2026-07-31KVM: Check for duplicate vcpu_id as early as possibleDmytro Maluka1-0/+1
If userspace tries to create a vCPU with the same vcpu_id as an existing one, kvm_vm_ioctl_create_vcpu() checks for that and fails with -EEXIST only after it already created the vCPU via kvm_arch_vcpu_create(). As a result, even though this newly created vCPU is destroyed in the failure path, the fact that it is temporarily created with an invalid vcpu_id and that there are temporarily two vCPUs with the same vcpu_id is a potential source of subtle issues. In particular, this prevents fixing an VMX IPIv issue where a stale entry left in the VM's PI descriptor table after the vCPU is destroyed in the failure path. The right way to fix that issue is to clear that entry when destroying the vCPU, however right now that would have a nasty side effect: since the same entry is used for the other, previously created vCPU with same vcpu_id, clearing it would mean effectively disabling IPIv for that existing good vCPU. So to avoid this and similar problems, check for duplicate vcpu_id as early in the vCPU creation path as possible, before kvm_arch_vcpu_create() and even before kvm_arch_vcpu_precreate(). Simply moving the existing kvm_get_vcpu_by_id() check earlier doesn't work, as kvm->lock is dropped and reacquired, i.e. moving kvm_get_vcpu_by_id() would introduce a race: 1. vCPU A is being created but not installed in kvm->vcpu_array yet. 2. vCPU B with the same vcpu_id is being created. It passes the duplicated vcpu_id check, since the check doesn't find vCPU A in kvm->vcpu_array. 3. vCPU A is installed in kvm->vcpu_array, vCPU creation succeeds. 4. vCPU B with the same vcpu_id is installed in kvm->vcpu_array, vCPU creation succeeds. So introduce the bitmap of vcpu_ids used by the VM, in order to safely check if the given vcpu_id is used and mark is as used before releasing kvm->lock first time. Alternatively, KVM could use another Xarray[*] for roughly the same code complexity, which would minimize KVM's steady state memory footprint at the cost of higher runtime latency (to allocate and free entries). Given that the worst case scenario is 256 bytes per-VM (on x86, which allows up to 16KiB vCPU IDs), go with the slightly simpler approach until there's a need to save memory.

2026-07-28KVM: nSVM: Add CLASS()es for automagically handling local kvm_vcpu_map() usageSean Christopherson1-0/+19
Add CLASS() definitions for locally mapping a PFN using kvm_vcpu_map() given a vCPU+gfn pair. In addition to eliminating the need to manually do unmap(), e.g. in error paths, this will allow hardening KVM against double-mapping without having to manually ensure every on-stack declaration is zero-initialized. Use "map local" as the primary terminology as the basic concept is more or less the same as kmap_local(): ensure the current context has a kernel mapping to the underlying memory. Immediately convert the relatively straightforward nested SVM flows, and defer converting the more involved SMM flows to a separate change. No functional change intended.

2026-07-27KVM: guest_memfd: Explicitly pass number of pages to make_private() hookSean Christopherson1-1/+1
Tweak the guest_memfd make_private() hook to explicitly pass the number of pages to align with the signature of the make_shared() hook, and because the existing code is outright broken if a guest_memfd folio is comprised of more than one page (which can't happen, yet). The SNP code *tries* to create a corresponding huge entry, but if the RMP must use 4KiB entries for whatever reason, KVM will only convert the first pfn, and not the entire range of pfns that will be mapped into the guest. Alternatively, @max_order could simply be repurposed as _the_ @order, but that will fall apart when in-place conversion comes along, at which point KVM will need to deal with conversions that aren't bound 1:1 to a folio. I.e. the number of pages to convert may not be exactly a power-of-2 (and folios don't strictly guarantee power-of-2 pages anyways). WARN in the SNP code if the number of pages to prepare is anything other than '1', i.e. if guest_memfd is trying to prepare/convert more than a single 4KiB page, as sev_gmem_prepare() doesn't actually handle conversion greater than order-0 folios. Opportunistically swap the ordering of @pfn and @gfn params for kvm_x86_ops.gmem_make_private() to match kvm_arch_gmem_make_private().

Rework guest_memfd's prepare() hook into a more accurate make_private(), and rework its Kconfig from PREPARE to a more generic CONVERT. This will allow x86 to share (pun intended) a kvm_x86_ops.gmem_make_shared() hook between the "convert to shared" and "reclaim" flows, which are one and the same for SNP.

2026-07-27KVM: guest_memfd: Rename invalidate() arch hook to reclaim() and isolate itSean Christopherson1-1/+4
Rename guest_memfd's invalidate() hook to reclaim() and isolate it via its own RECLAIM Kconfig, as the hook is called when a folio is freed, which is far too late and lacks sufficient information for KVM to actually invalidate its usage of the memory. E.g. SNP uses the hook to convert memory back to SHARED so that it can be safely accessed by the host, there is no invalidation of guest mappings anywhere. Isolating the hook will also allow pKVM on arm64 to opt-in to reclaim() without also having to differentiate between reclaim and conversions to shared for active VMs. Keep guest_memfd's trampoline, even though it would be trivial to wire up .free_folio() directly to an arch callback, to avoid bleeding guest_memfd internals into arch code (specifically, avoid referencing folios in arch code). Leave the kvm_x86_ops hook as-is for the moment, as "reclaim" on SNP is the same as convert-to-shared, i.e. using a different name for the x86 hook will allow reusing it for in-place conversion.

2026-07-27KVM: guest_memfd: Pass the number of pages instead of the end pfn into ↵Sean Christopherson1-1/+1
.invalidate() Pass the number of pages to "invalidate", i.e. reclaim, instead of the end pfn, as a first step towards aligning the function prototypes between the de facto "to private" and "to shared" arch hooks. Eventually, the goal is to end up with kvm_gmem_arch_make_{private,shared}(), and in both cases, providing the number of pages makes the call sites slightly nicer, and also avoids any confusion over whether the end pfn is inclusive or exclusive. Opportunistically rename "start" to "pfn", again to align with the expected signature of make_private() (which needs to pass a starting gfn as well, at which point the "start" becomes noise).

2026-07-10KVM: SEV: Forcefully invalidate SNP VMSA if its backing gmem page is zappedSean Christopherson1-0/+1
Wire up a gmem_invalidate_range() call for SNP VMs, and use it to force vCPUs to reload/recheck their guest-provided VMSA if the backing gmem page is being invalidated, e.g. is being PUNCH_HOLE'd. Use the same core logic to handle invalidations as VMX does for the APIC-access page, as the two concepts are nearly identical: shove the physical address of a page into the vCPU's control structure: 1. Snapshot the invalidation sequence counter 2. Grab the pfn (from guest_memfd in this case) 3. Acquire mmu_lock for read 4. Re-request reload if retry is needed, otherwise commit the change. Note, the re-request action in #4 is necessary as KVM's retry logic is fuzzy, i.e. can get false positives. If the guest_memfd page has been dropped, at some point a subsequent reload will fail to get a PFN from guest_memfd, and KVM will fail KVM_RUN. If the retry was due to a false positive, KVM will retry until there are no relevant MMU notifier events (and will retry in the "outer" loop, i.e. will drop locks and resched as needed). Note #2! Take care to invalidate the VMSA when a relevant memslot is DELETED or MOVED, as invalidations in response to PUNCH_HOLE are predicated on memslot bindings (KVM doesn't know what GFN range(s) to invalidate without a binding). And more importantly, the VMSA mapping requires a memslot, i.e. must be invalidated if its memslots disappears, regardless of the state of the underlying guest_memfd inode. Failure to invalidate the vCPU's control.vmsa_pa (which is checked by pre_sev_run()) can prevent KVM from properly freeing the page as firmware will reject the RMPUPDATE to reclaim the page with FAIL_INUSE if the vCPU is actively running, i.e. if VMSA page is in-use. That in turn leads to an RMP #PF on the next use, as the page will still be assigned to the SNP VM.

2026-06-16KVM: x86/mmu: Ensure hugepage is in by slot before checking max mapping levelSean Christopherson1-1/+6
When recovering hugepages in the shadow MMU, verify that the base gfn of the shadow page is actually contained within the target memslot, *before* querying the max mapping level given the shadow page's gfn. Failure to pre-check the validity of the gfn can lead to an out-of-bounds access to the slot's lpage_info (which typically manifests as a host #PF because the lpage_info is vmalloc'd) if the guest creates a hugepage mapping (in its PTEs) that extends "below" the bounds of a memslot. When faulting in memory for a guest, and the size of the guest mapping is greater than KVM's (current) max mapping, then KVM will create a "direct" shadow page (direct in that there are no gPTEs to shadow, and so the target gfn is a direct calculation given the base gfn of the shadow page). The hugepage recovery flow looks for such direct shadow pages, as forcing 4KiB mappings when dirty logging generates the guest > host mapping size case. When the 4KiB restriction is lifted, then KVM can replace the shadow page with a hugepage. But if KVM originally used a smaller mapping than the guest because the range of memory covered by the guest hugepage exceeds the bounds of a memslot, then KVM will link a direct shadow page with a gfn that is outside the bounds of the memslot being used to fault in memory. The rmap entry added for the leaf mapping is correct and within bounds, but the gfn of the leaf SPTE's parent shadow page will be out of bounds.

When populating a guest_memfd instance with the initial CPUID data for an SNP guest, acquire a writable pin on the source page as KVM will write back the "correct" CPUID information if the userspace provided data is rejected by trusted firmware. Because KVM writes to the source page using a kernel mapping, pinning for read could result in KVM clobbering read-only memory. Note, well-behaved VMMs are unlikely to be affected, as CPUID information is almost always dynamically generated by userspace, i.e. it's unlikely for the CPUID information to be backed by a read-only mapping.

Rename kvm_mmu_invalidate_begin() to kvm_mmu_invalidate_start() to align with mmu_notifier_ops.invalidate_range_start(), which is the callback that ultimately drives KVM's MMU invalidation. While the naming within KVM itself is a close split between "_begin" and "_start": $ git grep -E "invalidate(_range)?_begin" **/kvm* | wc -l 12 $ git grep -E "invalidate(_range)?_start" **/kvm* | wc -l 21 All two of the begin() uses are in KVM: $ git grep -E "invalidate(_range)?_begin" * | wc -l 14 And those two holdouts are bugs in invalidate_range_start()'s comment, i.e. will also be fixed sooner or later[*].

KVM SVM changes for 7.1 - Fix and optimize IRQ window inhibit handling for AVIC (the tracking needs to be per-vCPU, e.g. so that KVM doesn't prematurely re-enable AVIC if multiple vCPUs have to-be-injected IRQs). - Fix an undefined behavior warning where a crafty userspace can read the "avic" module param before it's fully initialized. - Fix a (likely benign) bug in the "OS-visible workarounds" handling, where KVM could clobber state when enabling virtualization on multiple CPUs in parallel, and clean up and optimize the code. - Drop a WARN in KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION where KVM complains about a "too large" size based purely on user input, and clean up and harden the related pinning code. - Disallow synchronizing a VMSA of an already-launched/encrypted vCPU, as doing so for an SNP guest will trigger an RMP violation #PF and crash the host. - Protect all of sev_mem_enc_register_region() with kvm->lock to ensure sev_guest() is stable for the entire of the function. - Lock all vCPUs when synchronizing VMSAs for SNP guests to ensure the VMSA page isn't actively being used. - Overhaul KVM's APIs for detecting SEV+ guests so that VM-scoped queries are required to hold kvm->lock (KVM has had multiple bugs due "is SEV?" checks becoming stale), enforced by lockdep. Add and use vCPU-scoped APIs when possible/appropriate, as all checks that originate from a vCPU are guaranteed to be stable. - Convert a pile of kvm->lock SEV code to guard().

KVM x86 VMXON and EFER.SVME extraction for 7.1 Move _only_ VMXON+VMXOFF and EFER.SVME toggling out of KVM (versus all of VMX and SVM enabling) out of KVM and into the core kernel so that non-KVM TDX enabling, e.g. for trusted I/O, can make SEAMCALLs without needing to ensure KVM is fully loaded. TIO isn't a hypervisor, and isn't trying to be a hypervisor. Specifically, TIO should _never_ have it's own VMCSes (that are visible to the host; the TDX-Module has it's own VMCSes to do SEAMCALL/SEAMRET), and so there is simply no reason to move that functionality out of KVM. With that out of the way, dealing with VMXON/VMXOFF and EFER.SVME is a fairly simple refcounting game.

2026-04-03KVM: SEV: Disallow LAUNCH_FINISH if vCPUs are actively being createdSean Christopherson1-0/+7
Reject LAUNCH_FINISH for SEV-ES and SNP VMs if KVM is actively creating one or more vCPUs, as KVM needs to process and encrypt each vCPU's VMSA. Letting userspace create vCPUs while LAUNCH_FINISH is in-progress is "fine", at least in the current code base, as kvm_for_each_vcpu() operates on online_vcpus, LAUNCH_FINISH (all SEV+ sub-ioctls) holds kvm->mutex, and fully onlining a vCPU in kvm_vm_ioctl_create_vcpu() is done under kvm->mutex. I.e. there's no difference between an in-progress vCPU and a vCPU that is created entirely after LAUNCH_FINISH. However, given that concurrent LAUNCH_FINISH and vCPU creation can't possibly work (for any reasonable definition of "work"), since userspace can't guarantee whether a particular vCPU will be encrypted or not, disallow the combination as a hardening measure, to reduce the probability of introducing bugs in the future, and to avoid having to reason about the safety of future changes related to LAUNCH_FINISH.

2026-03-02KVM: x86: Use scratch field in MMIO fragment to hold small write valuesSean Christopherson1-1/+2
When exiting to userspace to service an emulated MMIO write, copy the to-be-written value to a scratch field in the MMIO fragment if the size of the data payload is 8 bytes or less, i.e. can fit in a single chunk, instead of pointing the fragment directly at the source value. This fixes a class of use-after-free bugs that occur when the emulator initiates a write using an on-stack, local variable as the source, the write splits a page boundary, *and* both pages are MMIO pages. Because KVM's ABI only allows for physically contiguous MMIO requests, accesses that split MMIO pages are separated into two fragments, and are sent to userspace one at a time. When KVM attempts to complete userspace MMIO in response to KVM_RUN after the first fragment, KVM will detect the second fragment and generate a second userspace exit, and reference the on-stack variable. The issue is most visible if the second KVM_RUN is performed by a separate task, in which case the stack of the initiating task can show up as truly freed data. ================================================================== BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in complete_emulated_mmio+0x305/0x420 Read of size 1 at addr ffff888009c378d1 by task syz-executor417/984 CPU: 1 PID: 984 Comm: syz-executor417 Not tainted 5.10.0-182.0.0.95.h2627.eulerosv2r13.x86_64 #3 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS rel-1.15.0-0-g2dd4b9b3f840-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014 Call Trace: dump_stack+0xbe/0xfd print_address_description.constprop.0+0x19/0x170 __kasan_report.cold+0x6c/0x84 kasan_report+0x3a/0x50 check_memory_region+0xfd/0x1f0 memcpy+0x20/0x60 complete_emulated_mmio+0x305/0x420 kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0x63f/0x6d0 kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x413/0xb20 __se_sys_ioctl+0x111/0x160 do_syscall_64+0x30/0x40 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x67/0xd1 RIP: 0033:0x42477d Code: <48> 3d 01 f0 ff ff 73 01 c3 48 c7 c1 b0 ff ff ff f7 d8 64 89 01 48 RSP: 002b:00007faa8e6890e8 EFLAGS: 00000246 ORIG_RAX: 0000000000000010 RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 00000000004d7338 RCX: 000000000042477d RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 000000000000ae80 RDI: 0000000000000005 RBP: 00000000004d7330 R08: 00007fff28d546df R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000246 R12: 00000000004d733c R13: 0000000000000000 R14: 000000000040a200 R15: 00007fff28d54720 The buggy address belongs to the page: page:0000000029f6a428 refcount:0 mapcount:0 mapping:0000000000000000 index:0x0 pfn:0x9c37 flags: 0xfffffc0000000(node=0|zone=1|lastcpupid=0x1fffff) raw: 000fffffc0000000 0000000000000000 ffffea0000270dc8 0000000000000000 raw: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00000000ffffffff 0000000000000000 page dumped because: kasan: bad access detected Memory state around the buggy address: ffff888009c37780: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ffff888009c37800: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff >ffff888009c37880: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ^ ffff888009c37900: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ffff888009c37980: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ================================================================== The bug can also be reproduced with a targeted KVM-Unit-Test by hacking KVM to fill a large on-stack variable in complete_emulated_mmio(), i.e. by overwrite the data value with garbage. Limit the use of the scratch fields to 8-byte or smaller accesses, and to just writes, as larger accesses and reads are not affected thanks to implementation details in the emulator, but add a sanity check to ensure those details don't change in the future. Specifically, KVM never uses on-stack variables for accesses larger that 8 bytes, e.g. uses an operand in the emulator context, and *all* reads are buffered through the mem_read cache. Note! Using the scratch field for reads is not only unnecessary, it's also extremely difficult to handle correctly. As above, KVM buffers all reads through the mem_read cache, and heavily relies on that behavior when re-emulating the instruction after a userspace MMIO read exit. If a read splits a page, the first page is NOT an MMIO page, and the second page IS an MMIO page, then the MMIO fragment needs to point at _just_ the second chunk of the destination, i.e. its position in the mem_read cache. Taking the "obvious" approach of copying the fragment value into the destination when re-emulating the instruction would clobber the first chunk of the destination, i.e. would clobber the data that was read from guest memory.

KVM mediated PMU support for 6.20 Add support for mediated PMUs, where KVM gives the guest full ownership of PMU hardware (contexted switched around the fastpath run loop) and allows direct access to data MSRs and PMCs (restricted by the vPMU model), but intercepts access to control registers, e.g. to enforce event filtering and to prevent the guest from profiling sensitive host state. To keep overall complexity reasonable, mediated PMU usage is all or nothing for a given instance of KVM (controlled via module param). The Mediated PMU is disabled default, partly to maintain backwards compatilibity for existing setup, partly because there are tradeoffs when running with a mediated PMU that may be non-starters for some use cases, e.g. the host loses the ability to profile guests with mediated PMUs, the fastpath run loop is also a blind spot, entry/exit transitions are more expensive, etc. Versus the emulated PMU, where KVM is "just another perf user", the mediated PMU delivers more accurate profiling and monitoring (no risk of contention and thus dropped events), with significantly less overhead (fewer exits and faster emulation/programming of event selectors) E.g. when running Specint-2017 on a single-socket Sapphire Rapids with 56 cores and no-SMT, and using perf from within the guest: Perf command: a. basic-sampling: perf record -F 1000 -e 6-instructions -a --overwrite b. multiplex-sampling: perf record -F 1000 -e 10-instructions -a --overwrite Guest performance overhead: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Test case | emulated vPMU | all passthrough | passthrough with | | | | | event filters | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | basic-sampling | 33.62% | 4.24% | 6.21% | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | multiplex-sampling | 79.32% | 7.34% | 10.45% | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The deferred updates approach directly contributed to several bugs, was proving to be a maintenance burden due to the difficulty in auditing the correctness of deferred updates, and was polluting "struct nested_vmx" with a growing pile of booleans. - Handle "hardware APIC ISR", a.k.a. SVI, updates in kvm_apic_update_apicv() to consolidate the updates, and to co-locate SVI updates with the updates for KVM's own cache of ISR information. - Drop a dead function declaration.

Stop using the userspace address to mark the guest page dirty. mark_page_dirty() expects a guest frame number, but was being passed a host virtual frame number.

Fix by adding two fields in struct kvm_s390_adapter_int to keep the guest addressses, and use those for mark_page_dirty().

2026-01-15KVM: guest_memfd: GUP source pages prior to populating guest memoryMichael Roth1-2/+2
Currently the post-populate callbacks handle copying source pages into private GPA ranges backed by guest_memfd, where kvm_gmem_populate() acquires the filemap invalidate lock, then calls a post-populate callback which may issue a get_user_pages() on the source pages prior to copying them into the private GPA (e.g. TDX). This will not be compatible with in-place conversion, where the userspace page fault path will attempt to acquire the filemap invalidate lock while holding the mm->mmap_lock, leading to a potential ABBA deadlock. Address this by hoisting the GUP above the filemap invalidate lock so that these page faults path can be taken early, prior to acquiring the filemap invalidate lock. It's not currently clear whether this issue is reachable with the current implementation of guest_memfd, which doesn't support in-place conversion, however it does provide a consistent mechanism to provide stable source/target PFNs to callbacks rather than punting to vendor-specific code, which allows for more commonality across architectures, which may be worthwhile even without in-place conversion. As part of this change, also begin enforcing that the 'src' argument to kvm_gmem_populate() must be page-aligned, as this greatly reduces the complexity around how the post-populate callbacks are implemented, and since no current in-tree users support using a non-page-aligned 'src' argument.

2026-01-15KVM: guest_memfd: Remove partial hugepage handling from kvm_gmem_populate()Michael Roth1-1/+1
kvm_gmem_populate(), and the associated post-populate callbacks, have some limited support for dealing with guests backed by hugepages by passing the order information along to each post-populate callback and iterating through the pages passed to kvm_gmem_populate() in hugepage-chunks. However, guest_memfd doesn't yet support hugepages, and in most cases additional changes in the kvm_gmem_populate() path would also be needed to actually allow for this functionality. This makes the existing code unnecessarily complex, and makes changes difficult to work through upstream due to theoretical impacts on hugepage support that can't be considered properly without an actual hugepage implementation to reference. So for now, remove what's there so changes for things like in-place conversion can be implemented/reviewed more efficiently.

Once x86 uses the API, providing a stub for one architecture and having all other architectures opt-in requires more code than simply implementing the API in the lone holdout. Eliminating the Kconfig will also reduce churn if the API is renamed in the future (spoiler alert). No functional change intended.

KVM x86 fixes for 6.18: - Expand the KVM_PRE_FAULT_MEMORY selftest to add a regression test for the bug fixed by commit 3ccbf6f47098 ("KVM: x86/mmu: Return -EAGAIN if userspace deletes/moves memslot during prefault") - Don't try to get PMU capabbilities from perf when running a CPU with hybrid CPUs/PMUs, as perf will rightly WARN. - Rework KVM_CAP_GUEST_MEMFD_MMAP (newly introduced in 6.18) into a more generic KVM_CAP_GUEST_MEMFD_FLAGS - Add a guest_memfd INIT_SHARED flag and require userspace to explicitly set said flag to initialize memory as SHARED, irrespective of MMAP. The behavior merged in 6.18 is that enabling mmap() implicitly initializes memory as SHARED, which would result in an ABI collision for x86 CoCo VMs as their memory is currently always initialized PRIVATE. - Allow mmap() on guest_memfd for x86 CoCo VMs, i.e. on VMs with private memory, to enable testing such setups, i.e. to hopefully flush out any other lurking ABI issues before 6.18 is officially released. - Add testcases to the guest_memfd selftest to cover guest_memfd without MMAP, and host userspace accesses to mmap()'d private memory.
2025-10-10KVM: guest_memfd: Allow mmap() on guest_memfd for x86 VMs with private memorySean Christopherson1-1/+11
Allow mmap() on guest_memfd instances for x86 VMs with private memory as the need to track private vs. shared state in the guest_memfd instance is only pertinent to INIT_SHARED. Doing mmap() on private memory isn't terrible useful (yet!), but it's now possible, and will be desirable when guest_memfd gains support for other VMA-based syscalls, e.g. mbind() to set NUMA policy. Lift the restriction now, before MMAP support is officially released, so that KVM doesn't need to add another capability to enumerate support for mmap() on private memory.

2025-09-30entry/kvm: KVM: Move KVM details related to signal/-EINTR into KVM properSean Christopherson1-1/+12
Move KVM's morphing of pending signals into userspace exits into KVM proper, and drop the @vcpu param from xfer_to_guest_mode_handle_work(). How KVM responds to -EINTR is a detail that really belongs in KVM itself, and invoking kvm_handle_signal_exit() from kernel code creates an inverted module dependency. E.g. attempting to move kvm_handle_signal_exit() into kvm_main.c would generate an linker error when building kvm.ko as a module. Dropping KVM details will also converting the KVM "entry" code into a more generic virtualization framework so that it can be used when running as a Hyper-V root partition. Lastly, eliminating usage of "struct kvm_vcpu" outside of KVM is also nice to have for KVM x86 developers, as keeping the details of kvm_vcpu purely within KVM allows changing the layout of the structure without having to boot into a new kernel, e.g. allows rebuilding and reloading kvm.ko with a modified kvm_vcpu structure as part of debug/development.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvmarm/kvmarm into HEAD 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.

Device MMIO registration may happen quite frequently during VM boot, and the SRCU synchronization each time has a measurable effect on VM startup time. In our experiments it can account for around 25% of a VM's startup time. Replace the synchronization with a deferred free of the old kvm_io_bus structure.

This ensures that, if a VCPU has "observed" that an IO registration has occurred, the instruction currently being trapped or emulated will also observe the IO registration. At the same time, enforce that kvm_get_bus() is used only on the update side, ensuring that a long-term reference cannot be obtained by an SRCU reader.

2025-08-27KVM: guest_memfd: Track guest_memfd mmap support in memslotFuad Tabba1-1/+10
Add a new internal flag, KVM_MEMSLOT_GMEM_ONLY, to the top half of memslot->flags (which makes it strictly for KVM's internal use). This flag tracks when a guest_memfd-backed memory slot supports host userspace mmap operations, which implies that all memory, not just private memory for CoCo VMs, is consumed through guest_memfd: "gmem only". This optimization avoids repeatedly checking the underlying guest_memfd file for mmap support, which would otherwise require taking and releasing a reference on the file for each check. By caching this information directly in the memslot, we reduce overhead and simplify the logic involved in handling guest_memfd-backed pages for host mappings.

2025-08-27KVM: guest_memfd: Add plumbing to host to map guest_memfd pagesFuad Tabba1-0/+4
Introduce the core infrastructure to enable host userspace to mmap() guest_memfd-backed memory. This is needed for several evolving KVM use cases: * Non-CoCo VM backing: Allows VMMs like Firecracker to run guests entirely backed by guest_memfd, even for non-CoCo VMs [1]. This provides a unified memory management model and simplifies guest memory handling. * Direct map removal for enhanced security: This is an important step for direct map removal of guest memory [2]. By allowing host userspace to fault in guest_memfd pages directly, we can avoid maintaining host kernel direct maps of guest memory. This provides additional hardening against Spectre-like transient execution attacks by removing a potential attack surface within the kernel. * Future guest_memfd features: This also lays the groundwork for future enhancements to guest_memfd, such as supporting huge pages and enabling in-place sharing of guest memory with the host for CoCo platforms that permit it [3]. Enable the basic mmap and fault handling logic within guest_memfd, but hold off on allow userspace to actually do mmap() until the architecture support is also in place.

2025-08-27KVM: x86: Enable KVM_GUEST_MEMFD for all 64-bit buildsFuad Tabba1-7/+2
Enable KVM_GUEST_MEMFD for all KVM x86 64-bit builds, i.e. for "default" VM types when running on 64-bit KVM. This will allow using guest_memfd to back non-private memory for all VM shapes, by supporting mmap() on guest_memfd. Opportunistically clean up various conditionals that become tautologies once x86 selects KVM_GUEST_MEMFD more broadly. Specifically, because SW protected VMs, SEV, and TDX are all 64-bit only, private memory no longer needs to take explicit dependencies on KVM_GUEST_MEMFD, because it is effectively a prerequisite.
