CR4.PAE - Unrestricted guest can only be enabled when EPT is
enabled, and vmx_set_cr4() clears hardware CR0.PAE based on
the guest's CR4.PAE, i.e. CR4.PAE always follows the guest's
value when unrestricted guest is enabled.
CR4.PSE - Unrestricted guest no longer uses the identity mapped
IA32 page tables since CR0.PG can be cleared in hardware, thus
there is no need to set CR4.PSE when paging is disabled in the
guest (and EPT is enabled).
Define KVM_VM_CR4_ALWAYS_ON_UNRESTRICTED_GUEST (to X86_CR4_VMXE)
and use it in lieu of KVM_*MODE_VM_CR4_ALWAYS_ON when unrestricted
guest is enabled, which removes the forcing of CR4.PAE.
Skip the manipulation of CR4.PAE/PSE for EPT when unrestricted
guest is enabled, as CR4.PAE isn't forced and so doesn't need to
be manually cleared, and CR4.PSE does not need to be set when
paging is disabled since the identity mapped IA32 page tables
are not used.

This topic branch allocates separate MSR bitmaps for each VCPU.
This is required for the IBRS enablement to choose, on a per-VM
basis, whether to intercept the SPEC_CTRL and PRED_CMD MSRs;
the IBRS enablement comes in through the tip tree.
The Indirect Branch Predictor Barrier (IBPB) is an indirect branch
control mechanism. It keeps earlier branches from influencing
later ones.
Unlike IBRS and STIBP, IBPB does not define a new mode of operation.
It's a command that ensures predicted branch targets aren't used after
the barrier. Although IBRS and IBPB are enumerated by the same CPUID
enumeration, IBPB is very different.
IBPB helps mitigate against three potential attacks:
* Mitigate guests from being attacked by other guests.
- This is addressed by issing IBPB when we do a guest switch.
* Mitigate attacks from guest/ring3->host/ring3.
These would require a IBPB during context switch in host, or after
VMEXIT. The host process has two ways to mitigate
- Either it can be compiled with retpoline
- If its going through context switch, and has set !dumpable then
there is a IBPB in that path.
(Tim's patch: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10192871)
- The case where after a VMEXIT you return back to Qemu might make
Qemu attackable from guest when Qemu isn't compiled with retpoline.
There are issues reported when doing IBPB on every VMEXIT that resulted
in some tsc calibration woes in guest.
* Mitigate guest/ring0->host/ring0 attacks.
When host kernel is using retpoline it is safe against these attacks.
If host kernel isn't using retpoline we might need to do a IBPB flush on
every VMEXIT.
Even when using retpoline for indirect calls, in certain conditions 'ret'
can use the BTB on Skylake-era CPUs. There are other mitigations
available like RSB stuffing/clearing.
* IBPB is issued only for SVM during svm_free_vcpu().
VMX has a vmclear and SVM doesn't. Follow discussion here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/1/15/146
Please refer to the following spec for more details on the enumeration
and control.

I was investigating an issue with seabios >= 1.10 which stopped working
for nested KVM on Hyper-V. The problem appears to be in
handle_ept_violation() function: when we do fast mmio we need to skip
the instruction so we do kvm_skip_emulated_instruction(). This, however,
depends on VM_EXIT_INSTRUCTION_LEN field being set correctly in VMCS.
However, this is not the case.
Intel's manual doesn't mandate VM_EXIT_INSTRUCTION_LEN to be set when
EPT MISCONFIG occurs. While on real hardware it was observed to be set,
some hypervisors follow the spec and don't set it; we end up advancing
IP with some random value.
I checked with Microsoft and they confirmed they don't fill
VM_EXIT_INSTRUCTION_LEN on EPT MISCONFIG.
Fix the issue by doing instruction skip through emulator when running
nested.

The bulk of the MSR bitmap is either immutable, or can be copied from
the L1 bitmap. By initializing it at VMXON time, and copying the mutable
parts one long at a time on vmentry (rather than one bit), about 4000
clock cycles (30%) can be saved on a nested VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME.
The resulting for loop only has four iterations, so it is cheap enough
to reinitialize the MSR write bitmaps on every iteration, and it makes

These fields are also simple copies of the data in the vmcs12 struct.
For some of them, prepare_vmcs02 was skipping the copy when the field

field exists on the host, because the corresponding execution control
might be one of the shadowed fields.
Optimization opportunities remain for MSRs that, depending on the
entry/exit controls, have to be copied from either the vmcs01 or
the vmcs12: EFER (whose value is partly stored in the entry controls
too), PAT, DEBUGCTL (and also DR7). Before moving these three and
the entry/exit controls to prepare_vmcs02_full, KVM would have to set
dirty_vmcs12 on writes to the L1 MSRs.

VMCS12 fields that are not handled through shadow VMCS are rarely
written, and thus they are also almost constant in the vmcs02. We can
thus optimize prepare_vmcs02 by skipping all the work for non-shadowed
fields in the common case.
This patch introduces the (pretty simple) tracking infrastructure; the
next patches will move work to prepare_vmcs02_full and save a few hundred
clock cycles per VMRESUME on a Haswell Xeon E5 system:

The vmcs_field_to_offset_table was a rather sparse table of short
integers with a maximum index of 0x6c16, amounting to 55342 bytes. Now
that we are considering support for multiple VMCS12 formats, it would
be unfortunate to replicate that large, sparse table. Rotating the
field encoding (as a 16-bit integer) left by 6 reduces that table to
5926 bytes.

Per the SDM, "[VMCS] Fields are grouped by width (16-bit, 32-bit,
etc.) and type (guest-state, host-state, etc.)." Previously, the width
was indicated by vmcs_field_type. To avoid confusion when we start
dealing with both field width and field type, change vmcs_field_type
to vmcs_field_width.

Because all fields can be read/written with a single vmread/vmwrite on
64-bit kernels, the switch statements in copy_vmcs12_to_shadow and
copy_shadow_to_vmcs12 are unnecessary.
What I did in this patch is to copy the two parts of 64-bit fields
separately on 32-bit kernels, to keep all complicated #ifdef-ery
in init_vmcs_shadow_fields. The disadvantage is that 64-bit fields
have to be listed separately in shadow_read_only/read_write_fields,
but those are few and we can validate the arrays when building the
VMREAD and VMWRITE bitmaps. This saves a few hundred clock cycles
per nested vmexit.
However there is still a "switch" in vmcs_read_any and vmcs_write_any.
So, while at it, this patch reorders the fields by type, hoping that
the branch predictor appreciates it.

Compared to when VMCS shadowing was added to KVM, we are reading/writing
a few more fields: the PML index, the interrupt status and the preemption
timer value. The first two are because we are exposing more features
to nested guests, the preemption timer is simply because we have grown
a new optimization. Adding them to the shadow VMCS field lists reduces
the cost of a vmexit by about 1000 clock cycles for each field that exists
on bare metal.
On the other hand, the guest BNDCFGS and TSC offset are not written on
fast paths, so remove them.

Consider the following scenario:
1. CPU A calls vmx_deliver_nested_posted_interrupt() to send an IPI
to CPU B via virtual posted-interrupt mechanism.
2. CPU B is currently executing L2 guest.
3. vmx_deliver_nested_posted_interrupt() calls
kvm_vcpu_trigger_posted_interrupt() which will note that
vcpu->mode == IN_GUEST_MODE.
4. Assume that before CPU A sends the physical POSTED_INTR_NESTED_VECTOR
IPI, CPU B exits from L2 to L0 during event-delivery
(valid IDT-vectoring-info).
5. CPU A now sends the physical IPI. The IPI is received in host and
it's handler (smp_kvm_posted_intr_nested_ipi()) does nothing.
6. Assume that before CPU A sets pi_pending=true and KVM_REQ_EVENT,
CPU B continues to run in L0 and reach vcpu_enter_guest(). As
KVM_REQ_EVENT is not set yet, vcpu_enter_guest() will continue and resume
L2 guest.
7. At this point, CPU A sets pi_pending=true and KVM_REQ_EVENT but
it's too late! CPU B already entered L2 and KVM_REQ_EVENT will only be
consumed at next L2 entry!
Another scenario to consider:
1. CPU A calls vmx_deliver_nested_posted_interrupt() to send an IPI
to CPU B via virtual posted-interrupt mechanism.
2. Assume that before CPU A calls kvm_vcpu_trigger_posted_interrupt(),
CPU B is at L0 and is about to resume into L2. Further assume that it is
in vcpu_enter_guest() after check for KVM_REQ_EVENT.
3. At this point, CPU A calls kvm_vcpu_trigger_posted_interrupt() which
will note that vcpu->mode != IN_GUEST_MODE. Therefore, do nothing and
return false. Then, will set pi_pending=true and KVM_REQ_EVENT.
4. Now CPU B continue and resumes into L2 guest without processing
the posted-interrupt until next L2 entry!
To fix both issues, we just need to change
vmx_deliver_nested_posted_interrupt() to set pi_pending=true and
KVM_REQ_EVENT before calling kvm_vcpu_trigger_posted_interrupt().
It will fix the first scenario by chaging step (6) to note that
KVM_REQ_EVENT and pi_pending=true and therefore process
nested posted-interrupt.
It will fix the second scenario by two possible ways:
1. If kvm_vcpu_trigger_posted_interrupt() is called while CPU B has changed
vcpu->mode to IN_GUEST_MODE, physical IPI will be sent and will be received
when CPU resumes into L2.
2. If kvm_vcpu_trigger_posted_interrupt() is called while CPU B hasn't yet
changed vcpu->mode to IN_GUEST_MODE, then after CPU B will change
vcpu->mode it will call kvm_request_pending() which will return true and
therefore force another round of vcpu_enter_guest() which will note that
KVM_REQ_EVENT and pi_pending=true and therefore process nested
posted-interrupt.

Before each vmentry to guest, vcpu_enter_guest() calls sync_pir_to_irr()
which calls vmx_hwapic_irr_update() to update RVI.
Currently, vmx_hwapic_irr_update() contains a tweak in case it is called
when CPU is running L2 and L1 don't intercept external-interrupts.
In that case, code injects interrupt directly into L2 instead of
updating RVI.
Besides being hacky (wouldn't expect function updating RVI to also
inject interrupt), it also doesn't handle this case correctly.
The code contains several issues:
1. When code calls kvm_queue_interrupt() it just passes it max_irr which
represents the highest IRR currently pending in L1 LAPIC.
This is problematic as interrupt was injected to guest but it's bit is
still set in LAPIC IRR instead of being cleared from IRR and set in ISR.
2. Code doesn't check if LAPIC PPR is set to accept an interrupt of
max_irr priority. It just checks if interrupts are enabled in guest with
vmx_interrupt_allowed().
To fix the above issues:
1. Simplify vmx_hwapic_irr_update() to just update RVI.
Note that this shouldn't happen when CPU is running L2
(See comment in code).
2. Since now vmx_hwapic_irr_update() only does logic for L1
virtual-interrupt-delivery, inject_pending_event() should be the
one responsible for injecting the interrupt directly into L2.
Therefore, change kvm_cpu_has_injectable_intr() to check L1
LAPIC when CPU is running L2.
3. Change vmx_sync_pir_to_irr() to set KVM_REQ_EVENT when L1
has a pending injectable interrupt.
