A lot of the registers are controlled by the Ultravisor and never visible to KVM. Some fields in the sie control block are overlayed, like gbea. As no known userspace uses the ONE_REG interface on s390 if sync regs are available, no functionality is lost if it is disabled for protected guests.

The architecture states that we need to reset local IRQs for all CPU resets. Because the old reset interface did not support the normal CPU reset we never did that on a normal reset. Let's implement an interface for the missing normal and clear resets and reset all local IRQs, registers and control structures as stated in the architecture. Userspace might already reset the registers via the vcpu run struct, but as we need the interface for the interrupt clearing part anyway, we implement the resets fully and don't rely on userspace to reset the rest.

Add support for reset of secure guest via a new ioctl KVM_PPC_SVM_OFF. This ioctl will be issued by QEMU during reset and includes the the following steps: - Release all device pages of the secure guest. - Ask UV to terminate the guest via UV_SVM_TERMINATE ucall - Unpin the VPA pages so that they can be migrated back to secure side when guest becomes secure again. This is required because pinned pages can't be migrated. - Reinit the partition scoped page tables After these steps, guest is ready to issue UV_ESM call once again to switch to secure mode.

In some scenarios, such as buggy guest or incorrect configuration of the VMM and firmware description data, userspace will detect a memory access to a portion of the IPA, which is not mapped to any MMIO region. For this purpose, the appropriate action is to inject an external abort to the guest. The kernel already has functionality to inject an external abort, but we need to wire up a signal from user space that lets user space tell the kernel to do this. It turns out, we already have the set event functionality which we can perfectly reuse for this.

For a long time, if a guest accessed memory outside of a memslot using any of the load/store instructions in the architecture which doesn't supply decoding information in the ESR_EL2 (the ISV bit is not set), the kernel would print the following message and terminate the VM as a result of returning -ENOSYS to userspace: load/store instruction decoding not implemented The reason behind this message is that KVM assumes that all accesses outside a memslot is an MMIO access which should be handled by userspace, and we originally expected to eventually implement some sort of decoding of load/store instructions where the ISV bit was not set. However, it turns out that many of the instructions which don't provide decoding information on abort are not safe to use for MMIO accesses, and the remaining few that would potentially make sense to use on MMIO accesses, such as those with register writeback, are not used in practice. It also turns out that fetching an instruction from guest memory can be a pretty horrible affair, involving stopping all CPUs on SMP systems, handling multiple corner cases of address translation in software, and more. It doesn't appear likely that we'll ever implement this in the kernel. What is much more common is that a user has misconfigured his/her guest and is actually not accessing an MMIO region, but just hitting some random hole in the IPA space. In this scenario, the error message above is almost misleading and has led to a great deal of confusion over the years. It is, nevertheless, ABI to userspace, and we therefore need to introduce a new capability that userspace explicitly enables to change behavior. This patch introduces KVM_CAP_ARM_NISV_TO_USER (NISV meaning Non-ISV) which does exactly that, and introduces a new exit reason to report the event to userspace. User space can then emulate an exception to the guest, restart the guest, suspend the guest, or take any other appropriate action as per the policy of the running system.

While parts of the VGIC support a large number of vcpus (we bravely allow up to 512), other parts are more limited. One of these limits is visible in the KVM_IRQ_LINE ioctl, which only allows 256 vcpus to be signalled when using the CPU or PPI types. Unfortunately, we've cornered ourselves badly by allocating all the bits in the irq field. Since the irq_type subfield (8 bit wide) is currently only taking the values 0, 1 and 2 (and we have been careful not to allow anything else), let's reduce this field to only 4 bits, and allocate the remaining 4 bits to a vcpu2_index, which acts as a multiplier: vcpu_id = 256 * vcpu2_index + vcpu_index With that, and a new capability (KVM_CAP_ARM_IRQ_LINE_LAYOUT_2) allowing this to be discovered, it becomes possible to inject PPIs to up to 4096 vcpus. But please just don't. Whilst we're there, add a clarification about the use of KVM_IRQ_LINE on arm, which is not completely conditionned by KVM_CAP_IRQCHIP.

Improve the KVM_{GET,SET}_NESTED_STATE structs by detailing the format of VMX nested state data in a struct. In order to avoid changing the ioctl values of KVM_{GET,SET}_NESTED_STATE, there is a need to preserve sizeof(struct kvm_nested_state). This is done by defining the data struct as "data.vmx[0]". It was the most elegant way I found to preserve struct size while still keeping struct readable and easy to maintain. It does have a misfortunate side-effect that now it has to be accessed as "data.vmx[0]" rather than just "data.vmx". Because we are already modifying these structs, I also modified the following: * Define the "format" field values as macros. * Rename vmcs_pa to vmcs12_pa for better readability.

A complicated DIV_ROUND_UP() expression is currently written out explicitly in multiple places in order to specify the size of the bitmap exchanged with userspace to represent the value of the KVM_REG_ARM64_SVE_VLS pseudo-register. Userspace currently has no direct way to work this out either: for documentation purposes, the size is just quoted as 8 u64s. To make this more intuitive, this patch replaces these with a single define, which is also exported to userspace as KVM_ARM64_SVE_VLS_WORDS. Since the number of words in a bitmap is just the index of the last word used + 1, this patch expresses the bound that way instead. This should make it clearer what is being expressed. For userspace convenience, the minimum and maximum possible vector lengths relevant to the KVM ABI are exposed to UAPI as KVM_ARM64_SVE_VQ_MIN, KVM_ARM64_SVE_VQ_MAX. Since the only direct use for these at present is manipulation of KVM_REG_ARM64_SVE_VLS, no corresponding _VL_ macros are defined. They could be added later if a need arises. Since use of DIV_ROUND_UP() was the only reason for including <linux/kernel.h> in guest.c, this patch also removes that #include.

The series to add memcg accounting to KVM allocations[1] states: There are many KVM kernel memory allocations which are tied to the life of the VM process and should be charged to the VM process's cgroup. While it is correct to account KVM kernel allocations to the cgroup of the process that created the VM, it's technically incorrect to state that the KVM kernel memory allocations are tied to the life of the VM process. This is because the VM itself, i.e. struct kvm, is not tied to the life of the process which created it, rather it is tied to the life of its associated file descriptor. In other words, kvm_destroy_vm() is not invoked until fput() decrements its associated file's refcount to zero. A simple example is to fork() in Qemu and have the child sleep indefinitely; kvm_destroy_vm() isn't called until Qemu closes its file descriptor *and* the rogue child is killed. The allocations are guaranteed to be *accounted* to the process which created the VM, but only because KVM's per-{VM,vCPU} ioctls reject the ioctl() with -EIO if kvm->mm != current->mm. I.e. the child can keep the VM "alive" but can't do anything useful with its reference. Note that because 'struct kvm' also holds a reference to the mm_struct of its owner, the above behavior also applies to userspace allocations. Given that mucking with a VM's file descriptor can lead to subtle and undesirable behavior, e.g. memcg charges persisting after a VM is shut down, explicitly document a VM's lifecycle and its impact on the VM's resources. Alternatively, KVM could aggressively free resources when the creating process exits, e.g. via mmu_notifier->release(). However, mmu_notifier isn't guaranteed to be available, and freeing resources when the creator exits is likely to be error prone and fragile as KVM would need to ensure that it only freed resources that are truly out of reach. In practice, the existing behavior shouldn't be problematic as a properly configured system will prevent a child process from being moved out of the appropriate cgroup hierarchy, i.e. prevent hiding the process from the OOM killer, and will prevent an unprivileged user from being able to to hold a reference to struct kvm via another method, e.g. debugfs.
