ID_AA64DFR0_EL1.PMUVer is an unsigned field, so this skips
initialization of host_data_ptr(nr_event_counters) for PMUv3 for Armv8.8
onwards as they appear as negative values.
Fix it by reading it as unsigned. Now ID_AA64DFR0_EL1_PMUVer_IMP_DEF
needs to be special cased, so use pmuv3_implemented() which already does
it.

Commit efad60e460 ("KVM: arm64: Initialize PMSCR_EL1 when in VHE")
does not perform sufficient check before initializing PMSCR_EL1 to 0
when running in VHE mode. On some platforms, this causes the system to
hang during boot, as EL3 has not delegated access to the Profiling
Buffer to the Non-secure world, nor does it reinject an UNDEF on sysreg
trap.
To avoid this issue, restrict the PMSCR_EL1 initialization to CPUs that
support Statistical Profiling Extension (FEAT_SPE) and have the
Profiling Buffer accessible in Non-secure EL1. This is determined via a
new helper `cpu_has_spe()` which checks both PMSVer and PMBIDR_EL1.P.
This ensures the initialization only affects CPUs where SPE is
implemented and usable, preventing boot failures on platforms where SPE
is not properly configured.

KVM/arm64 updates for 6.18
- Add support for FF-A 1.2 as the secure memory conduit for pKVM,
allowing more registers to be used as part of the message payload.
- Change the way pKVM allocates its VM handles, making sure that the
privileged hypervisor is never tricked into using uninitialised
data.
- Speed up MMIO range registration by avoiding unnecessary RCU
synchronisation, which results in VMs starting much quicker.
- Add the dump of the instruction stream when panic-ing in the EL2
payload, just like the rest of the kernel has always done. This will
hopefully help debugging non-VHE setups.
- Add 52bit PA support to the stage-1 page-table walker, and make use
of it to populate the fault level reported to the guest on failing
to translate a stage-1 walk.
- Add NV support to the GICv3-on-GICv5 emulation code, ensuring
feature parity for guests, irrespective of the host platform.
- Fix some really ugly architecture problems when dealing with debug
in a nested VM. This has some bad performance impacts, but is at
least correct.
- Add enough infrastructure to be able to disable EL2 features and
give effective values to the EL2 control registers. This then allows
a bunch of features to be turned off, which helps cross-host
migration.
- Large rework of the selftest infrastructure to allow most tests to
transparently run at EL2. This is the first step towards enabling
NV testing.
- Various fixes and improvements all over the map, including one BE
fix, just in time for the removal of the feature.
In case you haven't realized it yet, the architecture is _slightly_
broken in the context of nested virt. Here we have another example of
FEAT_NV2 redirecting a sysreg (MDSCR_EL1) to memory that actually
affects execution at vEL2.
Fortunately, MDCR_EL2.TDA provides the necessary traps to hide this
mess at the expense of unnecessarily trapping the breakpoint/watchpoint
registers. Yes, FEAT_FGT gives us a precise trap but let's just opt for
obvious correctness to start.

When Linux is booted at EL1, host_data_ptr() resolves to the nVHE
hypervisor's copy of host data. When hyp mode isn't available for
KVM the nVHE percpu bases remain uninitialized. Consequently, any usage
of host_data_ptr() will result in a NULL dereference which has been
observed in KVM's trace filtering helpers.
Add an early return to the trace filtering helpers if KVM isn't
initialized, avoiding the NULL dereference. Take this opportunity
to move the TRBE-skipping checks to a common helper.

Prior to commit 75a5fbaf66 ("KVM: arm64: Compute MDCR_EL2 at
vcpu_load()"), host MDCR_EL2 was saved correctly:
kvm_arch_vcpu_load()
kvm_vcpu_load_debug() /* Doesn't touch hardware MDCR_EL2. */
kvm_vcpu_load_vhe()
__activate_traps_common()
/* Saves host MDCR_EL2. */
*host_data_ptr(host_debug_state.mdcr_el2) = read_sysreg(mdcr_el2)
/* Writes VCPU MDCR_EL2. */
write_sysreg(vcpu->arch.mdcr_el2, mdcr_el2)
The MDCR_EL2 value saved previously was restored in
kvm_arch_vcpu_put() -> kvm_vcpu_put_vhe().
After the aforementioned commit, host MDCR_EL2 is never saved:
kvm_arch_vcpu_load()
kvm_vcpu_load_debug() /* Writes VCPU MDCR_EL2 */
kvm_vcpu_load_vhe()
__activate_traps_common()
/* Saves **VCPU** MDCR_EL2. */
*host_data_ptr(host_debug_state.mdcr_el2) = read_sysreg(mdcr_el2)
/* Writes VCPU MDCR_EL2 a second time. */
write_sysreg(vcpu->arch.mdcr_el2, mdcr_el2)
kvm_arch_vcpu_put() -> kvm_vcpu_put_vhe() then restores the VCPU MDCR_EL2
value. Also VCPU's MDCR_EL2 value gets written to hardware twice now.
Fix this by saving the host MDCR_EL2 in kvm_arch_vcpu_load() before it gets
overwritten by the VCPU's MDCR_EL2 value, and restore it on VCPU put.

According to the pseudocode for StatisticalProfilingEnabled() from Arm
DDI0487L.b, PMSCR_EL1 controls profiling at EL1 and EL0:
- PMSCR_EL1.E1SPE controls profiling at EL1.
- PMSCR_EL1.E0SPE controls profiling at EL0 if HCR_EL2.TGE=0.
These two fields reset to UNKNOWN values.
When KVM runs in VHE mode and profiling is enabled in the host, before
entering a guest, KVM does not touch any of the SPE registers, leaving the
buffer enabled, and it clears HCR_EL2.TGE. As a result, depending on the
reset value for the E1SPE and E0SPE fields, KVM might unintentionally
profile a guest. Make the behaviour consistent and predictable by clearing
PMSCR_EL1 when KVM initialises the host debug configuration.
Note that this is not a problem for nVHE, because KVM clears
PMSCR_EL1.{E1SPE,E0SPE} before entering the guest.

While BRBE can record branches within guests, the host recording
branches in guests is not supported by perf (though events are).
Support for BRBE in guests will supported by providing direct access
to BRBE within the guests. That is how x86 LBR works for guests.
Therefore, BRBE needs to be disabled on guest entry and restored on
exit.
For nVHE, this requires explicit handling for guests. Before
entering a guest, save the BRBE state and disable the it. When
returning to the host, restore the state.
For VHE, it is not necessary. We initialize
BRBCR_EL1.{E1BRE,E0BRE}=={0,0} at boot time, and HCR_EL2.TGE==1 while
running in the host. We configure BRBCR_EL2.{E2BRE,E0HBRE} to enable
branch recording in the host. When entering the guest, we set
HCR_EL2.TGE==0 which means BRBCR_EL1 is used instead of BRBCR_EL2.
Consequently for VHE, BRBE recording is disabled at EL1 and EL0 when
running a guest.
Should recording in guests (by the host) ever be desired, the perf ABI
will need to be extended to distinguish guest addresses (struct
perf_branch_entry.priv) for starters. BRBE records would also need to be
invalidated on guest entry/exit as guest/host EL1 and EL0 records can't
be distinguished.

Currently in nVHE, KVM has to check if TRBE is enabled on every guest
switch even if it was never used. Because it's a debug feature and is
more likely to not be used than used, give KVM the TRBE buffer status to
allow a much simpler and faster do-nothing path in the hyp.
Protected mode now disables trace regardless of TRBE (because
trfcr_while_in_guest is always 0), which was not previously done.
However, it continues to flush whenever the buffer is enabled
regardless of the filter status. This avoids the hypothetical case of a
host that had disabled the filter but not flushed which would arise if
only doing the flush when the filter was enabled.

KVM takes over the guest's software step state machine if the VMM is
debugging the guest, but it does the save/restore fiddling for every
guest entry.
Note that the only constraint on host usage of software step is that the
guest's configuration remains visible to userspace via the ONE_REG
ioctls. So, we can cut down on the amount of fiddling by doing this at
load/put instead.

Use the debug owner to determine if the debug regs are in use instead of
keeping around the DEBUG_DIRTY flag. Debug registers are now
saved/restored after the first trap, regardless of whether it was a read
or a write. This also shifts the point at which KVM becomes lazy to
vcpu_put() rather than the next exception taken from the guest.

[maz: fixed compilation after trace-ectomy]
Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier <maz@kernel.org>
KVM caches MDCR_EL2 on a per-CPU basis in order to preserve the
configuration of MDCR_EL2.HPMN while running a guest. This is a bit
gross, since we're relying on some baked configuration rather than the
hardware definition of implemented counters.
Discover the number of implemented counters by reading PMCR_EL0.N
instead. This works because:
- In VHE the kernel runs at EL2, and N always returns the number of
counters implemented in hardware
- In {n,h}VHE, the EL2 setup code programs MDCR_EL2.HPMN with the EL2
view of PMCR_EL0.N for the host
Lastly, avoid traps under nested virtualization by saving PMCR_EL0.N in
host data.
