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
KVM_CAP_HYPERV_STIMER_DIRECT and use its number instead.

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.

KVM/arm updates for 4.20
- Improved guest IPA space support (32 to 52 bits)
- RAS event delivery for 32bit
- PMU fixes
- Guest entry hardening
- Various cleanups
This is a per-VM capability which can be enabled by userspace so that
the faulting linear address will be included with the information
about a pending #PF in L2, and the "new DR6 bits" will be included
with the information about a pending #DB in L2. With this capability
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.

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.

This adds a KVM_PPC_NO_HASH flag to the flags field of the

to userspace that HPT guests are not supported. Reporting the

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.

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).

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.

In Hyper-V, the fast guest->host notification mechanism is the
SIGNAL_EVENT hypercall, with a single parameter of the connection ID to
signal.
Currently this hypercall incurs a user exit and requires the userspace
to decode the parameters and trigger the notification of the potentially
different I/O context.
To avoid the costly user exit, process this hypercall and signal the
corresponding eventfd in KVM, similar to ioeventfd. The association
between the connection id and the eventfd is established via the newly
introduced KVM_HYPERV_EVENTFD ioctl, and maintained in an
(srcu-protected) IDR.
