Query supported_xcr0 when checking for MPX support instead of invoking
->mpx_supported() and drop ->mpx_supported() as kvm_mpx_supported() was
its last user. Rename vmx_mpx_supported() to cpu_has_vmx_mpx() to
better align with VMX/VMCS nomenclature.
Modify VMX's adjustment of xcr0 to call cpus_has_vmx_mpx() (renamed from

it's fully configured.

Allocate the emulation context instead of embedding it in struct
kvm_vcpu_arch.
Dynamic allocation provides several benefits:
- Shrinks the size x86 vcpus by ~2.5k bytes, dropping them back below
the PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER threshold.
- Allows for dropping the include of kvm_emulate.h from asm/kvm_host.h
and moving kvm_emulate.h into KVM's private directory.
- Allows a reducing KVM's attack surface by shrinking the amount of
vCPU data that is exposed to usercopy.
- Allows a future patch to disable the emulator entirely, which may or
may not be a realistic endeavor.
Mark the entire struct as valid for usercopy to maintain existing
behavior with respect to hardened usercopy. Future patches can shrink
the usercopy range to cover only what is necessary.

Return true for vmx_interrupt_allowed() if the vCPU is in L2 and L1 has
external interrupt exiting enabled. IRQs are never blocked in hardware
if the CPU is in the guest (L2 from L1's perspective) when IRQs trigger
VM-Exit.
The new check percolates up to kvm_vcpu_ready_for_interrupt_injection()
and thus vcpu_run(), and so KVM will exit to userspace if userspace has
requested an interrupt window (to inject an IRQ into L1).
Remove the @external_intr param from vmx_check_nested_events(), which is
actually an indicator that userspace wants an interrupt window, e.g.
it's named @req_int_win further up the stack. Injecting a VM-Exit into
L1 to try and bounce out to L0 userspace is all kinds of broken and is
no longer necessary.
Remove the hack in nested_vmx_vmexit() that attempted to workaround the
breakage in vmx_check_nested_events() by only filling interrupt info if
there's an actual interrupt pending. The hack actually made things
worse because it caused KVM to _never_ fill interrupt info when the
LAPIC resides in userspace (kvm_cpu_has_interrupt() queries
interrupt.injected, which is always cleared by prepare_vmcs12() before
reaching the hack in nested_vmx_vmexit()).

From Boris Ostrovsky:
The KVM hypervisor may provide a guest with ability to defer remote TLB
flush when the remote VCPU is not running. When this feature is used,
the TLB flush will happen only when the remote VPCU is scheduled to run
again. This will avoid unnecessary (and expensive) IPIs.
Under certain circumstances, when a guest initiates such deferred action,
the hypervisor may miss the request. It is also possible that the guest
may mistakenly assume that it has already marked remote VCPU as needing
a flush when in fact that request had already been processed by the
hypervisor. In both cases this will result in an invalid translation
being present in a vCPU, potentially allowing accesses to memory locations
in that guest's address space that should not be accessible.
Note that only intra-guest memory is vulnerable.
The five patches address both of these problems:
1. The first patch makes sure the hypervisor doesn't accidentally clear
a guest's remote flush request
2. The rest of the patches prevent the race between hypervisor
acknowledging a remote flush request and guest issuing a new one.
Conflicts:

ICR and TSCDEADLINE MSRs write cause the main MSRs write vmexits in our
product observation, multicast IPIs are not as common as unicast IPI like
RESCHEDULE_VECTOR and CALL_FUNCTION_SINGLE_VECTOR etc.
This patch introduce a mechanism to handle certain performance-critical
WRMSRs in a very early stage of KVM VMExit handler.
This mechanism is specifically used for accelerating writes to x2APIC ICR
that attempt to send a virtual IPI with physical destination-mode, fixed
delivery-mode and single target. Which was found as one of the main causes
of VMExits for Linux workloads.
The reason this mechanism significantly reduce the latency of such virtual
IPIs is by sending the physical IPI to the target vCPU in a very early stage
of KVM VMExit handler, before host interrupts are enabled and before expensive
operations such as reacquiring KVM’s SRCU lock.
Latency is reduced even more when KVM is able to use APICv posted-interrupt
mechanism (which allows to deliver the virtual IPI directly to target vCPU
without the need to kick it to host).
Testing on Xeon Skylake server:
The virtual IPI latency from sender send to receiver receive reduces
more than 200+ cpu cycles.

Convert a plethora of parameters and variables in the MMU and page fault
flows from type gva_t to gpa_t to properly handle TDP on 32-bit KVM.
Thanks to PSE and PAE paging, 32-bit kernels can access 64-bit physical
addresses. When TDP is enabled, the fault address is a guest physical
address and thus can be a 64-bit value, even when both KVM and its guest
are using 32-bit virtual addressing, e.g. VMX's VMCS.GUEST_PHYSICAL is a
64-bit field, not a natural width field.
Using a gva_t for the fault address means KVM will incorrectly drop the
upper 32-bits of the GPA. Ditto for gva_to_gpa() when it is used to
translate L2 GPAs to L1 GPAs.
Opportunistically rename variables and parameters to better reflect the
dual address modes, e.g. use "cr2_or_gpa" for fault addresses and plain
"addr" instead of "vaddr" when the address may be either a GVA or an L2
GPA. Similarly, use "gpa" in the nonpaging_page_fault() flows to avoid
a confusing "gpa_t gva" declaration; this also sets the stage for a
future patch to combing nonpaging_page_fault() and tdp_page_fault() with
minimal churn.
Sprinkle in a few comments to document flows where an address is known
to be a GVA and thus can be safely truncated to a 32-bit value. Add
WARNs in kvm_handle_page_fault() and FNAME(gva_to_gpa_nested)() to help
document such cases and detect bugs.

In IOAPIC fixed delivery mode instead of flushing the scan

vCPUs specified within the destination field.
This patch introduces kvm_get_dest_vcpus_mask() API which
retrieves an array of target vCPUs by using
kvm_apic_map_get_dest_lapic() and then based on the
vcpus_idx, it sets the bit in a bitmap. However, if the above
fails kvm_get_dest_vcpus_mask() finds the target vCPUs by
traversing all available vCPUs. Followed by setting the
bits in the bitmap.
If we had different vCPUs in the previous request for the
same redirection table entry then bits corresponding to
these vCPUs are also set. This to done to keep
ioapic_handled_vectors synchronized.
This bitmap is then eventually passed on to
kvm_make_vcpus_request_mask() to generate a masked request
only for the target vCPUs.
This would enable us to reduce the latency overhead on isolated
vCPUs caused by the IPI to process due to KVM_REQ_IOAPIC_SCAN.

Currently, a host perf_event is created for a vPMC functionality emulation.
It’s unpredictable to determine if a disabled perf_event will be reused.
If they are disabled and are not reused for a considerable period of time,
those obsolete perf_events would increase host context switch overhead that
could have been avoided.
If the guest doesn't WRMSR any of the vPMC's MSRs during an entire vcpu
sched time slice, and its independent enable bit of the vPMC isn't set,
we can predict that the guest has finished the use of this vPMC, and then
do request KVM_REQ_PMU in kvm_arch_sched_in and release those perf_events
in the first call of kvm_pmu_handle_event() after the vcpu is scheduled in.
This lazy mechanism delays the event release time to the beginning of the
next scheduled time slice if vPMC's MSRs aren't changed during this time
slice. If guest comes back to use this vPMC in next time slice, a new perf
event would be re-created via perf_event_create_kernel_counter() as usual.

The perf_event_create_kernel_counter() in the pmc_reprogram_counter() is
a heavyweight and high-frequency operation, especially when host disables
the watchdog (maximum 21000000 ns) which leads to an unacceptable latency
of the guest NMI handler. It limits the use of vPMUs in the guest.
When a vPMC is fully enabled, the legacy reprogram_*_counter() would stop
and release its existing perf_event (if any) every time EVEN in most cases
almost the same requested perf_event will be created and configured again.
For each vPMC, if the reuqested config ('u64 eventsel' for gp and 'u8 ctrl'
for fixed) is the same as its current config AND a new sample period based
on pmc->counter is accepted by host perf interface, the current event could
be reused safely as a new created one does. Otherwise, do release the
undesirable perf_event and reprogram a new one as usual.
It's light-weight to call pmc_pause_counter (disable, read and reset event)
and pmc_resume_counter (recalibrate period and re-enable event) as guest
expects instead of release-and-create again on any condition. Compared to
use the filterable event->attr or hw.config, a new 'u64 current_config'
field is added to save the last original programed config for each vPMC.
Based on this implementation, the number of calls to pmc_reprogram_counter
is reduced by ~82.5% for a gp sampling event and ~99.9% for a fixed event.
In the usage of multiplexing perf sampling mode, the average latency of the
guest NMI handler is reduced from 104923 ns to 48393 ns (~2.16x speed up).
If host disables watchdog, the minimum latecy of guest NMI handler could be
speed up at ~3413x (from 20407603 to 5979 ns) and at ~786x in the average.

With some Intel processors, putting the same virtual address in the TLB
as both a 4 KiB and 2 MiB page can confuse the instruction fetch unit
and cause the processor to issue a machine check resulting in a CPU lockup.
Unfortunately when EPT page tables use huge pages, it is possible for a
malicious guest to cause this situation.
Add a knob to mark huge pages as non-executable. When the nx_huge_pages
parameter is enabled (and we are using EPT), all huge pages are marked as
NX. If the guest attempts to execute in one of those pages, the page is
broken down into 4K pages, which are then marked executable.
This is not an issue for shadow paging (except nested EPT), because then
the host is in control of TLB flushes and the problematic situation cannot
happen. With nested EPT, again the nested guest can cause problems shadow
and direct EPT is treated in the same way.

If the "virtualize APIC accesses" VM-execution control is set in the
VMCS, the APIC virtualization hardware is triggered when a page walk
in VMX non-root mode terminates at a PTE wherein the address of the 4k
page frame matches the APIC-access address specified in the VMCS. On
hardware, the APIC-access address may be any valid 4k-aligned physical
address.
KVM's nVMX implementation enforces the additional constraint that the
APIC-access address specified in the vmcs12 must be backed by
a "struct page" in L1. If not, L0 will simply clear the "virtualize
APIC accesses" VM-execution control in the vmcs02.
The problem with this approach is that the L1 guest has arranged the
vmcs12 EPT tables--or shadow page tables, if the "enable EPT"
VM-execution control is clear in the vmcs12--so that the L2 guest
physical address(es)--or L2 guest linear address(es)--that reference
the L2 APIC map to the APIC-access address specified in the
vmcs12. Without the "virtualize APIC accesses" VM-execution control in
the vmcs02, the APIC accesses in the L2 guest will directly access the
APIC-access page in L1.
When there is no mapping whatsoever for the APIC-access address in L1,
the L2 VM just loses the intended APIC virtualization. However, when
the APIC-access address is mapped to an MMIO region in L1, the L2
guest gets direct access to the L1 MMIO device. For example, if the
APIC-access address specified in the vmcs12 is 0xfee00000, then L2
gets direct access to L1's APIC.
Since this vmcs12 configuration is something that KVM cannot
faithfully emulate, the appropriate response is to exit to userspace
with KVM_INTERNAL_ERROR_EMULATION.

Generally, APICv for all vcpus in the VM are enable/disable in the same
manner. So, get_enable_apicv() should represent APICv status of the VM
instead of each VCPU.
Modify kvm_x86_ops.get_enable_apicv() to take struct kvm as parameter
instead of struct kvm_vcpu.

Handle caching CR3 (from VMX's VMCS) into struct kvm_vcpu via the common
cache_reg() callback and drop the dedicated decache_cr3(). The name
decache_cr3() is somewhat confusing as the caching behavior of CR3
follows that of GPRs, RFLAGS and PDPTRs, (handled via cache_reg()), and
has nothing in common with the caching behavior of CR0/CR4 (whose
decache_cr{0,4}_guest_bits() likely provided the 'decache' verbiage).
This would effectivel adds a BUG() if KVM attempts to cache CR3 on SVM.
Change it to a WARN_ON_ONCE() -- if the cache never requires filling,
the value is already in the right place -- and opportunistically add one
in VMX to provide an equivalent check.

Now that indexing into arch.regs is either protected by WARN_ON_ONCE or
done with hardcoded enums, combine all definitions for registers that
are tracked by regs_avail and regs_dirty into 'enum kvm_reg'. Having a
single enum type will simplify additional cleanup related to regs_avail
and regs_dirty.

Currently, we are overloading SPTE_SPECIAL_MASK to mean both
"A/D bits unavailable" and MMIO, where the difference between the
two is determined by mio_mask and mmio_value.
However, the next patch will need two bits to distinguish
availability of A/D bits from write protection. So, while at
it give MMIO its own bit pattern, and move the two bits from
bit 62 to bits 52..53 since Intel is allocating EPT page table
bits from the top.
