This series backports the fix for a guest-triggerable host NULL pointer
dereference in nested-VMX virtual-APIC handling. The bug is present in 6.1.y
and fixed in 6.6.y and later.

vmx_guest_apic_has_interrupt() tests vmx->nested.virtual_apic_map.gfn to
decide the virtual-APIC page is mapped, then reads through
vmx->nested.virtual_apic_map.hva. kvm_vcpu_unmap() clears .hva but not .gfn,
so after the page is unmapped an L1 guest using virtual-interrupt delivery
passes the .gfn check with .hva == NULL and the host faults reading
NULL + APIC_PROCPRI (CR2 = 0xa0). 96c66e87deee introduced the .gfn check.
The function is still present at 6.1.176.

The upstream fix, 321ef62b0c5f, deletes the function. It carries a stable tag
but did not apply to 6.1.y. The failed-apply notice [1] lists the SEV-SNP
series as a dependency, but that series is not required, and the backport builds
fine without it.

321ef62b0c5f edits the vmx_has_nested_events() body that 27c4fa42b11a adds,
and 27c4fa42b11a calls pi_find_highest_vector() from d83c36d822be. The series
is those three commits in that order. The rest of the June 2024 series is
already in 6.1.y.

Sean asked for the series to be backported rather than kvm_vcpu_unmap()
patched [2].

6.1.y predates the vmx main.c / x86_ops.h split, so patch 3 removes the hook
from vmx_x86_ops in vmx.c. The resulting vmx_has_nested_events() matches
6.6.y. The injection path is unchanged; only the wake path that reached the
dereference changes.

commit d83c36d822be44db4bad0c43bea99c8908f54117 upstream.

Add a helper to retrieve the highest pending vector given a Posted
Interrupt descriptor.  While the actual operation is straightforward, it's
surprisingly easy to mess up, e.g. if one tries to reuse lapic.c's
find_highest_vector(), which doesn't work with PID.PIR due to the APIC's
IRR and ISR component registers being physically discontiguous (they're
4-byte registers aligned at 16-byte intervals).

To make PIR handling more consistent with respect to IRR and ISR handling,
return -1 to indicate "no interrupt pending".

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Medium] The condition `if (max_irr > 0)` incorrectly ignores vector 0, preventing it from being synced to the guest's virtual APIC and leaving the PIR state corrupted.

KVM: nVMX: Add a helper to get highest pending from Posted Interrupt vector

This commit adds a helper to retrieve the highest pending vector given a
Posted Interrupt descriptor. The helper returns -1 to indicate no interrupt
is pending, improving consistency with IRR and ISR handling.

[Severity: Medium]
Does this condition inadvertently skip vector 0?

The commit message states that pi_find_highest_vector() returns -1 to indicate
no interrupt pending, so max_irr can be -1 or 0-255. By checking max_irr > 0,
the code skips processing if vector 0 is the highest pending interrupt.

While vector 0 is an invalid APIC interrupt that hardware typically ignores,
skipping it here means KVM does not call __kvm_apic_update_irr(). As a result,
vector 0 could remain stuck in the PIR array instead of being cleared, which
diverges from the lockless PIR/ON protocol.

Should this condition check for max_irr >= 0 or max_irr != -1 instead?

commit 27c4fa42b11af780d49ce704f7fa67b3c2544df4 upstream.

Check for pending (and notified!) posted interrupts when checking if L2
has a pending wake event, as fully posted/notified virtual interrupt is a
valid wake event for HLT.

Note that KVM must check vmx->nested.pi_pending to avoid prematurely
waking L2, e.g. even if KVM sees a non-zero PID.PIR and PID.0N=1, the
virtual interrupt won't actually be recognized until a notification IRQ is
received by the vCPU or the vCPU does (nested) VM-Enter.

commit 321ef62b0c5f6f57bb8500a2ca5986052675abbf upstream.

Check for a Requested Virtual Interrupt, i.e. a virtual interrupt that is
pending delivery, in vmx_has_nested_events() and drop the one-off
kvm_x86_ops.guest_apic_has_interrupt() hook.

In addition to dropping a superfluous hook, this fixes a bug where KVM
would incorrectly treat virtual interrupts _for L2_ as always enabled due
to kvm_arch_interrupt_allowed(), by way of vmx_interrupt_blocked(),
treating IRQs as enabled if L2 is active and vmcs12 is configured to exit
on IRQs, i.e. KVM would treat a virtual interrupt for L2 as a valid wake
event based on L1's IRQ blocking status.
