Pull integrity updates from Mimi Zohar:
"There are two main changes, one feature removal, some code cleanup,
and a number of bug fixes.
Main changes:
- Detecting secure boot mode was limited to IMA. Make detecting
secure boot mode accessible to EVM and other LSMs
- IMA sigv3 support was limited to fsverity. Add IMA sigv3 support
for IMA regular file hashes and EVM portable signatures
Remove:
- Remove IMA support for asychronous hash calculation originally
added for hardware acceleration
Cleanup:
- Remove unnecessary Kconfig CONFIG_MODULE_SIG and CONFIG_KEXEC_SIG
tests
- Add descriptions of the IMA atomic flags
Bug fixes:
- Like IMA, properly limit EVM "fix" mode
- Define and call evm_fix_hmac() to update security.evm
- Fallback to using i_version to detect file change for filesystems
that do not support STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE
- Address missing kernel support for configured (new) TPM hash
algorithms
- Add missing crypto_shash_final() return value"

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"Arm:
- Add support for tracing in the standalone EL2 hypervisor code,
which should help both debugging and performance analysis. This
uses the new infrastructure for 'remote' trace buffers that can be
exposed by non-kernel entities such as firmware, and which came
through the tracing tree
- Add support for GICv5 Per Processor Interrupts (PPIs), as the
starting point for supporting the new GIC architecture in KVM
- Finally add support for pKVM protected guests, where pages are
unmapped from the host as they are faulted into the guest and can
be shared back from the guest using pKVM hypercalls. Protected
guests are created using a new machine type identifier. As the
elusive guestmem has not yet delivered on its promises, anonymous
memory is also supported
This is only a first step towards full isolation from the host; for
example, the CPU register state and DMA accesses are not yet
isolated. Because this does not really yet bring fully what it
promises, it is hidden behind CONFIG_ARM_PKVM_GUEST +
'kvm-arm.mode=protected', and also triggers TAINT_USER when a VM is
created. Caveat emptor
- Rework the dreaded user_mem_abort() function to make it more
maintainable, reducing the amount of state being exposed to the
various helpers and rendering a substantial amount of state
immutable
- Expand the Stage-2 page table dumper to support NV shadow page
tables on a per-VM basis
- Tidy up the pKVM PSCI proxy code to be slightly less hard to
follow
- Fix both SPE and TRBE in non-VHE configurations so that they do not
generate spurious, out of context table walks that ultimately lead
to very bad HW lockups
- A small set of patches fixing the Stage-2 MMU freeing in error
cases
- Tighten-up accepted SMC immediate value to be only #0 for host
SMCCC calls
- The usual cleanups and other selftest churn
LoongArch:
- Use CSR_CRMD_PLV for kvm_arch_vcpu_in_kernel()
- Add DMSINTC irqchip in kernel support
RISC-V:
- Fix steal time shared memory alignment checks
- Fix vector context allocation leak
- Fix array out-of-bounds in pmu_ctr_read() and pmu_fw_ctr_read_hi()
- Fix double-free of sdata in kvm_pmu_clear_snapshot_area()
- Fix integer overflow in kvm_pmu_validate_counter_mask()
- Fix shift-out-of-bounds in make_xfence_request()
- Fix lost write protection on huge pages during dirty logging
- Split huge pages during fault handling for dirty logging
- Skip CSR restore if VCPU is reloaded on the same core
- Implement kvm_arch_has_default_irqchip() for KVM selftests
- Factored-out ISA checks into separate sources
- Added hideleg to struct kvm_vcpu_config
- Factored-out VCPU config into separate sources
- Support configuration of per-VM HGATP mode from KVM user space
s390:
- Support for ESA (31-bit) guests inside nested hypervisors
- Remove restriction on memslot alignment, which is not needed
anymore with the new gmap code
- Fix LPSW/E to update the bear (which of course is the breaking
event address register)
x86:
- Shut up various UBSAN warnings on reading module parameter before
they were initialized
- Don't zero-allocate page tables that are used for splitting
hugepages in the TDP MMU, as KVM is guaranteed to set all SPTEs in
the page table and thus write all bytes
- As an optimization, bail early when trying to unsync 4KiB mappings
if the target gfn can just be mapped with a 2MiB hugepage
x86 generic:
- Copy single-chunk MMIO write values into struct kvm_vcpu (more
precisely struct kvm_mmio_fragment) to fix use-after-free stack
bugs where KVM would dereference stack pointer after an exit to
userspace
- Clean up and comment the emulated MMIO code to try to make it
easier to maintain (not necessarily "easy", but "easier")
- Move VMXON+VMXOFF and EFER.SVME toggling out of KVM (not *all* of
VMX and SVM enabling) as it is needed for trusted I/O
- Advertise support for AVX512 Bit Matrix Multiply (BMM) instructions
- Immediately fail the build if a required #define is missing in one
of KVM's headers that is included multiple times
- Reject SET_GUEST_DEBUG with -EBUSY if there's an already injected
exception, mostly to prevent syzkaller from abusing the uAPI to
trigger WARNs, but also because it can help prevent userspace from
unintentionally crashing the VM
- Exempt SMM from CPUID faulting on Intel, as per the spec
- Misc hardening and cleanup changes
x86 (AMD):
- Fix and optimize IRQ window inhibit handling for AVIC; make it
per-vCPU so that KVM doesn't prematurely re-enable AVIC if multiple
vCPUs have to-be-injected IRQs
- Clean up and optimize the OSVW handling, avoiding a bug in which
KVM would overwrite state when enabling virtualization on multiple
CPUs in parallel. This should not be a problem because OSVW should
usually be the same for all CPUs
- Drop a WARN in KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION where KVM complains
about a "too large" size based purely on user input
- Clean up and harden the pinning code for KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION
- Disallow synchronizing a VMSA of an already-launched/encrypted
vCPU, as doing so for an SNP guest will crash the host due to an
RMP violation page fault
- Overhaul KVM's APIs for detecting SEV+ guests so that VM-scoped
queries are required to hold kvm->lock, and enforce it by lockdep.
Fix various bugs where sev_guest() was not ensured to be stable for
the whole duration of a function or ioctl
- Convert a pile of kvm->lock SEV code to guard()
- Play nicer with userspace that does not enable
KVM_CAP_EXCEPTION_PAYLOAD, for which KVM needs to set CR2 and DR6
as a response to ioctls such as KVM_GET_VCPU_EVENTS (even if the
payload would end up in EXITINFO2 rather than CR2, for example).
Only set CR2 and DR6 when consumption of the payload is imminent,
but on the other hand force delivery of the payload in all paths
where userspace retrieves CR2 or DR6
- Use vcpu->arch.cr2 when updating vmcb12's CR2 on nested #VMEXIT
instead of vmcb02->save.cr2. The value is out of sync after a
save/restore or after a #PF is injected into L2
- Fix a class of nSVM bugs where some fields written by the CPU are
not synchronized from vmcb02 to cached vmcb12 after VMRUN, and so
are not up-to-date when saved by KVM_GET_NESTED_STATE
- Fix a class of bugs where the ordering between KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE
and KVM_SET_{S}REGS could cause vmcb02 to be incorrectly
initialized after save+restore
- Add a variety of missing nSVM consistency checks
- Fix several bugs where KVM failed to correctly update VMCB fields
on nested #VMEXIT
- Fix several bugs where KVM failed to correctly synthesize #UD or
#GP for SVM-related instructions
- Add support for save+restore of virtualized LBRs (on SVM)
- Refactor various helpers and macros to improve clarity and
(hopefully) make the code easier to maintain
- Aggressively sanitize fields when copying from vmcb12, to guard
against unintentionally allowing L1 to utilize yet-to-be-defined
features
- Fix several bugs where KVM botched rAX legality checks when
emulating SVM instructions. There are remaining issues in that KVM
doesn't handle size prefix overrides for 64-bit guests
- Fail emulation of VMRUN/VMLOAD/VMSAVE if mapping vmcb12 fails
instead of somewhat arbitrarily synthesizing #GP (i.e. don't double
down on AMD's architectural but sketchy behavior of generating #GP
for "unsupported" addresses)
- Cache all used vmcb12 fields to further harden against TOCTOU bugs
x86 (Intel):
- Drop obsolete branch hint prefixes from the VMX instruction macros
- Use ASM_INPUT_RM() in __vmcs_writel() to coerce clang into using a
register input when appropriate
- Code cleanups
guest_memfd:
- Don't mark guest_memfd folios as accessed, as guest_memfd doesn't
support reclaim, the memory is unevictable, and there is no storage
to write back to
LoongArch selftests:
- Add KVM PMU test cases
s390 selftests:
- Enable more memory selftests
x86 selftests:
- Add support for Hygon CPUs in KVM selftests
- Fix a bug in the MSR test where it would get false failures on
AMD/Hygon CPUs with exactly one of RDPID or RDTSCP
- Add an MADV_COLLAPSE testcase for guest_memfd as a regression test
for a bug where the kernel would attempt to collapse guest_memfd
folios against KVM's will"

Zen1's hardware divider can leave, under certain circumstances, partial
results from previous operations. Those results can be leaked by
another, attacker thread.
Fix that with a chicken bit.

- "ocfs2/dlm: fix two bugs in dlm_match_regions()" (Junrui Luo)
- "cleanup the RAID5 XOR library" (Christoph Hellwig)
A quite far-reaching cleanup to this code. I can't do better than to
quote Christoph:
"The XOR library used for the RAID5 parity is a bit of a mess right
now. The main file sits in crypto/ despite not being cryptography
and not using the crypto API, with the generic implementations
sitting in include/asm-generic and the arch implementations
sitting in an asm/ header in theory. The latter doesn't work for
many cases, so architectures often build the code directly into
the core kernel, or create another module for the architecture
code.
Change this to a single module in lib/ that also contains the
architecture optimizations, similar to the library work Eric
Biggers has done for the CRC and crypto libraries later. After
that it changes to better calling conventions that allow for
smarter architecture implementations (although none is contained
here yet), and uses static_call to avoid indirection function call
overhead"

Pull x86 SEV updates from Borislav Petkov:
- Change the SEV host code handling of when SNP gets enabled in order
to allow the machine to claim SNP-related resources only when SNP
guests are really going to be launched. The user requests this by
loading the ccp module and thus it controls when SNP initialization
is done
So export an API which module code can call and do the necessary SNP
setup only when really needed
- Drop an unnecessary write-back and invalidate operation that was
being performed too early, since the ccp driver already issues its
own at the correct point in the initialization sequence
- Drop the hotplug callbacks for enabling SNP on newly onlined CPUs,
which were both architecturally unsound (the firmware rejects
initialization if any CPU lacks the required configuration) and buggy
(the MFDM SYSCFG MSR bit was not being set)
- Code refactoring and cleanups to accomplish the above

Pull timer core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- A rework of the hrtimer subsystem to reduce the overhead for
frequently armed timers, especially the hrtick scheduler timer:
- Better timer locality decision
- Simplification of the evaluation of the first expiry time by
keeping track of the neighbor timers in the RB-tree by providing
a RB-tree variant with neighbor links. That avoids walking the
RB-tree on removal to find the next expiry time, but even more
important allows to quickly evaluate whether a timer which is
rearmed changes the position in the RB-tree with the modified
expiry time or not. If not, the dequeue/enqueue sequence which
both can end up in rebalancing can be completely avoided.
- Deferred reprogramming of the underlying clock event device. This
optimizes for the situation where a hrtimer callback sets the
need resched bit. In that case the code attempts to defer the
re-programming of the clock event device up to the point where
the scheduler has picked the next task and has the next hrtick
timer armed. In case that there is no immediate reschedule or
soft interrupts have to be handled before reaching the reschedule
point in the interrupt entry code the clock event is reprogrammed
in one of those code paths to prevent that the timer becomes
stale.
- Support for clocksource coupled clockevents
The TSC deadline timer is coupled to the TSC. The next event is
programmed in TSC time. Currently this is done by converting the
CLOCK_MONOTONIC based expiry value into a relative timeout,
converting it into TSC ticks, reading the TSC adding the delta
ticks and writing the deadline MSR.
As the timekeeping core has the conversion factors for the TSC
already, the whole back and forth conversion can be completely
avoided. The timekeeping core calculates the reverse conversion
factors from nanoseconds to TSC ticks and utilizes the base
timestamps of TSC and CLOCK_MONOTONIC which are updated once per
tick. This allows a direct conversion into the TSC deadline value
without reading the time and as a bonus keeps the deadline
conversion in sync with the TSC conversion factors, which are
updated by adjtimex() on systems with NTP/PTP enabled.
- Allow inlining of the clocksource read and clockevent write
functions when they are tiny enough, e.g. on x86 RDTSC and WRMSR.
With all those enhancements in place a hrtick enabled scheduler
provides the same performance as without hrtick. But also other
hrtimer users obviously benefit from these optimizations.
- Robustness improvements and cleanups of historical sins in the
hrtimer and timekeeping code.
- Rewrite of the clocksource watchdog.
The clocksource watchdog code has over time reached the state of an
impenetrable maze of duct tape and staples. The original design,
which was made in the context of systems far smaller than today, is
based on the assumption that the to be monitored clocksource (TSC)
can be trivially compared against a known to be stable clocksource
(HPET/ACPI-PM timer).
Over the years this rather naive approach turned out to have major
flaws. Long delays between the watchdog invocations can cause wrap
arounds of the reference clocksource. The access to the reference
clocksource degrades on large multi-sockets systems dure to
interconnect congestion. This has been addressed with various
heuristics which degraded the accuracy of the watchdog to the point
that it fails to detect actual TSC problems on older hardware which
exposes slow inter CPU drifts due to firmware manipulating the TSC to
hide SMI time.
The rewrite addresses this by:
- Restricting the validation against the reference clocksource to
the boot CPU which is usually closest to the legacy block which
contains the reference clocksource (HPET/ACPI-PM).
- Do a round robin validation betwen the boot CPU and the other
CPUs based only on the TSC with an algorithm similar to the TSC
synchronization code during CPU hotplug.
- Being more leniant versus remote timeouts
- The usual tiny fixes, cleanups and enhancements all over the place

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"Once again, cpufreq is the most active development area, mostly
because of the new feature additions and documentation updates in the

KVM SVM changes for 7.1
- Fix and optimize IRQ window inhibit handling for AVIC (the tracking needs to
be per-vCPU, e.g. so that KVM doesn't prematurely re-enable AVIC if multiple
vCPUs have to-be-injected IRQs).
- Fix an undefined behavior warning where a crafty userspace can read the
"avic" module param before it's fully initialized.
- Fix a (likely benign) bug in the "OS-visible workarounds" handling, where
KVM could clobber state when enabling virtualization on multiple CPUs in
parallel, and clean up and optimize the code.
- Drop a WARN in KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION where KVM complains about a
"too large" size based purely on user input, and clean up and harden the
related pinning code.
- Disallow synchronizing a VMSA of an already-launched/encrypted vCPU, as
doing so for an SNP guest will trigger an RMP violation #PF and crash the
host.
- Protect all of sev_mem_enc_register_region() with kvm->lock to ensure
sev_guest() is stable for the entire of the function.
- Lock all vCPUs when synchronizing VMSAs for SNP guests to ensure the VMSA
page isn't actively being used.
- Overhaul KVM's APIs for detecting SEV+ guests so that VM-scoped queries are
required to hold kvm->lock (KVM has had multiple bugs due "is SEV?" checks
becoming stale), enforced by lockdep. Add and use vCPU-scoped APIs when
possible/appropriate, as all checks that originate from a vCPU are
guaranteed to be stable.
- Convert a pile of kvm->lock SEV code to guard().

This series cleans up some of the special user copy functions naming and
semantics. In particular, get rid of the (very traditional) double
underscore names and behavior: the whole "optimize away the range check"
model has been largely excised from the other user accessors because
it's so subtle and can be unsafe, but also because it's just not a
relevant optimization any more.
To do that, a couple of drivers that misused the "user" copies as kernel
copies in order to get non-temporal stores had to be fixed up, but that
kind of code should never have been allowed anyway.
The x86-only "nocache" version was also renamed to more accurately
reflect what it actually does.
This was all done because I looked at this code due to a report by Jann
Horn, and I just couldn't stand the inconsistent naming, the horrible
semantics, and the random misuse of these functions. This code should
probably be cleaned up further, but it's at least slightly closer to
normal semantics.
I had a more intrusive series that went even further in trying to
normalize the semantics, but that ended up hitting so many other
inconsistencies between different architectures in this area (eg
'size_t' vs 'unsigned long' vs 'int' as size arguments, and various
iovec check differences that Vasily Gorbik pointed out) that I ended up
with this more limited version that fixed the worst of the issues.

KVM x86 VMXON and EFER.SVME extraction for 7.1
Move _only_ VMXON+VMXOFF and EFER.SVME toggling out of KVM (versus all of VMX
and SVM enabling) out of KVM and into the core kernel so that non-KVM TDX
enabling, e.g. for trusted I/O, can make SEAMCALLs without needing to ensure
KVM is fully loaded.
TIO isn't a hypervisor, and isn't trying to be a hypervisor. Specifically, TIO
should _never_ have it's own VMCSes (that are visible to the host; the
TDX-Module has it's own VMCSes to do SEAMCALL/SEAMRET), and so there is simply
no reason to move that functionality out of KVM.
With that out of the way, dealing with VMXON/VMXOFF and EFER.SVME is a fairly
simple refcounting game.

KVM nested SVM changes for 7.1 (with one common x86 fix)
- To minimize the probability of corrupting guest state, defer KVM's
non-architectural delivery of exception payloads (e.g. CR2 and DR6) until
consumption of the payload is imminent, and force delivery of the payload
in all paths where userspace saves relevant state.
- Use vcpu->arch.cr2 when updating vmcb12's CR2 on nested #VMEXIT to fix a
bug where L2's CR2 can get corrupted after a save/restore, e.g. if the VM
is migrated while L2 is faulting in memory.
- Fix a class of nSVM bugs where some fields written by the CPU are not
synchronized from vmcb02 to cached vmcb12 after VMRUN, and so are not
up-to-date when saved by KVM_GET_NESTED_STATE.
- Fix a class of bugs where the ordering between KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE and
KVM_SET_{S}REGS could cause vmcb02 to be incorrectly initialized after
save+restore.
- Add a variety of missing nSVM consistency checks.
- Fix several bugs where KVM failed to correctly update VMCB fields on nested
#VMEXIT.
- Fix several bugs where KVM failed to correctly synthesize #UD or #GP for
SVM-related instructions.
- Add support for save+restore of virtualized LBRs (on SVM).
- Refactor various helpers and macros to improve clarity and (hopefully) make
the code easier to maintain.
- Aggressively sanitize fields when copying from vmcb12 to guard against
unintentionally allowing L1 to utilize yet-to-be-defined features.
- Fix several bugs where KVM botched rAX legality checks when emulating SVM
instructions. Note, KVM is still flawed in that KVM doesn't address size
prefix overrides for 64-bit guests; this should probably be documented as a
KVM erratum.
- Fail emulation of VMRUN/VMLOAD/VMSAVE if mapping vmcb12 fails instead of
somewhat arbitrarily synthesizing #GP (i.e. don't bastardize AMD's already-
sketchy behavior of generating #GP if for "unsupported" addresses).
- Cache all used vmcb12 fields to further harden against TOCTOU bugs.

KVM x86 emulated MMIO changes for 7.1
Copy single-chunk MMIO write values into a persistent (per-fragment) field to
fix use-after-free stack bugs due to KVM dereferencing a stack pointer after an
exit to userspace.
Clean up and comment the emulated MMIO code to try to make it easier to
maintain (not necessarily "easy", but "easier").
|
|
KVM x86 misc changes for 7.1
- Advertise support for AVX512 Bit Matrix Multiply (BMM) when it's present in
hardware (no additional emulation/virtualization required).
- Immediately fail the build if a required #define is missing in one of KVM's
headers that is included multiple times.
- Reject SET_GUEST_DEBUG with -EBUSY if there's an already injected exception,
mostly to prevent syzkaller from abusing the uAPI to trigger WARNs, but also
because it can help prevent userspace from unintentionally crashing the VM.
- Exempt SMM from CPUID faulting on Intel, as per the spec.
- Misc hardening and cleanup changes.

As a step towards unifying the interface for retrieving ACPI CPU UID
across architectures, introduce a new function acpi_get_cpu_uid() for
x86. While at it, add input validation to make the code more robust.
Update Xen-related code to use acpi_get_cpu_uid() instead of the legacy
cpu_acpi_id() function, and remove the now-unused cpu_acpi_id() to clean
up redundant code.

In order to be able to do this, we need to change VM_DATA_DEFAULT_FLAGS
and friends and update the architecture-specific definitions also.
We then have to update some KSM logic to handle VMA flags, and introduce
VMA_STACK_FLAGS to define the vma_flags_t equivalent of VM_STACK_FLAGS.
We also introduce two helper functions for use during the time we are
converting legacy flags to vma_flags_t values - vma_flags_to_legacy() and
legacy_to_vma_flags().
This enables us to iteratively make changes to break these changes up into
separate parts.
We use these explicitly here to keep VM_STACK_FLAGS around for certain
users which need to maintain the legacy vm_flags_t values for the time
being.
We are no longer able to rely on the simple VM_xxx being set to zero if
the feature is not enabled, so in the case of VM_DROPPABLE we introduce
VMA_DROPPABLE as the vma_flags_t equivalent, which is set to
EMPTY_VMA_FLAGS if the droppable flag is not available.
While we're here, we make the description of do_brk_flags() into a kdoc
comment, as it almost was already.
We use vma_flags_to_legacy() to not need to update the vm_get_page_prot()
logic as this time.
Note that in create_init_stack_vma() we have to replace the BUILD_BUG_ON()
with a VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() as the tested values are no longer build time
available.
We also update mprotect_fixup() to use VMA flags where possible, though we
have to live with a little duplication between vm_flags_t and vma_flags_t
values for the time being until further conversions are made.
While we're here, update VM_SPECIAL to be defined in terms of
VMA_SPECIAL_FLAGS now we have vma_flags_to_legacy().
Finally, we update the VMA tests to reflect these changes.

Reduce 22 declarations of empty_zero_page to 3 and 23 declarations of
ZERO_PAGE() to 4.
Every architecture defines empty_zero_page that way or another, but for the
most of them it is always a page aligned page in BSS and most definitions
of ZERO_PAGE do virt_to_page(empty_zero_page).
Move Linus vetted x86 definition of empty_zero_page and ZERO_PAGE() to the
core MM and drop these definitions in architectures that do not implement
colored zero page (MIPS and s390).
ZERO_PAGE() remains a macro because turning it to a wrapper for a static
inline causes severe pain in header dependencies.
For the most part the change is mechanical, with these being noteworthy:
* alpha: aliased empty_zero_page with ZERO_PGE that was also used for boot
parameters. Switching to a generic empty_zero_page removes the aliasing
and keeps ZERO_PGE for boot parameters only
* arm64: uses __pa_symbol() in ZERO_PAGE() so that definition of
ZERO_PAGE() is kept intact.
* m68k/parisc/um: allocated empty_zero_page from memblock,
although they do not support zero page coloring and having it in BSS
will work fine.
* sparc64 can have empty_zero_page in BSS rather allocate it, but it
can't use virt_to_page() for BSS. Keep it's definition of ZERO_PAGE()
but instead of allocating it, make mem_map_zero point to
empty_zero_page.
* sh: used empty_zero_page for boot parameters at the very early boot.
Rename the parameters page to boot_params_page and let sh use the generic
empty_zero_page.
* hexagon: had an amusing comment about empty_zero_page
/* A handy thing to have if one has the RAM. Declared in head.S */
that unfortunately had to go :)

To end an ongoing game of whack-a-mole between KVM and syzkaller, WARN on
illegally cancelling a pending nested VM-Enter if and only if userspace
has NOT gained control of the vCPU since the nested run was initiated. As
proven time and time again by syzkaller, userspace can clobber vCPU state
so as to force a VM-Exit that violates KVM's architectural modelling of
VMRUN/VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME.
To detect that userspace has gained control, while minimizing the risk of
operating on stale data, convert nested_run_pending from a pure boolean to
a tri-state of sorts, where '0' is still "not pending", '1' is "pending",
and '2' is "pending but untrusted". Then on KVM_RUN, if the flag is in
the "trusted pending" state, move it to "untrusted pending".
Note, moving the state to "untrusted" even if KVM_RUN is ultimately
rejected is a-ok, because for the "untrusted" state to matter, KVM must
get past kvm_x86_vcpu_pre_run() at some point for the vCPU.

Move nested_run_pending field present in both svm_nested_state and
nested_vmx to the common kvm_vcpu_arch. This allows for common code to
use without plumbing it through per-vendor helpers.
nested_run_pending remains zero-initialized, as the entire kvm_vcpu
struct is, and all further accesses are done through vcpu->arch instead
of svm->nested or vmx->nested.
No functional change intended.

Move the asm/xor.h headers to lib/raid/xor/$(SRCARCH)/xor_arch.h and
include/linux/raid/xor_impl.h to lib/raid/xor/xor_impl.h so that the
xor.ko module implementation is self-contained in lib/raid/.
As this remove the asm-generic mechanism a new kconfig symbol is added to
indicate that a architecture-specific implementations exists, and
xor_arch.h should be included.

Drop the pretty confusing historic XOR_TRY_TEMPLATES and
XOR_SELECT_TEMPLATE, and instead let the architectures provide a
arch_xor_init that calls either xor_register to register candidates or
xor_force to force a specific implementation.

Some future AMD processors have feature named "CPPC Performance
Priority" which lets userspace specify different floor performance
levels for different CPUs. The platform firmware takes these different
floor performance levels into consideration while throttling the CPUs
under power/thermal constraints. The presence of this feature is
indicated by bit 16 of the EDX register for CPUID leaf
0x80000007. More details can be found in AMD Publication titled "AMD64
Collaborative Processor Performance Control (CPPC) Performance
Priority" Revision 1.10.
The number of distinct floor performance levels supported on the
platform will be advertised through the bits 32:39 of the
MSR_AMD_CPPC_CAP1. Bits 0:7 of a new MSR MSR_AMD_CPPC_REQ2
(0xc00102b5) will be used to specify the desired floor performance
level for that CPU.
Add support for the aforementioned MSR_AMD_CPPC_REQ2, and macros for
parsing and updating the relevant bits from MSR_AMD_CPPC_CAP1 and
MSR_AMD_CPPC_REQ2.
On boot if the default value of the MSR_AMD_CPPC_REQ2[7:0] (Floor
Perf) is lower than CPPC.lowest_perf, and thus invalid, initialize it
to MSR_AMD_CPPC_CAP1.nominal_perf which is a sane default value.
Save the boot-time floor_perf during amd_pstate_init_floor_perf(). In
a subsequent patch it will be restored in the suspend, offline, and
exit paths, mirroring how bios_min_perf is handled for
MSR_AMD_CPPC_REQ.

ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS() currently reads %ds, %es, %fs, and %gs using
inline assembly and manual zero-extension. This results in redundant
instructions like `mov %eax,%eax`.
Replace the inline assembly with the `savesegment()` helper, which
automatically zero-extends the value to the full register width,
eliminating unnecessary instructions.
For example, the %ds load sequence changes from:
d03: 8c d8 mov %ds,%eax
d05: 89 c0 mov %eax,%eax
d07: 48 89 84 24 38 01 00 mov %rax,0x138(%rsp)
d0e: 00
to:
ce8: 8c d8 mov %ds,%eax
cea: 48 89 84 24 38 01 00 mov %rax,0x138(%rsp)
cf1: 00
thus eliminating the unnecessary zero-extending `mov %eax,%eax`.
No functional change intended.

This finishes the work on these odd functions that were only implemented
by a handful of architectures.
The 'flushcache' function was only used from the iterator code, and
let's make it do the same thing that the nontemporal version does:
remove the two underscores and add the user address checking.
Yes, yes, the user address checking is also done at iovec import time,
but we have long since walked away from the old double-underscore thing
where we try to avoid address checking overhead at access time, and
these functions shouldn't be so special and old-fashioned.
The arm64 version already did the address check, in fact, so there it's
just a matter of renaming it. For powerpc and x86-64 we now do the
proper user access boilerplate.

Similarly to the previous commit, this renames the somewhat confusingly
named function. But in this case, it was at least less confusing: the
__copy_from_user_inatomic_nocache is indeed copying from user memory,
and it is indeed ok to be used in an atomic context, so it will not warn
about it.
But the previous commit also removed the NTB mis-use of the
__copy_from_user_inatomic_nocache() function, and as a result every
call-site is now _actually_ doing a real user copy. That means that we
can now do the proper user pointer verification too.
End result: add proper address checking, remove the double underscores,
and change the "nocache" to "nontemporal" to more accurately describe
what this x86-only function actually does. It might be worth noting
that only the target is non-temporal: the actual user accesses are
normal memory accesses.
Also worth noting is that non-x86 targets (and on older 32-bit x86 CPU's
before XMM2 in the Pentium III) we end up just falling back on a regular
user copy, so nothing can actually depend on the non-temporal semantics,
but that has always been true.
