Linus Torvalds 9f16d5e6f2 The biggest change here is eliminating the awful idea that KVM had, of
essentially guessing which pfns are refcounted pages.  The reason to
 do so was that KVM needs to map both non-refcounted pages (for example
 BARs of VFIO devices) and VM_PFNMAP/VM_MIXMEDMAP VMAs that contain
 refcounted pages.  However, the result was security issues in the past,
 and more recently the inability to map VM_IO and VM_PFNMAP memory
 that _is_ backed by struct page but is not refcounted.  In particular
 this broke virtio-gpu blob resources (which directly map host graphics
 buffers into the guest as "vram" for the virtio-gpu device) with the
 amdgpu driver, because amdgpu allocates non-compound higher order pages
 and the tail pages could not be mapped into KVM.
 
 This requires adjusting all uses of struct page in the per-architecture
 code, to always work on the pfn whenever possible.  The large series that
 did this, from David Stevens and Sean Christopherson, also cleaned up
 substantially the set of functions that provided arch code with the
 pfn for a host virtual addresses.  The previous maze of twisty little
 passages, all different, is replaced by five functions (__gfn_to_page,
 __kvm_faultin_pfn, the non-__ versions of these two, and kvm_prefetch_pages)
 saving almost 200 lines of code.
 
 ARM:
 
 * Support for stage-1 permission indirection (FEAT_S1PIE) and
   permission overlays (FEAT_S1POE), including nested virt + the
   emulated page table walker
 
 * Introduce PSCI SYSTEM_OFF2 support to KVM + client driver. This call
   was introduced in PSCIv1.3 as a mechanism to request hibernation,
   similar to the S4 state in ACPI
 
 * Explicitly trap + hide FEAT_MPAM (QoS controls) from KVM guests. As
   part of it, introduce trivial initialization of the host's MPAM
   context so KVM can use the corresponding traps
 
 * PMU support under nested virtualization, honoring the guest
   hypervisor's trap configuration and event filtering when running a
   nested guest
 
 * Fixes to vgic ITS serialization where stale device/interrupt table
   entries are not zeroed when the mapping is invalidated by the VM
 
 * Avoid emulated MMIO completion if userspace has requested synchronous
   external abort injection
 
 * Various fixes and cleanups affecting pKVM, vCPU initialization, and
   selftests
 
 LoongArch:
 
 * Add iocsr and mmio bus simulation in kernel.
 
 * Add in-kernel interrupt controller emulation.
 
 * Add support for virtualization extensions to the eiointc irqchip.
 
 PPC:
 
 * Drop lingering and utterly obsolete references to PPC970 KVM, which was
   removed 10 years ago.
 
 * Fix incorrect documentation references to non-existing ioctls
 
 RISC-V:
 
 * Accelerate KVM RISC-V when running as a guest
 
 * Perf support to collect KVM guest statistics from host side
 
 s390:
 
 * New selftests: more ucontrol selftests and CPU model sanity checks
 
 * Support for the gen17 CPU model
 
 * List registers supported by KVM_GET/SET_ONE_REG in the documentation
 
 x86:
 
 * Cleanup KVM's handling of Accessed and Dirty bits to dedup code, improve
   documentation, harden against unexpected changes.  Even if the hardware
   A/D tracking is disabled, it is possible to use the hardware-defined A/D
   bits to track if a PFN is Accessed and/or Dirty, and that removes a lot
   of special cases.
 
 * Elide TLB flushes when aging secondary PTEs, as has been done in x86's
   primary MMU for over 10 years.
 
 * Recover huge pages in-place in the TDP MMU when dirty page logging is
   toggled off, instead of zapping them and waiting until the page is
   re-accessed to create a huge mapping.  This reduces vCPU jitter.
 
 * Batch TLB flushes when dirty page logging is toggled off.  This reduces
   the time it takes to disable dirty logging by ~3x.
 
 * Remove the shrinker that was (poorly) attempting to reclaim shadow page
   tables in low-memory situations.
 
 * Clean up and optimize KVM's handling of writes to MSR_IA32_APICBASE.
 
 * Advertise CPUIDs for new instructions in Clearwater Forest
 
 * Quirk KVM's misguided behavior of initialized certain feature MSRs to
   their maximum supported feature set, which can result in KVM creating
   invalid vCPU state.  E.g. initializing PERF_CAPABILITIES to a non-zero
   value results in the vCPU having invalid state if userspace hides PDCM
   from the guest, which in turn can lead to save/restore failures.
 
 * Fix KVM's handling of non-canonical checks for vCPUs that support LA57
   to better follow the "architecture", in quotes because the actual
   behavior is poorly documented.  E.g. most MSR writes and descriptor
   table loads ignore CR4.LA57 and operate purely on whether the CPU
   supports LA57.
 
 * Bypass the register cache when querying CPL from kvm_sched_out(), as
   filling the cache from IRQ context is generally unsafe; harden the
   cache accessors to try to prevent similar issues from occuring in the
   future.  The issue that triggered this change was already fixed in 6.12,
   but was still kinda latent.
 
 * Advertise AMD_IBPB_RET to userspace, and fix a related bug where KVM
   over-advertises SPEC_CTRL when trying to support cross-vendor VMs.
 
 * Minor cleanups
 
 * Switch hugepage recovery thread to use vhost_task.  These kthreads can
   consume significant amounts of CPU time on behalf of a VM or in response
   to how the VM behaves (for example how it accesses its memory); therefore
   KVM tried to place the thread in the VM's cgroups and charge the CPU
   time consumed by that work to the VM's container.  However the kthreads
   did not process SIGSTOP/SIGCONT, and therefore cgroups which had KVM
   instances inside could not complete freezing.  Fix this by replacing the
   kthread with a PF_USER_WORKER thread, via the vhost_task abstraction.
   Another 100+ lines removed, with generally better behavior too like
   having these threads properly parented in the process tree.
 
 * Revert a workaround for an old CPU erratum (Nehalem/Westmere) that didn't
   really work; there was really nothing to work around anyway: the broken
   patch was meant to fix nested virtualization, but the PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL
   MSR is virtualized and therefore unaffected by the erratum.
 
 * Fix 6.12 regression where CONFIG_KVM will be built as a module even
   if asked to be builtin, as long as neither KVM_INTEL nor KVM_AMD is 'y'.
 
 x86 selftests:
 
 * x86 selftests can now use AVX.
 
 Documentation:
 
 * Use rST internal links
 
 * Reorganize the introduction to the API document
 
 Generic:
 
 * Protect vcpu->pid accesses outside of vcpu->mutex with a rwlock instead
   of RCU, so that running a vCPU on a different task doesn't encounter long
   due to having to wait for all CPUs become quiescent.  In general both reads
   and writes are rare, but userspace that supports confidential computing is
   introducing the use of "helper" vCPUs that may jump from one host processor
   to another.  Those will be very happy to trigger a synchronize_rcu(), and
   the effect on performance is quite the disaster.
