Merge tag 'io_uring-7.3-20261002' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linuxgrafted
Pull io_uring fixes from Jens Axboe:
- Fix a task_work add use-after-free with SQPOLL.
The sqpoll thread could pop and complete the last request while
io_req_normal_work_add() was still looking at them after the mpscq
push.
Use the same approach as DEFER_TASKRUN to protect from that, holding
an RCU read lock across the add, and have exit wait for an RCU grace
period for SQPOLL rings as well.
- CQE32 ring fixes: correct the free entry check for 32b CQEs, zero the
big_cqe for aux CQEs, and only post the dummy skip CQE on CQE_MIXED
rings
- Mark the source filter table as COW when cloning bpf filters, so
registering another filter on the source doesn't modify the shared
table in place
- Initialize the task context before running the BPF loop
- Requeue zcrx multishot receives stopped by a local resource
- End a TX_TIMESTAMP multishot cmd when the CQ is full (lollipopkit)

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +======================================= +ARM firmware pseudo-registers interface +======================================= + +KVM handles the hypercall services as requested by the guests. New hypercall +services are regularly made available by the ARM specification or by KVM (as +vendor services) if they make sense from a virtualization point of view. + +This means that a guest booted on two different versions of KVM can observe +two different "firmware" revisions. This could cause issues if a given guest +is tied to a particular version of a hypercall service, or if a migration +causes a different version to be exposed out of the blue to an unsuspecting +guest. + +In order to remedy this situation, KVM exposes a set of "firmware +pseudo-registers" that can be manipulated using the GET/SET_ONE_REG +interface. These registers can be saved/restored by userspace, and set +to a convenient value as required. + +The following registers are defined: + +* KVM_REG_ARM_PSCI_VERSION: + + KVM implements the PSCI (Power State Coordination Interface) + specification in order to provide services such as CPU on/off, reset + and power-off to the guest. + + - Only valid if the vcpu has the KVM_ARM_VCPU_PSCI_0_2 feature set + (and thus has already been initialized) + - Returns the current PSCI version on GET_ONE_REG (defaulting to the + highest PSCI version implemented by KVM and compatible with v0.2) + - Allows any PSCI version implemented by KVM and compatible with + v0.2 to be set with SET_ONE_REG + - Affects the whole VM (even if the register view is per-vcpu) + +* KVM_REG_ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1: + Holds the state of the firmware support to mitigate CVE-2017-5715, as + offered by KVM to the guest via a HVC call.

This way userspace can discover all the usable +hypercall services via GET_ONE_REG. The user-space can write-back the +desired bitmap back via SET_ONE_REG. The features for the registers that +are untouched, probably because userspace isn't aware of them, will be +exposed as is to the guest. + +Note that KVM will not allow the userspace to configure the registers +anymore once any of the vCPUs has run at least once.

During boot, pKVM installs a stage-2 identity +map page-table for the host and uses it to isolate the hypervisor +running at EL2 from the rest of the host running at EL1/0. + +pKVM permits creation of protected virtual machines (pVMs) by passing +the ``KVM_VM_TYPE_ARM_PROTECTED`` machine type identifier to the +``KVM_CREATE_VM`` ioctl(). The hypervisor isolates pVMs from the host by +unmapping pages from the stage-2 identity map as they are accessed by a +pVM. Hypercalls are provided for a pVM to share specific regions of its +IPA space back with the host, allowing for communication with the VMM. +A Linux guest must be configured with ``CONFIG_ARM_PKVM_GUEST=y`` in +order to issue these hypercalls. + +See hypercalls.rst for more details. + +Isolation mechanisms +==================== + +pKVM relies on a number of mechanisms to isolate PVMs from the host: + +CPU memory isolation +-------------------- + +Status: Isolation of anonymous memory and metadata pages. + +Metadata pages (e.g. page-table pages and '``struct kvm_vcpu``' pages) +are donated from the host to the hypervisor during pVM creation and +are consequently unmapped from the stage-2 identity map until the pVM is +destroyed. + +Similarly to regular KVM, pages are lazily mapped into the guest in +response to stage-2 page faults handled by the host. However, when +running a pVM, these pages are first pinned and then unmapped from the +stage-2 identity map as part of the donation procedure. This gives rise +to some user-visible differences when compared to non-protected VMs, +largely due to the lack of MMU notifiers: + +* Memslots cannot be moved or deleted once the pVM has started running. +* Read-only memslots and dirty logging are not supported. +* With the exception of swap, file-backed pages cannot be mapped into a + pVM. +* Donated pages are accounted against ``RLIMIT_MLOCK`` and so the VMM + must have a sufficient resource limit or be granted ``CAP_IPC_LOCK``. + The lack of a runtime reclaim mechanism means that memory locked for + a pVM will remain locked until the pVM is destroyed. +* Changes to the VMM address space (e.g. a ``MAP_FIXED`` mmap() over a + mapping associated with a memslot) are not reflected in the guest and + may lead to loss of coherency. +* Accessing pVM memory that has not been shared back will result in the + delivery of a SIGSEGV. +* If a system call accesses pVM memory that has not been shared back + then it will either return ``-EFAULT`` or forcefully reclaim the + memory pages.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +=============================== +vCPU feature selection on arm64 +=============================== + +KVM/arm64 provides two mechanisms that allow userspace to configure +the CPU features presented to the guest. + +KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT +================= + +The ``KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT`` ioctl accepts a bitmap of feature flags +(``struct kvm_vcpu_init::features``). Features enabled by this interface are +*opt-in* and may change/extend UAPI. See :ref:`KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT` for complete +documentation of the features controlled by the ioctl. + +Otherwise, all CPU features supported by KVM are described by the architected +ID registers. + +The ID Registers +================ + +The Arm architecture specifies a range of *ID Registers* that describe the set +of architectural features supported by the CPU implementation. KVM initializes +the guest's ID registers to the maximum set of CPU features supported by the +system. The ID register values may be VM-scoped in KVM, meaning that the +values could be shared for all vCPUs in a VM. + +KVM allows userspace to *opt-out* of certain CPU features described by the ID +registers by writing values to them via the ``KVM_SET_ONE_REG`` ioctl. The ID +registers are mutable until the VM has started, i.e. userspace has called +``KVM_RUN`` on at least one vCPU in the VM. Userspace can discover what fields +are mutable in the ID registers using the ``KVM_ARM_GET_REG_WRITABLE_MASKS``. +See the :ref:`ioctl documentation <KVM_ARM_GET_REG_WRITABLE_MASKS>` for more +details. + +Userspace is allowed to *limit* or *mask* CPU features according to the rules +outlined by the architecture in DDI0487J.a D19.1.3 'Principles of the ID +scheme for fields in ID register'. KVM does not allow ID register values that +exceed the capabilities of the system. + +.. warning:: + It is **strongly recommended** that userspace modify the ID register values + before accessing the rest of the vCPU's CPU register state. KVM may use the + ID register values to control feature emulation. Interleaving ID register + modification with other system register accesses may lead to unpredictable + behavior. |
