      KVM: Don't create VM debugfs files outside of the VM directory · a44a4cc1
      Oliver Upton authored
      Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that KVM was able to instantiate a
      debugfs directory for a particular VM. To that end, KVM shouldn't even
      attempt to create new debugfs files in this case. If the specified
      parent dentry is NULL, debugfs_create_file() will instantiate files at
      the root of debugfs.
      
      For arm64, it is possible to create the vgic-state file outside of a
      VM directory, the file is not cleaned up when a VM is destroyed.
      Nonetheless, the corresponding struct kvm is freed when the VM is
      destroyed.
      
      Nip the problem in the bud for all possible errant debugfs file
      creations by initializing kvm->debugfs_dentry to -ENOENT. In so doing,
      debugfs_create_file() will fail instead of creating the file in the root
      directory.

      KVM: selftests: get-reg-list: Add KVM_REG_ARM_FW_REG(3) · 02de9331
      Andrew Jones authored
      When testing a kernel with commit a5905d6a
      
       ("KVM: arm64:
      Allow SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_3 to be discovered and migrated")
      get-reg-list output
      
      vregs: Number blessed registers:   234
      vregs: Number registers:           238
      
      vregs: There are 1 new registers.
      Consider adding them to the blessed reg list with the following lines:
      
      	KVM_REG_ARM_FW_REG(3),
      
      vregs: PASS
      ...
      
      That output inspired two changes: 1) add the new register to the
      blessed list and 2) explain why "Number registers" is actually four
      larger than "Number blessed registers" (on the system used for
      testing), even though only one register is being stated as new.
      The reason is that some registers are host dependent and they get
      filtered out when comparing with the blessed list. The system
      used for the test apparently had three filtered registers.

         - Make the prctl() for enabling dynamic XSTATE components correct so
           it adds the newly requested feature to the permission bitmap
           instead of overwriting it. Add a selftest which validates that.
      
         - Unroll string MMIO for encrypted SEV guests as the hypervisor
           cannot emulate it.
      
         - Handle supervisor states correctly in the FPU/XSTATE code so it
           takes the feature set of the fpstate buffer into account. The
           feature sets can differ between host and guest buffers. Guest
           buffers do not contain supervisor states. So far this was not an
           issue, but with enabling PASID it needs to be handled in the buffer
           offset calculation and in the permission bitmaps.
      
         - Avoid a gazillion of repeated CPUID invocations in by caching the
           values early in the FPU/XSTATE code.
      
         - Enable CONFIG_WERROR in x86 defconfig.
