9 daysplatform/x86/amd/hsmp: Document and expose client telemetry table in UAPIMuralidhara M K
Add struct hsmp_telemetry_table_rm to the UAPI header, describing the Ryzen Master SMC telemetry table (table version 5, as reported by HSMP_CLIENT_GET_METRICS_TABLE_VER) returned by HSMP_CLIENT_GET_METRICS_TABLE on the Family 1Ah client models, now that the previous commit wires that message up to a usable DRAM mapping. Point amd_hsmp.rst at struct hsmp_telemetry_table_rm instead of duplicating the layout in prose. The Public PPR for the model in use remains the reference for units and encodings.

9 daysplatform/x86/amd/hsmp: Route metric table through the client messagesMuralidhara M K
Wire the client metric table and metric table DRAM address messages into the metric table read path for the Family 1Ah client platforms, and fetch the DRAM base for them during ACPI probe, lifting the defensive client exclusion placed on that call several commits ago. Add metric_tbl_msg and metric_dram_msg to struct hsmp_plat_desc, and have hsmp_metric_tbl_read_locked() and hsmp_get_tbl_dram_base() take the message ID from there instead of a shared constant, since the client set numbers these messages differently from the server set (05h/06h vs 24h/25h). Have hsmp_get_tbl_dram_base() take response_sz from hsmp_msg_response_sz() too, since the client set has no descriptor table to take it from directly. Add enum ryzen_master_proto_versions, and replace the single !is_client_platform() exclusion guarding the hsmp_get_tbl_dram_base() call in init_acpi() with a RYZEN_MASTER_PROTO_VER1 clause for client platforms alongside the existing HSMP_PROTO_VER6 clause for server. proto_ver holds the Ryzen Master interface version on client platforms, a separate numbering space from enum hsmp_proto_versions; gating the two platforms on their own version enum avoids relying on numeric coincidence between the two, and lets a client interface version bump be reasoned about independently of the server protocol version.

9 daysplatform/x86/amd/hsmp: Add HSMP client support for Family 1AhMuralidhara M K
Add HSMP client support for the Family 1Ah client platforms, Models 80h-8Fh and E0h-E3h, recognized by the previous commit via is_client_platform(). These parts speak the Ryzen Master SMC (RMSMC) message set instead of the server HSMP messages, and probe via ACPI _CRS/_DSD like a server socket. Add the client message set to the UAPI header. Introduce struct hsmp_plat_desc to select the test message and protocol-version message at runtime, based on is_client_platform() rather than a fixed set of family/model ranges. The client set has no per-message descriptor table. validate_message() and hsmp_ioctl_msg() therefore skip msg_id range validation and the /dev/hsmp GET/SET fd-mode gate for client messages, leaving msg_id validity to firmware's response status; validate_message() still bounds client num_args and response_sz to HSMP_CLIENT_MAX_MSG_LEN. Server platforms keep every check, and get_msg_desc() now also enforces a lower msg_id bound there. get_msg_desc() sanitizes msg_id with array_index_nospec() against its own num_msgs bound before indexing the descriptor table, rather than depending on a caller-side clamp. Add hsmp_msg_response_sz(), returning the descriptor table entry on server and the client protocol max otherwise, used by hsmp_cache_proto_ver() since firmware returns only args[0] for client. validate_message() and hsmp_ioctl_msg() distinguish the two sets via the already-resolved hsmp_plat_desc/hsmp_msg_desc pointers, not a second is_client_platform() call. The /dev/hsmp 0600 restriction and every sysfs/hwmon attribute hidden on client platforms stay from the previous commit: hsmp_ioctl_msg() still has no GET/SET gate for client messages, so an unprivileged opener could otherwise issue destructive SET messages, and the hidden attributes still resolve against unrelated client commands. Lifting either restriction is deferred to the commits that make the corresponding client functionality safe to expose. Document the client models in amd_hsmp.rst.

KVM x86 misc changes for 7.4 - Mask off the address space ID when checking for illegal usage of kvm_set_internal_memslot() to prevent false negatives on the sanity check. - Explicitly zero reserved flags when delivering a SynIC message to avoid leaking a byte of stack information to the guest. - Rework TDX's handling of the canonical MMU root level to not rely on userspace to fill CPUID correctly, as doing so lets userspace trivially trigger a KVM_BUG_ON(). - Reject KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE if userspace "restores" L1 with EFER.LMA=1 && EFER.LME=0, which confuses KVM into trying to configure an 64-bit MMU without PAE. - Ignore EFER.LMA (clear it from KVM's cached save state) if EFER.LME=0 when preparing L2 state, to fix another way to confuse KVM's MMU (and because real hardware also ignores EFER.LMA). - Improve KVM's sanity checks for a misconfigured MMU to (hopefully) detect all of the ways KVM can botch EFER.LMA vs. CR4.PAE. - Remove the "full" out-param from kvm_x86_ops.flush_tlb_gva() as the param is only used to avoid what effectively amounts to a single memory write. - Fix a mostly-benign bug where KVM can write through a guest's read-only mapping due to not checking the error code when expediting emulated MMIO page faults. - Honor the guest's view of the "EFER.LMSLE must be zero" defeature so that userspace can provide migration compatibility between Rome and Milan+. - Pend a KVM_REQ_EVENT request when an exception is morphed into a nested VM-Exit, otherwise KVM can fail to actually deliver the nested VM-Exit, e.g. when injecting a page fault. - Add support for PML on SVM. - Add support for virtualizing Bus Lock Detect on SVM, and fix a number of DR6 bugs and warts along the way. - Misc fixes and cleanups.

2026-10-09kho: rename KHO scratch to KHO bootmemPratyush Yadav (Google)
The term "KHO scratch" is vague and overloaded. For one, it does not accurately describe what the memory is for. From KHO's perspective, it is memory passed by the previous kernel that is guaranteed to have no allocations and hence it is safe to allocate from. For another, the term is overloaded. KHO also knows to discover other ranges of memory that don't have any preservations and are safe to allocate from. This is done by kho_extend_scratch(). These areas, while called "scratch", are completely different from the chunk of memory passed by the previous kernel for early boot allocations. Rename "KHO scratch" to "KHO boot memory", or "KHO bootmem" in short. Update all function names, variable names, comments, and documentation to use this. Call the discovered areas "noprsrv", matching what memblock would see them as. Rename kho_extend_scratch() to reflect this. This patch largely has no functional changes. The only functional changes are renames of debugfs files from "scratch_phys" and "scratch_len" to "bootmem_phys" and "bootmem_len" respectively.

2026-09-28KVM: SVM: Add Page modification logging supportNikunj A Dadhania
Currently, dirty logging relies on write protecting guest memory and marking dirty GFNs during subsequent write faults. This method works but incurs overhead due to additional write faults for each dirty GFN. Implement support for the Page Modification Logging (PML) feature, a hardware-assisted method for efficient dirty logging. PML automatically logs dirty GPA[51:12] to a 4K buffer when the CPU sets NPT D-bits. Two new VMCB fields are utilized: PML_ADDR and PML_INDEX. The PML_INDEX is initialized to 511 (8 bytes per GPA entry), and the CPU decreases the PML_INDEX after logging each GPA. When the PML buffer is full, a VMEXIT(PML_FULL) with exit code 0x407 is generated. Since PML_INDEX in the VMCB control area remains valid after an intercepted SHUTDOWN, only initialize it on reset and leave it unchanged on INIT to avoid discarding already-logged entries that haven't been flushed. PML operates on guest physical addresses at the NPT level, tracking D-bit updates in page tables rather than memory content. This allows it to work identically for normal and confidential computing guests (SEV/SEV-ES/SEV-SNP), enabling cpu_dirty_log_size to be set uniformly for all AMD VMs without special-casing encrypted guests. Use vmcb01 directly when updating PML controls to ensure L1's state remains correct, as svm->vmcb points to vmcb02 when L2 is active. PML is not enabled in hardware for nested guests; treat PML_FULL as unexpected exits. Add a new module parameter to enable/disable PML, and enable it by default when supported.

2026-09-28{x86,um}/uapi/ptrace: Guard register offset macros with __ASSEMBLER__ or ↵Nick Desaulniers
__FRAME_OFFSETS The register offset macros in <asm/ptrace-abi.h> are guarded by `defined(__ASSEMBLER__) || defined(__FRAME_OFFSETS)` for 64-bit, but were left unguarded for 32-bit. This causes havoc for userspace that happens to use identifiers colliding with these short macro names (e.g., EBX, ECX, EAX, DS, ES, FS, GS, CS, SS). Without this guard, userspace is forced to be super extra careful with include ordering to minimize the chance of collision. Wrap both the 32-bit and 64-bit register definitions under `#if defined(__ASSEMBLER__) || defined(__FRAME_OFFSETS)`, and ensure User-Mode Linux (UML) defines `__FRAME_OFFSETS` for 32-bit as well.

2026-09-02perf/x86: Support SSP sampling using sample_regs_* fieldsDapeng Mi
Support sampling of CET SSP register via the sample_regs_* fields. To sample SSP, the sample_simd_regs_enabled field must be set. This allows the spare space (reclaimed from the original XMM space) in the sample_regs_* fields to be used for representing SSP. Similar to eGPRs sampling, the perf_reg_value() function needs to check if the PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_ABI_SIMD flag is set first, and then determine whether to output SSP or legacy XMM registers to userspace. Additionally, arch-PEBS supports sampling SSP, which is placed into the GPRs group. Also enables arch-PEBS-based SSP sampling. Currently, SSP sampling is only supported on the x86_64 architecture, as CET is only available on x86_64 platforms.

2026-07-28platform/x86/amd/hsmp: Add IOCTL_GET_TELEMETRY_DATA for metric table readsMuralidhara M K
The metric table needs to be delivered to userspace as a single atomic snapshot, but the current sysfs metrics_bin path is a file read: userspace can read it in chunks and observe a torn snapshot if an SMU refresh happens between read() calls. The same path is also bounded by PAGE_SIZE, so the ~13 KB table used by HSMP protocol version 7 on Family 1Ah Model 50h-5Fh cannot be returned at all, regardless of how userspace reads it. Rather than extend sysfs to lift both restrictions, expose the metric table through the existing HSMP character device using a new ioctl that always copies the table in one shot. Add struct hsmp_telemetry_data and HSMP_IOCTL_GET_TELEMETRY_DATA to the UAPI header. Under the surrounding #pragma pack(4), placing the __u64 user pointer first gives a tight 16-byte layout that is identical for 32- and 64-bit callers, and the trailing __u16 reserved field is rejected with -EINVAL if non-zero so future kernels can repurpose it without breaking already-deployed userspace. The command is encoded with _IOW because the kernel only reads the request struct; the snapshot travels through the user pointer it carries. The requested size may be anything from one byte up to the size firmware reported for that socket's table. A short request returns the leading bytes of the snapshot, so userspace built against an older table layout keeps working on firmware that grew the table, mirroring the relaxed response_sz rule applied to HSMP messages earlier in this series. A request larger than the firmware table is rejected with -EINVAL rather than short-written, so a caller can never mistake a partial copy for a full one. Dispatch hsmp_ioctl() on the ioctl command: the existing message handler is factored out as hsmp_ioctl_msg() for HSMP_IOCTL_CMD, and HSMP_IOCTL_GET_TELEMETRY_DATA goes to a new hsmp_ioctl_get_telemetry() helper. /dev/hsmp is a singleton character device that outlives an individual socket unbind, so an ioctl issued on an already-open fd can run concurrently with socket teardown. hsmp_sock_rwsem is the driver's contract for that: the data plane takes it for read, and probe and remove take it for write to drain the data plane before freeing the socket array, unmapping the metric tables and destroying the per-socket mutexes. hsmp_ioctl_get_telemetry() takes it for read across the socket lookup, the checks on that socket's metric-table state and the table read itself, so none of that state can be torn down underneath it. Without this the handler would sleep in its kvmalloc() holding no lock at all, and could resume with a freed socket, locking a destroyed mutex and reading from an unmapped iomem region. The lock is dropped before the copy_to_user(), because faulting in the destination can block indefinitely on a userfaultfd-backed buffer and would otherwise leave a socket unbind waiting for the write lock. Since hsmp_metric_tbl_read() reached the mailbox through hsmp_send_message(), which takes hsmp_sock_rwsem itself, calling it with the lock already held would recursively take the read side and can deadlock against a queued writer. Split out hsmp_metric_tbl_read_locked(), which asserts the lock and uses hsmp_send_message_locked(), and leave hsmp_metric_tbl_read() as a wrapper that takes the read lock for the sysfs callers. This also brings the whole fill-and-copy under the rwsem for those callers, where the memcpy_fromio() previously ran outside it, and makes the lock order uniformly hsmp_sock_rwsem -> metric_read_lock -> hsmp_sem.

2026-07-28platform/x86/amd/hsmp: Source metric-table size from firmwareMuralidhara M K
The driver hard-codes the metric-table region size to sizeof(struct hsmp_metric_table). That is correct for HSMP protocol version 6 but mis-sizes the ioremap of the SMU DRAM region on newer platforms: Family 1Ah Model 50h-5Fh exposes a ~13 KB table under protocol version 7, and the table is expected to keep growing on future firmware. The same hard-coded value also forces hsmp_metric_tbl_read() to reject any read that follows the actual firmware layout. Pick up the table size from firmware instead. SMU on Family 1Ah Model 50h and later populates HSMP_GET_METRIC_TABLE_DRAM_ADDR's args[2] with the DRAM region size in bytes; older firmware leaves it 0. Bump the descriptor's response_sz to 3 so the field is read, and store the result in the new per-socket hsmp_socket.metric_tbl_size, which is then used both for the ioremap() of the region and as the expected size in hsmp_metric_tbl_read(). The size is stored per socket rather than per platform because hsmp_get_tbl_dram_base() runs once per socket and each socket maps its own region. A single platform-wide field would let the last socket's size be used to copy out of an earlier socket's smaller mapping. Bump DRIVER_VERSION to 2.6. Behaviour on existing protocol-version-6 hardware is unchanged. Reading a third response word is safe there: for this command SMU leaves args[2] as 0 rather than a stale value from an earlier mailbox transaction, so the fallback always applies, yielding the same value as the previous hard-coded one, and both the ioremap and the size check produce the same result as before.

2026-07-28platform/x86/amd/hsmp: Add HSMP messages for Family 1Ah, Model 50h-5FhMuralidhara M K
Family 1Ah Model 50h-5Fh firmware exposes new HSMP messages (0x29-0x2A, 0x33-0x3A) for PC6/CC6 control, CCD power/thermal monitoring, DIMM sideband access, floor- and SDPS-limit control, and command-enable discovery. The same firmware extends three existing SET-only messages (HSMP_SET_XGMI_LINK_WIDTH 0x0C, HSMP_SET_DF_PSTATE 0x0D, HSMP_SET_PSTATE_MAX_MIN 0x22) with a read-back path selected by bit[31] of args[0] (0 = set, 1 = get). Add the new IDs and convert the three messages to HSMP_SET_GET. Also add PQoS-related HSMP messages HSMP_PQOS_TRAFFIC_PRIORITY (0x3B) and HSMP_PQOS_FLOATING_BW (0x3C) with matching hsmp_msg_desc_table[] descriptors so userspace can reach the new functionality. Backward compatibility is preserved on prior platforms: new IDs previously occupied HSMP_RSVD slots, and existing userspace that leaves bit[31] = 0 continues to take a pure SET path. Converting the three SET messages to HSMP_SET_GET also keeps them accepted by validate_message(), which already applies a relaxed upper-bound check on response_sz for that type.

Add a 'gpat' field to kvm_svm_nested_state_hdr to carry L2's guest PAT value across save and restore. When KVM_X86_QUIRK_NESTED_SVM_SHARED_PAT is disabled and the vCPU is in guest mode with nested NPT enabled, save vmcb02's g_pat into the header on KVM_GET_NESTED_STATE, and restore it on KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE. Host-initiated accesses to IA32_PAT (via KVM_GET/SET_MSRS) always target L1's hPAT, so they cannot be used to save or restore gPAT. The separate header field ensures that KVM_GET/SET_MSRS and KVM_GET/SET_NESTED_STATE are independent and can be ordered arbitrarily during save and restore. Note that struct kvm_svm_nested_state_hdr is included in a union padded to 120 bytes, so there is room to add the gpat field without changing any offsets.

2026-03-12KVM: x86: Use __DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() for UAPI structures with VLAsDavid Woodhouse
Commit 94dfc73e7cf4 ("treewide: uapi: Replace zero-length arrays with flexible-array members") broke the userspace API for C++. These structures ending in VLAs are typically a *header*, which can be followed by an arbitrary number of entries. Userspace typically creates a larger structure with some non-zero number of entries, for example in QEMU's kvm_arch_get_supported_msr_feature(): struct { struct kvm_msrs info; struct kvm_msr_entry entries[1]; } msr_data = {}; While that works in C, it fails in C++ with an error like: flexible array member 'kvm_msrs::entries' not at end of 'struct msr_data' Fix this by using __DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() for the VLA, which uses [0] for C++ compilation.

This however was a lot of code (~3K lines) in order to support KVM, and also blocked several features. The biggest advantages is that the page size of userspace is completely independent of the page size used by the guest: userspace can mix normal pages, THPs and hugetlbfs as it sees fit, and in fact transparent hugepages were not possible before. It's also now possible to have nested guests and guests with huge pages running on the same host - Maintainership change for s390 vfio-pci - Small quality of life improvement for protected guests x86: - Add support for giving the guest full ownership of PMU hardware (contexted switched around the fastpath run loop) and allowing direct access to data MSRs and PMCs (restricted by the vPMU model). KVM still intercepts access to control registers, e.g. to enforce event filtering and to prevent the guest from profiling sensitive host state. This is more accurate, since it has no risk of contention and thus dropped events, and also has significantly less overhead.

2026-01-30KVM: x86: Add x2APIC "features" to control EOI broadcast suppressionKhushit Shah
Add two flags for KVM_CAP_X2APIC_API to allow userspace to control support for Suppress EOI Broadcasts when using a split IRQCHIP (I/O APIC emulated by userspace), which KVM completely mishandles. When x2APIC support was first added, KVM incorrectly advertised and "enabled" Suppress EOI Broadcast, without fully supporting the I/O APIC side of the equation, i.e. without adding directed EOI to KVM's in-kernel I/O APIC. That flaw was carried over to split IRQCHIP support, i.e. KVM advertised support for Suppress EOI Broadcasts irrespective of whether or not the userspace I/O APIC implementation supported directed EOIs. Even worse, KVM didn't actually suppress EOI broadcasts, i.e. userspace VMMs without support for directed EOI came to rely on the "spurious" broadcasts. KVM "fixed" the in-kernel I/O APIC implementation by completely disabling support for Suppress EOI Broadcasts in commit 0bcc3fb95b97 ("KVM: lapic: stop advertising DIRECTED_EOI when in-kernel IOAPIC is in use"), but didn't do anything to remedy userspace I/O APIC implementations. KVM's bogus handling of Suppress EOI Broadcast is problematic when the guest relies on interrupts being masked in the I/O APIC until well after the initial local APIC EOI. E.g. Windows with Credential Guard enabled handles interrupts in the following order: 1. Interrupt for L2 arrives. 2. L1 APIC EOIs the interrupt. 3. L1 resumes L2 and injects the interrupt. 4. L2 EOIs after servicing. 5. L1 performs the I/O APIC EOI. Because KVM EOIs the I/O APIC at step #2, the guest can get an interrupt storm, e.g. if the IRQ line is still asserted and userspace reacts to the EOI by re-injecting the IRQ, because the guest doesn't de-assert the line until step #4, and doesn't expect the interrupt to be re-enabled until step #5. Unfortunately, simply "fixing" the bug isn't an option, as KVM has no way of knowing if the userspace I/O APIC supports directed EOIs, i.e. suppressing EOI broadcasts would result in interrupts being stuck masked in the userspace I/O APIC due to step #5 being ignored by userspace. And fully disabling support for Suppress EOI Broadcast is also undesirable, as picking up the fix would require a guest reboot, *and* more importantly would change the virtual CPU model exposed to the guest without any buy-in from userspace. Add KVM_X2APIC_ENABLE_SUPPRESS_EOI_BROADCAST and KVM_X2APIC_DISABLE_SUPPRESS_EOI_BROADCAST flags to allow userspace to explicitly enable or disable support for Suppress EOI Broadcasts. This gives userspace control over the virtual CPU model exposed to the guest, as KVM should never have enabled support for Suppress EOI Broadcast without userspace opt-in. Not setting either flag will result in legacy quirky behavior for backward compatibility. Disallow fully enabling SUPPRESS_EOI_BROADCAST when using an in-kernel I/O APIC, as KVM's history/support is just as tragic. E.g. it's not clear that commit c806a6ad35bf ("KVM: x86: call irq notifiers with directed EOI") was entirely correct, i.e. it may have simply papered over the lack of Directed EOI emulation in the I/O APIC. Note, Suppress EOI Broadcasts is defined only in Intel's SDM, not in AMD's APM. But the bit is writable on some AMD CPUs, e.g. Turin, and KVM's ABI is to support Directed EOI (KVM's name) irrespective of guest CPU vendor.

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini: "ARM: - Support for userspace handling of synchronous external aborts (SEAs), allowing the VMM to potentially handle the abort in a non-fatal manner - Large rework of the VGIC's list register handling with the goal of supporting more active/pending IRQs than available list registers in hardware. In addition, the VGIC now supports EOImode==1 style deactivations for IRQs which may occur on a separate vCPU than the one that acked the IRQ - Support for FEAT_XNX (user / privileged execute permissions) and FEAT_HAF (hardware update to the Access Flag) in the software page table walkers and shadow MMU - Allow page table destruction to reschedule, fixing long need_resched latencies observed when destroying a large VM - Minor fixes to KVM and selftests Loongarch: - Get VM PMU capability from HW GCFG register - Add AVEC basic support - Use 64-bit register definition for EIOINTC - Add KVM timer test cases for tools/selftests RISC/V: - SBI message passing (MPXY) support for KVM guest - Give a new, more specific error subcode for the case when in-kernel AIA virtualization fails to allocate IMSIC VS-file - Support KVM_DIRTY_LOG_INITIALLY_SET, enabling dirty log gradually in small chunks - Fix guest page fault within HLV* instructions - Flush VS-stage TLB after VCPU migration for Andes cores s390: - Always allocate ESCA (Extended System Control Area), instead of starting with the basic SCA and converting to ESCA with the addition of the 65th vCPU. The price is increased number of exits (and worse performance) on z10 and earlier processor; ESCA was introduced by z114/z196 in 2010 - VIRT_XFER_TO_GUEST_WORK support - Operation exception forwarding support - Cleanups x86: - Skip the costly "zap all SPTEs" on an MMIO generation wrap if MMIO SPTE caching is disabled, as there can't be any relevant SPTEs to zap - Relocate a misplaced export - Fix an async #PF bug where KVM would clear the completion queue when the guest transitioned in and out of paging mode, e.g. when handling an SMI and then returning to paged mode via RSM - Leave KVM's user-return notifier registered even when disabling virtualization, as long as kvm.ko is loaded. On reboot/shutdown, keeping the notifier registered is ok; the kernel does not use the MSRs and the callback will run cleanly and restore host MSRs if the CPU manages to return to userspace before the system goes down - Use the checked version of {get,put}_user() - Fix a long-lurking bug where KVM's lack of catch-up logic for periodic APIC timers can result in a hard lockup in the host - Revert the periodic kvmclock sync logic now that KVM doesn't use a clocksource that's subject to NTP corrections - Clean up KVM's handling of MMIO Stale Data and L1TF, and bury the latter behind CONFIG_CPU_MITIGATIONS - Context switch XCR0, XSS, and PKRU outside of the entry/exit fast path; the only reason they were handled in the fast path was to paper of a bug in the core #MC code, and that has long since been fixed - Add emulator support for AVX MOV instructions, to play nice with emulated devices whose guest drivers like to access PCI BARs with large multi-byte instructions x86 (AMD): - Fix a few missing "VMCB dirty" bugs - Fix the worst of KVM's lack of EFER.LMSLE emulation - Add AVIC support for addressing 4k vCPUs in x2AVIC mode - Fix incorrect handling of selective CR0 writes when checking intercepts during emulation of L2 instructions - Fix a currently-benign bug where KVM would clobber SPEC_CTRL[63:32] on VMRUN and #VMEXIT - Fix a bug where KVM corrupt the guest code stream when re-injecting a soft interrupt if the guest patched the underlying code after the VM-Exit, e.g. when Linux patches code with a temporary INT3 - Add KVM_X86_SNP_POLICY_BITS to advertise supported SNP policy bits to userspace, and extend KVM "support" to all policy bits that don't require any actual support from KVM x86 (Intel): - Use the root role from kvm_mmu_page to construct EPTPs instead of the current vCPU state, partly as worthwhile cleanup, but mostly to pave the way for tracking per-root TLB flushes, and elide EPT flushes on pCPU migration if the root is clean from a previous flush - Add a few missing nested consistency checks - Rip out support for doing "early" consistency checks via hardware as the functionality hasn't been used in years and is no longer useful in general; replace it with an off-by-default module param to WARN if hardware fails a check that KVM does not perform - Fix a currently-benign bug where KVM would drop the guest's SPEC_CTRL[63:32] on VM-Enter - Misc cleanups - Overhaul the TDX code to address systemic races where KVM (acting on behalf of userspace) could inadvertantly trigger lock contention in the TDX-Module; KVM was either working around these in weird, ugly ways, or was simply oblivious to them (though even Yan's devilish selftests could only break individual VMs, not the host kernel) - Fix a bug where KVM could corrupt a vCPU's cpu_list when freeing a TDX vCPU, if creating said vCPU failed partway through - Fix a few sparse warnings (bad annotation, 0 != NULL) - Use struct_size() to simplify copying TDX capabilities to userspace - Fix a bug where TDX would effectively corrupt user-return MSR values if the TDX Module rejects VP.ENTER and thus doesn't clobber host MSRs as expected Selftests: - Fix a math goof in mmu_stress_test when running on a single-CPU system/VM - Forcefully override ARCH from x86_64 to x86 to play nice with specifying ARCH=x86_64 on the command line - Extend a bunch of nested VMX to validate nested SVM as well - Add support for LA57 in the core VM_MODE_xxx macro, and add a test to verify KVM can save/restore nested VMX state when L1 is using 5-level paging, but L2 is not - Clean up the guest paging code in anticipation of sharing the core logic for nested EPT and nested NPT guest_memfd: - Add NUMA mempolicy support for guest_memfd, and clean up a variety of rough edges in guest_memfd along the way - Define a CLASS to automatically handle get+put when grabbing a guest_memfd from a memslot to make it harder to leak references - Enhance KVM selftests to make it easer to develop and debug selftests like those added for guest_memfd NUMA support, e.g. where test and/or KVM bugs often result in hard-to-debug SIGBUS errors - Misc cleanups Generic: - Use the recently-added WQ_PERCPU when creating the per-CPU workqueue for irqfd cleanup - Fix a goof in the dirty ring documentation - Fix choice of target for directed yield across different calls to kvm_vcpu_on_spin();

2025-11-18x86/cpufeatures: Enumerate the LASS feature bitsSohil Mehta
Linear Address Space Separation (LASS) is a security feature that mitigates a class of side-channel attacks relying on speculative access across the user/kernel boundary. Privilege mode based access protection already exists today with paging and features such as SMEP and SMAP. However, to enforce these protections, the processor must traverse the paging structures in memory. An attacker can use timing information resulting from this traversal to determine details about the paging structures, and to determine the layout of the kernel memory. LASS provides the same mode-based protections as paging but without traversing the paging structures. Because the protections are enforced prior to page-walks, an attacker will not be able to derive paging-based timing information from the various caching structures such as the TLBs, mid-level caches, page walker, data caches, etc. LASS enforcement relies on the kernel implementation to divide the 64-bit virtual address space into two halves: Addr[63]=0 -> User address space Addr[63]=1 -> Kernel address space Any data access or code execution across address spaces typically results in a #GP fault, with an #SS generated in some rare cases. The LASS enforcement for kernel data accesses is dependent on CR4.SMAP being set. The enforcement can be disabled by toggling the RFLAGS.AC bit similar to SMAP. Define the CPU feature bits to enumerate LASS. Also, disable the feature at compile time on 32-bit kernels. Use a direct dependency on X86_32 (instead of !X86_64) to make it easier to combine with similar 32-bit specific dependencies in the future. LASS mitigates a class of side-channel speculative attacks, such as Spectre LAM, described in the paper, "Leaky Address Masking: Exploiting Unmasked Spectre Gadgets with Noncanonical Address Translation". Add the "lass" flag to /proc/cpuinfo to indicate that the feature is supported by hardware and enabled by the kernel. This allows userspace to determine if the system is secure against such attacks.

2025-10-20KVM: VMX: Inject #UD if guest tries to execute SEAMCALL or TDCALLSean Christopherson
Add VMX exit handlers for SEAMCALL and TDCALL to inject a #UD if a non-TD guest attempts to execute SEAMCALL or TDCALL. Neither SEAMCALL nor TDCALL is gated by any software enablement other than VMXON, and so will generate a VM-Exit instead of e.g. a native #UD when executed from the guest kernel. Note! No unprivileged DoS of the L1 kernel is possible as TDCALL and SEAMCALL #GP at CPL > 0, and the CPL check is performed prior to the VMX non-root (VM-Exit) check, i.e. userspace can't crash the VM. And for a nested guest, KVM forwards unknown exits to L1, i.e. an L2 kernel can crash itself, but not L1. Note #2! The Intel® Trust Domain CPU Architectural Extensions spec's pseudocode shows the CPL > 0 check for SEAMCALL coming _after_ the VM-Exit, but that appears to be a documentation bug (likely because the CPL > 0 check was incorrectly bundled with other lower-priority #GP checks). Testing on SPR and EMR shows that the CPL > 0 check is performed before the VMX non-root check, i.e. SEAMCALL #GPs when executed in usermode. Note #3! The aforementioned Trust Domain spec uses confusing pseudocode that says that SEAMCALL will #UD if executed "inSEAM", but "inSEAM" specifically means in SEAM Root Mode, i.e. in the TDX-Module. The long- form description explicitly states that SEAMCALL generates an exit when executed in "SEAM VMX non-root operation". But that's a moot point as the TDX-Module injects #UD if the guest attempts to execute SEAMCALL, as documented in the "Unconditionally Blocked Instructions" section of the TDX-Module base specification.

2025-09-23KVM: x86: Enable guest SSP read/write interface with new uAPIsYang Weijiang
Add a KVM-defined ONE_REG register, KVM_REG_GUEST_SSP, to let userspace save and restore the guest's Shadow Stack Pointer (SSP). On both Intel and AMD, SSP is a hardware register that can only be accessed by software via dedicated ISA (e.g. RDSSP) or via VMCS/VMCB fields (used by hardware to context switch SSP at entry/exit). As a result, SSP doesn't fit in any of KVM's existing interfaces for saving/restoring state. Internally, treat SSP as a fake/synthetic MSR, as the semantics of writes to SSP follow that of several other Shadow Stack MSRs, e.g. the PLx_SSP MSRs. Use a translation layer to hide the KVM-internal MSR index so that the arbitrary index doesn't become ABI, e.g. so that KVM can rework its implementation as needed, so long as the ONE_REG ABI is maintained. Explicitly reject accesses to SSP if the vCPU doesn't have Shadow Stack support to avoid running afoul of ignore_msrs, which unfortunately applies to host-initiated accesses (which is a discussion for another day). I.e. ensure consistent behavior for KVM-defined registers irrespective of ignore_msrs.

Enable KVM_{G,S}ET_ONE_REG uAPIs so that userspace can access MSRs and other non-MSR registers through them, along with support for KVM_GET_REG_LIST to enumerate support for KVM-defined registers. This is in preparation for allowing userspace to read/write the guest SSP register, which is needed for the upcoming CET virtualization support. Currently, two types of registers are supported: KVM_X86_REG_TYPE_MSR and KVM_X86_REG_TYPE_KVM. All MSRs are in the former type; the latter type is added for registers that lack existing KVM uAPIs to access them. The "KVM" in the name is intended to be vague to give KVM flexibility to include other potential registers. More precise names like "SYNTHETIC" and "SYNTHETIC_MSR" were considered, but were deemed too confusing (e.g. can be conflated with synthetic guest-visible MSRs) and may put KVM into a corner (e.g. if KVM wants to change how a KVM-defined register is modeled internally). Enumerate only KVM-defined registers in KVM_GET_REG_LIST to avoid duplicating KVM_GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST, and so that KVM can return _only_ registers that are fully supported (KVM_GET_REG_LIST is vCPU-scoped, i.e. can be precise, whereas KVM_GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST is system-scoped).

2025-08-31x86/apic: Initialize Secure AVIC APIC backing pageNeeraj Upadhyay
With Secure AVIC, the APIC backing page is owned and managed by the guest. Allocate and initialize APIC backing page for all guest CPUs. The NPT entry for a vCPU's APIC backing page must always be present when the vCPU is running in order for Secure AVIC to function. A VMEXIT_BUSY is returned on VMRUN and the vCPU cannot be resumed otherwise. To handle this, notify GPA of the vCPU's APIC backing page to the hypervisor by using the SVM_VMGEXIT_SECURE_AVIC GHCB protocol event. Before executing VMRUN, the hypervisor makes use of this information to make sure the APIC backing page is mapped in the NPT.
