Merge patch series "riscv: Userspace pointer masking and tagged address ABI"
Samuel Holland <samuel.holland@sifive.com> says:
RISC-V defines three extensions for pointer masking[1]:
- Smmpm: configured in M-mode, affects M-mode
- Smnpm: configured in M-mode, affects the next lower mode (S or U-mode)
- Ssnpm: configured in S-mode, affects the next lower mode (VS, VU, or U-mode)
This series adds support for configuring Smnpm or Ssnpm (depending on
which privilege mode the kernel is running in) to allow pointer masking
in userspace (VU or U-mode), extending the PR_SET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL API
from arm64. Unlike arm64 TBI, userspace pointer masking is not enabled
by default on RISC-V. Additionally, the tag width (referred to as PMLEN)
is variable, so userspace needs to ask the kernel for a specific tag
width, which is interpreted as a lower bound on the number of tag bits.
This series also adds support for a tagged address ABI similar to arm64
and x86. Since accesses from the kernel to user memory use the kernel's
pointer masking configuration, not the user's, the kernel must untag
user pointers in software before dereferencing them. And since the tag
width is variable, as with LAM on x86, it must be kept the same across
all threads in a process so untagged_addr_remote() can work.

RISC-V: KVM: Allow Smnpm and Ssnpm extensions for guests
The interface for controlling pointer masking in VS-mode is henvcfg.PMM,
which is part of the Ssnpm extension, even though pointer masking in
HS-mode is provided by the Smnpm extension. As a result, emulating Smnpm
in the guest requires (only) Ssnpm on the host.
The guest configures Smnpm through the SBI Firmware Features extension,
which KVM does not yet implement, so currently the ISA extension has no
visible effect on the guest, and thus it cannot be disabled. Ssnpm is
configured using the senvcfg CSR within the guest, so that extension
cannot be hidden from the guest without intercepting writes to the CSR.

riscv: hwprobe: Export the Supm ISA extension
Supm is a virtual ISA extension defined in the RISC-V Pointer Masking
specification, which indicates that pointer masking is available in
U-mode. It can be provided by either Smnpm or Ssnpm, depending on which
mode the kernel runs in. Userspace should not care about this
distinction, so export Supm instead of either underlying extension.
Hide the extension if the kernel was compiled without support for the
pointer masking prctl() interface.

riscv: Add support for the tagged address ABI
When pointer masking is enabled for userspace, the kernel can accept
tagged pointers as arguments to some system calls. Allow this by
untagging the pointers in access_ok() and the uaccess routines. The
uaccess routines must peform untagging in software because U-mode and
S-mode have entirely separate pointer masking configurations. In fact,
hardware may not even implement pointer masking for S-mode.
Since the number of tag bits is variable, untagged_addr_remote() needs
to know what PMLEN to use for the remote mm. Therefore, the pointer
masking mode must be the same for all threads sharing an mm. Enforce
this with a lock flag in the mm context, as x86 does for LAM. The flag
gets reset in init_new_context() during fork(), as the new mm is no
longer multithreaded.

so userspace can request a lower bound on the number of tag bits and
determine the actual number of tag bits. As with arm64's
PR_TAGGED_ADDR_ENABLE, the pointer masking configuration is
thread-scoped, inherited on clone() and fork() and cleared on execve().

it during context switches. It is safe to discard the old CSR value

so the CSR will remain in sync with the copy in thread_struct.
Use ALTERNATIVE directly instead of riscv_has_extension_unlikely() to
minimize branchiness in the context switching code.

riscv: Enable cbo.zero only when all harts support Zicboz
Currently, we enable cbo.zero for usermode on each hart that supports
the Zicboz extension. This means that the [ms]envcfg CSR value may
differ between harts. Other features, such as pointer masking and CFI,
require setting [ms]envcfg bits on a per-thread basis. The combination
of these two adds quite some complexity and overhead to context
switching, as we would need to maintain two separate masks for the
per-hart and per-thread bits. Andrew Jones, who originally added Zicboz
support, writes[1][2]:
I've approached Zicboz the same way I would approach all
extensions, which is to be per-hart. I'm not currently aware of
a platform that is / will be composed of harts where some have
Zicboz and others don't, but there's nothing stopping a platform
like that from being built.
So, how about we add code that confirms Zicboz is on all harts.
If any hart does not have it, then we complain loudly and disable
it on all the other harts. If it was just a hardware description
bug, then it'll get fixed. If there's actually a platform which
doesn't have Zicboz on all harts, then, when the issue is reported,
we can decide to not support it, support it with defconfig, or
support it under a Kconfig guard which must be enabled by the user.
Let's follow his suggested solution and require the extension to be
available on all harts, so the envcfg CSR value does not need to change
when a thread migrates between harts. Since we are doing this for all
extensions with fields in envcfg, the CSR itself only needs to be saved/
restored when it is present on all harts.
This should not be a regression as no known hardware has asymmetric
Zicboz support, but if anyone reports seeing the warning, we will
re-evaluate our solution.

Pull x86 kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"x86:
- KVM currently invalidates the entirety of the page tables, not just
those for the memslot being touched, when a memslot is moved or
deleted.
This does not traditionally have particularly noticeable overhead,
but Intel's TDX will require the guest to re-accept private pages
if they are dropped from the secure EPT, which is a non starter.
Actually, the only reason why this is not already being done is a
bug which was never fully investigated and caused VM instability
with assigned GeForce GPUs, so allow userspace to opt into the new
behavior.
- Advertise AVX10.1 to userspace (effectively prep work for the
"real" AVX10 functionality that is on the horizon)
- Rework common MSR handling code to suppress errors on userspace
accesses to unsupported-but-advertised MSRs
This will allow removing (almost?) all of KVM's exemptions for
userspace access to MSRs that shouldn't exist based on the vCPU
model (the actual cleanup is non-trivial future work)
- Rework KVM's handling of x2APIC ICR, again, because AMD (x2AVIC)
splits the 64-bit value into the legacy ICR and ICR2 storage,
whereas Intel (APICv) stores the entire 64-bit value at the ICR
offset
- Fix a bug where KVM would fail to exit to userspace if one was
triggered by a fastpath exit handler
- Add fastpath handling of HLT VM-Exit to expedite re-entering the
guest when there's already a pending wake event at the time of the
exit
- Fix a WARN caused by RSM entering a nested guest from SMM with
invalid guest state, by forcing the vCPU out of guest mode prior to
signalling SHUTDOWN (the SHUTDOWN hits the VM altogether, not the
nested guest)
- Overhaul the "unprotect and retry" logic to more precisely identify
cases where retrying is actually helpful, and to harden all retry
paths against putting the guest into an infinite retry loop
- Add support for yielding, e.g. to honor NEED_RESCHED, when zapping
rmaps in the shadow MMU
- Refactor pieces of the shadow MMU related to aging SPTEs in
prepartion for adding multi generation LRU support in KVM
- Don't stuff the RSB after VM-Exit when RETPOLINE=y and AutoIBRS is
enabled, i.e. when the CPU has already flushed the RSB
- Trace the per-CPU host save area as a VMCB pointer to improve
readability and cleanup the retrieval of the SEV-ES host save area
- Remove unnecessary accounting of temporary nested VMCB related
allocations
- Set FINAL/PAGE in the page fault error code for EPT violations if
and only if the GVA is valid. If the GVA is NOT valid, there is no
guest-side page table walk and so stuffing paging related metadata
is nonsensical
- Fix a bug where KVM would incorrectly synthesize a nested VM-Exit
instead of emulating posted interrupt delivery to L2
- Add a lockdep assertion to detect unsafe accesses of vmcs12
structures
- Harden eVMCS loading against an impossible NULL pointer deref
(really truly should be impossible)
- Minor SGX fix and a cleanup
- Misc cleanups
Generic:
- Register KVM's cpuhp and syscore callbacks when enabling
virtualization in hardware, as the sole purpose of said callbacks
is to disable and re-enable virtualization as needed
- Enable virtualization when KVM is loaded, not right before the
first VM is created
Together with the previous change, this simplifies a lot the logic
of the callbacks, because their very existence implies
virtualization is enabled
- Fix a bug that results in KVM prematurely exiting to userspace for
coalesced MMIO/PIO in many cases, clean up the related code, and
add a testcase
- Fix a bug in kvm_clear_guest() where it would trigger a buffer
overflow _if_ the gpa+len crosses a page boundary, which thankfully
is guaranteed to not happen in the current code base. Add WARNs in
more helpers that read/write guest memory to detect similar bugs
Selftests:
- Fix a goof that caused some Hyper-V tests to be skipped when run on
bare metal, i.e. NOT in a VM
- Add a regression test for KVM's handling of SHUTDOWN for an SEV-ES
guest
- Explicitly include one-off assets in .gitignore. Past Sean was
completely wrong about not being able to detect missing .gitignore
entries
- Verify userspace single-stepping works when KVM happens to handle a
VM-Exit in its fastpath
- Misc cleanups"

This was added to avoid double-counting accounting keys in journal

- transaction commit may return a restart; therefore we have to commit
