The existing bookkeeping done by KVM when a PTE is changed is spread
around several functions. This makes it difficult to remember all the
stats, bitmaps, and other subsystems that need to be updated whenever a
PTE is modified. When a non-leaf PTE is marked non-present or becomes a
leaf PTE, page table memory must also be freed. To simplify the MMU and
facilitate the use of atomic operations on SPTEs in future patches, create
functions to handle some of the bookkeeping required as a result of
a change.

The TDP MMU must be able to allocate paging structure root pages and track
the usage of those pages. Implement a similar, but separate system for root
page allocation to that of the x86 shadow paging implementation. When
future patches add synchronization model changes to allow for parallel
page faults, these pages will need to be handled differently from the
x86 shadow paging based MMU's root pages.

The TDP MMU offers an alternative mode of operation to the x86 shadow
paging based MMU, optimized for running an L1 guest with TDP. The TDP MMU
will require new fields that need to be initialized and torn down. Add
hooks into the existing KVM MMU initialization process to do that
initialization / cleanup. Currently the initialization and cleanup
fucntions do not do very much, however more operations will be added in
future patches.

Move the call to kvm_x86_ops.vcpu_after_set_cpuid() to the very end of
kvm_vcpu_after_set_cpuid() to allow the vendor implementation to react
to changes made by the common code. In the near future, this will be
used by VMX to update its CR4 guest/host masks to account for reserved
bits. In the long term, SGX support will update the allowed XCR0 mask
for enclaves based on the vCPU's allowed XCR0.
vcpu_after_set_cpuid() (nee kvm_update_cpuid()) was originally added by
commit 2acf923e38 ("KVM: VMX: Enable XSAVE/XRSTOR for guest"), and was
called separately after kvm_x86_ops.vcpu_after_set_cpuid() (nee
kvm_x86_ops->cpuid_update()). There is no indication that the placement
of the common code updates after the vendor updates was anything more
than a "new function at the end" decision.
Inspection of the current code reveals no dependency on kvm_x86_ops'
vcpu_after_set_cpuid() in kvm_vcpu_after_set_cpuid() or any of its
helpers. The bulk of the common code depends only on the guest's CPUID
configuration, kvm_mmu_reset_context() does not consume dynamic vendor
state, and there are no collisions between kvm_pmu_refresh() and VMX's
update of PT state.

Unconditionally intercept changes to CR4.LA57 so that KVM correctly
injects a #GP fault if the guest attempts to set CR4.LA57 when it's
supported in hardware but not exposed to the guest.
Long term, KVM needs to properly handle CR4 bits that can be under guest
control but also may be reserved from the guest's perspective. But, KVM
currently sets the CR4 guest/host mask only during vCPU creation, and
reworking flows to change that will take a bit of elbow grease.
Even if/when generic support for intercepting reserved bits exists, it's
probably not worth letting the guest set CR4.LA57 directly. LA57 can't
be toggled while long mode is enabled, thus it's all but guaranteed to
be set once (maybe twice, e.g. by BIOS and kernel) during boot and never
touched again. On the flip side, letting the guest own CR4.LA57 may
incur extra VMREADs. In other words, this temporary "hack" is probably
also the right long term fix.

The current limit for guest CPUID leaves (KVM_MAX_CPUID_ENTRIES, 80)

allocating vcpu->arch.cpuid_entries[] array dynamically. Currently,
'struct kvm_cpuid_entry2' is 40 bytes so vcpu->arch.cpuid_entries is
3200 bytes which accounts for 1/4 of the whole 'struct kvm_vcpu_arch'
but having it pre-allocated (for all vCPUs which we also pre-allocate)
gives us no real benefits.
Another plus of the dynamic allocation is that we now do kvm_check_cpuid()
check before we assign anything to vcpu->arch.cpuid_nent/cpuid_entries so
no changes are made in case the check fails.

KVM unconditionally provides PV features to the guest, regardless of the

Introduce a capability, KVM_CAP_ENFORCE_PV_FEATURE_CPUID, to gate the
aforementioned enforcement. Migrating a VM from a host w/o this patch to
a host with this patch could silently change the ABI exposed to the

KVM special-cases writes to MSR_IA32_TSC so that all CPUs have
the same base for the TSC. This logic is complicated, and we
do not want it to have any effect once the VM is started.
In particular, if any guest started to synchronize its TSCs
with writes to MSR_IA32_TSC rather than MSR_IA32_TSC_ADJUST,
the additional effect of kvm_write_tsc code would be uncharted
territory.
Therefore, this patch makes writes to MSR_IA32_TSC behave
essentially the same as writes to MSR_IA32_TSC_ADJUST when
they come from the guest. A new selftest (which passes
both before and after the patch) checks the current semantics
of writes to MSR_IA32_TSC and MSR_IA32_TSC_ADJUST originating
from both the host and the guest.
Upcoming work to remove the special side effects
of host-initiated writes to MSR_IA32_TSC and MSR_IA32_TSC_ADJUST
will be able to build onto this test, adjusting the host side
to use the new APIs and achieve the same effect.

It's not desireable to have all MSRs always handled by KVM kernel space. Some
MSRs would be useful to handle in user space to either emulate behavior (like
uCode updates) or differentiate whether they are valid based on the CPU model.
To allow user space to specify which MSRs it wants to see handled by KVM,
this patch introduces a new ioctl to push filter rules with bitmaps into
KVM. Based on these bitmaps, KVM can then decide whether to reject MSR access.
With the addition of KVM_CAP_X86_USER_SPACE_MSR it can also deflect the
denied MSR events to user space to operate on.
If no filter is populated, MSR handling stays identical to before.

MSRs are weird. Some of them are normal control registers, such as EFER.
Some however are registers that really are model specific, not very
interesting to virtualization workloads, and not performance critical.
Others again are really just windows into package configuration.
Out of these MSRs, only the first category is necessary to implement in
kernel space. Rarely accessed MSRs, MSRs that should be fine tunes against
certain CPU models and MSRs that contain information on the package level
are much better suited for user space to process. However, over time we have
accumulated a lot of MSRs that are not the first category, but still handled
by in-kernel KVM code.
This patch adds a generic interface to handle WRMSR and RDMSR from user
space. With this, any future MSR that is part of the latter categories can
be handled in user space.
Furthermore, it allows us to replace the existing "ignore_msrs" logic with
something that applies per-VM rather than on the full system. That way you
can run productive VMs in parallel to experimental ones where you don't care
about proper MSR handling.

When we find an MSR that we can not handle, bubble up that error code as
MSR error return code. Follow up patches will use that to expose the fact
that an MSR is not handled by KVM to user space.

Rename "index" to "slot" in struct vmx_uret_msr to align with the
terminology used by common x86's kvm_user_return_msrs, and to avoid
conflating "MSR's ECX index" with "MSR's index into an array".
No functional change intended.

Rename "vmx_msr_index" to "vmx_uret_msrs_list" to associate it with the
uret MSRs array, and to avoid conflating "MSR's ECX index" with "MSR's
index into an array". Similarly, don't use "slot" in the name as that
terminology is claimed by the common x86 "user_return_msrs" mechanism.

Add "uret" to vmx_set_guest_msr() to explicitly associate it with the
guest_uret_msrs array, and to differentiate it from vmx_set_msr() as
well as VMX's load/store MSRs.

Rename "find_msr_entry" to scope it to VMX and to associate it with
guest_uret_msrs. Drop the "entry" so that the function name pairs with
the existing __vmx_find_uret_msr(), which intentionally uses a double
underscore prefix instead of appending "index" or "slot" as those names
are already claimed by other pieces of the user return MSR stack.

Add vmx_setup_uret_msr() to wrap the lookup and manipulation of the uret
MSRs array during setup_msrs(). In addition to consolidating code, this
eliminates move_msr_up(), which while being a very literally description
of the function, isn't exacly helpful in understanding the net effect of
the code.

Move checking for the existence of MSR_EFER in the uret MSR array into
update_transition_efer() so that the lookup and manipulation of the
array in setup_msrs() occur back-to-back. This paves the way toward
adding a helper to wrap the lookup and manipulation.
To avoid unnecessary overhead, defer the lookup until the uret array
would actually be modified in update_transition_efer(). EFER obviously
exists on CPUs that support the dedicated VMCS fields for switching
EFER, and EFER must exist for the guest and host EFER.NX value to
diverge, i.e. there is no danger of attempting to read/write EFER when
it doesn't exist.

Rename "__find_msr_index" to scope it to VMX, associate it with
guest_uret_msrs, and to avoid conflating "MSR's ECX index" with "MSR's
array index". Similarly, don't use "slot" in the name so as to avoid
colliding the common x86's half of "user_return_msrs" (the slot in
kvm_user_return_msrs is not the same slot in guest_uret_msrs).

Add "uret" to "guest_msrs_ready" to explicitly associate it with the
"guest_uret_msrs" array, and replace "ready" with "loaded" to more
precisely reflect what it tracks, e.g. "ready" could be interpreted as
meaning ready for processing (setup_msrs() has run), which is wrong.
"loaded" also aligns with the similar "guest_state_loaded" field.
