The XIVE interrupt controller on POWER9 machines doesn't support byte accesses to any register in the thread management area other than the CPPR (current processor priority register). In particular, when reading the PIPR (pending interrupt priority register), we need to do a 32-bit or 64-bit load.

This fix was intended for 4.13, but didn't get in because both maintainers were on vacation. Paul Mackerras: "It adds mutual exclusion between list_add_rcu and list_del_rcu calls on the kvm->arch.spapr_tce_tables list. Without this, userspace could potentially trigger corruption of the list and cause a host crash or worse."

KVM/PPC update for 4.14 There are various minor fixes and cleanups. The only new feature is that we now export information about storage key support to userspace, so it can advertise it to the guest. I have pulled in Michael Ellerman's topic/ppc-kvm branch from the powerpc tree to get a couple of fixes that touch both KVM PPC code and other PPC code. That's why there is some arch/powerpc stuff in the diffstat that isn't arch/powerpc/kvm.

When migrating guests around we need to know the active priorities to ensure functional virtual interrupt prioritization by the GIC. This commit clarifies the API and how active priorities of interrupts in different groups are represented, and implements the accessor functions for the uaccess register range. We live with a slight layering violation in accessing GICv3 data structures from vgic-mmio-v2.c, because anything else just adds too much complexity for us to deal with (it's not like there's a benefit elsewhere in the code of an intermediate representation as is the case with the VMCR). We accept this, because while doing v3 processing from a file named something-v2.c can look strange at first, this really is specific to dealing with the user space interface for something that looks like a GICv2.

The ARM-ARM has two bits in the ESR/HSR relevant to external aborts. A range of {I,D}FSC values (of which bit 5 is always set) and bit 9 'EA' which provides: > an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED classification of External Aborts. This bit is in addition to the {I,D}FSC range, and has an implementation defined meaning. KVM should always ignore this bit when handling external aborts from a guest. Remove the ESR_ELx_EA definition and rewrite its helper kvm_vcpu_dabt_isextabt() to check the {I,D}FSC range. This merges kvm_vcpu_dabt_isextabt() and the recently added is_abort_sea() helper.

This adds information about storage keys to the struct returned by the KVM_PPC_GET_SMMU_INFO ioctl. The new fields replace a pad field, which was zeroed by previous kernel versions. Thus userspace that knows about the new fields will see zeroes when running on an older kernel, indicating that storage keys are not supported. The size of the structure has not changed. The number of keys is hard-coded for the CPUs supported by HV KVM, which is just POWER7, POWER8 and POWER9.

Commit 2f272463 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Cope with host using large decrementer mode", 2017-05-22) added code to treat the hypervisor decrementer (HDEC) as a 64-bit value on POWER9 rather than 32-bit. Unfortunately, that commit missed one place where HDEC is treated as a 32-bit value. This fixes it. This bug should not have any user-visible consequences that I can think of, beyond an occasional unnecessary exit to the host kernel. If the hypervisor decrementer has gone negative, then the bottom 32 bits will be negative for about 4 seconds after that, so as long as we get out of the guest within those 4 seconds we won't conclude that the HDEC interrupt is spurious.

Al Viro pointed out that while one thread of a process is executing in kvm_vm_ioctl_create_spapr_tce(), another thread could guess the file descriptor returned by anon_inode_getfd() and close() it before the first thread has added it to the kvm->arch.spapr_tce_tables list. That highlights a more general problem: there is no mutual exclusion between writers to the spapr_tce_tables list, leading to the possibility of the list becoming corrupted, which could cause a host kernel crash. To fix the mutual exclusion problem, we add a mutex_lock/unlock pair around the list_del_rce in kvm_spapr_tce_release(). Also, this moves the call to anon_inode_getfd() inside the region protected by the kvm->lock mutex, after we have done the check for a duplicate LIOBN. This means that if another thread does guess the file descriptor and closes it, its call to kvm_spapr_tce_release() will not do any harm because it will have to wait until the first thread has released kvm->lock. With this, there are no failure points in kvm_vm_ioctl_create_spapr_tce() after the call to anon_inode_getfd(). The other things that the second thread could do with the guessed file descriptor are to mmap it or to pass it as a parameter to a KVM_DEV_VFIO_GROUP_SET_SPAPR_TCE ioctl on a KVM device fd. An mmap call won't cause any harm because kvm_spapr_tce_mmap() and kvm_spapr_tce_fault() don't access the spapr_tce_tables list or the kvmppc_spapr_tce_table.list field, and the fields that they do use have been properly initialized by the time of the anon_inode_getfd() call. The KVM_DEV_VFIO_GROUP_SET_SPAPR_TCE ioctl calls kvm_spapr_tce_attach_iommu_group(), which scans the spapr_tce_tables list looking for the kvmppc_spapr_tce_table struct corresponding to the fd given as the parameter. Either it will find the new entry or it won't; if it doesn't, it just returns an error, and if it does, it will function normally. So, in each case there is no harmful effect.

handle_sthyi() always writes to guest memory if the sthyi function code is zero in order to fault in the page that later is written to. However a function code of zero does not necessarily mean that a write to guest memory happens: if the KVM host is running as a second level guest under z/VM 6.2 the sthyi instruction is indicated to be available to the KVM host, however if the instruction is executed it will always return with a return code that indicates "unsupported function code". In such a case handle_sthyi() must not write to guest memory. This means that the prior write access to fault in the guest page may result in invalid guest exceptions, and/or invalid data modification. In order to be architecture compliant simply remove the write_guest() call. Given that the guest assumed a write access anyway, this fix does not qualify for -stable. This just makes sure the sthyi handler is architecture compliant.

Since the host time is a moving target that might see an epoch switch or STP sync checks we need an atomic ioctl and cannot use the exisiting two interfaces.

Nixiaoming pointed out that there is a memory leak in kvm_vm_ioctl_create_spapr_tce() if the call to anon_inode_getfd() fails; the memory allocated for the kvmppc_spapr_tce_table struct is not freed, and nor are the pages allocated for the iommu tables. In addition, we have already incremented the process's count of locked memory pages, and this doesn't get restored on error. David Hildenbrand pointed out that there is a race in that the function checks early on that there is not already an entry in the stt->iommu_tables list with the same LIOBN, but an entry with the same LIOBN could get added between then and when the new entry is added to the list. This fixes all three problems. To simplify things, we now call anon_inode_getfd() before placing the new entry in the list. The check for an existing entry is done while holding the kvm->lock mutex, immediately before adding the new entry to the list. Finally, on failure we now call kvmppc_account_memlimit to decrement the process's count of locked memory pages.

This part is based on a patch by Junkang Fu.

vmx_complete_interrupts() assumes that the exception is always injected, so it can be dropped by kvm_clear_exception_queue(). However, an exception cannot be injected immediately if it is: 1) originally destined to a nested guest; 2) trapped to cause a vmexit; 3) happening right after VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME, i.e. when nested_run_pending is true. This patch applies to exceptions the same algorithm that is used for NMIs, replacing exception.reinject with "exception.injected" (equivalent to nmi_injected). exception.pending now represents an exception that is queued and whose side effects (e.g., update RFLAGS.RF or DR7) have not been applied yet. If exception.pending is true, the exception might result in a nested vmexit instead, too (in which case the side effects must not be applied). exception.injected instead represents an exception that is going to be injected into the guest at the next vmentry.
