Improve the KVM_{GET,SET}_NESTED_STATE structs by detailing the format
of VMX nested state data in a struct.
In order to avoid changing the ioctl values of
KVM_{GET,SET}_NESTED_STATE, there is a need to preserve
sizeof(struct kvm_nested_state). This is done by defining the data
struct as "data.vmx[0]". It was the most elegant way I found to
preserve struct size while still keeping struct readable and easy to
maintain. It does have a misfortunate side-effect that now it has to be
accessed as "data.vmx[0]" rather than just "data.vmx".
Because we are already modifying these structs, I also modified the
following:
* Define the "format" field values as macros.
* Rename vmcs_pa to vmcs12_pa for better readability.

The current error code documentation for KVM_GET_ONE_REG and

implement these error codes, or that KVM guarantees which error
code is returned in a particular situation.
Because this is not really the case, this patch waters down the
documentation explicitly to remove such guarantees.
EPERM is marked as arm64-specific, since for now arm64 really is
the only architecture that yields this error code for the
finalization-required case. Keeping this as a distinct error code
is useful however for debugging due to the statefulness of the API
in this instance.

This patch amends the documentation to describe availability in
terms of which capability is required for each finalizable feature
instead.

A complicated DIV_ROUND_UP() expression is currently written out
explicitly in multiple places in order to specify the size of the
bitmap exchanged with userspace to represent the value of the
KVM_REG_ARM64_SVE_VLS pseudo-register.
Userspace currently has no direct way to work this out either: for
documentation purposes, the size is just quoted as 8 u64s.
To make this more intuitive, this patch replaces these with a
single define, which is also exported to userspace as
KVM_ARM64_SVE_VLS_WORDS.
Since the number of words in a bitmap is just the index of the last
word used + 1, this patch expresses the bound that way instead.
This should make it clearer what is being expressed.
For userspace convenience, the minimum and maximum possible vector
lengths relevant to the KVM ABI are exposed to UAPI as
KVM_ARM64_SVE_VQ_MIN, KVM_ARM64_SVE_VQ_MAX. Since the only direct
use for these at present is manipulation of KVM_REG_ARM64_SVE_VLS,
no corresponding _VL_ macros are defined. They could be added
later if a need arises.
Since use of DIV_ROUND_UP() was the only reason for including
<linux/kernel.h> in guest.c, this patch also removes that #include.

The series to add memcg accounting to KVM allocations[1] states:
There are many KVM kernel memory allocations which are tied to the
life of the VM process and should be charged to the VM process's
cgroup.
While it is correct to account KVM kernel allocations to the cgroup of
the process that created the VM, it's technically incorrect to state
that the KVM kernel memory allocations are tied to the life of the VM
process. This is because the VM itself, i.e. struct kvm, is not tied to
the life of the process which created it, rather it is tied to the life
of its associated file descriptor. In other words, kvm_destroy_vm() is
not invoked until fput() decrements its associated file's refcount to
zero. A simple example is to fork() in Qemu and have the child sleep
indefinitely; kvm_destroy_vm() isn't called until Qemu closes its file
descriptor *and* the rogue child is killed.
The allocations are guaranteed to be *accounted* to the process which
created the VM, but only because KVM's per-{VM,vCPU} ioctls reject the
ioctl() with -EIO if kvm->mm != current->mm. I.e. the child can keep
the VM "alive" but can't do anything useful with its reference.
Note that because 'struct kvm' also holds a reference to the mm_struct
of its owner, the above behavior also applies to userspace allocations.
Given that mucking with a VM's file descriptor can lead to subtle and
undesirable behavior, e.g. memcg charges persisting after a VM is shut
down, explicitly document a VM's lifecycle and its impact on the VM's
resources.
Alternatively, KVM could aggressively free resources when the creating
process exits, e.g. via mmu_notifier->release(). However, mmu_notifier
isn't guaranteed to be available, and freeing resources when the creator
exits is likely to be error prone and fragile as KVM would need to
ensure that it only freed resources that are truly out of reach. In
practice, the existing behavior shouldn't be problematic as a properly
configured system will prevent a child process from being moved out of
the appropriate cgroup hierarchy, i.e. prevent hiding the process from
the OOM killer, and will prevent an unprivileged user from being able to
to hold a reference to struct kvm via another method, e.g. debugfs.

Per Paolo[1], instantiating multiple VMs in a single process is legal;
but this conflicts with KVM's API documentation, which states:
The only supported use is one virtual machine per process, and one
vcpu per thread.
However, an earlier section in the documentation states:
Only run VM ioctls from the same process (address space) that was used
to create the VM.
and:
Only run vcpu ioctls from the same thread that was used to create the
vcpu.
This suggests that the conflicting documentation is simply an incorrect
ordering of of words, i.e. what's really meant is that a virtual machine
can't be shared across multiple processes and a vCPU can't be shared
across multiple threads.
Tweak the blurb on issuing ioctls to use a more assertive tone, and
rewrite the "supported use" sentence to reference said blurb instead of
poorly restating it in different terms.
Opportunistically add missing punctuation.

With every new Hyper-V Enlightenment we implement we're forced to add a
KVM_CAP_HYPERV_* capability. While this approach works it is fairly
inconvenient: the majority of the enlightenments we do have corresponding
CPUID feature bit(s) and userspace has to know this anyways to be able to
expose the feature to the guest.
Add KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_HV_CPUID ioctl (backed by KVM_CAP_HYPERV_CPUID, "one
cap to rule them all!") returning all Hyper-V CPUID feature leaves.
Using the existing KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID doesn't seem to be possible:
Hyper-V CPUID feature leaves intersect with KVM's (e.g. 0x40000000,
0x40000001) and we would probably confuse userspace in case we decide to
return these twice.
KVM_CAP_HYPERV_CPUID's number is interim: we're intended to drop

There are two problems with KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG. First, and less important,
it can take kvm->mmu_lock for an extended period of time. Second, its user
can actually see many false positives in some cases. The latter is due
to a benign race like this:
1. KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG returns a set of dirty pages and write protects
them.
2. The guest modifies the pages, causing them to be marked ditry.
3. Userspace actually copies the pages.
4. KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG returns those pages as dirty again, even though
they were not written to since (3).
This is especially a problem for large guests, where the time between
(1) and (3) can be substantial. This patch introduces a new
capability which, when enabled, makes KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG not
write-protect the pages it returns. Instead, userspace has to
explicitly clear the dirty log bits just before using the content
of the page. The new KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG ioctl can also operate on a
64-page granularity rather than requiring to sync a full memslot;
this way, the mmu_lock is taken for small amounts of time, and
only a small amount of time will pass between write protection
of pages and the sending of their content.

enabled, the L1 hypervisor can now intercept #PF before CR2 is
modified. Under VMX, the L1 hypervisor can now intercept #DB before
DR6 and DR7 are modified.
When userspace has enabled KVM_CAP_EXCEPTION_PAYLOAD, it should
generally provide an appropriate payload when injecting a #PF or #DB
exception via KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS. However, to support restoring old
checkpoints, this payload is not required.
Note that bit 16 of the "new DR6 bits" is set to indicate that a debug
exception (#DB) or a breakpoint exception (#BP) occurred inside an RTM
region while advanced debugging of RTM transactional regions was
enabled. This is the reverse of DR6.RTM, which is cleared in this
scenario.
This capability also enables exception.pending in struct
kvm_vcpu_events, which allows userspace to distinguish between pending
and injected exceptions.

The per-VM capability KVM_CAP_EXCEPTION_PAYLOAD (to be introduced in a
later commit) adds the following fields to struct kvm_vcpu_events:
exception_has_payload, exception_payload, and exception.pending.
With this capability set, all of the details of vcpu->arch.exception,
including the payload for a pending exception, are reported to
userspace in response to KVM_GET_VCPU_EVENTS.
With this capability clear, the original ABI is preserved, and the
exception.injected field is set for either pending or injected
exceptions.
When userspace calls KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS with
KVM_CAP_EXCEPTION_PAYLOAD clear, exception.injected is no longer
translated to exception.pending. KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS can now only
establish a pending exception when KVM_CAP_EXCEPTION_PAYLOAD is set.

Coalesced pio is based on coalesced mmio and can be used for some port
like rtc port, pci-host config port and so on.
Specially in case of rtc as coalesced pio, some versions of windows guest
access rtc frequently because of rtc as system tick. guest access rtc like
this: write register index to 0x70, then write or read data from 0x71.
writing 0x70 port is just as index and do nothing else. So we can use
coalesced pio to handle this scene to reduce VM-EXIT time.
When starting and closing a virtual machine, it will access pci-host config
port frequently. So setting these port as coalesced pio can reduce startup
and shutdown time.

Using hypercall for sending IPIs is faster because this allows to specify
any number of vCPUs (even > 64 with sparse CPU set), the whole procedure
will take only one VMEXIT.
Current Hyper-V TLFS (v5.0b) claims that HvCallSendSyntheticClusterIpi
hypercall can't be 'fast' (passing parameters through registers) but
apparently this is not true, Windows always uses it as 'fast' so we need

This adds a KVM_PPC_NO_HASH flag to the flags field of the
kvm_ppc_smmu_info struct, and arranges for it to be set when
running as a nested hypervisor, as an unambiguous indication
to userspace that HPT guests are not supported. Reporting the
KVM_CAP_PPC_MMU_HASH_V3 capability as false could be taken as
indicating only that the new HPT features in ISA V3.0 are not
supported, leaving it ambiguous whether pre-V3.0 HPT features
are supported.

With this, userspace can enable a KVM-HV guest to run nested guests
under it.
The administrator can control whether any nested guests can be run;
setting the "nested" module parameter to false prevents any guests
becoming nested hypervisors (that is, any attempt to enable the nested
capability on a guest will fail). Guests which are already nested
hypervisors will continue to be so.

This adds a one-reg register identifier which can be used to read and
set the virtual PTCR for the guest. This register identifies the
address and size of the virtual partition table for the guest, which
contains information about the nested guests under this guest.
Migrating this value is the only extra requirement for migrating a
guest which has nested guests (assuming of course that the destination
host supports nested virtualization in the kvm-hv module).

Allow specifying the physical address size limit for a new
VM via the kvm_type argument for the KVM_CREATE_VM ioctl. This
allows us to finalise the stage2 page table as early as possible
and hence perform the right checks on the memory slots
without complication. The size is encoded as Log2(PA_Size) in
bits[7:0] of the type field. For backward compatibility the
value 0 is reserved and implies 40bits. Also, lift the limit
of the IPA to host limit and allow lower IPA sizes (e.g, 32).
The userspace could check the extension KVM_CAP_ARM_VM_IPA_SIZE
for the availability of this feature. The cap check returns the
maximum limit for the physical address shift supported by the host.

Add KVM_CAP_MSR_PLATFORM_INFO so that userspace can disable guest access
to reads of MSR_PLATFORM_INFO.
Disabling access to reads of this MSR gives userspace the control to "expose"
this platform-dependent information to guests in a clear way. As it exists
today, guests that read this MSR would get unpopulated information if userspace
hadn't already set it (and prior to this patch series, only the CPUID faulting
information could have been populated). This existing interface could be
confusing if guests don't handle the potential for incorrect/incomplete
information gracefully (e.g. zero reported for base frequency).

We currently do not notify all gmaps when using gmap_pmdp_xchg(), due
to locking constraints. This makes ucontrol VMs, which is the only VM
type that creates multiple gmaps, incompatible with huge pages. Also
we would need to hold the guest_table_lock of all gmaps that have this
vmaddr maped to synchronize access to the pmd.
ucontrol VMs are rather exotic and creating a new locking concept is
no easy task. Hence we return EINVAL when trying to active
KVM_CAP_S390_HPAGE_1M and report it as being not available when
checking for it.

For nested virtualization L0 KVM is managing a bit of state for L2 guests,
this state can not be captured through the currently available IOCTLs. In
fact the state captured through all of these IOCTLs is usually a mix of L1
and L2 state. It is also dependent on whether the L2 guest was running at
the moment when the process was interrupted to save its state.
With this capability, there are two new vcpu ioctls: KVM_GET_NESTED_STATE
and KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE. These can be used for saving and restoring a VM
that is in VMX operation.

General KVM huge page support on s390 has to be enabled via the
kvm.hpage module parameter. Either nested or hpage can be enabled, as
we currently do not support vSIE for huge backed guests. Once the vSIE
support is added we will either drop the parameter or enable it as
default.
For a guest the feature has to be enabled through the new
KVM_CAP_S390_HPAGE_1M capability and the hpage module
parameter. Enabling it means that cmm can't be enabled for the vm and
disables pfmf and storage key interpretation.
This is due to the fact that in some cases, in upcoming patches, we
have to split huge pages in the guest mapping to be able to set more
granular memory protection on 4k pages. These split pages have fake
page tables that are not visible to the Linux memory management which
subsequently will not manage its PGSTEs, while the SIE will. Disabling
these features lets us manage PGSTE data in a consistent matter and
solve that problem.
