Next commits are going introduce support for accessing VMware backdoor ports even though guest's TSS I/O permissions bitmap doesn't allow 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.

Support access to VMware backdoor requires KVM to intercept #GP exceptions from guest which introduce slight performance hit. Therefore, control this support by module parameter. Note that module parameter is exported as it should be consumed by kvm_intel & kvm_amd to determine if they should intercept #GP or not. This commit doesn't change semantics. It is done as a preparation for future commits.

Fast emulation of processor I/O for IN was disabled on x86 (both VMX and SVM) some years ago due to a buggy implementation. The addition of kvm_fast_pio_in(), used by SVM, re-introduced (functional!) fast emulation of IN. Piggyback SVM's work and use kvm_fast_pio_in() on VMX instead of performing full emulation of IN.

Fail a nested VMEntry with EXIT_REASON_INVALID_STATE if L2 guest state is invalid, i.e. vmcs12 contained invalid guest state, and unrestricted guest is disabled in L0 (and by extension disabled in L1). WARN_ON_ONCE in handle_invalid_guest_state() if we're attempting to emulate L2, i.e. nested_run_pending is true, to aid debug in the (hopefully unlikely) scenario that we somehow skip the nested VMEntry consistency check, e.g. due to a L0 bug. Note: KVM relies on hardware to detect the scenario where unrestricted guest is enabled in L0 but disabled in L1 and vmcs12 contains invalid guest state, i.e. checking emulation_required in prepare_vmcs02 is required only to handle the case were unrestricted guest is disabled in L0 since L0 never actually attempts VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME with vmcs02.

Now CR3 is not forced to a host-controlled value when paging is disabled in an unrestricted guest, CR3 load/store exiting can be left disabled (for an unrestricted guest). And because CR0.WP and CR4.PAE/PSE are also not force to host-controlled values, all of ept_update_paging_mode_cr0() is no longer needed, i.e. skip ept_update_paging_mode_cr0() for an unrestricted guest. Because MOV CR3 no longer exits when paging is disabled for an unrestricted guest, vmx_decache_cr3() must always read GUEST_CR3 from the VMCS for an unrestricted guest.

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.

Nested Hyper-V/Windows guest running on top of KVM will use TSC page clocksource in two cases: - L0 exposes invariant TSC (CPUID.80000007H:EDX[8]). - L0 provides Hyper-V Reenlightenment support (CPUID.40000003H:EAX[13]). Exposing invariant TSC effectively blocks migration to hosts with different TSC frequencies, providing reenlightenment support will be needed when we start migrating nested workloads. Implement rudimentary support for reenlightenment MSRs. For now, these are just read/write MSRs with no effect.

... to avoid having a stale value when handling an EPT misconfig for MMIO regions. MMIO regions that are not passed-through to the guest are handled through EPT misconfigs. The first time a certain MMIO page is touched it causes an EPT violation, then KVM marks the EPT entry to cause an EPT misconfig instead. Any subsequent accesses to the entry will generate an EPT misconfig. Things gets slightly complicated with nested guest handling for MMIO regions that are not passed through from L0 (i.e. emulated by L0 user-space). An EPT violation for one of these MMIO regions from L2, exits to L0 hypervisor. L0 would then look at the EPT12 mapping for L1 hypervisor and realize it is not present (or not sufficient to serve the request). Then L0 injects an EPT violation to L1. L1 would then update its EPT mappings. The EXIT_QUALIFICATION value for L1 would come from exit_qualification variable in "struct vcpu". The problem is that this variable is only updated on EPT violation and not on EPT misconfig. So if an EPT violation because of a read happened first, then an EPT misconfig because of a write happened afterwards. The L0 hypervisor will still contain exit_qualification value from the previous read instead of the write and end up injecting an EPT violation to the L1 hypervisor with an out of date EXIT_QUALIFICATION. The EPT violation that is injected from L0 to L1 needs to have the correct EXIT_QUALIFICATION specially for the access bits because the individual access bits for MMIO EPTs are updated only on actual access of this specific type. So for the example above, the L1 hypervisor will keep updating only the read bit in the EPT then resume the L2 guest. The L2 guest would end up causing another exit where the L0 *again* will inject another EPT violation to L1 hypervisor with *again* an out of date exit_qualification which indicates a read and not a write. Then this ping-pong just keeps happening without making any forward progress. The behavior of mapping MMIO regions changed in: commit a340b3e2 ("kvm: Map PFN-type memory regions as writable (if possible)") ... where an EPT violation for a read would also fixup the write bits to avoid another EPT violation which by acciddent would fix the bug mentioned above. This commit fixes this situation and ensures that the access bits for the exit_qualifcation is up to date. That ensures that even L1 hypervisor running with a KVM version before the commit mentioned above would still work. ( The description above assumes EPT to be available and used by L1 hypervisor + the L1 hypervisor is passing through the MMIO region to the L2 guest while this MMIO region is emulated by the L0 user-space ).

The type 'enum kvm_reg_ex' is an extension of 'enum kvm_reg', however the extension is only semantical and the compiler doesn't know about the relationship between the two types. In kvm_pdptr_read() a value of the extended type is passed to kvm_x86_ops->cache_reg(), which expects a value of the base type. Clang raises the following warning about the type mismatch: arch/x86/kvm/kvm_cache_regs.h:44:32: warning: implicit conversion from enumeration type 'enum kvm_reg_ex' to different enumeration type 'enum kvm_reg' [-Wenum-conversion] kvm_x86_ops->cache_reg(vcpu, VCPU_EXREG_PDPTR); Cast VCPU_EXREG_PDPTR to 'enum kvm_reg' to make the compiler happy.

Devices which use level-triggered interrupts under Windows 2016 with Hyper-V role enabled don't work: Windows disables EOI broadcast in SPIV unconditionally. Our in-kernel IOAPIC implementation emulates an old IOAPIC version which has no EOI register so EOI never happens. The issue was discovered and discussed a while ago: https://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg148098.html While this is a guest OS bug (it should check that IOAPIC has the required capabilities before disabling EOI broadcast) we can workaround it in KVM: advertising DIRECTED_EOI with in-kernel IOAPIC makes little sense anyway.

Add support for AMD Core Performance counters in the guest. The base event select and counter MSRs are changed. In addition, with the core extension, there are 2 extra counters available for performance measurements for a total of 6. With the new MSRs, the logic to map them to the gp_counters[] is changed. New functions are added to check the validity of the get/set MSRs. If the guest has the X86_FEATURE_PERFCTR_CORE cpuid flag set, the number of counters available to the vcpu is set to 6. It the flag is not set then it is 4.

This commit implements an enhanced x86 version of S390 KVM_CAP_SYNC_REGS functionality. KVM_CAP_SYNC_REGS "allow[s] userspace to access certain guest registers without having to call SET/GET_*REGS”. This reduces ioctl overhead which is particularly important when userspace is making synchronous guest state modifications (e.g. when emulating and/or intercepting instructions). Originally implemented upstream for the S390, the x86 differences follow: - userspace can select the register sets to be synchronized with kvm_run using bit-flags in the kvm_valid_registers and kvm_dirty_registers fields. - vcpu_events is available in addition to the regs and sregs register sets.

In Hyper-V, the fast guest->host notification mechanism is the SIGNAL_EVENT hypercall, with a single parameter of the connection ID to signal. Currently this hypercall incurs a user exit and requires the userspace to decode the parameters and trigger the notification of the potentially different I/O context. To avoid the costly user exit, process this hypercall and signal the corresponding eventfd in KVM, similar to ioeventfd. The association between the connection id and the eventfd is established via the newly introduced KVM_HYPERV_EVENTFD ioctl, and maintained in an (srcu-protected) IDR.
