<content type='text'>
We've had issues with gcc and 'asm goto' before, and we created a
'asm_volatile_goto()' macro for that in the past: see commits
3f0116c3238a ("compiler/gcc4: Add quirk for 'asm goto' miscompilation
bug") and a9f180345f53 ("compiler/gcc4: Make quirk for
asm_volatile_goto() unconditional").

Then, much later, we ended up removing the workaround in commit
43c249ea0b1e ("compiler-gcc.h: remove ancient workaround for gcc PR
58670") because we no longer supported building the kernel with the
affected gcc versions, but we left the macro uses around.

Now, Sean Christopherson reports a new version of a very similar
problem, which is fixed by re-applying that ancient workaround.  But the
problem in question is limited to only the 'asm goto with outputs'
cases, so instead of re-introducing the old workaround as-is, let's
rename and limit the workaround to just that much less common case.

It looks like there are at least two separate issues that all hit in
this area:

 (a) some versions of gcc don't mark the asm goto as 'volatile' when it
     has outputs:

        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=98619
        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110420

     which is easy to work around by just adding the 'volatile' by hand.

 (b) Internal compiler errors:

        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110422

     which are worked around by adding the extra empty 'asm' as a
     barrier, as in the original workaround.

but the problem Sean sees may be a third thing since it involves bad
code generation (not an ICE) even with the manually added 'volatile'.

but the same old workaround works for this case, even if this feels a
bit like voodoo programming and may only be hiding the issue.

After commit a9ef277488cf ("x86/kvm: Fix SEV check in
sev_map_percpu_data()"), there is a build error when building
x86_64_defconfig with GCOV using LLVM:

  ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: cc_vendor
  &gt;&gt;&gt; referenced by kvm.c
  &gt;&gt;&gt;               arch/x86/kernel/kvm.o:(kvm_smp_prepare_boot_cpu) in archive vmlinux.a

which corresponds to

  if (cc_vendor != CC_VENDOR_AMD ||
      !cc_platform_has(CC_ATTR_GUEST_MEM_ENCRYPT))
            return;

Without GCOV, clang is able to eliminate the use of cc_vendor because
cc_platform_has() evaluates to false when CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CC_PLATFORM is
not set, meaning that if statement will be true no matter what value
cc_vendor has.

With GCOV, the instrumentation keeps the use of cc_vendor around for
code coverage purposes but cc_vendor is only declared, not defined,
without CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CC_PLATFORM, leading to the build error above.

Provide a macro definition of cc_vendor when CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CC_PLATFORM
is not set with a value of CC_VENDOR_NONE, so that the first condition
can always be evaluated/eliminated at compile time, avoiding the build
error altogether. This is very similar to the situation prior to
commit da86eb961184 ("x86/coco: Get rid of accessor functions").

<content type='text'>
Since commit b0563468eeac ("x86/CPU/AMD: Disable XSAVES on AMD family 0x17")
kernel unconditionally clears the XSAVES CPU feature bit on Zen1/2 CPUs.

Because KVM CPU caps are initialized from the kernel boot CPU features this
makes the XSAVES feature also unavailable for KVM guests in this case.
At the same time the XSAVEC feature is left enabled.

Unfortunately, having XSAVEC but no XSAVES in CPUID breaks Hyper-V enabled
Windows Server 2016 VMs that have more than one vCPU.

Let's at least give users hint in the kernel log what could be wrong since
these VMs currently simply hang at boot with a black screen - giving no
clue what suddenly broke them and how to make them work again.

Trigger the kernel message hint based on the particular guest ID written to
the Guest OS Identity Hyper-V MSR implemented by KVM.

Defer this check to when the L1 Hyper-V hypervisor enables SVM in EFER
since we want to limit this message to Hyper-V enabled Windows guests only
(Windows session running nested as L2) but the actual Guest OS Identity MSR
write is done by L1 and happens before it enables SVM.

Alexander Potapenko writes in [1]: "For every memory access in the code
instrumented by KMSAN we call kmsan_get_metadata() to obtain the metadata
for the memory being accessed.  For virtual memory the metadata pointers
are stored in the corresponding `struct page`, therefore we need to call
virt_to_page() to get them.

According to the comment in arch/x86/include/asm/page.h,
virt_to_page(kaddr) returns a valid pointer iff virt_addr_valid(kaddr) is
true, so KMSAN needs to call virt_addr_valid() as well.

To avoid recursion, kmsan_get_metadata() must not call instrumented code,
therefore ./arch/x86/include/asm/kmsan.h forks parts of
arch/x86/mm/physaddr.c to check whether a virtual address is valid or not.

But the introduction of rcu_read_lock() to pfn_valid() added instrumented
RCU API calls to virt_to_page_or_null(), which is called by
kmsan_get_metadata(), so there is an infinite recursion now.  I do not
think it is correct to stop that recursion by doing
kmsan_enter_runtime()/kmsan_exit_runtime() in kmsan_get_metadata(): that
would prevent instrumented functions called from within the runtime from
tracking the shadow values, which might introduce false positives."

Fix the issue by switching pfn_valid() to the _sched() variant of
rcu_read_lock/unlock(), which does not require calling into RCU.  Given
the critical section in pfn_valid() is very small, this is a reasonable
trade-off (with preemptible RCU).

KMSAN further needs to be careful to suppress calls into the scheduler,
which would be another source of recursion.  This can be done by wrapping
the call to pfn_valid() into preempt_disable/enable_no_resched().  The
downside is that this sacrifices breaking scheduling guarantees; however,
a kernel compiled with KMSAN has already given up any performance
guarantees due to being heavily instrumented.

Note, KMSAN code already disables tracing via Makefile, and since mmzone.h
is included, it is not necessary to use the notrace variant, which is
generally preferred in all other cases.

Presently ia32 registers stored in ptregs are unconditionally cast to
unsigned int by the ia32 stub. They are then cast to long when passed to
__se_sys*, but will not be sign extended.

This takes the sign of the syscall argument into account in the ia32
stub. It still casts to unsigned int to avoid implementation specific
behavior. However then casts to int or unsigned int as necessary. So that
the following cast to long sign extends the value.

This fixes the io_pgetevents02 LTP test when compiled with -m32. Presently
the systemcall io_pgetevents_time64() unexpectedly accepts -1 for the
maximum number of events.

It doesn't appear other systemcalls with signed arguments are effected
because they all have compat variants defined and wired up.

Pull x86 TDX updates from Dave Hansen:
 "This contains the initial support for host-side TDX support so that
  KVM can run TDX-protected guests. This does not include the actual
  KVM-side support which will come from the KVM folks. The TDX host
  interactions with kexec also needs to be ironed out before this is
  ready for prime time, so this code is currently Kconfig'd off when
  kexec is on.

  The majority of the code here is the kernel telling the TDX module
  which memory to protect and handing some additional memory over to it
  to use to store TDX module metadata. That sounds pretty simple, but
  the TDX architecture is rather flexible and it takes quite a bit of
  back-and-forth to say, "just protect all memory, please."

  There is also some code tacked on near the end of the series to handle
  a hardware erratum. The erratum can make software bugs such as a
  kernel write to TDX-protected memory cause a machine check and
  masquerade as a real hardware failure. The erratum handling watches
  out for these and tries to provide nicer user errors"
