When guest transitions from/to long-mode by modifying MSR_EFER.LMA,
the list of shared MSRs to be saved/restored on guest<->host
transitions is updated (See vmx_set_efer() call to setup_msrs()).
On every entry to guest, vcpu_enter_guest() calls
vmx_prepare_switch_to_guest(). This function should also take care
of setting the shared MSRs to be saved/restored. However, the
function does nothing in case we are already running with loaded
guest state (vmx->loaded_cpu_state != NULL).
This means that even when guest modifies MSR_EFER.LMA which results
in updating the list of shared MSRs, it isn't being taken into account
by vmx_prepare_switch_to_guest() because it happens while we are
running with loaded guest state.
To fix above mentioned issue, add a flag to mark that the list of
shared MSRs has been updated and modify vmx_prepare_switch_to_guest()
to set shared MSRs when running with host state *OR* list of shared
MSRs has been updated.
Note that this issue was mistakenly introduced by commit
678e315e78 ("KVM: vmx: add dedicated utility to access guest's
kernel_gs_base") because previously vmx_set_efer() always called
vmx_load_host_state() which resulted in vmx_prepare_switch_to_guest() to
set shared MSRs.

Consider the case that userspace enables KVM_CAP_HYPERV_ENLIGHTENED_VMCS twice:
1) kvm_vcpu_ioctl_enable_cap() is called to enable
KVM_CAP_HYPERV_ENLIGHTENED_VMCS which calls nested_enable_evmcs().
2) nested_enable_evmcs() sets enlightened_vmcs_enabled to true and fills
vmcs_version which is then copied to userspace.
3) kvm_vcpu_ioctl_enable_cap() is called again to enable
KVM_CAP_HYPERV_ENLIGHTENED_VMCS which calls nested_enable_evmcs().
4) This time nested_enable_evmcs() just returns 0 as
enlightened_vmcs_enabled is already true. *Without filling
vmcs_version*.
5) kvm_vcpu_ioctl_enable_cap() continues as usual and copies
*uninitialized* vmcs_version to userspace which leads to kernel info-leak.
Fix this issue by simply changing nested_enable_evmcs() to always fill
vmcs_version output argument. Even when enlightened_vmcs_enabled is
already set to true.
Note that SVM's nested_enable_evmcs() should not be modified because it
always returns a non-zero value (-ENODEV) which results in
kvm_vcpu_ioctl_enable_cap() skipping the copy of vmcs_version to
userspace (as it should).

With live migration support and finally a good solution for exception
event injection, nested VMX should be ready for having a stable userspace
ABI. The results of syzkaller fuzzing are not perfect but not horrible
either (and might be partially due to running on GCE, so that effectively
we're testing three-level nesting on a fork of upstream KVM!). Enabling
it by default seems like a nice way to conclude the 4.20 pull request. :)
Unfortunately, enabling nested SVM in 2009 (commit 4b6e4dca70) was a
bit premature. However, until live migration support is in place we can
reasonably expect that it does not offer much in terms of ABI guarantees.
Therefore we are still in time to break things and conform as much as
possible to the interface used for VMX.

When exception payloads are enabled by userspace (which is not yet
possible) and a #DB is raised in L2, defer the setting of DR6 until
later. Under VMX, this allows the L1 hypervisor to intercept the fault
before DR6 is modified. Under SVM, DR6 is modified before L1 can
intercept the fault (as has always been the case with DR7).
Note that the payload associated with a #DB exception includes only
the "new DR6 bits." When the payload is delievered, DR6.B0-B3 will be
cleared and DR6.RTM will be set prior to merging in the new DR6 bits.
Also note that bit 16 in the "new DR6 bits" is set to indicate that a
debug exception (#DB) or a breakpoint exception (#BP) occurred inside
an RTM region while advanced debugging of RTM transactional regions
was enabled. Though the reverse of DR6.RTM, this makes the #DB payload
field compatible with both the pending debug exceptions field under
VMX and the exit qualification for #DB exceptions under VMX.

When Enlightened VMCS is in use by L1 hypervisor we can avoid vmwriting
VMCS fields which did not change.
Our first goal is to achieve minimal impact on traditional VMCS case so
we're not wrapping each vmwrite() with an if-changed checker. We also can't
utilize static keys as Enlightened VMCS usage is per-guest.
This patch implements the simpliest solution: checking fields in groups.
We skip single vmwrite() statements as doing the check will cost us
something even in non-evmcs case and the win is tiny. Unfortunately, this
makes prepare_vmcs02_full{,_full}() code Enlightened VMCS-dependent (and
a bit ugly).

Per Hyper-V TLFS 5.0b:
"The L1 hypervisor may choose to use enlightened VMCSs by writing 1 to
the corresponding field in the VP assist page (see section 7.8.7).
Another field in the VP assist page controls the currently active
enlightened VMCS. Each enlightened VMCS is exactly one page (4 KB) in
size and must be initially zeroed. No VMPTRLD instruction must be
executed to make an enlightened VMCS active or current.
After the L1 hypervisor performs a VM entry with an enlightened VMCS,
the VMCS is considered active on the processor. An enlightened VMCS
can only be active on a single processor at the same time. The L1
hypervisor can execute a VMCLEAR instruction to transition an
enlightened VMCS from the active to the non-active state. Any VMREAD
or VMWRITE instructions while an enlightened VMCS is active is
unsupported and can result in unexpected behavior."

Recently the minimum required version of binutils was changed to 2.20,
which supports all VMX instruction mnemonics. The patch removes
all .byte #defines and uses real instruction mnemonics instead.
The compiler is now able to pass memory operand to the instruction,
so there is no need for memory clobber anymore. Also, the compiler
adds CC register clobber automatically to all extended asm clauses,
so the patch also removes explicit CC clobber.
The immediate benefit of the patch is removal of many unnecesary
register moves, resulting in 1434 saved bytes in vmx.o:
text data bss dec hex filename
151257 18246 8500 178003 2b753 vmx.o

When early consistency checks are enabled, all VMFail conditions
should be caught by nested_vmx_check_vmentry_hw().
Signed-off-by: Sean Christopherson <sean.j.christopherson@intel.com>
Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
KVM defers many VMX consistency checks to the CPU, ostensibly for
performance reasons[1], including checks that result in VMFail (as
opposed to VMExit). This behavior may be undesirable for some users
since this means KVM detects certain classes of VMFail only after it
has processed guest state, e.g. emulated MSR load-on-entry. Because
there is a strict ordering between checks that cause VMFail and those
that cause VMExit, i.e. all VMFail checks are performed before any
checks that cause VMExit, we can detect (almost) all VMFail conditions
via a dry run of sorts. The almost qualifier exists because some
state in vmcs02 comes from L0, e.g. VPID, which means that hardware
will never detect an invalid VPID in vmcs12 because it never sees
said value. Software must (continue to) explicitly check such fields.
After preparing vmcs02 with all state needed to pass the VMFail
consistency checks, optionally do a "test" VMEnter with an invalid
GUEST_RFLAGS. If the VMEnter results in a VMExit (due to bad guest
state), then we can safely say that the nested VMEnter should not
VMFail, i.e. any VMFail encountered in nested_vmx_vmexit() must
be due to an L0 bug. GUEST_RFLAGS is used to induce VMExit as it
is unconditionally loaded on all implementations of VMX, has an
invalid value that is writable on a 32-bit system and its consistency
check is performed relatively early in all implementations (the exact
order of consistency checks is micro-architectural).
Unfortunately, since the "passing" case causes a VMExit, KVM must
be extra diligent to ensure that host state is restored, e.g. DR7
and RFLAGS are reset on VMExit. Failure to restore RFLAGS.IF is
particularly fatal.
And of course the extra VMEnter and VMExit impacts performance.
The raw overhead of the early consistency checks is ~6% on modern
hardware (though this could easily vary based on configuration),
while the added latency observed from the L1 VMM is ~10%. The
early consistency checks do not occur in a vacuum, e.g. spending
more time in L0 can lead to more interrupts being serviced while
emulating VMEnter, thereby increasing the latency observed by L1.
Add a module param, early_consistency_checks, to provide control
over whether or not VMX performs the early consistency checks.
In addition to standard on/off behavior, the param accepts a value
of -1, which is essentialy an "auto" setting whereby KVM does
the early checks only when it thinks it's running on bare metal.
When running nested, doing early checks is of dubious value since
the resulting behavior is heavily dependent on L0. In the future,
the "auto" setting could also be used to default to skipping the
early hardware checks for certain configurations/platforms if KVM
reaches a state where it has 100% coverage of VMFail conditions.
[1] To my knowledge no one has implemented and tested full software
emulation of the VMFail consistency checks. Until that happens,
one can only speculate about the actual performance overhead of
doing all VMFail consistency checks in software. Obviously any
code is slower than no code, but in the grand scheme of nested
virtualization it's entirely possible the overhead is negligible.

A successful VMEnter is essentially a fancy indirect branch that
pulls the target RIP from the VMCS. Skipping the instruction is
unnecessary (RIP will get overwritten by the VMExit handler) and
is problematic because it can incorrectly suppress a #DB due to
EFLAGS.TF when a VMFail is detected by hardware (happens after we
skip the instruction).
Now that vmx_nested_run() is not prematurely skipping the instr,

In anticipation of using vmcs02 to do early consistency checks, move
the early preparation of vmcs02 prior to checking the postreqs. The
downside of this approach is that we'll unnecessary load vmcs02 in
the case that check_vmentry_postreqs() fails, but that is essentially
our slow path anyways (not actually slow, but it's the path we don't
really care about optimizing).

Add a dedicated flag to track if vmcs02 has been initialized, i.e.
the constant state for vmcs02 has been written to the backing VMCS.
The launched flag (in struct loaded_vmcs) gets cleared on logical
CPU migration to mirror hardware behavior[1], i.e. using the launched
flag to determine whether or not vmcs02 constant state needs to be
initialized results in unnecessarily re-initializing the VMCS when
migrating between logical CPUS.
[1] The active VMCS needs to be VMCLEARed before it can be migrated
to a different logical CPU. Hardware's VMCS cache is per-CPU
and is not coherent between CPUs. VMCLEAR flushes the cache so
that any dirty data is written back to memory. A side effect
of VMCLEAR is that it also clears the VMCS's internal launch
flag, which KVM must mirror because VMRESUME must be used to
run a previously launched VMCS.

Add prepare_vmcs02_early() and move pieces of prepare_vmcs02() to the

a) must be in place to pass the VMFail consistency checks (assuming
vmcs12 is valid) and b) are needed recover from a VMExit, e.g. host
state that is loaded on VMExit. Splitting the functionality will
enable KVM to leverage hardware to do VMFail consistency checks via
a dry run of VMEnter and recover from a potential VMExit without
having to fully initialize vmcs02.
Add prepare_vmcs02_constant_state() to handle writing vmcs02 state that
comes from vmcs01 and never changes, i.e. we don't need to rewrite any
of the vmcs02 that is effectively constant once defined.

Handling all VMExits due to failed consistency checks on VMEnter in
nested_vmx_enter_non_root_mode() consolidates all relevant code into
a single location, and removing nested_vmx_entry_failure() eliminates
a confusing function name and label. For a VMEntry, "fail" and its

of a VMEnter VMFail versus VMExit, i.e. it wasn't obvious that

In preparation of supporting checkpoint/restore for nested state,
commit ca0bde28f2 ("kvm: nVMX: Split VMCS checks from nested_vmx_run()")
modified check_vmentry_postreqs() to only perform the guest EFER
consistency checks when nested_run_pending is true. But, in the
normal nested VMEntry flow, nested_run_pending is only set after
check_vmentry_postreqs(), i.e. the consistency check is being skipped.
Alternatively, nested_run_pending could be set prior to calling
check_vmentry_postreqs() in nested_vmx_run(), but placing the
consistency checks in nested_vmx_enter_non_root_mode() allows us
to split prepare_vmcs02() and interleave the preparation with
the consistency checks without having to change the call sites
of nested_vmx_enter_non_root_mode(). In other words, the rest
of the consistency check code in nested_vmx_run() will be joining
the postreqs checks in future patches.

When bit 3 (corresponding to CR0.TS) of the VMCS12 cr0_guest_host_mask
field is clear, the VMCS12 guest_cr0 field does not necessarily hold
the current value of the L2 CR0.TS bit, so the code that checked for
L2's CR0.TS bit being set was incorrect. Moreover, I'm not sure that
the CR0.TS check was adequate. (What if L2's CR0.EM was set, for
instance?)
Fortunately, lazy FPU has gone away, so L0 has lost all interest in
intercepting #NM exceptions. See commit bd7e5b0899 ("KVM: x86:
remove code for lazy FPU handling"). Therefore, there is no longer any
question of which hypervisor gets first dibs. The #NM VM-exit should
always be reflected to L1. (Note that the corresponding bit must be
set in the VMCS12 exception_bitmap field for there to be an #NM
VM-exit at all.)

A VMEnter that VMFails (as opposed to VMExits) does not touch host
state beyond registers that are explicitly noted in the VMFail path,
e.g. EFLAGS. Host state does not need to be loaded because VMFail
is only signaled for consistency checks that occur before the CPU
starts to load guest state, i.e. there is no need to restore any
state as nothing has been modified. But in the case where a VMFail
is detected by hardware and not by KVM (due to deferring consistency
checks to hardware), KVM has already loaded some amount of guest
state. Luckily, "loaded" only means loaded to KVM's software model,
i.e. vmcs01 has not been modified. So, unwind our software model to
the pre-VMEntry host state.
Not restoring host state in this VMFail path leads to a variety of
failures because we end up with stale data in vcpu->arch, e.g. CR0,
CR4, EFER, etc... will all be out of sync relative to vmcs01. Any
significant delta in the stale data is all but guaranteed to crash
L1, e.g. emulation of SMEP, SMAP, UMIP, WP, etc... will be wrong.
An alternative to this "soft" reload would be to load host state from
vmcs12 as if we triggered a VMExit (as opposed to VMFail), but that is
wildly inconsistent with respect to the VMX architecture, e.g. an L1
VMM with separate VMExit and VMFail paths would explode.
Note that this approach does not mean KVM is 100% accurate with
respect to VMX hardware behavior, even at an architectural level
(the exact order of consistency checks is microarchitecture specific).
But 100% emulation accuracy isn't the goal (with this patch), rather
the goal is to be consistent in the information delivered to L1, e.g.
a VMExit should not fall-through VMENTER, and a VMFail should not jump
to HOST_RIP.
This technically reverts commit "5af4157388ad (KVM: nVMX: Fix mmu
context after VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME failure)", but retains the core
aspects of that patch, just in an open coded form due to the need to
pull state from vmcs01 instead of vmcs12. Restoring host state
resolves a variety of issues introduced by commit "4f350c6dbcb9
(kvm: nVMX: Handle deferred early VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME failure properly)",
which remedied the incorrect behavior of treating VMFail like VMExit
but in doing so neglected to restore arch state that had been modified
prior to attempting nested VMEnter.
A sample failure that occurs due to stale vcpu.arch state is a fault
of some form while emulating an LGDT (due to emulated UMIP) from L1
after a failed VMEntry to L3, in this case when running the KVM unit
test test_tpr_threshold_values in L1. L0 also hits a WARN in this
case due to a stale arch.cr4.UMIP.
