commit f041dc80de4abbdd0909d871bf64f3f87d2350ff upstream.

Decouple synchronizing the GHCB SA from freeing/unpinning the SA, so that
the free/unpin path can be reused when freeing a vCPU.

Opportunistically add a WARN to harden KVM against stomping over (and thus
leaking) an already-allocated scratch area.

<title>rust: kasan/kbuild: fix rustc-option when cross-compiling</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c5216c3a3754ba1a25001272d3d39b368b1c35f5</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 4a44b17406cb5a93f90af3df9392b3a45eb336fb upstream.

The Makefile version of rustc-option currently checks whether the option
exists for the host target instead of the target actually being compiled
for. It was done this way in commit 46e24a545cdb ("rust: kasan/kbuild:
fix missing flags on first build") to avoid a circular dependency on
target.json. However, because of this, rustc-option currently does not
function when cross-compiling from x86_64 to aarch64 if
CONFIG_SHADOW_CALL_STACK is enabled. This is because KBUILD_RUSTFLAGS
contains -Zfixed-x18 under this configuration. Since that flag does not
exist on the host target, rustc-option runs into a compilation failure
every time, leading to all flags being rejected as unsupported.

To fix this, update rustc-option to pass a --target parameter so that
the host target is not used. For targets using target.json, use a
built-in target that is as close as possible to the target created with
target.json to avoid the circular dependency on target.json.

One scenario where this causes a boot failure:
* Cross-compiled from x86_64 to aarch64.
* With CONFIG_SHADOW_CALL_STACK=y
* With CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS=y
* With CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE=n
Then the resulting kernel image will fail to boot when it first calls
into Rust code with a crash along the lines of "Unable to handle kernel
paging request at virtual address 0ffffffc08541796". This is because the
call threshold is not specified, so rustc will inline kasan operations,
but the kasan shadow offset is not specified, which leads to the inlined
kasan instructions being incorrect.

Note that the -Zsanitizer=kernel-hwaddress parameter itself does not
lead to a rustc-option failure despite being aarch64-specific because
RUSTFLAGS_KASAN has not yet been added to KBUILD_RUSTFLAGS when
rustc-option is evaluated by the kasan Makefile.

topology_num_nodes_per_package() reports values greater than one on certain

commit a17dc12bfed8868e6a86f3b45c16065a70641acb upstream.

With CONFIG_CALL_DEPTH_TRACKING enabled on an x86 retbleed-affected platform
(eg: Skylake), with retbleed=stuff, registering a dynamic ftrace trampoline
crashes on the first call into the traced function:

  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffff88817ae18880

This small reproducer allows to easily trigger the crash:

  # echo 'p __x64_sys_clock_nanosleep' &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/kprobe_events
  # echo 1 &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/events/kprobes/p___x64_sys_clock_nanosleep_0/enable
  # usleep 1

Monitoring the crash under GDB points to the exact instruction in charge of
incrementing the call depth:

  sarq $5, %gs:__x86_call_depth(%rip)

This instruction matches the one inserted by the ftrace_regs_caller from
ftrace_64.S. This emitted code was likely working fine until the introduction
of

  59bec00ace28 ("x86/percpu: Introduce %rip-relative addressing to PER_CPU_VAR()"):

it has made the call depth accounting addressing relative to $rip, instead of
being based on an absolute address.

As this code exact location depends on where the trampoline lives in memory,
the corresponding displacement needs to be adjusted at runtime to actually
correctly find the per-cpu __x86_call_depth value, otherwise the targeted
address is wrong, leading to the page fault seen above.

Fix the %rip-relative displacement of the copied CALL_DEPTH_ACCOUNT
instruction (from ftrace_regs_caller) by calling text_poke_apply_relocation(),
as it is done for example by the x86 BPF JIT compiler through
x86_call_depth_emit_accounting(). This corrects both CALL_DEPTH_ACCOUNT slots,
in ftrace_caller and ftrace_regs_caller.

Stop explicitly passing the PSC buffer to snp_begin_psc(): it *must*
be the scratch area.  This will allow fixing a variety of bugs without
further complicating the code.

No functional change intended.

commit c8cc238093ca6c99267032f6cfe78f59389f3157 upstream.

Use READ_ONCE() when reading entries/indices from the guest-accessible
Page State Change buffer to defend against TOCTOU bugs.

Don't bother with READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() for cases where KVM is writing
(and not consuming the result!), as the guest isn't supposed to touch the
buffer while it's being processed.  I.e. using READ_ONCE() is all about
protecting against misbehaving guests.

When processing Page State Change (PSC) requests, validate the PSC buffer
against the effective size of the scratch area, which could be less than
the maximum size if the guest provided a pointer that isn't exactly at the
start of the GHCB shared buffer.

<content type='text'>
commit 5867d7e202e09f037cefe77f7af4413c7c0fa088 upstream.

When setting the length of the GHCB scratch area, and the area is in the
GHCB shared buffer, set the effective length of the scratch area to the max
possible size given the start of the guest-provided pointer, and the end of
the shared buffer.

The code was "fine" when first introduced, as KVM doesn't consult the
length of the buffer when emulating MMIO, because the passed in @len always
specifies the *max* size required.  But for PSC requests, the incoming @len
is just the minimum length (to process the header), and KVM needs to know
the full size of the scratch area to avoid buffer overflows (spoiler alert).

Opportunistically rename @len =&gt; @min_len to better reflect its role.

commit 2be54670bdc017004c4a4b8bddb6ff02ebe7dbe2 upstream.

When handling a Page State Change (PSC) #VMGEXIT use the size of the PSC
header as the minimum size for the scratch area.  Per the GHCB spec, PSC
requests do NOT provide the length, i.e. using control-&gt;exit_info_2 for the
length is completely made up behavior.  The existing code "works", e.g.
even though Linux-as-a-guest always passes '0', because KVM doesn't do
anything with the length when the request is in the GHCB's shared buffer.

Use the header as the min length.  Once the header is retrieved, KVM can
use the specified indices to compute the full size of the request.
