Calculate huge_page_disallowed in __direct_map() and FNAME(fetch) in preparation for reworking the calculation so that it preserves the requested map level and eventually to avoid flagging a shadow page as being disallowed for being used as a large/huge page when it couldn't have been huge in the first place, e.g. because the backing page in the host is not large. Pass the error code into the helpers and use it to recalcuate exec and write_fault instead adding yet more booleans to the parameters. Opportunistically use huge_page_disallowed instead of lpage_disallowed to match the nomenclature used within the mapping helpers (though even they have existing inconsistencies). No functional change intended. Signed-off-by:

Refactor the zap loop in kvm_recover_nx_lpages() to be a for loop that iterates on to_zap and drop the !to_zap check that leads to the in-loop calling of kvm_mmu_commit_zap_page(). The in-loop commit when to_zap hits zero is superfluous now that there's an unconditional commit after the loop to handle the case where lpage_disallowed_mmu_pages is emptied. Signed-off-by:

Call kvm_mmu_commit_zap_page() after exiting the "prepare zap" loop in kvm_recover_nx_lpages() to finish zapping pages in the unlikely event that the loop exited due to lpage_disallowed_mmu_pages being empty. Because the recovery thread drops mmu_lock() when rescheduling, it's possible that lpage_disallowed_mmu_pages could be emptied by a different thread without to_zap reaching zero despite to_zap being derived from the number of disallowed lpages.

Rename ops.h to vmx_ops.h to allow adding a tdx_ops.h in the future without causing massive confusion. Trust Domain Extensions (TDX) is built on VMX, but KVM cannot directly access the VMCS(es) for a TDX guest, thus TDX will need its own "ops" implementation for wrapping the low level operations.

Extract the posted interrupt code so that it can be reused for Trust Domain Extensions (TDX), which requires posted interrupts and can use KVM VMX's implementation almost verbatim. TDX is different enough from raw VMX that it is highly desirable to implement the guts of TDX in a separate file, i.e. reusing posted interrupt code by shoving TDX support into vmx.c would be a mess.

Detect spurious page faults, e.g. page faults that occur when multiple vCPUs simultaneously access a not-present page, and skip the SPTE write, prefetch, and stats update for spurious faults. Note, the performance benefits of skipping the write and prefetch are likely negligible, and the false positive stats adjustment is probably lost in the noise. The primary motivation is to play nice with TDX's SEPT in the long term. SEAMCALLs (to program SEPT entries) are quite costly, e.g. thousands of cycles, and a spurious SEPT update will result in a SEAMCALL error (which KVM will ideally treat as fatal). Reported-by:

Introduce RET_PF_FIXED and RET_PF_SPURIOUS to provide unique return values instead of overloading RET_PF_RETRY. In the short term, the unique values add clarity to the code and RET_PF_SPURIOUS will be used by set_spte() to avoid unnecessary work for spurious faults. In the long term, TDX will use RET_PF_FIXED to deterministically map memory during pre-boot. The page fault flow may bail early for benign reasons, e.g. if the mmu_notifier fires for an unrelated address. With only RET_PF_RETRY, it's impossible for the caller to distinguish between "cool, page is mapped" and "darn, need to try again", and thus cannot handle benign cases like the mmu_notifier retry.

Exit to userspace with an error if the MMU is buggy and returns RET_PF_INVALID when servicing a page fault. This will allow a future patch to invert the emulation path, i.e. emulate only on RET_PF_EMULATE instead of emulating on anything but RET_PF_RETRY. This technically means that KVM will exit to userspace instead of emulating on RET_PF_INVALID, but practically speaking it's a nop as the MMU never returns RET_PF_INVALID. Signed-off-by:

Recursively zap all to-be-orphaned children, unsynced or otherwise, when zapping a shadow page for a nested TDP MMU. KVM currently only zaps the unsynced child pages, but not the synced ones. This can create problems over time when running many nested guests because it leaves unlinked pages which will not be freed until the page quota is hit. With the default page quota of 20 shadow pages per 1000 guest pages, this looks like a memory leak and can degrade MMU performance. In a recent benchmark, substantial performance degradation was observed: An L1 guest was booted with 64G memory. 2G nested Windows guests were booted, 10 at a time for 20 iterations. (200 total boots) Windows was used in this benchmark because they touch all of their memory on startup. By the end of the benchmark, the nested guests were taking ~10% longer to boot. With this patch there is no degradation in boot time. Without this patch the benchmark ends with hundreds of thousands of stale EPT02 pages cluttering up rmaps and the page hash map. As a result, VM shutdown is also much slower: deleting memslot 0 was observed to take over a minute. With this patch it takes just a few miliseconds.

If PCID is not exposed to the guest, clear INVPCID in the guest's CPUID even if the VMCS INVPCID enable is not supported. This will allow consolidating the secondary execution control adjustment code without having to special case INVPCID. Technically, this fixes a bug where !CPUID.PCID && CPUID.INVCPID would result in unexpected guest behavior (#UD instead of #GP/#PF), but KVM doesn't support exposing INVPCID if it's not supported in the VMCS, i.e. such a config is broken/bogus no matter what.

On successful nested VM-Enter, check for pending interrupts and convert the highest priority interrupt to a pending posted interrupt if it matches L2's notification vector. If the vCPU receives a notification interrupt before nested VM-Enter (assuming L1 disables IRQs before doing VM-Enter), the pending interrupt (for L1) should be recognized and processed as a posted interrupt when interrupts become unblocked after VM-Enter to L2. This fixes a bug where L1/L2 will get stuck in an infinite loop if L1 is trying to inject an interrupt into L2 by setting the appropriate bit in L2's PIR and sending a self-IPI prior to VM-Enter (as opposed to KVM's method of manually moving the vector from PIR->vIRR/RVI). KVM will observe the IPI while the vCPU is in L1 context and so won't immediately morph it to a posted interrupt for L2. The pending interrupt will be seen by vmx_check_nested_events(), cause KVM to force an immediate exit after nested VM-Enter, and eventually be reflected to L1 as a VM-Exit. After handling the VM-Exit, L1 will see that L2 has a pending interrupt in PIR, send another IPI, and repeat until L2 is killed. Note, posted interrupts require virtual interrupt deliveriy, and virtual interrupt delivery requires exit-on-interrupt, ergo interrupts will be unconditionally unmasked on VM-Enter if posted interrupts are enabled.

Replace the existing kvm_x86_ops.need_emulation_on_page_fault() with a more generic is_emulatable(), and unconditionally call the new function in x86_emulate_instruction(). KVM will use the generic hook to support multiple security related technologies that prevent emulation in one way or another. Similar to the existing AMD #NPF case where emulation of the current instruction is not possible due to lack of information, AMD's SEV-ES and Intel's SGX and TDX will introduce scenarios where emulation is impossible due to the guest's register state being inaccessible. And again similar to the existing #NPF case, emulation can be initiated by kvm_mmu_page_fault(), i.e. outside of the control of vendor-specific code. While the cause and architecturally visible behavior of the various cases are different, e.g. SGX will inject a #UD, AMD #NPF is a clean resume or complete shutdown, and SEV-ES and TDX "return" an error, the impact on the common emulation code is identical: KVM must stop emulation immediately and resume the guest. Query is_emulatable() in handle_ud() as well so that the force_emulation_prefix code doesn't incorrectly modify RIP before calling emulate_instruction() in the absurdly unlikely scenario that KVM encounters forced emulation in conjunction with "do not emulate".

MSR reads/writes should always access the L1 state, since the (nested) hypervisor should intercept all the msrs it wants to adjust, and these that it doesn't should be read by the guest as if the host had read it. However IA32_TSC is an exception. Even when not intercepted, guest still reads the value + TSC offset. The write however does not take any TSC offset into account. This is documented in Intel's SDM and seems also to happen on AMD as well. This creates a problem when userspace wants to read the IA32_TSC value and then write it. (e.g for migration) In this case it reads L2 value but write is interpreted as an L1 value. To fix this make the userspace initiated reads of IA32_TSC return L1 value as well. Huge thanks to Dave Gilbert for helping me understand this very confusing semantic of MSR writes. Signed-off-by:
