When we switched from doing rdmsr() to reading FS/GS base values from
current->thread we completely forgot about legacy 32-bit userspaces which
we still support in KVM (why?). task->thread.{fsbase,gsbase} are only
synced for 64-bit processes, calling save_fsgs_for_kvm() and using
its result from current is illegal for legacy processes.
There's no ARCH_SET_FS/GS prctls for legacy applications. Base MSRs are,
however, not always equal to zero. Intel's manual says (3.4.4 Segment
Loading Instructions in IA-32e Mode):
"In order to set up compatibility mode for an application, segment-load
instructions (MOV to Sreg, POP Sreg) work normally in 64-bit mode. An
entry is read from the system descriptor table (GDT or LDT) and is loaded
in the hidden portion of the segment register.
...
The hidden descriptor register fields for FS.base and GS.base are
physically mapped to MSRs in order to load all address bits supported by
a 64-bit implementation.
"
The issue was found by strace test suite where 32-bit ioctl_kvm_run test
started segfaulting.

Introduce the 'l1tf=' kernel command line option to allow for boot-time
switching of mitigation that is used on processors affected by L1TF.
The possible values are:
full
Provides all available mitigations for the L1TF vulnerability. Disables
SMT and enables all mitigations in the hypervisors. SMT control via
/sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control is still possible after boot.
Hypervisors will issue a warning when the first VM is started in
a potentially insecure configuration, i.e. SMT enabled or L1D flush
disabled.
full,force
Same as 'full', but disables SMT control. Implies the 'nosmt=force'
command line option. sysfs control of SMT and the hypervisor flush
control is disabled.
flush
Leaves SMT enabled and enables the conditional hypervisor mitigation.
Hypervisors will issue a warning when the first VM is started in a
potentially insecure configuration, i.e. SMT enabled or L1D flush
disabled.
flush,nosmt
Disables SMT and enables the conditional hypervisor mitigation. SMT
control via /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control is still possible
after boot. If SMT is reenabled or flushing disabled at runtime
hypervisors will issue a warning.
flush,nowarn
Same as 'flush', but hypervisors will not warn when
a VM is started in a potentially insecure configuration.
off
Disables hypervisor mitigations and doesn't emit any warnings.
Default is 'flush'.
Let KVM adhere to these semantics, which means:
- 'lt1f=full,force' : Performe L1D flushes. No runtime control
possible.
- 'l1tf=full'
- 'l1tf-flush'
- 'l1tf=flush,nosmt' : Perform L1D flushes and warn on VM start if
SMT has been runtime enabled or L1D flushing
has been run-time enabled
- 'l1tf=flush,nowarn' : Perform L1D flushes and no warnings are emitted.
- 'l1tf=off' : L1D flushes are not performed and no warnings
are emitted.
KVM can always override the L1D flushing behavior using its 'vmentry_l1d_flush'
module parameter except when lt1f=full,force is set.
This makes KVM's private 'nosmt' option redundant, and as it is a bit
non-systematic anyway (this is something to control globally, not on
hypervisor level), remove that option.
Add the missing Documentation entry for the l1tf vulnerability sysfs file

The VMX module parameter to control the L1D flush should become
writeable.
The MSR list is set up at VM init per guest VCPU, but the run time
switching is based on a static key which is global. Toggling the MSR list
at run time might be feasible, but for now drop this optimization and use
the regular MSR write to make run-time switching possible.
The default mitigation is the conditional flush anyway, so for extra
paranoid setups this will add some small overhead, but the extra code
executed is in the noise compared to the flush itself.
Aside of that the EPT disabled case is not handled correctly at the moment
and the MSR list magic is in the way for fixing that as well.
If it's really providing a significant advantage, then this needs to be
revisited after the code is correct and the control is writable.

- Conditionally at:

- From the sched_in notifier, i.e. when switching to a vCPU thread.
- From vmexit handlers which are considered unsafe, i.e. where

- The emulator, which could be a good target for other speculative

- The MMU, which can bring host page tables in the L1 cache.

The semantics of this MSR is to allow "finer granularity invalidation of
caching structures than existing mechanisms like WBINVD. It will writeback
and invalidate the L1 data cache, including all cachelines brought in by
preceding instructions, without invalidating all caches (eg. L2 or
LLC). Some processors may also invalidate the first level level instruction
cache on a L1D_FLUSH command. The L1 data and instruction caches may be
shared across the logical processors of a core."
Use it instead of the loop based L1 flush algorithm.

If the L1TF CPU bug is present we allow the KVM module to be loaded as the
major of users that use Linux and KVM have trusted guests and do not want a
broken setup.
Cloud vendors are the ones that are uncomfortable with CVE 2018-3620 and as
such they are the ones that should set nosmt to one.
Setting 'nosmt' means that the system administrator also needs to disable
SMT (Hyper-threading) in the BIOS, or via the 'nosmt' command line
parameter, or via the /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control. See commit
05736e4ac1 ("cpu/hotplug: Provide knobs to control SMT").
Other mitigations are to use task affinity, cpu sets, interrupt binding,
etc - anything to make sure that _only_ the same guests vCPUs are running

This patch extends the checks done prior to a nested VM entry.
Specifically, it extends the check_vmentry_prereqs function with checks
for fields relevant to the VM-entry event injection information, as
described in the Intel SDM, volume 3.
This patch is motivated by a syzkaller bug, where a bad VM-entry
interruption information field is generated in the VMCS02, which causes
the nested VM launch to fail. Then, KVM fails to resume L1.
While KVM should be improved to correctly resume L1 execution after a
failed nested launch, this change is justified because the existing code
to resume L1 is flaky/ad-hoc and the test coverage for resuming L1 is
sparse.

'Commit d0659d946b ("KVM: x86: add option to advance tscdeadline

by hypervisor (apic_timer_fn -> vmentry) can be avoided. This patch
adds the advance tscdeadline expiration support to which the tscdeadline
timer is emulated by VMX preemption timer to reduce the hypervisor
lantency (handle_preemption_timer -> vmentry). The guest can also
set an expiration that is very small (for example in Linux if an
hrtimer feeds a expiration in the past); in that case we set delta_tsc
to 0, leading to an immediately vmexit when delta_tsc is not bigger than
advance ns.

x86/speculation: Simplify the CPU bug detection logic
KVM/VMX: Expose SSBD properly to guests
Pull KVM fixes from Radim Krčmář:
"PPC:
- Close a hole which could possibly lead to the host timebase getting
out of sync.
- Three fixes relating to PTEs and TLB entries for radix guests.
- Fix a bug which could lead to an interrupt never getting delivered
to the guest, if it is pending for a guest vCPU when the vCPU gets
offlined.
s390:
- Fix false negatives in VSIE validity check (Cc stable)
x86:
- Fix time drift of VMX preemption timer when a guest uses LAPIC
timer in periodic mode (Cc stable)
- Unconditionally expose CPUID.IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES to allow
migration from hosts that don't need retpoline mitigation (Cc
stable)
- Fix guest crashes on reboot by properly coupling CR4.OSXSAVE and
CPUID.OSXSAVE (Cc stable)
- Report correct RIP after Hyper-V hypercall #UD (introduced in
-rc6)"

We need a new capability to indicate support for the newly added
HvFlushVirtualAddress{List,Space}{,Ex} hypercalls. Upon seeing this
capability, userspace is supposed to announce PV TLB flush features
by setting the appropriate CPUID bits (if needed).
