Guest should only trust data to be valid when version haven't changed
before and after reads of steal time. Besides not changing, it has to
be an even number. Hypervisor may write an odd number to version field
to indicate that an update is in progress.
kvm_steal_clock() in guest has already done the read side, make write
side in hypervisor more robust by following the above rule.

Commit d28bc9dd25 reversed the order of two lines which initialize cr0,
allowing the current (old) cr0 value to mess up vcpu initialization.
This was observed in the checks for cr0 X86_CR0_WP bit in the context of
kvm_mmu_reset_context(). Besides, setting vcpu->arch.cr0 after vmx_set_cr0()
is completely redundant. Change the order back to ensure proper vcpu
initialization.
The combination of booting with ovmf firmware when guest vcpus > 1 and kvm's
ept=N option being set results in a VM-entry failure. This patch fixes that.

Since accumulate_steal_time is now only called in record_steal_time, it
doesn't quite make sense to put the delta calculation in a separate
function. The function could be called thousands of times before guest
enables the steal time MSR (though the compiler may optimize out this
function call). And after it's enabled, the MSR enable bit is tested twice
every time. Removing the accumulate_steal_time function also avoids the
necessity of having the accum_steal field.

An interrupt handler that uses the fpu can kill a KVM VM, if it runs
under the following conditions:
- the guest's xcr0 register is loaded on the cpu
- the guest's fpu context is not loaded
- the host is using eagerfpu
Note that the guest's xcr0 register and fpu context are not loaded as
part of the atomic world switch into "guest mode". They are loaded by
KVM while the cpu is still in "host mode".
Usage of the fpu in interrupt context is gated by irq_fpu_usable(). The
interrupt handler will look something like this:
if (irq_fpu_usable()) {
kernel_fpu_begin();
[... code that uses the fpu ...]
kernel_fpu_end();
}
As long as the guest's fpu is not loaded and the host is using eager
fpu, irq_fpu_usable() returns true (interrupted_kernel_fpu_idle()
returns true). The interrupt handler proceeds to use the fpu with
the guest's xcr0 live.
kernel_fpu_begin() saves the current fpu context. If this uses
XSAVE[OPT], it may leave the xsave area in an undesirable state.
According to the SDM, during XSAVE bit i of XSTATE_BV is not modified
if bit i is 0 in xcr0. So it's possible that XSTATE_BV[i] == 1 and
xcr0[i] == 0 following an XSAVE.
kernel_fpu_end() restores the fpu context. Now if any bit i in
XSTATE_BV == 1 while xcr0[i] == 0, XRSTOR generates a #GP. The
fault is trapped and SIGSEGV is delivered to the current process.
Only pre-4.2 kernels appear to be vulnerable to this sequence of
events. Commit 653f52c ("kvm,x86: load guest FPU context more eagerly")
from 4.2 forces the guest's fpu to always be loaded on eagerfpu hosts.
This patch fixes the bug by keeping the host's xcr0 loaded outside
of the interrupts-disabled region where KVM switches into guest mode.

Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
When a vCPU runs on a nohz_full core, the hrtimer used by
the lapic emulation code can be migrated to another core.
When this happens, it's possible to observe milisecond
latency when delivering timer IRQs to KVM guests.
The huge latency is mainly due to the fact that
apic_timer_fn() expects to run during a kvm exit. It
sets KVM_REQ_PENDING_TIMER and let it be handled on kvm
entry. However, if the timer fires on a different core,
we have to wait until the next kvm exit for the guest
to see KVM_REQ_PENDING_TIMER set.
This problem became visible after commit 9642d18ee. This
commit changed the timer migration code to always attempt
to migrate timers away from nohz_full cores. While it's
discussable if this is correct/desirable (I don't think
it is), it's clear that the lapic emulation code has
a requirement on firing the hrtimer in the same core
where it was started. This is achieved by making the
hrtimer pinned.
Lastly, note that KVM has code to migrate timers when a
vCPU is scheduled to run in different core. However, this
forced migration may fail. When this happens, we can have
the same problem. If we want 100% correctness, we'll have
to modify apic_timer_fn() to cause a kvm exit when it runs
on a different core than the vCPU. Not sure if this is
possible.
Here's a reproducer for the issue being fixed:
1. Set all cores but core0 to be nohz_full cores
2. Start a guest with a single vCPU
3. Trace apic_timer_fn() and kvm_inject_apic_timer_irqs()
You'll see that apic_timer_fn() will run in core0 while
kvm_inject_apic_timer_irqs() runs in a different core. If
you get both on core0, try running a program that takes 100%
of the CPU and pin it to core0 to force the vCPU out.

Non maskable interrupts (NMI) are preferred to interrupts in current
implementation. If a NMI is pending and NMI is blocked by the result
of nmi_allowed(), pending interrupt is not injected and
enable_irq_window() is not executed, even if interrupts injection is
allowed.
In old kernel (e.g. 2.6.32), schedule() is often called in NMI context.
In this case, interrupts are needed to execute iret that intends end
of NMI. The flag of blocking new NMI is not cleared until the guest
execute the iret, and interrupts are blocked by pending NMI. Due to
this, iret can't be invoked in the guest, and the guest is starved
until block is cleared by some events (e.g. canceling injection).
This patch injects pending interrupts, when it's allowed, even if NMI
is blocked. And, If an interrupts is pending after executing
inject_pending_event(), enable_irq_window() is executed regardless of
NMI pending counter.

Pull 'objtool' stack frame validation from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree adds a new kernel build-time object file validation feature
(ONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION=y): kernel stack frame correctness validation.
It was written by and is maintained by Josh Poimboeuf.
The motivation: there's a category of hard to find kernel bugs, most
of them in assembly code (but also occasionally in C code), that
degrades the quality of kernel stack dumps/backtraces. These bugs are
hard to detect at the source code level. Such bugs result in
incorrect/incomplete backtraces most of time - but can also in some
rare cases result in crashes or other undefined behavior.
The build time correctness checking is done via the new 'objtool'
user-space utility that was written for this purpose and which is
hosted in the kernel repository in tools/objtool/. The tool's (very
simple) UI and source code design is shaped after Git and perf and
shares quite a bit of infrastructure with tools/perf (which tooling
infrastructure sharing effort got merged via perf and is already
upstream). Objtool follows the well-known kernel coding style.
Objtool does not try to check .c or .S files, it instead analyzes the
resulting .o generated machine code from first principles: it decodes
the instruction stream and interprets it. (Right now objtool supports
the x86-64 architecture.)
From tools/objtool/Documentation/stack-validation.txt:
"The kernel CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION option enables a host tool named
objtool which runs at compile time. It has a "check" subcommand
which analyzes every .o file and ensures the validity of its stack
metadata. It enforces a set of rules on asm code and C inline
assembly code so that stack traces can be reliable.
Currently it only checks frame pointer usage, but there are plans to
add CFI validation for C files and CFI generation for asm files.
For each function, it recursively follows all possible code paths
and validates the correct frame pointer state at each instruction.
It also follows code paths involving special sections, like
.altinstructions, __jump_table, and __ex_table, which can add
alternative execution paths to a given instruction (or set of
instructions). Similarly, it knows how to follow switch statements,
for which gcc sometimes uses jump tables."
When this new kernel option is enabled (it's disabled by default), the
tool, if it finds any suspicious assembly code pattern, outputs
warnings in compiler warning format:
warning: objtool: rtlwifi_rate_mapping()+0x2e7: frame pointer state mismatch
warning: objtool: cik_tiling_mode_table_init()+0x6ce: call without frame pointer save/setup
warning: objtool:__schedule()+0x3c0: duplicate frame pointer save
warning: objtool:__schedule()+0x3fd: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer
... so that scripts that pick up compiler warnings will notice them.
All known warnings triggered by the tool are fixed by the tree, most
of the commits in fact prepare the kernel to be warning-free. Most of
them are bugfixes or cleanups that stand on their own, but there are
also some annotations of 'special' stack frames for justified cases
such entries to JIT-ed code (BPF) or really special boot time code.
There are two other long-term motivations behind this tool as well:
- To improve the quality and reliability of kernel stack frames, so
that they can be used for optimized live patching.
- To create independent infrastructure to check the correctness of
CFI stack frames at build time. CFI debuginfo is notoriously
unreliable and we cannot use it in the kernel as-is without extra
checking done both on the kernel side and on the build side.
The quality of kernel stack frames matters to debuggability as well,
so IMO we can merge this without having to consider the live patching
or CFI debuginfo angle"

When SMEP is in effect, however, U=0 will enable kernel execution of
this page. To avoid this, KVM also sets NX=1 in the shadow PTE together
with U=0, making the two states U=1/W=0/NX=gpte.NX and U=0/W=1/NX=1.
When guest EFER has the NX bit cleared, the reserved bit check thinks
that the latter state is invalid; teach it that the smep_andnot_wp case
will also use the NX bit of SPTEs.

Yes, all of these are needed. :) This is admittedly a bit odd, but
kvm-unit-tests access.flat tests this if you run it with "-cpu host"
and of course ept=0.
KVM runs the guest with CR0.WP=1, so it must handle supervisor writes
specially when pte.u=1/pte.w=0/CR0.WP=0. Such writes cause a fault
when U=1 and W=0 in the SPTE, but they must succeed because CR0.WP=0.
When KVM gets the fault, it sets U=0 and W=1 in the shadow PTE and
restarts execution. This will still cause a user write to fault, while
supervisor writes will succeed. User reads will fault spuriously now,
and KVM will then flip U and W again in the SPTE (U=1, W=0). User reads
will be enabled and supervisor writes disabled, going back to the
originary situation where supervisor writes fault spuriously.
When SMEP is in effect, however, U=0 will enable kernel execution of
this page. To avoid this, KVM also sets NX=1 in the shadow PTE together
with U=0. If the guest has not enabled NX, the result is a continuous
stream of page faults due to the NX bit being reserved.
The fix is to force EFER.NX=1 even if the CPU is taking care of the EFER
switch. (All machines with SMEP have the CPU_LOAD_IA32_EFER vm-entry
control, so they do not use user-return notifiers for EFER---if they did,
EFER.NX would be forced to the same value as the host).
There is another bug in the reserved bit check, which I've split to a
separate patch for easier application to stable kernels.

When eager FPU is disabled, KVM will still see the MPX bit in CPUID and
presumably the MPX vmentry and vmexit controls. However, it will not
be able to expose the MPX XSAVE features to the guest, because the guest's
accessible XSAVE features are always a subset of host_xcr0.
In this case, we should disable the MPX CPUID bit, the BNDCFGS MSR,
and the MPX vmentry and vmexit controls for nested virtualization.
It is then unnecessary to enable guest eager FPU if the guest has the
MPX CPUID bit set.

Linux guests on Haswell (and also SandyBridge and Broadwell, at least)
would crash if you decided to run a host command that uses PEBS, like
perf record -e 'cpu/mem-stores/pp' -a
This happens because KVM is using VMX MSR switching to disable PEBS, but
SDM [2015-12] 18.4.4.4 Re-configuring PEBS Facilities explains why it
isn't safe:
When software needs to reconfigure PEBS facilities, it should allow a
quiescent period between stopping the prior event counting and setting
up a new PEBS event. The quiescent period is to allow any latent
residual PEBS records to complete its capture at their previously
specified buffer address (provided by IA32_DS_AREA).
There might not be a quiescent period after the MSR switch, so a CPU
ends up using host's MSR_IA32_DS_AREA to access an area in guest's
memory. (Or MSR switching is just buggy on some models.)
The guest can learn something about the host this way:
If the guest doesn't map address pointed by MSR_IA32_DS_AREA, it results
in #PF where we leak host's MSR_IA32_DS_AREA through CR2.
After that, a malicious guest can map and configure memory where
MSR_IA32_DS_AREA is pointing and can therefore get an output from
host's tracing.
This is not a critical leak as the host must initiate with PEBS tracing
and I have not been able to get a record from more than one instruction
before vmentry in vmx_vcpu_run() (that place has most registers already
overwritten with guest's).
We could disable PEBS just few instructions before vmentry, but
disabling it earlier shouldn't affect host tracing too much.
We also don't need to switch MSR_IA32_PEBS_ENABLE on VMENTRY, but that
optimization isn't worth its code, IMO.
(If you are implementing PEBS for guests, be sure to handle the case
where both host and guest enable PEBS, because this patch doesn't.)

Branch-free code is fun and everybody knows how much Avi loves it,
but last_pte_bitmap takes it a bit to the extreme. Since the code
is simply doing a range check, like
(level == 1 ||
((gpte & PT_PAGE_SIZE_MASK) && level < N)
we can make it branch-free without storing the entire truth table;
it is enough to cache N.

Calling kvm_unlink_unsync_page in the middle of __kvm_sync_page makes
things unnecessarily tricky. If kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page is called,
it will call kvm_unlink_unsync_page too. So kvm_unlink_unsync_page can
be called just as well at the beginning or the end of __kvm_sync_page...
which means that we might do it in kvm_sync_page too and remove the
parameter.
kvm_sync_page ends up being the same code that kvm_sync_pages used
to have before the previous patch.

If the last argument is true, kvm_unlink_unsync_page is called anyway in
__kvm_sync_page (either by kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page or by __kvm_sync_page
itself). Therefore, kvm_sync_pages can just call kvm_sync_page, instead
of going through kvm_unlink_unsync_page+__kvm_sync_page.

By doing this, kvm_sync_pages can use __kvm_sync_page instead of
