commit 112b0b8f8f6e18d4695d21457961c0e1b322a1d7 upstream.

In our VGIC implementation we limit the number of SPIs to a number
that the userland application told us. Accordingly we limit the
allocation of memory for virtual IRQs to that number.
However in our MMIO dispatcher we didn't check if we ever access an
IRQ beyond that limit, leading to out-of-bound accesses.
Add a test against the number of allocated SPIs in check_region().
Adjust the VGIC_ADDR_TO_INT macro to avoid an actual division, which
is not implemented on ARM(32).

[maz: cleaned-up original patch]

commit 0099b7701f5296a758d9e6b945ec96f96847cc2f upstream.

If the vgic hasn't been created and initialized, we shouldn't attempt to
look at its data structures or flush/sync anything to the GIC hardware.

This fixes an issue reported by Alexander Graf when using a userspace
irqchip.

commit 6fe407f2d18a4f94216263f91cb7d1f08fa5887c upstream.

If userspace creates a PMU for the VCPU, but doesn't create an in-kernel
irqchip, then we end up in a nasty path where we try to take an
uninitialized spinlock, which can lead to all sorts of breakages.

Luckily, QEMU always creates the VGIC before the PMU, so we can
establish this as ABI and check for the VGIC in the PMU init stage.
This can be relaxed at a later time if we want to support PMU with a
userspace irqchip.

Similarily to f005bd7e3b84 ("clocksource/arm_arch_timer: Force
per-CPU interrupt to be level-triggered"), make sure we can
survive an interrupt that has been misconfigured as edge-triggered
by forcing it to be level-triggered (active low is assumed, but
the GIC doesn't really care whether this is high or low).

Hopefully, the amount of shouting in the kernel log will convince
the user to do something about their firmware.

When a guest wants to map a device-ID/event-ID combination that is
already mapped, we may end up in a situation where an LPI is never
"put", thus never being freed.
Since the GICv3 spec says that mapping an already mapped LPI is
UNPREDICTABLE, lets just bail out early in this situation to avoid
any potential leaks.

When userspace provides the doorbell address for an MSI to be
injected into the guest, we find a KVM device which feels responsible.
Lets check that this device is really an emulated ITS before we make
real use of the container_of-ed pointer.

<title>KVM: arm64: ITS: move ITS registration into first VCPU run</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently we register an ITS device upon userland issuing the CTLR_INIT
ioctl to mark initialization of the ITS as done.
This deviates from the initialization sequence of the existing GIC
devices and does not play well with the way QEMU handles things.
To be more in line with what we are used to, register the ITS(es) just
before the first VCPU is about to run, so in the map_resources() call.
This involves iterating through the list of KVM devices and map each
ITS that we find.

<id>d9ae449b3d14d7c55f69af329972f175d180e68d</id>
<content type='text'>
There are two problems with the current implementation of the MMIO
handlers for the propbaser and pendbaser:

First, the write to the value itself is not guaranteed to be an atomic
64-bit write so two concurrent writes to the structure field could be
intermixed.

Second, because we do a read-modify-update operation without any
synchronization, if we have two 32-bit accesses to separate parts of the
register, we can loose one of them.

By using the atomic cmpxchg64 we should cover both issues above.

<title>KVM: Protect device ops-&gt;create and list_add with kvm-&gt;lock</title>

KVM devices were manipulating list data structures without any form of
synchronization, and some implementations of the create operations also
suffered from a lack of synchronization.

Now when we've split the xics create operation into create and init, we
can hold the kvm-&gt;lock mutex while calling the create operation and when
manipulating the devices list.

The error path in the generic code gets slightly ugly because we have to
take the mutex again and delete the device from the list, but holding
the mutex during anon_inode_getfd or releasing/locking the mutex in the
common non-error path seemed wrong.
