x86/mm: Add _PAGE_NOPTISHADOW bit to avoid updating userspace page tables

2024-12-05T12:04:00Z

The set_p4d() and set_pgd() functions (in 4-level or 5-level page table setups respectively) assume that the root page table is actually a 8KiB allocation, with the userspace root immediately after the kernel root page table (so that the former can enforce NX on on all the subordinate page tables, which are actually shared). However, users of the kernel_ident_mapping_init() code do not give it an 8KiB allocation for its PGD. Both swsusp_arch_resume() and acpi_mp_setup_reset() allocate only a single 4KiB page. The kexec code on x86_64 currently gets away with it purely by chance, because it allocates 8KiB for its "control code page" and then actually uses the first half for the PGD, then copies the actual trampoline code into the second half only after the identmap code has finished scribbling over it. Fix this by defining a _PAGE_NOPTISHADOW bit (which can use the same bit as _PAGE_SAVED_DIRTY since one is only for the PGD/P4D root and the other is exclusively for leaf PTEs.). This instructs __pti_set_user_pgtbl() not to write to the userspace 'shadow' PGD. Strictly, the _PAGE_NOPTISHADOW bit doesn't need to be written out to the actual page tables; since __pti_set_user_pgtbl() returns the value to be written to the kernel page table, it could be filtered out. But there seems to be no benefit to actually doing so.

futex: improve user space accesses

2024-11-25T20:11:55Z

Josh Poimboeuf reports that he got a "will-it-scale.per_process_ops 1.9% improvement" report for his patch that changed __get_user() to use pointer masking instead of the explicit speculation barrier. However, that patch doesn't actually work in the general case, because some (very bad) architecture-specific code actually depends on __get_user() also working on kernel addresses. A profile showed that the offending __get_user() was the futex code, which really should be fixed up to not use that horrid legacy case. Rewrite futex_get_value_locked() to use the modern user acccess helpers, and inline it so that the compiler not only avoids the function call for a few instructions, but can do CSE on the address masking. It also turns out the x86 futex functions have unnecessary barriers in other places, so let's fix those up too.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini: "The biggest change here is eliminating the awful idea that KVM had of essentially guessing which pfns are refcounted pages. The reason to do so was that KVM needs to map both non-refcounted pages (for example BARs of VFIO devices) and VM_PFNMAP/VM_MIXMEDMAP VMAs that contain refcounted pages. However, the result was security issues in the past, and more recently the inability to map VM_IO and VM_PFNMAP memory that _is_ backed by struct page but is not refcounted. In particular this broke virtio-gpu blob resources (which directly map host graphics buffers into the guest as "vram" for the virtio-gpu device) with the amdgpu driver, because amdgpu allocates non-compound higher order pages and the tail pages could not be mapped into KVM. This requires adjusting all uses of struct page in the per-architecture code, to always work on the pfn whenever possible. The large series that did this, from David Stevens and Sean Christopherson, also cleaned up substantially the set of functions that provided arch code with the pfn for a host virtual addresses. The previous maze of twisty little passages, all different, is replaced by five functions (__gfn_to_page, __kvm_faultin_pfn, the non-__ versions of these two, and kvm_prefetch_pages) saving almost 200 lines of code. ARM: - Support for stage-1 permission indirection (FEAT_S1PIE) and permission overlays (FEAT_S1POE), including nested virt + the emulated page table walker - Introduce PSCI SYSTEM_OFF2 support to KVM + client driver. This call was introduced in PSCIv1.3 as a mechanism to request hibernation, similar to the S4 state in ACPI - Explicitly trap + hide FEAT_MPAM (QoS controls) from KVM guests. As part of it, introduce trivial initialization of the host's MPAM context so KVM can use the corresponding traps - PMU support under nested virtualization, honoring the guest hypervisor's trap configuration and event filtering when running a nested guest - Fixes to vgic ITS serialization where stale device/interrupt table entries are not zeroed when the mapping is invalidated by the VM - Avoid emulated MMIO completion if userspace has requested synchronous external abort injection - Various fixes and cleanups affecting pKVM, vCPU initialization, and selftests LoongArch: - Add iocsr and mmio bus simulation in kernel. - Add in-kernel interrupt controller emulation. - Add support for virtualization extensions to the eiointc irqchip. PPC: - Drop lingering and utterly obsolete references to PPC970 KVM, which was removed 10 years ago. - Fix incorrect documentation references to non-existing ioctls RISC-V: - Accelerate KVM RISC-V when running as a guest - Perf support to collect KVM guest statistics from host side s390: - New selftests: more ucontrol selftests and CPU model sanity checks - Support for the gen17 CPU model - List registers supported by KVM_GET/SET_ONE_REG in the documentation x86: - Cleanup KVM's handling of Accessed and Dirty bits to dedup code, improve documentation, harden against unexpected changes. Even if the hardware A/D tracking is disabled, it is possible to use the hardware-defined A/D bits to track if a PFN is Accessed and/or Dirty, and that removes a lot of special cases. - Elide TLB flushes when aging secondary PTEs, as has been done in x86's primary MMU for over 10 years. - Recover huge pages in-place in the TDP MMU when dirty page logging is toggled off, instead of zapping them and waiting until the page is re-accessed to create a huge mapping. This reduces vCPU jitter. - Batch TLB flushes when dirty page logging is toggled off. This reduces the time it takes to disable dirty logging by ~3x. - Remove the shrinker that was (poorly) attempting to reclaim shadow page tables in low-memory situations. - Clean up and optimize KVM's handling of writes to MSR_IA32_APICBASE. - Advertise CPUIDs for new instructions in Clearwater Forest - Quirk KVM's misguided behavior of initialized certain feature MSRs to their maximum supported feature set, which can result in KVM creating invalid vCPU state. E.g. initializing PERF_CAPABILITIES to a non-zero value results in the vCPU having invalid state if userspace hides PDCM from the guest, which in turn can lead to save/restore failures. - Fix KVM's handling of non-canonical checks for vCPUs that support LA57 to better follow the "architecture", in quotes because the actual behavior is poorly documented. E.g. most MSR writes and descriptor table loads ignore CR4.LA57 and operate purely on whether the CPU supports LA57. - Bypass the register cache when querying CPL from kvm_sched_out(), as filling the cache from IRQ context is generally unsafe; harden the cache accessors to try to prevent similar issues from occuring in the future. The issue that triggered this change was already fixed in 6.12, but was still kinda latent. - Advertise AMD_IBPB_RET to userspace, and fix a related bug where KVM over-advertises SPEC_CTRL when trying to support cross-vendor VMs. - Minor cleanups - Switch hugepage recovery thread to use vhost_task. These kthreads can consume significant amounts of CPU time on behalf of a VM or in response to how the VM behaves (for example how it accesses its memory); therefore KVM tried to place the thread in the VM's cgroups and charge the CPU time consumed by that work to the VM's container. However the kthreads did not process SIGSTOP/SIGCONT, and therefore cgroups which had KVM instances inside could not complete freezing. Fix this by replacing the kthread with a PF_USER_WORKER thread, via the vhost_task abstraction. Another 100+ lines removed, with generally better behavior too like having these threads properly parented in the process tree. - Revert a workaround for an old CPU erratum (Nehalem/Westmere) that didn't really work; there was really nothing to work around anyway: the broken patch was meant to fix nested virtualization, but the PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL MSR is virtualized and therefore unaffected by the erratum. - Fix 6.12 regression where CONFIG_KVM will be built as a module even if asked to be builtin, as long as neither KVM_INTEL nor KVM_AMD is 'y'. x86 selftests: - x86 selftests can now use AVX. Documentation: - Use rST internal links - Reorganize the introduction to the API document Generic: - Protect vcpu->pid accesses outside of vcpu->mutex with a rwlock instead of RCU, so that running a vCPU on a different task doesn't encounter long due to having to wait for all CPUs become quiescent. In general both reads and writes are rare, but userspace that supports confidential computing is introducing the use of "helper" vCPUs that may jump from one host processor to another.

The second lets the guest opt in to be able to access the topology CPUID leaves. Before this, accesses to those leaves would #VE. For both of these, it would have been nicest to just change the default behavior, but some pesky "other" OSes evidently need to retain the legacy behavior.
