Commit 262b003d059c6671601a19057e9fe1a5e7f23722 upstream.

When registering a memslot, we check the size and location of that
memslot against the IPA size to ensure that we can provide guest
access to the whole of the memory.

Unfortunately, this check rejects memslot that end-up at the exact
limit of the addressing capability for a given IPA size. For example,
it refuses the creation of a 2GB memslot at 0x8000000 with a 32bit
IPA space.

Fix it by relaxing the check to accept a memslot reaching the
limit of the IPA space.

kvm_unmap_hva_range()") and b5331379bc62 ("KVM: arm64: Only reschedule
if MMU_NOTIFIER_RANGE_BLOCKABLE is not set") fix a "sleeping from invalid
context" BUG caused by unmap_stage2_range() attempting to reschedule when
called on the OOM path.

Unfortunately, these patches rely on the MMU notifier callback being
passed knowledge about whether or not blocking is permitted, which was
introduced in 4.19. Rather than backport this considerable amount of
infrastructure just for KVM on arm, instead just remove the conditional
reschedule.

[ Upstream commit 2113c5f62b7423e4a72b890bd479704aa85c81ba ]

If after an MMIO exit to userspace a VCPU is immediately run with an
immediate_exit request, such as when a signal is delivered or an MMIO
emulation completion is needed, then the VCPU completes the MMIO
emulation and immediately returns to userspace. As the exit_reason
does not get changed from KVM_EXIT_MMIO in these cases we have to
be careful not to complete the MMIO emulation again, when the VCPU is
eventually run again, because the emulation does an instruction skip
(and doing too many skips would be a waste of guest code :-) We need
to use additional VCPU state to track if the emulation is complete.
As luck would have it, we already have 'mmio_needed', which even
appears to be used in this way by other architectures already.

[ Upstream commit 811328fc3222f7b55846de0cd0404339e2e1e6d7 ]

A failed KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT should not set the vcpu target,
as the vcpu target is used by kvm_vcpu_initialized() to
determine if other vcpu ioctls may proceed. We need to set
the target before calling kvm_reset_vcpu(), but if that call
fails, we should then unset it and clear the feature bitmap
while we're at it.

commit 83091db981e105d97562d3ed3ffe676e21927e3a upstream.

When the kernel was handling a guest MMIO read access internally, we
need to copy the emulation result into the run-&gt;mmio structure in order
for the kvm_handle_mmio_return() function to pick it up and inject the
	result back into the guest.

Currently the only user of kvm_io_bus for ARM is the VGIC, which did
this copying itself, so this was not causing issues so far.

But with the upcoming new vgic implementation we need this done
properly.

Update the kvm_handle_mmio_return description and cleanup the code to
only perform a single copying when needed.

Code and commit message inspired by Andre Przywara.

commit 1d6a821277aaa0cdd666278aaff93298df313d41 upstream.

On an MMIO access, we always copy the on-stack buffer info
the shared "run" structure, even if this is a read access.
This ends up leaking up to 8 bytes of uninitialized memory
into userspace, depending on the size of the access.

An obvious fix for this one is to only perform the copy if
this is an actual write.

[ Upstream commit 0d640732dbebed0f10f18526de21652931f0b2f2 ]

When we emulate an MMIO instruction, we advance the CPU state within
decode_hsr(), before emulating the instruction effects.

Having this logic in decode_hsr() is opaque, and advancing the state
before emulation is problematic. It gets in the way of applying
consistent single-step logic, and it prevents us from being able to fail
an MMIO instruction with a synchronous exception.

Clean this up by only advancing the CPU state *after* the effects of the
instruction are emulated.

commit 86658b819cd0a9aa584cd84453ed268a6f013770 upstream.

Contention on updating a PMD entry by a large number of vcpus can lead
to duplicate work when handling stage 2 page faults. As the page table
update follows the break-before-make requirement of the architecture,
it can lead to repeated refaults due to clearing the entry and
flushing the tlbs.

This problem is more likely when -

* there are large number of vcpus
* the mapping is large block mapping

such as when using PMD hugepages (512MB) with 64k pages.

Fix this by skipping the page table update if there is no change in
the entry being updated.

commit 976d34e2dab10ece5ea8fe7090b7692913f89084 upstream.

When there is contention on faulting in a particular page table entry
at stage 2, the break-before-make requirement of the architecture can
lead to additional refaulting due to TLB invalidation.

Avoid this by skipping a page table update if the new value of the PTE
matches the previous value.

commit 976d34e2dab10ece5ea8fe7090b7692913f89084 upstream.

When there is contention on faulting in a particular page table entry
at stage 2, the break-before-make requirement of the architecture can
lead to additional refaulting due to TLB invalidation.

Avoid this by skipping a page table update if the new value of the PTE
matches the previous value.

commit 20e8175d246e9f9deb377f2784b3e7dfb2ad3e86 upstream.

KVM doesn't follow the SMCCC when it comes to unimplemented calls,
and inject an UNDEF instead of returning an error. Since firmware
calls are now used for security mitigation, they are becoming more
common, and the undef is counter productive.

Instead, let's follow the SMCCC which states that -1 must be returned
to the caller when getting an unknown function number.
