Both trap-and-emulate and VZ have a single implementation that covers both .flush_shadow_all and .flush_shadow_memslot, and both of them end with a call to kvm_flush_remote_tlbs. Unify the callbacks into one and extract the call to kvm_flush_remote_tlbs. The next patches will pull it further out of the the architecture-specific MMU notifier functions kvm_unmap_hva_range and kvm_set_spte_hva. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

Use GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT when allocating vCPUs to make it more obvious that that the allocations are accounted, to make it easier to audit KVM's allocations in the future, and to be consistent with other cache usage in KVM. When using SLAB/SLUB, this is a nop as the cache itself is created with SLAB_ACCOUNT. When using SLOB, there are caveats within caveats. SLOB doesn't honor SLAB_ACCOUNT, so passing GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT will result in vCPU allocations now being accounted. But, even that depends on internal SLOB details as SLOB will only go to the page allocator when its cache is depleted. That just happens to be extremely likely for vCPUs because the size of kvm_vcpu is larger than the a page for almost all combinations of architecture and page size. Whether or not the SLOB behavior is by design is unknown; it's just as likely that no SLOB users care about accounding and so no one has bothered to implemented support in SLOB. Regardless, accounting vCPU allocations will not break SLOB+KVM+cgroup users, if any exist.

When using manual protection of dirty pages, it is not necessary to protect nested page tables down to the 4K level; instead KVM can protect only hugepages in order to split them lazily, and delay write protection at 4K-granularity until KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG. This was overlooked in the TDP MMU, so do it there as well.

Injected interrupts/nmi should not block a pending exception, but rather be either lost if nested hypervisor doesn't intercept the pending exception (as in stock x86), or be delivered in exitintinfo/IDT_VECTORING_INFO field, as a part of a VMexit that corresponds to the pending exception. The only reason for an exception to be blocked is when nested run is pending (and that can't really happen currently but still worth checking for).

While KVM's MMU should be fully reset by loading of nested CR0/CR3/CR4 by KVM_SET_SREGS, we are not in nested mode yet when we do it and therefore only root_mmu is reset. On regular nested entries we call nested_svm_load_cr3 which both updates the guest's CR3 in the MMU when it is needed, and it also initializes the mmu again which makes it initialize the walk_mmu as well when nested paging is enabled in both host and guest. Since we don't call nested_svm_load_cr3 on nested state load, the walk_mmu can be left uninitialized, which can lead to a NULL pointer dereference while accessing it if we happen to get a nested page fault right after entering the nested guest first time after the migration and we decide to emulate it, which leads to the emulator trying to access walk_mmu->gva_to_gpa which is NULL. Therefore we should call this function on nested state load as well.

If the VM entry/exit controls for loading/saving MSR_EFER are either not available (an older processor or explicitly disabled) or not used (host and guest values are the same), reading GUEST_IA32_EFER from the VMCS returns an inaccurate value. Because of this, in dump_vmcs() don't use GUEST_IA32_EFER to decide whether to print the PDPTRs - always do so if the fields exist.

Currently to support Intel->AMD migration, if CPU vendor is GenuineIntel, we emulate the full 64 value for MSR_IA32_SYSENTER_{EIP|ESP} msrs, and we also emulate the sysenter/sysexit instruction in long mode. (Emulator does still refuse to emulate sysenter in 64 bit mode, on the ground that the code for that wasn't tested and likely has no users) However when virtual vmload/vmsave is enabled, the vmload instruction will update these 32 bit msrs without triggering their msr intercept, which will lead to having stale values in kvm's shadow copy of these msrs, which relies on the intercept to be up to date. Fix/optimize this by doing the following: 1. Enable the MSR intercepts for SYSENTER MSRs iff vendor=GenuineIntel (This is both a tiny optimization and also ensures that in case the guest cpu vendor is AMD, the msrs will be 32 bit wide as AMD defined). 2. Store only high 32 bit part of these msrs on interception and combine it with hardware msr value on intercepted read/writes iff vendor=GenuineIntel. 3. Disable vmload/vmsave virtualization if vendor=GenuineIntel. (It is somewhat insane to set vendor=GenuineIntel and still enable SVM for the guest but well whatever). Then zero the high 32 bit parts when kvm intercepts and emulates vmload. Thanks a lot to Paulo Bonzini for helping me with fixing this in the most correct way. This patch fixes nested migration of 32 bit nested guests, that was broken because incorrect cached values of SYSENTER msrs were stored in the migration stream if L1 changed these msrs with vmload prior to L2 entry.

Reject KVM_SEV_INIT and KVM_SEV_ES_INIT if they are attempted after one or more vCPUs have been created. KVM assumes a VM is tagged SEV/SEV-ES prior to vCPU creation, e.g. init_vmcb() needs to mark the VMCB as SEV enabled, and svm_create_vcpu() needs to allocate the VMSA. At best, creating vCPUs before SEV/SEV-ES init will lead to unexpected errors and/or behavior, and at worst it will crash the host, e.g. sev_launch_update_vmsa() will dereference a null svm->vmsa pointer.

Set sev->es_active only after the guts of KVM_SEV_ES_INIT succeeds. If the command fails, e.g. because SEV is already active or there are no available ASIDs, then es_active will be left set even though the VM is not fully SEV-ES capable. Refactor the code so that "es_active" is passed on the stack instead of being prematurely shoved into sev_info, both to avoid having to unwind sev_info and so that it's more obvious what actually consumes es_active in sev_guest_init() and its helpers.

Use the kvm_for_each_vcpu() helper to iterate over vCPUs when encrypting VMSAs for SEV, which effectively switches to use online_vcpus instead of created_vcpus. This fixes a possible null-pointer dereference as created_vcpus does not guarantee a vCPU exists, since it is updated at the very beginning of KVM_CREATE_VCPU. created_vcpus exists to allow the bulk of vCPU creation to run in parallel, while still correctly restricting the max number of max vCPUs.

Use a basic NOT+AND sequence to clear the Accessed bit in TDP MMU SPTEs, as opposed to the fancy ffs()+clear_bit() logic that was copied from the legacy MMU. The legacy MMU uses clear_bit() because it is operating on the SPTE itself, i.e. clearing needs to be atomic. The TDP MMU operates on a local variable that it later writes to the SPTE, and so doesn't need to be atomic or even resident in memory. Opportunistically drop unnecessary initialization of new_spte, it's guaranteed to be written before being accessed. Using NOT+AND instead of ffs()+clear_bit() reduces the sequence from: 0x0000000000058be6 <+134>: test %rax,%rax 0x0000000000058be9 <+137>: je 0x58bf4 <age_gfn_range+148> 0x0000000000058beb <+139>: test %rax,%rdi 0x0000000000058bee <+142>: je 0x58cdc <age_gfn_range+380> 0x0000000000058bf4 <+148>: mov %rdi,0x8(%rsp) 0x0000000000058bf9 <+153>: mov $0xffffffff,%edx 0x0000000000058bfe <+158>: bsf %eax,%edx 0x0000000000058c01 <+161>: movslq %edx,%rdx 0x0000000000058c04 <+164>: lock btr %rdx,0x8(%rsp) 0x0000000000058c0b <+171>: mov 0x8(%rsp),%r15 to: 0x0000000000058bdd <+125>: test %rax,%rax 0x0000000000058be0 <+128>: je 0x58beb <age_gfn_range+139> 0x0000000000058be2 <+130>: test %rax,%r8 0x0000000000058be5 <+133>: je 0x58cc0 <age_gfn_range+352> 0x0000000000058beb <+139>: not %rax 0x0000000000058bee <+142>: and %r8,%rax 0x0000000000058bf1 <+145>: mov %rax,%r15 thus eliminating several memory accesses, including a locked access.

Don't clear the dirty bit when aging a TDP MMU SPTE (in response to a MMU notifier event). Prematurely clearing the dirty bit could cause spurious PML updates if aging a page happened to coincide with dirty logging.

Pass the address space ID to TDP MMU's primary "zap gfn range" helper to allow the MMU notifier paths to iterate over memslots exactly once. Currently, both the legacy MMU and TDP MMU iterate over memslots when looking for an overlapping hva range, which can be quite costly if there are a large number of memslots. Add a "flush" parameter so that iterating over multiple address spaces in the caller will continue to do the right thing when yielding while a flush is pending from a previous address space. Note, this also has a functional change in the form of coalescing TLB flushes across multiple address spaces in kvm_zap_gfn_range(), and also optimizes the TDP MMU to utilize range-based flushing when running as L1 with Hyper-V enlightenments.

According to APM, the #DB intercept for a single-stepped VMRUN must happen after the completion of that instruction, when the guest does #VMEXIT to the host. However, in the current implementation of KVM, the #DB intercept for a single-stepped VMRUN happens after the completion of the instruction that follows the VMRUN instruction. When the #DB intercept handler is invoked, it shows the RIP of the instruction that follows VMRUN, instead of of VMRUN itself. This is an incorrect RIP as far as single-stepping VMRUN is concerned. This patch fixes the problem by checking, in nested_svm_vmexit(), for the condition that the VMRUN instruction is being single-stepped and if so, queues the pending #DB intercept so that the #DB is accounted for before we execute L1's next instruction.
