[PATCH v4 00/13] KVM: arm64: Add support for hypervisor kCFI

["Pierre-Clément Tosi" <ptosi@google.com>]

CONFIG_CFI_CLANG ("kernel Control Flow Integrity") makes the compiler inject
runtime type checks before any indirect function call. On AArch64, it generates
a BRK instruction to be executed on type mismatch and encodes the indices of the
registers holding the branch target and expected type in the immediate of the
instruction. As a result, a synchronous exception gets triggered on kCFI failure
and the fault handler can retrieve the immediate (and indices) from ESR_ELx.

This feature has been supported at EL1 ("host") since it was introduced by
b26e484b8bb3 ("arm64: Add CFI error handling"), where cfi_handler() decodes
ESR_EL1, giving informative panic messages such as

  [   21.885179] CFI failure at lkdtm_indirect_call+0x2c/0x44 [lkdtm]
  (target: lkdtm_increment_int+0x0/0x1c [lkdtm]; expected type: 0x7e0c52a)
  [   21.886593] Internal error: Oops - CFI: 0 [#1] PREEMPT SMP

However, it is not or only partially supported at EL2: in nVHE (or pKVM),
CONFIG_CFI_CLANG gets filtered out at build time, preventing the compiler from
injecting the checks. In VHE, EL2 code gets compiled with the checks but the
handlers in VBAR_EL2 are not aware of kCFI and will produce a generic and
not-so-helpful panic message such as

  [   36.456088][  T200] Kernel panic - not syncing: HYP panic:
  [   36.456088][  T200] PS:204003c9 PC:ffffffc080092310 ESR:f2008228
  [   36.456088][  T200] FAR:0000000081a50000 HPFAR:000000000081a500 PAR:1de7ec7edbadc0de
  [   36.456088][  T200] VCPU:00000000e189c7cf

To address this,

- [01/13] fixes an existing bug where the ELR_EL2 was getting clobbered on
  synchronous exceptions, causing the wrong "PC" to be reported by
  nvhe_hyp_panic_handler() or __hyp_call_panic(). This is particularly limiting
  for kCFI, as it would mask the location of the failed type check.
- [02/13] fixes a minor C/asm ABI mismatch which would trigger a kCFI failure
- [03/13] to [09/13] prepare nVHE for CONFIG_CFI_CLANG and [10/13] enables it
- [11/13] improves kCFI error messages by saving then parsing the CPU context
- [12/13] adds a kCFI test module for VHE and [13/13] extends it to nVHE & pKVM

As a result, an informative kCFI panic message is printed by or on behalf of EL2
giving the expected type and target address (possibly resolved to a symbol) for
VHE, nVHE, and pKVM (iff CONFIG_NVHE_EL2_DEBUG=y).

Note that kCFI errors remain fatal at EL2, even when CONFIG_CFI_PERMISSIVE=y.

Changes in v4:
  - Addressed Will's comments on v3:
  - Removed save/restore of x0-x1 & used __guest_exit_panic ABI for new routines
  - Reworked __pkvm_init_switch_pgd new API with separate args
  - Moved cosmetic changes (renaming to __hyp_panic) into dedicated commit
  - Further clarified the commit message regarding R_AARCH64_ABS32
  - early_brk64() uses esr_is_cfi_brk() (now introduced along esr_brk_comment())
  - Added helper to display nvHE panic banner
  - Moved the test module to the end of the series
