a lockdep assertion.

<id>urn:sha1:ea61294befd361ab8260c65d53987b400e5599a7</id>
<content type='text'>
Revert KVM's misguided attempt to "fix" a use-after-module-unload bug that
was actually due to failure to flush a workqueue, not a lack of module
refcounting.  Pinning the KVM module until kvm_vm_destroy() doesn't
prevent use-after-free due to the module being unloaded, as userspace can
invoke delete_module() the instant the last reference to KVM is put, i.e.
can cause all KVM code to be unmapped while KVM is actively executing said
code.

Generally speaking, the many instances of module_put(THIS_MODULE)
notwithstanding, outside of a few special paths, a module can never safely
put the last reference to itself without creating deadlock, i.e. something
external to the module *must* put the last reference.  In other words,
having VMs grab a reference to the KVM module is futile, pointless, and as
evidenced by the now-reverted commit 70375c2d8fa3 ("Revert "KVM: set owner
of cpu and vm file operations""), actively dangerous.

This reverts commit 405294f29faee5de8c10cb9d4a90e229c2835279 and commit
5f6de5cbebee925a612856fce6f9182bb3eee0db.

Fixes: 405294f29fae ("KVM: Unconditionally get a ref to /dev/kvm module when creating a VM")
Fixes: 5f6de5cbebee ("KVM: Prevent module exit until all VMs are freed")

<title>KVM: Set file_operations.owner appropriately for all such structures</title>

<id>urn:sha1:087e15206d6ac0d46734e2b0ab34370c0fdca481</id>
<content type='text'>
Set .owner for all KVM-owned filed types so that the KVM module is pinned
until any files with callbacks back into KVM are completely freed.  Using
"struct kvm" as a proxy for the module, i.e. keeping KVM-the-module alive
while there are active VMs, doesn't provide full protection.

Userspace can invoke delete_module() the instant the last reference to KVM
is put.  If KVM itself puts the last reference, e.g. via kvm_destroy_vm(),
then it's possible for KVM to be preempted and deleted/unloaded before KVM
fully exits, e.g. when the task running kvm_destroy_vm() is scheduled back
in, it will jump to a code page that is no longer mapped.

Note, file types that can call into sub-module code, e.g. kvm-intel.ko or
kvm-amd.ko on x86, must use the module pointer passed to kvm_init(), not
THIS_MODULE (which points at kvm.ko).  KVM assumes that if /dev/kvm is
reachable, e.g. VMs are active, then the vendor module is loaded.

To reduce the probability of forgetting to set .owner entirely, use
THIS_MODULE for stats files where KVM does not call back into vendor code.

This reverts commit 70375c2d8fa3fb9b0b59207a9c5df1e2e1205c10, and fixes
several other file types that have been buggy since their introduction.

Fixes: 70375c2d8fa3 ("Revert "KVM: set owner of cpu and vm file operations"")
Fixes: 3bcd0662d66f ("KVM: X86: Introduce mmu_rmaps_stat per-vm debugfs file")

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "ARM:

   - Clean up vCPU targets, always returning generic v8 as the preferred
     target

   - Trap forwarding infrastructure for nested virtualization (used for
     traps that are taken from an L2 guest and are needed by the L1
     hypervisor)

   - FEAT_TLBIRANGE support to only invalidate specific ranges of
     addresses when collapsing a table PTE to a block PTE. This avoids
     that the guest refills the TLBs again for addresses that aren't
     covered by the table PTE.

   - Fix vPMU issues related to handling of PMUver.

   - Don't unnecessary align non-stack allocations in the EL2 VA space

   - Drop HCR_VIRT_EXCP_MASK, which was never used...

   - Don't use smp_processor_id() in kvm_arch_vcpu_load(), but the cpu
     parameter instead

   - Drop redundant call to kvm_set_pfn_accessed() in user_mem_abort()

   - Remove prototypes without implementations

  RISC-V:

   - Zba, Zbs, Zicntr, Zicsr, Zifencei, and Zihpm support for guest

   - Added ONE_REG interface for SATP mode

   - Added ONE_REG interface to enable/disable multiple ISA extensions

   - Improved error codes returned by ONE_REG interfaces

   - Added KVM_GET_REG_LIST ioctl() implementation for KVM RISC-V

   - Added get-reg-list selftest for KVM RISC-V

  s390:

   - PV crypto passthrough enablement (Tony, Steffen, Viktor, Janosch)

     Allows a PV guest to use crypto cards. Card access is governed by
     the firmware and once a crypto queue is "bound" to a PV VM every
     other entity (PV or not) looses access until it is not bound
     anymore. Enablement is done via flags when creating the PV VM.

   - Guest debug fixes (Ilya)

  x86:

   - Clean up KVM's handling of Intel architectural events

   - Intel bugfixes

   - Add support for SEV-ES DebugSwap, allowing SEV-ES guests to use
     debug registers and generate/handle #DBs

   - Clean up LBR virtualization code

   - Fix a bug where KVM fails to set the target pCPU during an IRTE
     update

   - Fix fatal bugs in SEV-ES intrahost migration

   - Fix a bug where the recent (architecturally correct) change to
     reinject #BP and skip INT3 broke SEV guests (can't decode INT3 to
     skip it)

   - Retry APIC map recalculation if a vCPU is added/enabled

   - Overhaul emergency reboot code to bring SVM up to par with VMX, tie
     the "emergency disabling" behavior to KVM actually being loaded,
     and move all of the logic within KVM

   - Fix user triggerable WARNs in SVM where KVM incorrectly assumes the
     TSC ratio MSR cannot diverge from the default when TSC scaling is
     disabled up related code

   - Add a framework to allow "caching" feature flags so that KVM can
     check if the guest can use a feature without needing to search
     guest CPUID

   - Rip out the ancient MMU_DEBUG crud and replace the useful bits with
     CONFIG_KVM_PROVE_MMU

   - Fix KVM's handling of !visible guest roots to avoid premature
     triple fault injection

   - Overhaul KVM's page-track APIs, and KVMGT's usage, to reduce the
     API surface that is needed by external users (currently only
     KVMGT), and fix a variety of issues in the process

  Generic:

   - Wrap kvm_{gfn,hva}_range.pte in a union to allow mmu_notifier
     events to pass action specific data without needing to constantly
     update the main handlers.

   - Drop unused function declarations

  Selftests:

   - Add testcases to x86's sync_regs_test for detecting KVM TOCTOU bugs

   - Add support for printf() in guest code and covert all guest asserts
     to use printf-based reporting

   - Clean up the PMU event filter test and add new testcases

   - Include x86 selftests in the KVM x86 MAINTAINERS entry"

KVM/arm64 updates for Linux 6.6

- Add support for TLB range invalidation of Stage-2 page tables,
  avoiding unnecessary invalidations. Systems that do not implement
  range invalidation still rely on a full invalidation when dealing
  with large ranges.

- Add infrastructure for forwarding traps taken from a L2 guest to
  the L1 guest, with L0 acting as the dispatcher, another baby step
  towards the full nested support.

- Simplify the way we deal with the (long deprecated) 'CPU target',
  resulting in a much needed cleanup.

- Fix another set of PMU bugs, both on the guest and host sides,
  as we seem to never have any shortage of those...

- Relax the alignment requirements of EL2 VA allocations for
  non-stack allocations, as we were otherwise wasting a lot of that
  precious VA space.

- The usual set of non-functional cleanups, although I note the lack
  of spelling fixes...

<content type='text'>
KVM is *the* case we know that really wants to honor NUMA hinting falls.
As we want to stop setting FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT implicitly, set
FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT whenever we might obtain pages on behalf of a VCPU
to map them into a secondary MMU, and add a comment why.

Do that unconditionally in hva_to_pfn_slow() when calling
get_user_pages_unlocked().

kvmppc_book3s_instantiate_page(), hva_to_pfn_fast() and
gfn_to_page_many_atomic() are similarly used to map pages into a
secondary MMU. However, FOLL_WRITE and get_user_page_fast_only() always
implicitly honor NUMA hinting faults -- as documented for
FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT -- so we can limit this change to a single location
for now.

Don't set it in check_user_page_hwpoison(), where we really only want to
check if the mapped page is HW-poisoned.

We won't set it for other KVM users of get_user_pages()/pin_user_pages()
* arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_64_mmu_hv.c: not used to map pages into a
  secondary MMU.
* arch/powerpc/kvm/e500_mmu.c: only used on shared TLB pages with userspace
* arch/s390/kvm/*: s390x only supports a single NUMA node either way
* arch/x86/kvm/svm/sev.c: not used to map pages into a secondary MMU.

This is a preparation for making FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT no longer
implicitly be set by get_user_pages() and friends.

<content type='text'>
Wrap kvm_{gfn,hva}_range.pte in a union so that future notifier events can
pass event specific information up and down the stack without needing to
constantly expand and churn the APIs.  Lockless aging of SPTEs will pass
around a bitmap, and support for memory attributes will pass around the
new attributes for the range.

Add a "KVM_NO_ARG" placeholder to simplify handling events without an
argument (creating a dummy union variable is midly annoying).

Opportunstically drop explicit zero-initialization of the "pte" field, as
omitting the field (now a union) has the same effect.
