<content type='text'>
The usage of the BIT() macro in inline asm code was introduced in 6.3 by
the commit in the Fixes tag. However, this macro uses "1UL" for integer
constant suffixes in its shift operation, while gas before 2.28 does not
support the "L" suffix after a number, and gas before 2.27 does not
support the "U" suffix, resulting in build errors such as the following
with such versions:

  ./arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess_64.h:124: Error: found 'L', expected: ')'
  ./arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess_64.h:124: Error: junk at end of line,
  first unrecognized character is `L'

However, the currently minimal binutils version the kernel supports is
2.25.

There's a single use of this macro here, revert to (1 &lt;&lt; 0) that works
with such older binutils.

As an additional info, the binutils PRs which add support for those
suffixes are:

Pull x86 fixes from Borislav Petkov:
 "There's a little bit more 'movement' in there for my taste but it
  needs to happen and should make the code better after it.

   - Check cmdline_find_option()'s return value before further
     processing

   - Clear temporary storage in the resctrl code to prevent access to an
     unexistent MSR

   - Add a simple throttling mechanism to protect the hypervisor from
     potentially malicious SEV guests issuing requests in rapid
     succession.

     In order to not jeopardize the sanity of everyone involved in
     maintaining this code, the request issuing side has received a
     cleanup, split in more or less trivial, small and digestible
     pieces. Otherwise, the code was threatening to become an
     unmaintainable mess.

     Therefore, that cleanup is marked indirectly also for stable so
     that there's no differences between the upstream code and the
     stable variant when it comes down to backporting more there"

<title>KVM: SVM: Fix a benign off-by-one bug in AVIC physical table mask</title>

<content type='text'>
Define the "physical table max index mask" as bits 8:0, not 9:0.  x2AVIC
currently supports a max of 512 entries, i.e. the max index is 511, and
the inputs to GENMASK_ULL() are inclusive.  The bug is benign as bit 9 is
reserved and never set by KVM, i.e. KVM is just clearing bits that are
guaranteed to be zero.

Note, as of this writing, APM "Rev. 3.39-October 2022" incorrectly states
that bits 11:8 are reserved in Table B-1. VMCB Layout, Control Area.  I.e.
that table wasn't updated when x2AVIC support was added.

Opportunistically fix the comment for the max AVIC ID to align with the
code, and clean up comment formatting too.

<content type='text'>
A potentially malicious SEV guest can constantly hammer the hypervisor
using this driver to send down requests and thus prevent or at least
considerably hinder other guests from issuing requests to the secure
processor which is a shared platform resource.

Therefore, the host is permitted and encouraged to throttle such guest
requests.

Add the capability to handle the case when the hypervisor throttles
excessive numbers of requests issued by the guest. Otherwise, the VM
platform communication key will be disabled, preventing the guest from
attesting itself.

Realistically speaking, a well-behaved guest should not even care about
throttling. During its lifetime, it would end up issuing a handful of
requests which the hardware can easily handle.

This is more to address the case of a malicious guest. Such guest should
get throttled and if its VMPCK gets disabled, then that's its own
wrongdoing and perhaps that guest even deserves it.

To the implementation: the hypervisor signals with SNP_GUEST_REQ_ERR_BUSY
that the guest requests should be throttled. That error code is returned
in the upper 32-bit half of exitinfo2 and this is part of the GHCB spec
v2.

So the guest is given a throttling period of 1 minute in which it
retries the request every 2 seconds. This is a good default but if it
turns out to not pan out in practice, it can be tweaked later.

For safety, since the encryption algorithm in GHCBv2 is AES_GCM, control
must remain in the kernel to complete the request with the current
sequence number. Returning without finishing the request allows the
guest to make another request but with different message contents. This
is IV reuse, and breaks cryptographic protections.

    - The stable tags are supposed to denote that a cleanup should go
      upfront before backporting this so that any future fixes to this

<title>x86/resctl: fix scheduler confusion with 'current'</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7fef099702527c3b2c5234a2ea6a24411485a13a</id>
<content type='text'>
The implementation of 'current' on x86 is very intentionally special: it
is a very common thing to look up, and it uses 'this_cpu_read_stable()'
to get the current thread pointer efficiently from per-cpu storage.

And the keyword in there is 'stable': the current thread pointer never
changes as far as a single thread is concerned.  Even if when a thread
is preempted, or moved to another CPU, or even across an explicit call
'schedule()' that thread will still have the same value for 'current'.

It is, after all, the kernel base pointer to thread-local storage.
That's why it's stable to begin with, but it's also why it's important
enough that we have that special 'this_cpu_read_stable()' access for it.

So this is all done very intentionally to allow the compiler to treat
'current' as a value that never visibly changes, so that the compiler
can do CSE and combine multiple different 'current' accesses into one.

However, there is obviously one very special situation when the
currently running thread does actually change: inside the scheduler
itself.

So the scheduler code paths are special, and do not have a 'current'
thread at all.  Instead there are _two_ threads: the previous and the
next thread - typically called 'prev' and 'next' (or prev_p/next_p)
internally.

So this is all actually quite straightforward and simple, and not all
that complicated.

Except for when you then have special code that is run in scheduler
context, that code then has to be aware that 'current' isn't really a
valid thing.  Did you mean 'prev'? Did you mean 'next'?

In fact, even if then look at the code, and you use 'current' after the
new value has been assigned to the percpu variable, we have explicitly
told the compiler that 'current' is magical and always stable.  So the
compiler is quite free to use an older (or newer) value of 'current',
and the actual assignment to the percpu storage is not relevant even if
it might look that way.

Which is exactly what happened in the resctl code, that blithely used
'current' in '__resctrl_sched_in()' when it really wanted the new
process state (as implied by the name: we're scheduling 'into' that new
resctl state).  And clang would end up just using the old thread pointer
value at least in some configurations.

This could have happened with gcc too, and purely depends on random
compiler details.  Clang just seems to have been more aggressive about
moving the read of the per-cpu current_task pointer around.

The fix is trivial: just make the resctl code adhere to the scheduler
rules of using the prev/next thread pointer explicitly, instead of using
'current' in a situation where it just wasn't valid.

That same code is then also used outside of the scheduler context (when
a thread resctl state is explicitly changed), and then we will just pass
in 'current' as that pointer, of course.  There is no ambiguity in that
case.

The fix may be trivial, but noticing and figuring out what went wrong
was not.  The credit for that goes to Stephane Eranian.
