handle new exit reasons
To pick the changes in:
885df2d2109a60f8 ("KVM: x86: Add support for RDMSR/WRMSRNS w/ immediate on Intel")
c42856af8f70d983 ("KVM: TDX: Add a place holder for handler of TDX hypercalls (TDG.VP.VMCALL)")
That makes 'perf kvm-stat' aware of these new TDCALL and
MSR_{READ,WRITE}_IMM exit reasons, thus addressing the following perf
build warning:
Warning: Kernel ABI header differences:

To pick the changes in:
b8c3c9f5d0505905 ("x86/apic: Initialize Secure AVIC APIC backing page")
That triggers:

But this time causes no changes in tooling results, as the introduced
SVM_VMGEXIT_SAVIC exit reason wasn't added to SVM_EXIT_REASONS, that is
used in kvm-stat.c.
And addresses this perf build warning:

The minimum supported GCC version is 8.1, which supports flag output operands
and always defines __GCC_ASM_FLAG_OUTPUTS__ macro.
Remove code depending on __GCC_ASM_FLAG_OUTPUTS__ and use the "=@ccCOND" flag
output operand directly.
Use the equivalent "=@ccz" instead of "=@cce" flag output operand for
CMPXCHG8B and CMPXCHG16B instructions. These instructions set a single flag
bit - the Zero flag - and "=@ccz" is used to distinguish the CC user from
comparison instructions, where set ZERO flag indeed means that the values are
equal.

IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES.PEBS_TIMING_INFO[bit 17] is introduced to
indicate whether timed PEBS is supported. Timed PEBS adds a new "retired
latency" field in basic info group to show the timing info. Please find
detailed information about timed PEBS in section 8.4.1 "Timed Processor
Event Based Sampling" of "Intel Architecture Instruction Set Extensions
and Future Features".
This patch adds PERF_CAP_PEBS_TIMING_INFO flag and KVM module leverages
this flag to expose timed PEBS feature to guest.
Moreover, opportunistically refine the indents and make the macros
share consistent indents.

Support decoding AMD's XOP prefix encoded instructions.
These instructions are introduced for Bulldozer micro architecture, and not
supported on Intel's processors. But when compiling kernel with
CONFIG_X86_NATIVE_CPU on some AMD processor (e.g. -march=bdver2), these
instructions can be used.

AMD Cyan Skillfish (Family 17h, Model 47h, Stepping 0h) has an error that
causes RDSEED to always return 0xffffffff, while RDRAND works correctly.
Mask the RDSEED cap for this CPU so that both /proc/cpuinfo and direct CPUID
read report RDSEED as unavailable.

Pull more kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
Generic:
- Clean up locking of all vCPUs for a VM by using the *_nest_lock()
family of functions, and move duplicated code to virt/kvm/. kernel/
patches acked by Peter Zijlstra
- Add MGLRU support to the access tracking perf test
ARM fixes:
- Make the irqbypass hooks resilient to changes in the GSI<->MSI
routing, avoiding behind stale vLPI mappings being left behind. The
fix is to resolve the VGIC IRQ using the host IRQ (which is stable)
and nuking the vLPI mapping upon a routing change
- Close another VGIC race where vCPU creation races with VGIC
creation, leading to in-flight vCPUs entering the kernel w/o
private IRQs allocated
- Fix a build issue triggered by the recently added workaround for
Ampere's AC04_CPU_23 erratum
- Correctly sign-extend the VA when emulating a TLBI instruction
potentially targeting a VNCR mapping
- Avoid dereferencing a NULL pointer in the VGIC debug code, which
can happen if the device doesn't have any mapping yet
s390:
- Fix interaction between some filesystems and Secure Execution
- Some cleanups and refactorings, preparing for an upcoming big

- Refine and harden handling of spurious faults
- Add support for ALLOWED_SEV_FEATURES
- Add #VMGEXIT to the set of handlers special cased for

In commit 2e044911be75 ("x86/traps: Decode 0xEA instructions as #UD")
FineIBT starts using 0xEA as an invalid instruction like UD2. But
insn decoder always returns the length of "0xea" instruction as 7
because it does not check the (i64) superscript.
The x86 instruction decoder should also decode 0xEA on x86-64 as
a one-byte invalid instruction by decoding the "(i64)" superscript tag.
This stops decoding instruction which has (i64) but does not have (o64)
superscript in 64-bit mode at opcode and skips other fields.
With this change, insn_decoder_test says 0xea is 1 byte length if
x86-64 (-y option means 64-bit):
$ printf "0:\tea\t\n" | insn_decoder_test -y -v
insn_decoder_test: success: Decoded and checked 1 instructions

Per the APM [1]:
Some processors, identified by CPUID Fn8000_0008_EBX[IbrsSameMode]
(bit 19) = 1, provide additional speculation limits. For these
processors, when IBRS is set, indirect branch predictions are not
influenced by any prior indirect branches, regardless of mode (CPL
and guest/host) and regardless of whether the prior indirect branches
occurred before or after the setting of IBRS. This is referred to as
Same Mode IBRS.
Define this feature bit, which will be used by KVM to determine if an
IBPB is required on nested VM-exits in SVM.

Whack this thing because:
- the "unknown" handling is done only for this vuln and not for the
others
- it doesn't do anything besides reporting things differently. It
doesn't apply any mitigations - it is simply causing unnecessary
complications to the code which don't bring anything besides
maintenance overhead to what is already a very nasty spaghetti pile
- all the currently unaffected CPUs can also be in "unknown" status so
there's no need for special handling here
so get rid of it.

While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__
automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a
macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel.
This can be very confusing when switching between userspace
and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with UAPI headers that
rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's standardize on
the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers now.
This is mostly a mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i"
statement), with some manual tweaks in <asm/frame.h>, <asm/hw_irq.h>
and <asm/setup.h> that mentioned this macro in comments with some
missing underscores.

With AMD TCE (translation cache extensions) only the intermediate mappings
that cover the address range zapped by INVLPG / INVLPGB get invalidated,
rather than all intermediate mappings getting zapped at every TLB invalidation.
This can help reduce the TLB miss rate, by keeping more intermediate mappings
in the cache.
From the AMD manual:
Translation Cache Extension (TCE) Bit. Bit 15, read/write. Setting this bit to
1 changes how the INVLPG, INVLPGB, and INVPCID instructions operate on TLB
entries. When this bit is 0, these instructions remove the target PTE from the
TLB as well as all upper-level table entries that are cached in the TLB,
whether or not they are associated with the target PTE. When this bit is set,
these instructions will remove the target PTE and only those upper-level
entries that lead to the target PTE in the page table hierarchy, leaving
unrelated upper-level entries intact.

X86_FEATURE_USE_IBPB was introduced in:
2961298efe1e ("x86/cpufeatures: Clean up Spectre v2 related CPUID flags")
to have separate flags for when the CPU supports IBPB (i.e. X86_FEATURE_IBPB)
and when an IBPB is actually used to mitigate Spectre v2.
Ever since then, the uses of IBPB expanded. The name became confusing
because it does not control all IBPB executions in the kernel.
Furthermore, because its name is generic and it's buried within
indirect_branch_prediction_barrier(), it's easy to use it not knowing
that it is specific to Spectre v2.
X86_FEATURE_USE_IBPB is no longer needed because all the IBPB executions
it used to control are now controlled through other means (e.g.
switch_mm_*_ibpb static branches).
Remove the unused feature bit.
