Commit 9a400068a158 ("KVM: selftests: x86: Avoid using SSE/AVX
instructions") unconditionally added -march=x86-64-v2 to the CFLAGS used
to build the KVM selftests which does not work on non-x86 architectures:

  cc1: error: unknown value ‘x86-64-v2’ for ‘-march’

Fix this by making the addition of this x86 specific command line flag
conditional on building for x86.

KVM/arm64 fixes for 6.12, take #2

- Fix the guest view of the ID registers, making the relevant fields
  writable from userspace (affecting ID_AA64DFR0_EL1 and ID_AA64PFR1_EL1)

- Correcly expose S1PIE to guests, fixing a regression introduced
  in 6.12-rc1 with the S1POE support

- Fix the recycling of stage-2 shadow MMUs by tracking the context
  (are we allowed to block or not) as well as the recycling state

- Address a couple of issues with the vgic when userspace misconfigures
  the emulation, resulting in various splats. Headaches courtesy
  of our Syzkaller friends

When looking for a "mangled", i.e. dynamic, CPUID entry, terminate the
walk based on the number of array _entries_, not the size in bytes of
the array.  Iterating based on the total size of the array can result in
false passes, e.g. if the random data beyond the array happens to match
a CPUID entry's function and index.

Some distros switched gcc to '-march=x86-64-v3' by default and while it's
hard to find a CPU which doesn't support it today, many KVM selftests fail
with

  ==== Test Assertion Failure ====
    lib/x86_64/processor.c:570: Unhandled exception in guest
    pid=72747 tid=72747 errno=4 - Interrupted system call
    Unhandled exception '0x6' at guest RIP '0x4104f7'

The failure is easy to reproduce elsewhere with

   $ make clean &amp;&amp; CFLAGS='-march=x86-64-v3' make -j &amp;&amp; ./x86_64/kvm_pv_test

The root cause of the problem seems to be that with '-march=x86-64-v3' GCC
uses AVX* instructions (VMOVQ in the example above) and without prior
XSETBV() in the guest this results in #UD. It is certainly possible to add
it there, e.g. the following saves the day as well:

Pull x86 kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "x86:

   - KVM currently invalidates the entirety of the page tables, not just
     those for the memslot being touched, when a memslot is moved or
     deleted.

     This does not traditionally have particularly noticeable overhead,
     but Intel's TDX will require the guest to re-accept private pages
     if they are dropped from the secure EPT, which is a non starter.

     Actually, the only reason why this is not already being done is a
     bug which was never fully investigated and caused VM instability
     with assigned GeForce GPUs, so allow userspace to opt into the new
     behavior.

   - Advertise AVX10.1 to userspace (effectively prep work for the
     "real" AVX10 functionality that is on the horizon)

   - Rework common MSR handling code to suppress errors on userspace
     accesses to unsupported-but-advertised MSRs

     This will allow removing (almost?) all of KVM's exemptions for
     userspace access to MSRs that shouldn't exist based on the vCPU
     model (the actual cleanup is non-trivial future work)

   - Rework KVM's handling of x2APIC ICR, again, because AMD (x2AVIC)
     splits the 64-bit value into the legacy ICR and ICR2 storage,
     whereas Intel (APICv) stores the entire 64-bit value at the ICR
     offset

   - Fix a bug where KVM would fail to exit to userspace if one was
     triggered by a fastpath exit handler

   - Add fastpath handling of HLT VM-Exit to expedite re-entering the
     guest when there's already a pending wake event at the time of the
     exit

   - Fix a WARN caused by RSM entering a nested guest from SMM with
     invalid guest state, by forcing the vCPU out of guest mode prior to
     signalling SHUTDOWN (the SHUTDOWN hits the VM altogether, not the
     nested guest)

   - Overhaul the "unprotect and retry" logic to more precisely identify
     cases where retrying is actually helpful, and to harden all retry
     paths against putting the guest into an infinite retry loop

   - Add support for yielding, e.g. to honor NEED_RESCHED, when zapping
     rmaps in the shadow MMU

   - Refactor pieces of the shadow MMU related to aging SPTEs in
     prepartion for adding multi generation LRU support in KVM

   - Don't stuff the RSB after VM-Exit when RETPOLINE=y and AutoIBRS is
     enabled, i.e. when the CPU has already flushed the RSB

   - Trace the per-CPU host save area as a VMCB pointer to improve
     readability and cleanup the retrieval of the SEV-ES host save area

   - Remove unnecessary accounting of temporary nested VMCB related
     allocations

   - Set FINAL/PAGE in the page fault error code for EPT violations if
     and only if the GVA is valid. If the GVA is NOT valid, there is no
     guest-side page table walk and so stuffing paging related metadata
     is nonsensical

   - Fix a bug where KVM would incorrectly synthesize a nested VM-Exit
     instead of emulating posted interrupt delivery to L2

   - Add a lockdep assertion to detect unsafe accesses of vmcs12
     structures

   - Harden eVMCS loading against an impossible NULL pointer deref
     (really truly should be impossible)

   - Minor SGX fix and a cleanup

   - Misc cleanups

  Generic:

   - Register KVM's cpuhp and syscore callbacks when enabling
     virtualization in hardware, as the sole purpose of said callbacks
     is to disable and re-enable virtualization as needed

   - Enable virtualization when KVM is loaded, not right before the
     first VM is created

     Together with the previous change, this simplifies a lot the logic
     of the callbacks, because their very existence implies
     virtualization is enabled

   - Fix a bug that results in KVM prematurely exiting to userspace for
     coalesced MMIO/PIO in many cases, clean up the related code, and
     add a testcase

   - Fix a bug in kvm_clear_guest() where it would trigger a buffer
     overflow _if_ the gpa+len crosses a page boundary, which thankfully
     is guaranteed to not happen in the current code base. Add WARNs in
     more helpers that read/write guest memory to detect similar bugs

  Selftests:

   - Fix a goof that caused some Hyper-V tests to be skipped when run on
     bare metal, i.e. NOT in a VM

   - Add a regression test for KVM's handling of SHUTDOWN for an SEV-ES
     guest

   - Explicitly include one-off assets in .gitignore. Past Sean was
     completely wrong about not being able to detect missing .gitignore
     entries

   - Verify userspace single-stepping works when KVM happens to handle a
     VM-Exit in its fastpath

   - Misc cleanups"

Pull x86 kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "x86:

   - KVM currently invalidates the entirety of the page tables, not just
     those for the memslot being touched, when a memslot is moved or
     deleted.

     This does not traditionally have particularly noticeable overhead,
     but Intel's TDX will require the guest to re-accept private pages
     if they are dropped from the secure EPT, which is a non starter.

     Actually, the only reason why this is not already being done is a
     bug which was never fully investigated and caused VM instability
     with assigned GeForce GPUs, so allow userspace to opt into the new
     behavior.

   - Advertise AVX10.1 to userspace (effectively prep work for the
     "real" AVX10 functionality that is on the horizon)

   - Rework common MSR handling code to suppress errors on userspace
     accesses to unsupported-but-advertised MSRs

     This will allow removing (almost?) all of KVM's exemptions for
     userspace access to MSRs that shouldn't exist based on the vCPU
     model (the actual cleanup is non-trivial future work)

   - Rework KVM's handling of x2APIC ICR, again, because AMD (x2AVIC)
     splits the 64-bit value into the legacy ICR and ICR2 storage,
     whereas Intel (APICv) stores the entire 64-bit value at the ICR
     offset

   - Fix a bug where KVM would fail to exit to userspace if one was
     triggered by a fastpath exit handler

   - Add fastpath handling of HLT VM-Exit to expedite re-entering the
     guest when there's already a pending wake event at the time of the
     exit

   - Fix a WARN caused by RSM entering a nested guest from SMM with
     invalid guest state, by forcing the vCPU out of guest mode prior to
     signalling SHUTDOWN (the SHUTDOWN hits the VM altogether, not the
     nested guest)

   - Overhaul the "unprotect and retry" logic to more precisely identify
     cases where retrying is actually helpful, and to harden all retry
     paths against putting the guest into an infinite retry loop

   - Add support for yielding, e.g. to honor NEED_RESCHED, when zapping
     rmaps in the shadow MMU

   - Refactor pieces of the shadow MMU related to aging SPTEs in
     prepartion for adding multi generation LRU support in KVM

   - Don't stuff the RSB after VM-Exit when RETPOLINE=y and AutoIBRS is
     enabled, i.e. when the CPU has already flushed the RSB

   - Trace the per-CPU host save area as a VMCB pointer to improve
     readability and cleanup the retrieval of the SEV-ES host save area

   - Remove unnecessary accounting of temporary nested VMCB related
     allocations

   - Set FINAL/PAGE in the page fault error code for EPT violations if
     and only if the GVA is valid. If the GVA is NOT valid, there is no
     guest-side page table walk and so stuffing paging related metadata
     is nonsensical

   - Fix a bug where KVM would incorrectly synthesize a nested VM-Exit
     instead of emulating posted interrupt delivery to L2

   - Add a lockdep assertion to detect unsafe accesses of vmcs12
     structures

   - Harden eVMCS loading against an impossible NULL pointer deref
     (really truly should be impossible)

   - Minor SGX fix and a cleanup

   - Misc cleanups

  Generic:

   - Register KVM's cpuhp and syscore callbacks when enabling
     virtualization in hardware, as the sole purpose of said callbacks
     is to disable and re-enable virtualization as needed

   - Enable virtualization when KVM is loaded, not right before the
     first VM is created

     Together with the previous change, this simplifies a lot the logic
     of the callbacks, because their very existence implies
     virtualization is enabled

   - Fix a bug that results in KVM prematurely exiting to userspace for
     coalesced MMIO/PIO in many cases, clean up the related code, and
     add a testcase

   - Fix a bug in kvm_clear_guest() where it would trigger a buffer
     overflow _if_ the gpa+len crosses a page boundary, which thankfully
     is guaranteed to not happen in the current code base. Add WARNs in
     more helpers that read/write guest memory to detect similar bugs

  Selftests:

   - Fix a goof that caused some Hyper-V tests to be skipped when run on
     bare metal, i.e. NOT in a VM

   - Add a regression test for KVM's handling of SHUTDOWN for an SEV-ES
     guest

   - Explicitly include one-off assets in .gitignore. Past Sean was
     completely wrong about not being able to detect missing .gitignore
     entries

   - Verify userspace single-stepping works when KVM happens to handle a
     VM-Exit in its fastpath

   - Misc cleanups"
