KVM: x86: Fix INIT signal handling in various CPU states
Commit cd7764fe ("KVM: x86: latch INITs while in system management mode") changed code to latch INIT while vCPU is in SMM and process latched INIT when leaving SMM. It left a subtle remark in commit message that similar treatment should also be done while vCPU is in VMX non-root-mode. However, INIT signals should actually be latched in various vCPU states: (*) For both Intel and AMD, INIT signals should be latched while vCPU is in SMM. (*) For Intel, INIT should also be latched while vCPU is in VMX operation and later processed when vCPU leaves VMX operation by executing VMXOFF. (*) For AMD, INIT should also be latched while vCPU runs with GIF=0 or in guest-mode with intercept defined on INIT signal. To fix this: 1) Add kvm_x86_ops->apic_init_signal_blocked() such that each CPU vendor can define the various CPU states in which INIT signals should be blocked and modify kvm_apic_accept_events() to use it. 2) Modify vmx_check_nested_events() to check for pending INIT signal while vCPU in guest-mode. If so, emualte vmexit on EXIT_REASON_INIT_SIGNAL. Note that nSVM should have similar behaviour but is currently left as a TODO comment to implement in the future because nSVM don't yet implement svm_check_nested_events(). Note: Currently KVM nVMX implementation don't support VMX wait-for-SIPI activity state as specified in MSR_IA32_VMX_MISC bits 6:8 exposed to guest (See nested_vmx_setup_ctls_msrs()). If and when support for this activity state will be implemented, kvm_check_nested_events() would need to avoid emulating vmexit on INIT signal in case activity-state is wait-for-SIPI. In addition, kvm_apic_accept_events() would need to be modified to avoid discarding SIPI in case VMX activity-state is wait-for-SIPI but instead delay SIPI processing to vmx_check_nested_events() that would clear pending APIC events and emulate vmexit on SIPI.
