I can use vmxcap tool to observe "EPTP Switching yes" even if EPT is not exposed to L1. EPT switching is advertised unconditionally since it is emulated, however, it can be treated as an extended feature for EPT and it should not be advertised if EPT itself is not exposed. This patch fixes it. Reviewed-by:

Commit 05cade71 ("KVM: nSVM: fix SMI injection in guest mode") made KVM mask SMI if GIF=0 but it didn't do anything to unmask it when GIF is enabled. The issue manifests for me as a significantly longer boot time of Windows guests when running with SMM-enabled OVMF. This commit fixes it by intercepting STGI instead of requesting immediate exit if the reason why SMM was masked is GIF. Fixes: 05cade71 ("KVM: nSVM: fix SMI injection in guest mode") Signed-off-by:

Entering SMM while running in guest mode wasn't working very well because several pieces of the vcpu state were left set up for nested operation. Some of the issues observed: * L1 was getting unexpected VM exits (using L1 interception controls but running in SMM execution environment) * MMU was confused (walk_mmu was still set to nested_mmu) * INTERCEPT_SMI was not emulated for L1 (KVM never injected SVM_EXIT_SMI) Intel SDM actually prescribes the logical processor to "leave VMX operation" upon entering SMM in 34.14.1 Default Treatment of SMI Delivery. AMD doesn't seem to document this but they provide fields in the SMM state-save area to stash the current state of SVM. What we need to do is basically get out of guest mode for the duration of SMM. All this completely transparent to L1, i.e. L1 is not given control and no L1 observable state changes. To avoid code duplication this commit takes advantage of the existing nested vmexit and run functionality, perhaps at the cost of efficiency. To get out of guest mode, nested_svm_vmexit is called, unchanged. Re-entering is performed using enter_svm_guest_mode. This commit fixes running Windows Server 2016 with Hyper-V enabled in a VM with OVMF firmware (OVMF_CODE-need-smm.fd). Signed-off-by:

Analogous to 858e25c0 ("kvm: nVMX: Refactor nested_vmx_run()"), this commit splits nested_svm_vmrun into two parts. The newly introduced enter_svm_guest_mode modifies the vcpu state to transition from L1 to L2, while the code left in nested_svm_vmrun handles the VMRUN instruction. Signed-off-by:

Some of the issues observed: * L1 was getting unexpected VM exits (using L1 interception controls but running in SMM execution environment) * SMM handler couldn't write to vmx_set_cr4 because of incorrect validity checks predicated on nested.vmxon * MMU was confused (walk_mmu was still set to nested_mmu) Intel SDM actually prescribes the logical processor to "leave VMX operation" upon entering SMM in 34.14.1 Default Treatment of SMI Delivery. What we need to do is basically get out of guest mode and set nested.vmxon to false for the duration of SMM.

To avoid code duplication this commit takes advantage of the existing nested vmexit and run functionality, perhaps at the cost of efficiency. To get out of guest mode, nested_vmx_vmexit with exit_reason == -1 is called, a trick already used in vmx_leave_nested. Re-entering is cleaner, using enter_vmx_non_root_mode.

Entering and exiting SMM may require ISA specific handling under certain circumstances. This commit adds two new callbacks with empty implementations. Actual functionality will be added in following commits. * pre_enter_smm() is to be called when injecting an SMM, before any SMM related vcpu state has been changed * pre_leave_smm() is to be called when emulating the RSM instruction, when the vcpu is in real mode and before any SMM related vcpu state has been restored Signed-off-by:

It has always annoyed me a bit how SVM_EXIT_NPF is handled by pf_interception. This is also the only reason behind the under-documented need_unprotect argument to kvm_handle_page_fault. Let NPF go straight to kvm_mmu_page_fault, just like VMX does in handle_ept_violation and handle_ept_misconfig. Reviewed-by:

Checking the mode is unnecessary, and is done without a memory barrier separating the LAPIC write from the vcpu->mode read; in addition, kvm_vcpu_wake_up is already doing a check for waiters on the wait queue that has the same effect. In practice it's safe because spin_lock has full-barrier semantics on x86, but don't be too clever. Reviewed-by:

SDM mentioned: "If either the “unrestricted guest†VM-execution control or the “mode-based execute control for EPT†VM- execution control is 1, the “enable EPT†VM-execution control must also be 1." However, we can still observe unrestricted_guest is Y after inserting the kvm-intel.ko w/ ept=N. It depends on later starts a guest in order that the function vmx_compute_secondary_exec_control() can be executed, then both the module parameter and exec control fields will be amended. This patch fixes it by amending module parameter immediately during vmcs data setup. Reviewed-by:

The kvm slabs can consume a significant amount of system memory and indeed in our production environment we have observed that a lot of machines are spending significant amount of memory that can not be left as system memory overhead. Also the allocations from these slabs can be triggered directly by user space applications which has access to kvm and thus a buggy application can leak such memory. So, these caches should be accounted to kmemcg. Signed-off-by:

The description in the Intel SDM of how the divide configuration register is used: "The APIC timer frequency will be the processor's bus clock or core crystal clock frequency divided by the value specified in the divide configuration register." Observation of baremetal shown that when the TDCR is change, the TMCCT does not change or make a big jump in value, but the rate at which it count down change. The patch update the emulation to APIC timer to so that a change to the divide configuration would be reflected in the value of the counter and when the next interrupt is triggered.

If we take TSC-deadline mode timer out of the picture, the Intel SDM does not say that the timer is disable when the timer mode is change, either from one-shot to periodic or vice versa. After this patch, the timer is no longer disarmed on change of mode, so the counter (TMCCT) keeps counting down. So what does a write to LVTT changes ? On baremetal, the change of mode is probably taken into account only when the counter reach 0. When this happen, LVTT is use to figure out if the counter should restard counting down from TMICT (so periodic mode) or stop counting (if one-shot mode). This patch is based on observation of the behavior of the APIC timer on baremetal as well as check that they does not go against the description written in the Intel SDM.
