When using shadow paging, a CR3 switch in the guest results in a VM Exit.
In the common case, that VM exit doesn't require much processing by KVM.
However, it does acquire the MMU lock, which can start showing signs of
contention under some workloads even on a 2 VCPU VM when the guest is
using KPTI. Therefore, we add a fast path that avoids acquiring the MMU
lock in the most common cases e.g. when switching back and forth between
the kernel and user mode CR3s used by KPTI with no guest page table
changes in between.
For now, this fast path is implemented only for 64-bit guests and hosts
to avoid the handling of PDPTEs, but it can be extended later to 32-bit
guests and/or hosts as well.

For nested virtualization L0 KVM is managing a bit of state for L2 guests,
this state can not be captured through the currently available IOCTLs. In
fact the state captured through all of these IOCTLs is usually a mix of L1
and L2 state. It is also dependent on whether the L2 guest was running at
the moment when the process was interrupted to save its state.
With this capability, there are two new vcpu ioctls: KVM_GET_NESTED_STATE
and KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE. These can be used for saving and restoring a VM
that is in VMX operation.

If the vCPU enters system management mode while running a nested guest,
RSM starts processing the vmentry while still in SMM. In that case,
however, the pages pointed to by the vmcs12 might be incorrectly
loaded from SMRAM. To avoid this, delay the handling of the pages
until just before the next vmentry. This is done with a new request
and a new entry in kvm_x86_ops, which we will be able to reuse for
nested VMX state migration.

Some of the MSRs returned by GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST currently cannot be sent back
to KVM_GET_MSR and/or KVM_SET_MSR; either they can never be sent back, or you
they are only accepted under special conditions. This makes the API a pain to
use.
To avoid this pain, this patch makes it so that the result of the get-list
ioctl can always be used for host-initiated get and set. Since we don't have
a separate way to check for read-only MSRs, this means some Hyper-V MSRs are
ignored when written. Arguably they should not even be in the result of
GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST, but I am leaving there in case userspace is using the
outcome of GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST to derive the support for the corresponding
Hyper-V feature.

The functions that were used in the emulation of fxrstor, fxsave, sgdt and
sidt were originally meant for task switching, and as such they did not
check privilege levels. This is very bad when the same functions are used
in the emulation of unprivileged instructions. This is CVE-2018-10853.
The obvious fix is to add a new argument to ops->read_std and ops->write_std,
which decides whether the access is a "system" access or should use the
processor's CPL.

'Commit d0659d946b ("KVM: x86: add option to advance tscdeadline
hrtimer expiration")' advances the tscdeadline (the timer is emulated
by hrtimer) expiration in order that the latency which is incurred
by hypervisor (apic_timer_fn -> vmentry) can be avoided. This patch
adds the advance tscdeadline expiration support to which the tscdeadline
timer is emulated by VMX preemption timer to reduce the hypervisor
lantency (handle_preemption_timer -> vmentry). The guest can also
set an expiration that is very small (for example in Linux if an
hrtimer feeds a expiration in the past); in that case we set delta_tsc
to 0, leading to an immediately vmexit when delta_tsc is not bigger than
advance ns.
This patch can reduce ~63% latency (~4450 cycles to ~1660 cycles on
a haswell desktop) for kvm-unit-tests/tscdeadline_latency when testing
busy waits.

The CPUID bits of OSXSAVE (function=0x1) and OSPKE (func=0x7, leaf=0x0)
allows user apps to detect if OS has set CR4.OSXSAVE or CR4.PKE. KVM is
supposed to update these CPUID bits when CR4 is updated. Current KVM
code doesn't handle some special cases when updates come from emulator.
Here is one example:
Step 1: guest boots
Step 2: guest OS enables XSAVE ==> CR4.OSXSAVE=1 and CPUID.OSXSAVE=1
Step 3: guest hot reboot ==> QEMU reset CR4 to 0, but CPUID.OSXAVE==1
Step 4: guest os checks CPUID.OSXAVE, detects 1, then executes xgetbv
Step 4 above will cause an #UD and guest crash because guest OS hasn't
turned on OSXAVE yet. This patch solves the problem by comparing the the
old_cr4 with cr4. If the related bits have been changed,
kvm_update_cpuid() needs to be called.

If the PCIDE bit is not set in CR4, then the MSb of CR3 is a reserved

If the processor does not have an "Always Running APIC Timer" (aka ARAT),
we should not give guests direct access to MWAIT. The LAPIC timer would
stop ticking in deep C-states, so any host deadlines would not wakeup the
host kernel.
The host kernel intel_idle driver handles this by switching to broadcast
mode when ARAT is not available and MWAIT is issued with a deep C-state
that would stop the LAPIC timer. When MWAIT is passed through, we can not
tell when MWAIT is issued.
So just disable this capability when LAPIC ARAT is not available. I am not
even sure if there are any CPUs with VMX support but no LAPIC ARAT or not.

There is no easy way to force KVM to run an instruction through the emulator
(by design as that will expose the x86 emulator as a significant attack-surface).
However, we do wish to expose the x86 emulator in case we are testing it
(e.g. via kvm-unit-tests). Therefore, this patch adds a "force emulation prefix"
that is designed to raise #UD which KVM will trap and it's #UD exit-handler will
match "force emulation prefix" to run instruction after prefix by the x86 emulator.
To not expose the x86 emulator by default, we add a module parameter that should
be off by default.
A simple testcase here:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#define HYPERVISOR_INFO 0x40000000
#define CPUID(idx, eax, ebx, ecx, edx) \
asm volatile (\
"ud2a; .ascii \"kvm\"; cpuid" \
:"=b" (*ebx), "=a" (*eax), "=c" (*ecx), "=d" (*edx) \
:"0"(idx) );
void main()
{
unsigned int eax, ebx, ecx, edx;
char string[13];
CPUID(HYPERVISOR_INFO, &eax, &ebx, &ecx, &edx);
*(unsigned int *)(string + 0) = ebx;
*(unsigned int *)(string + 4) = ecx;
*(unsigned int *)(string + 8) = edx;
string[12] = 0;
if (strncmp(string, "KVMKVMKVM\0\0\0", 12) == 0)
printf("kvm guest\n");
else
printf("bare hardware\n");

In case L2 VMExit to L0 during event-delivery, VMCS02 is filled with
IDT-vectoring-info which vmx_complete_interrupts() makes sure to
reinject before next resume of L2.
While handling the VMExit in L0, an IPI could be sent by another L1 vCPU
to the L1 vCPU which currently runs L2 and exited to L0.
When L0 will reach vcpu_enter_guest() and call inject_pending_event(),
it will note that a previous event was re-injected to L2 (by
IDT-vectoring-info) and therefore won't check if there are pending L1
events which require exit from L2 to L1. Thus, L0 enters L2 without
immediate VMExit even though there are pending L1 events!
This commit fixes the issue by making sure to check for L1 pending
events even if a previous event was reinjected to L2 and bailing out
from inject_pending_event() before evaluating a new pending event in
case an event was already reinjected.
The bug was observed by the following setup:
* L0 is a 64CPU machine which runs KVM.
* L1 is a 16CPU machine which runs KVM.
* L0 & L1 runs with APICv disabled.
(Also reproduced with APICv enabled but easier to analyze below info
with APICv disabled)
* L1 runs a 16CPU L2 Windows Server 2012 R2 guest.
During L2 boot, L1 hangs completely and analyzing the hang reveals that
one L1 vCPU is holding KVM's mmu_lock and is waiting forever on an IPI
that he has sent for another L1 vCPU. And all other L1 vCPUs are
currently attempting to grab mmu_lock. Therefore, all L1 vCPUs are stuck
forever (as L1 runs with kernel-preemption disabled).
Observing /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe reveals the following
series of events:
(1) qemu-system-x86-19066 [030] kvm_nested_vmexit: rip:
0xfffff802c5dca82f reason: EPT_VIOLATION ext_inf1: 0x0000000000000182

(8) qemu-system-x86-19066 [030] kvm_entry: vcpu 15
Which can be analyzed as follows:
(1) L2 VMExit to L0 on EPT_VIOLATION during delivery of vector 0xd2.
Therefore, vmx_complete_interrupts() will set KVM_REQ_EVENT and reinject
a pending-interrupt of 0xd2.
(2) L1 sends an IPI of vector 0xfc (CALL_FUNCTION_VECTOR) to destination
vCPU 15. This will set relevant bit in LAPIC's IRR and set KVM_REQ_EVENT.
(3) L0 reach vcpu_enter_guest() which calls inject_pending_event() which
notes that interrupt 0xd2 was reinjected and therefore calls
vmx_inject_irq() and returns. Without checking for pending L1 events!
Note that at this point, KVM_REQ_EVENT was cleared by vcpu_enter_guest()
before calling inject_pending_event().
(4) L0 resumes L2 without immediate-exit even though there is a pending
L1 event (The IPI pending in LAPIC's IRR).
We have already reached the buggy scenario but events could be
furthered analyzed:
(5+6) L2 VMExit to L0 on EPT_VIOLATION. This time not during
event-delivery.
(7) L0 decides to forward the VMExit to L1 for further handling.
(8) L0 resumes into L1. Note that because KVM_REQ_EVENT is cleared, the
LAPIC's IRR is not examined and therefore the IPI is still not delivered
into L1!

The reason that exception.pending should block re-injection of

Instead, it describes why a pending exception should be injected
before a pending NMI/interrupt.
Therefore, move currently present comment to code-block evaluating
a new pending event which explains why exception.pending is evaluated
first.
In addition, create a new comment describing that exception.pending

For exceptions & NMIs events, KVM code use the following
coding convention:
*) "pending" represents an event that should be injected to guest at
some point but it's side-effects have not yet occurred.
*) "injected" represents an event that it's side-effects have already
occurred.
However, interrupts don't conform to this coding convention.
All current code flows mark interrupt.pending when it's side-effects
have already taken place (For example, bit moved from LAPIC IRR to
ISR). Therefore, it makes sense to just rename
interrupt.pending to interrupt.injected.
This change follows logic of previous commit 664f8e26b0 ("KVM: X86:
Fix loss of exception which has not yet been injected") which changed
exception to follow this coding convention as well.
It is important to note that in case !lapic_in_kernel(vcpu),
interrupt.pending usage was and still incorrect.
In this case, interrrupt.pending can only be set using one of the
following ioctls: KVM_INTERRUPT, KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS and
KVM_SET_SREGS. Looking at how QEMU uses these ioctls, one can see that
QEMU uses them either to re-set an "interrupt.pending" state it has
received from KVM (via KVM_GET_VCPU_EVENTS interrupt.pending or
via KVM_GET_SREGS interrupt_bitmap) or by dispatching a new interrupt
from QEMU's emulated LAPIC which reset bit in IRR and set bit in ISR
before sending ioctl to KVM. So it seems that indeed "interrupt.pending"
in this case is also suppose to represent "interrupt.injected".
However, kvm_cpu_has_interrupt() & kvm_cpu_has_injectable_intr()
is misusing (now named) interrupt.injected in order to return if
there is a pending interrupt.
This leads to nVMX/nSVM not be able to distinguish if it should exit
from L2 to L1 on EXTERNAL_INTERRUPT on pending interrupt or should
re-inject an injected interrupt.
Therefore, add a FIXME at these functions for handling this issue.
This patch introduce no semantics change.

KVM and perf have a special backdoor mechanism to report the IP for interrupts
re-executed after vm exit. This works for the NMIs that perf normally uses.
However when perf is in timer mode it doesn't work because the timer interrupt
doesn't get this special treatment. This is common when KVM is running
nested in another hypervisor which may not implement the PMU, so only
timer mode is available.
Call the functions to set up the backdoor IP also for non NMI interrupts.
I renamed the functions to set up the backdoor IP reporting to be more
appropiate for their new use. The SVM change is only compile tested.
v2: Moved the functions inline.
For the normal interrupt case the before/after functions are now
called from x86.c, not arch specific code.
For the NMI case we still need to call it in the architecture
specific code, because it's already needed in the low level *_run
functions.

When L1 IOAPIC redirection-table is written, a request of
KVM_REQ_SCAN_IOAPIC is set on all vCPUs. This is done such that
all vCPUs will now recalc their IOAPIC handled vectors and load
it to their EOI-exitmap.
However, it could be that one of the vCPUs is currently running
L2. In this case, load_eoi_exitmap() will be called which would
write to vmcs02->eoi_exit_bitmap, which is wrong because
vmcs02->eoi_exit_bitmap should always be equal to
vmcs12->eoi_exit_bitmap. Furthermore, at this point
KVM_REQ_SCAN_IOAPIC was already consumed and therefore we will
never update vmcs01->eoi_exit_bitmap. This could lead to remote_irr
of some IOAPIC level-triggered entry to remain set forever.
Fix this issue by delaying the load of EOI-exitmap to when vCPU
is running L1.
One may wonder why not just delay entire KVM_REQ_SCAN_IOAPIC
processing to when vCPU is running L1. This is done in order to handle
correctly the case where LAPIC & IO-APIC of L1 is pass-throughed into
L2. In this case, vmcs12->virtual_interrupt_delivery should be 0. In
current nVMX implementation, that results in
vmcs02->virtual_interrupt_delivery to also be 0. Thus,
vmcs02->eoi_exit_bitmap is not used. Therefore, every L2 EOI cause
a #VMExit into L0 (either on MSR_WRITE to x2APIC MSR or
APIC_ACCESS/APIC_WRITE/EPT_MISCONFIG to APIC MMIO page).
In order for such L2 EOI to be broadcasted, if needed, from LAPIC
to IO-APIC, vcpu->arch.ioapic_handled_vectors must be updated
while L2 is running. Therefore, patch makes sure to delay only the
loading of EOI-exitmap but not the update of
vcpu->arch.ioapic_handled_vectors.

Access to VMware backdoor ports is done by one of the IN/OUT/INS/OUTS
instructions. These ports must be allowed access even if TSS I/O
permission bitmap don't allow it.
To handle this, VMX/SVM will be changed in future commits
to intercept #GP which was raised by such access and
handle it by calling x86 emulator to emulate instruction.
If it was one of these instructions, the x86 emulator already handles
it correctly (Since commit "KVM: x86: Always allow access to VMware
backdoor I/O ports") by not checking these ports against TSS I/O
permission bitmap.
One may wonder why checking for specific instructions is necessary
as we can just forward all #GPs to the x86 emulator.
There are multiple reasons for doing so:
1. We don't want the x86 emulator to be reached easily
by guest by just executing an instruction that raises #GP as that
exposes the x86 emulator as a bigger attack surface.
2. The x86 emulator is incomplete and therefore certain instructions
that can cause #GP cannot be emulated. Such an example is "INT x"
(opcode 0xcd) which reaches emulate_int() which can only emulate
the instruction if vCPU is in real-mode.

Next commits are going introduce support for accessing VMware backdoor

access. This mimic VMware hypervisor behavior.
In order to support this, next commits will change VMX/SVM to
intercept #GP which was raised by such access and handle it by calling
the x86 emulator to emulate instruction. Since commit "KVM: x86:
Always allow access to VMware backdoor I/O ports", the x86 emulator
handles access to these I/O ports by not checking these ports against
the TSS I/O permission bitmap.
However, there could be cases that CPU rasies a #GP on instruction
that fails to be disassembled by the x86 emulator (Because of
incomplete implementation for example).
In those cases, we would like the #GP intercept to just forward #GP
as-is to guest as if there was no intercept to begin with.
However, current emulator code always queues #UD exception in case
emulator fails (including disassembly failures) which is not what is
wanted in this flow.
This commit addresses this issue by adding a new emulation_type flag
that will allow the #GP intercept handler to specify that it wishes
to be aware when instruction emulation fails and doesn't want #UD
exception to be queued.
