When segment is accessed, real hardware does not perform any privilege level
checks. In contrast, KVM emulator does. This causes some discrepencies from
real hardware. For instance, reading from readable code segment may fail due to
incorrect segment checks. In addition, it introduces unnecassary overhead.
To reference Intel SDM 5.5 ("Privilege Levels"): "Privilege levels are checked
when the segment selector of a segment descriptor is loaded into a segment
register." The SDM never mentions privilege level checks during memory access,
except for loading far pointers in section 5.10 ("Pointer Validation"). Those
are actually segment selector loads and are emulated in the similarily (i.e.,
regardless to __linearize checks).
This behavior was also checked using sysexit. A data-segment whose DPL=0 was
loaded, and after sysexit (CPL=3) it is still accessible.
Therefore, all the privilege level checks in __linearize are removed.

When performing segmented-read/write in the emulator for stack operations, it
ignores the stack size, and uses the ad_bytes as indication for the pointer
size. As a result, a wrong address may be accessed.
To fix this behavior, we can remove the masking of address in __linearize and
perform it beforehand. It is already done for the operands (so currently it is
inefficiently done twice). It is missing in two cases:
1. When using rip_relative
2. On fetch_bit_operand that changes the address.
This patch masks the address on these two occassions, and removes the masking
from __linearize.
Note that it does not mask EIP during fetch. In protected/legacy mode code
fetch when RIP >= 2^32 should result in #GP and not wrap-around. Since we make
limit checks within __linearize, this is the expected behavior.

apic_find_highest_irr assumes irr_pending is set if any vector in APIC_IRR is
set. If this assumption is broken and apicv is disabled, the injection of
interrupts may be deferred until another interrupt is delivered to the guest.
Ultimately, if no other interrupt should be injected to that vCPU, the pending
interrupt may be lost.
commit 56cc2406d6 ("KVM: nVMX: fix "acknowledge interrupt on exit" when APICv
is in use") changed the behavior of apic_clear_irr so irr_pending is cleared
after setting APIC_IRR vector. After this commit, if apic_set_irr and
apic_clear_irr run simultaneously, a race may occur, resulting in APIC_IRR
vector set, and irr_pending cleared. In the following example, assume a single
vector is set in IRR prior to calling apic_clear_irr:
apic_set_irr apic_clear_irr
------------ --------------
apic->irr_pending = true;
apic_clear_vector(...);
vec = apic_search_irr(apic);
// => vec == -1
apic_set_vector(...);
apic->irr_pending = (vec != -1);
// => apic->irr_pending == false
Nonetheless, it appears the race might even occur prior to this commit:
apic_set_irr apic_clear_irr
------------ --------------
apic->irr_pending = true;
apic->irr_pending = false;
apic_clear_vector(...);
if (apic_search_irr(apic) != -1)
apic->irr_pending = true;
// => apic->irr_pending == false
apic_set_vector(...);
Fixing this issue by:
1. Restoring the previous behavior of apic_clear_irr: clear irr_pending, call
apic_clear_vector, and then if APIC_IRR is non-zero, set irr_pending.
2. On apic_set_irr: first call apic_set_vector, then set irr_pending.

Logical destination mode can be used to send NMI IPIs even when all
APICs are software disabled, so if all APICs are software disabled we
should still look at the DFRs.
So the DFRs should all be the same, even if some or all APICs are
software disabled. However, the SDM does not say this, so tweak
the logic as follows:
- if one APIC is enabled and has LDR != 0, use that one to build the map.
This picks the right DFR in case an OS is only setting it for the
software-enabled APICs, or in case an OS is using logical addressing
on some APICs while leaving the rest in reset state (using LDR was
suggested by Radim).
- if all APICs are disabled, pick a random one to build the map.
We use the last one with LDR != 0 for simplicity.

Currently, the APIC logical map does not consider VCPUs whose local-apic is
software-disabled. However, NMIs, INIT, etc. should still be delivered to such
VCPUs. Therefore, the APIC mode should first be determined, and then the map,
considering all VCPUs should be constructed.
To address this issue, first find the APIC mode, and only then construct the
logical map.

Task-switch emulation checks the privilege level prior to performing the

is unnecassary, since the CPU checks the privilege levels prior to exiting.
Intel SDM 25.4.2 says "If CALL or JMP accesses a TSS descriptor directly
outside IA-32e mode, privilege levels are checked on the TSS descriptor" prior
to exiting. AMD 15.14.1 says "The intercept is checked before the task switch

If the memory value changes between the first load (l) and the second
load (lg) we are broken. If that happens VCPU threads will hang
(unkillable) in handle_ipte_interlock.
Andreas Krebbel analyzed this and tracked it down to a compiler bug in
that version:
"while it is not that obvious the C99 standard basically forbids
duplicating the memory access also in that case. For an argumentation of
a similiar case please see:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22278#c43
For the implementation-defined cases regarding volatile there are some
GCC-specific clarifications which can be found here:
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Volatiles.html#Volatiles
I've tracked down the problem with a reduced testcase. The problem was
that during a tree level optimization (SRA - scalar replacement of
aggregates) the volatile marker is lost. And an RTL level optimizer (CSE
- common subexpression elimination) then propagated the memory read into
its second use introducing another access to the memory location. So
indeed Christian's suspicion that the union access has something to do
with it is correct (since it triggered the SRA optimization).
This issue has been reported and fixed in the GCC 4.8 development cycle:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58145"
This patch replaces the ACCESS_ONCE scheme with a barrier() based scheme
that should work for all supported compilers.

We can use get_cpu() and put_cpu() to replace
preempt_disable()/cpu = smp_processor_id() and
preempt_enable() for slightly better code.

We mirror a subset of these registers in separate variables.
Using them directly should be faster.

APIC-write VM exits are "trap-like": they save CS:RIP values for the
instruction after the write, and more importantly, the handler will
already see the new value in the virtual-APIC page. This means that
apic_reg_write cannot use kvm_apic_get_reg to omit timer cancelation
when mode changes.
timer_mode_mask shouldn't be changing as it depends on cpuid.
