When L1 IOAPIC redirection-table is written, a request of
KVM_REQ_SCAN_IOAPIC is set on all vCPUs. This is done such that
all vCPUs will now recalc their IOAPIC handled vectors and load
it to their EOI-exitmap.
However, it could be that one of the vCPUs is currently running
L2. In this case, load_eoi_exitmap() will be called which would
write to vmcs02->eoi_exit_bitmap, which is wrong because
vmcs02->eoi_exit_bitmap should always be equal to
vmcs12->eoi_exit_bitmap. Furthermore, at this point
KVM_REQ_SCAN_IOAPIC was already consumed and therefore we will
never update vmcs01->eoi_exit_bitmap. This could lead to remote_irr
of some IOAPIC level-triggered entry to remain set forever.
Fix this issue by delaying the load of EOI-exitmap to when vCPU
is running L1.
One may wonder why not just delay entire KVM_REQ_SCAN_IOAPIC
processing to when vCPU is running L1. This is done in order to handle
correctly the case where LAPIC & IO-APIC of L1 is pass-throughed into
L2. In this case, vmcs12->virtual_interrupt_delivery should be 0. In
current nVMX implementation, that results in
vmcs02->virtual_interrupt_delivery to also be 0. Thus,
vmcs02->eoi_exit_bitmap is not used. Therefore, every L2 EOI cause
a #VMExit into L0 (either on MSR_WRITE to x2APIC MSR or
APIC_ACCESS/APIC_WRITE/EPT_MISCONFIG to APIC MMIO page).
In order for such L2 EOI to be broadcasted, if needed, from LAPIC
to IO-APIC, vcpu->arch.ioapic_handled_vectors must be updated
while L2 is running. Therefore, patch makes sure to delay only the
loading of EOI-exitmap but not the update of
vcpu->arch.ioapic_handled_vectors.

vmx_save_host_state() is only called from kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() so
the context is pretty well defined and as we're past 'swapgs' MSR_GS_BASE
should contain kernel's GS base which we point to irq_stack_union.
Add new kernelmode_gs_base() API, irq_stack_union needs to be exported
as KVM can be build as module.

Allowing a guest to execute MWAIT without interception enables a guest
to put a (physical) CPU into a power saving state, where it takes
longer to return from than what may be desired by the host.
Don't give a guest that power over a host by default. (Especially,
since nothing prevents a guest from using MWAIT even when it is not
advertised via CPUID.)

VMware exposes the following Pseudo PMCs:
0x10000: Physical host TSC
0x10001: Elapsed real time in ns
0x10002: Elapsed apparent time in ns
For more info refer to:
https://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/techpaper/Timekeeping-In-VirtualMachines.pdf
VMware allows access to these Pseduo-PMCs even when read via RDPMC
in Ring3 and CR4.PCE=0. Therefore, commit modifies x86 emulator
to allow access to these PMCs in this situation. In addition,
emulation of these PMCs were added to kvm_pmu_rdpmc().

Access to VMware backdoor ports is done by one of the IN/OUT/INS/OUTS
instructions. These ports must be allowed access even if TSS I/O
permission bitmap don't allow it.
To handle this, VMX/SVM will be changed in future commits
to intercept #GP which was raised by such access and
handle it by calling x86 emulator to emulate instruction.
If it was one of these instructions, the x86 emulator already handles
it correctly (Since commit "KVM: x86: Always allow access to VMware
backdoor I/O ports") by not checking these ports against TSS I/O
permission bitmap.
One may wonder why checking for specific instructions is necessary
as we can just forward all #GPs to the x86 emulator.
There are multiple reasons for doing so:
1. We don't want the x86 emulator to be reached easily
by guest by just executing an instruction that raises #GP as that
exposes the x86 emulator as a bigger attack surface.
2. The x86 emulator is incomplete and therefore certain instructions
that can cause #GP cannot be emulated. Such an example is "INT x"
(opcode 0xcd) which reaches emulate_int() which can only emulate
the instruction if vCPU is in real-mode.

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.

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.

Define KVM_VM_CR4_ALWAYS_ON_UNRESTRICTED_GUEST (to X86_CR4_VMXE)

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 a340b3e229b24 ("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 ).

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.

The S390 architecture does not support any graphics hardware,

GPU emulation in QEMU, it's possible to enable graphics for
S390 using the Virtio GPU device.
To enable display we need to enable the Linux Virtual Terminal (VT)
layer for S390. But the VT subsystem initializes quite early
at boot so we need a dummy console driver till the Virtio GPU
driver is initialized and we can run the framebuffer console.
The framebuffer console over a Virtio GPU device can be run
in combination with the serial SCLP console (default on S390).
The SCLP console can still be accessed by management applications

The Linux Virtual Terminal (VT) layer provides a default keymap
which is compiled when VT layer is enabled. But at the same time
we are also compiling the EBCDIC keymap and this causes the linker
to complain.
So let's rename the EBCDIC keymap variables to prevent linker
conflict.

The 'commit e25df1205f37 ("[S390] Kconfig: menus with depends on HAS_IOMEM.")'
added the HAS_IOMEM dependecy for "Graphics support". This disabled the
"Graphics support" menu for S390. But if we enable VT layer for S390,
we would also need to enable the dummy console. So let's remove the
HAS_IOMEM dependency.
Move this dependency to sub menu items and console drivers that use
io memory.

use_cmma in kvm_arch means that the KVM hypervisor is allowed to use
cmma, whereas use_cmma in the mm context means cmm has been used before.
Let's rename the context one to uses_cmm, as the vm does use
collaborative memory management but the host uses the cmm assist
(interpretation facility).
Also let's introduce use_pfmfi, so we can remove the pfmfi disablement
when we activate cmma and rather not activate it in the first place.

Some facilities should only be provided to the guest, if they are
enabled by a CPU model. This allows us to avoid capabilities and
to simply fall back to the cpumodel for deciding about a facility
without enabling it for older QEMUs or QEMUs without a CPU
model.

According to Intel SDM 26.2.1.1, the following rules should be enforced
on vmentry:
* If the "NMI exiting" VM-execution control is 0, "Virtual NMIs"
VM-execution control must be 0.
* If the “virtual NMIs” VM-execution control is 0, the “NMI-window
exiting” VM-execution control must be 0.
This patch enforces these rules when entering an L2 guest.

vCPUs are very unlikely to get preempted when they are the only task
running on a CPU. PV TLB flush is slower that the native flush in that
case, so disable it.

when a dedicated physical CPU is available.
PV_DEDICATED = 1, PV_UNHALT = anything: default is qspinlock

This patch introduces kvm_para_has_hint() to query for hints about
the configuration of the guests. The first hint KVM_HINTS_DEDICATED,
is set if the guest has dedicated physical CPUs for each vCPU (i.e.
pinning and no over-commitment). This allows optimizing spinlocks
and tells the guest to avoid PV TLB flush.

The loading time of a VM is quite significant with a CPU usage
reaching 100% when loading a VM that its virtio devices use a
large amount of virt-queues (e.g. a virtio-serial device with
max_ports=511). Most of the time is spend in re-sorting the
kvm_io_bus kvm_io_range array when a new eventfd is registered.
The patch replaces the existing method with an insert sort.

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.
