x86/vmware: Fix hypercall clobbers
Fedora QA reported the following panic:
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 0000000040003e54
#PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode
#PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page
Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS edk2-20251119-3.fc43 11/19/2025
RIP: 0010:vmware_hypercall4.constprop.0+0x52/0x90
..
Call Trace:
vmmouse_report_events+0x13e/0x1b0
psmouse_handle_byte+0x15/0x60
ps2_interrupt+0x8a/0xd0
...
because the QEMU VMware mouse emulation is buggy, and clears the top 32
bits of %rdi that the kernel kept a pointer in.
The QEMU vmmouse driver saves and restores the register state in a
"uint32_t data[6];" and as a result restores the state with the high
bits all cleared.
RDI originally contained the value of a valid kernel stack address
(0xff5eeb3240003e54). After the vmware hypercall it now contains
0x40003e54, and we get a page fault as a result when it is dereferenced.
The proper fix would be in QEMU, but this works around the issue in the
kernel to keep old setups working, when old kernels had not happened to
keep any state in %rdi over the hypercall.
In theory this same issue exists for all the hypercalls in the vmmouse
driver; in practice it has only been seen with vmware_hypercall3() and
vmware_hypercall4(). For now, just mark RDI/RSI as clobbered for those
two calls. This should have a minimal effect on code generation overall
as it should be rare for the compiler to want to make RDI/RSI live
across hypercalls.

Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm
Pull KVM fixes from Paolo Bonzini:
- Fix a bug where AVIC is incorrectly inhibited when running with
x2AVIC disabled via module param (or on a system without x2AVIC)
- Fix a dangling device posted IRQs bug by explicitly checking if the
irqfd is still active (on the list) when handling an eventfd signal,
instead of zeroing the irqfd's routing information when the irqfd is
deassigned.
Zeroing the irqfd's routing info causes arm64 and x86's to not
disable posting for the IRQ (kvm_arch_irq_bypass_del_producer() looks
for an MSI), incorrectly leaving the IRQ in posted mode (and leading
to use-after-free and memory leaks on AMD in particular).
This is both the most pressing and scariest, but it's been in -next
for a while.
- Disable FORTIFY_SOURCE for KVM selftests to prevent the compiler from
generating calls to the checked versions of memset() and friends,
which leads to unexpected page faults in guest code due e.g.
__memset_chk@plt not being resolved.
- Explicitly configure the supported XSS capabilities from within
{svm,vmx}_set_cpu_caps() to fix a bug where VMX will compute the
reference VMCS configuration with SHSTK and IBT enabled, but then
compute each CPUs local config with SHSTK and IBT disabled if not all
CET xfeatures are enabled, e.g. if the kernel is built with
X86_KERNEL_IBT=n.
The mismatch in features results in differing nVMX setting, and
ultimately causes kvm-intel.ko to refuse to load with nested=1.
