c4627c72e9 KVM: nVMX: Reset RFLAGS on VM-exit
Ouch, how could this work so well that far? We need to clear RFLAGS to
the reset value as specified by the SDM. Particularly, IF must be off

c08800a56c KVM: VMX: disable SMEP feature when guest is in non-paging mode
SMEP is disabled if CPU is in non-paging mode in hardware.
However KVM always uses paging mode to emulate guest non-paging
mode with TDP. To emulate this behavior, SMEP needs to be manually
disabled when guest switches to non-paging mode.

We met an issue that, SMP Linux guest with recent kernel (enable
SMEP support, for example, 3.5.3) would crash with triple fault if
setting unrestricted_guest=0. This is because KVM uses an identity
mapping page table to emulate the non-paging mode, where the page
table is set with USER flag. If SMEP is still enabled in this case,
guest will meet unhandlable page fault and then crash.

c7c9c56ca2 x86, apicv: add virtual interrupt delivery support
Virtual interrupt delivery avoids KVM to inject vAPIC interrupts
manually, which is fully taken care of by the hardware. This needs
some special awareness into existing interrupr injection path:

- for pending interrupt, instead of direct injection, we may need
  update architecture specific indicators before resuming to guest.

- A pending interrupt, which is masked by ISR, should be also
  considered in above update action, since hardware will decide
  when to inject it at right time. Current has_interrupt and
  get_interrupt only returns a valid vector from injection p.o.v.

0ca1b4f4ba KVM: VMX: handle IO when emulation is due to #GP in real mode.
With emulate_invalid_guest_state=0 if a vcpu is in real mode VMX can
enter the vcpu with smaller segment limit than guest configured.  If the
guest tries to access pass this limit it will get #GP at which point
instruction will be emulated with correct segment limit applied. If
during the emulation IO is detected it is not handled correctly. Vcpu
thread should exit to userspace to serve the IO, but it returns to the
guest instead.  Since emulation is not completed till userspace completes
the IO the faulty instruction is re-executed ad infinitum.

The patch fixes that by exiting to userspace if IO happens during
instruction emulation.

c6ad115348 KVM: VMX: return correct segment limit and flags for CS/SS registers in real mode
VMX without unrestricted mode cannot virtualize real mode, so if
emulate_invalid_guest_state=0 kvm uses vm86 mode to approximate
it. Sometimes, when guest moves from protected mode to real mode, it
leaves segment descriptors in a state not suitable for use by vm86 mode
virtualization, so we keep shadow copy of segment descriptors for internal
use and load fake register to VMCS for guest entry to succeed. Till
now we kept shadow for all segments except SS and CS (for SS and CS we
returned parameters directly from VMCS), but since commit a5625189f6
emulator enforces segment limits in real mode. This causes #GP during move
from protected mode to real mode when emulator fetches first instruction
after moving to real mode since it uses incorrect CS base and limit to
linearize the %rip. Fix by keeping shadow for SS and CS too.

ba904635d4 KVM: x86: Emulate IA32_TSC_ADJUST MSR
CPUID.7.0.EBX[1]=1 indicates IA32_TSC_ADJUST MSR 0x3b is supported

Basic design is to emulate the MSR by allowing reads and writes to a guest
vcpu specific location to store the value of the emulated MSR while adding
the value to the vmcs tsc_offset. In this way the IA32_TSC_ADJUST value will
be included in all reads to the TSC MSR whether through rdmsr or rdtsc. This
is of course as long as the "use TSC counter offsetting" VM-execution control
is enabled as well as the IA32_TSC_ADJUST control.

However, because hardware will only return the TSC + IA32_TSC_ADJUST +
vmsc tsc_offset for a guest process when it does and rdtsc (with the correct
settings) the value of our virtualized IA32_TSC_ADJUST must be stored in one
of these three locations. The argument against storing it in the actual MSR
is performance. This is likely to be seldom used while the save/restore is
required on every transition. IA32_TSC_ADJUST was created as a way to solve
some issues with writing TSC itself so that is not an option either.

The remaining option, defined above as our solution has the problem of
returning incorrect vmcs tsc_offset values (unless we intercept and fix, not
done here) as mentioned above. However, more problematic is that storing the
data in vmcs tsc_offset will have a different semantic effect on the system
than does using the actual MSR. This is illustrated in the following example:

The hypervisor set the IA32_TSC_ADJUST, then the guest sets it and a guest
process performs a rdtsc. In this case the guest process will get
TSC + IA32_TSC_ADJUST_hyperviser + vmsc tsc_offset including
IA32_TSC_ADJUST_guest. While the total system semantics changed the semantics
as seen by the guest do not and hence this will not cause a problem.

8fe8ab46be KVM: x86: Add code to track call origin for msr assignment
In order to track who initiated the call (host or guest) to modify an msr
value I have changed function call parameters along the call path. The
specific change is to add a struct pointer parameter that points to (index,
data, caller) information rather than having this information passed as
individual parameters.

The initial use for this capability is for updating the IA32_TSC_ADJUST msr
while setting the tsc value. It is anticipated that this capability is
useful for other tasks.

5a560f8b5e KVM: VMX: fix memory order between loading vmcs and clearing vmcs
vmcs->cpu indicates whether it exists on the target cpu, -1 means the vmcs
does not exist on any vcpu

If vcpu load vmcs with vmcs.cpu = -1, it can be directly added to cpu's percpu
list. The list can be corrupted if the cpu prefetch the vmcs's list before
reading vmcs->cpu. Meanwhile, we should remove vmcs from the list before
making vmcs->vcpu == -1 be visible

e6c7d32172 KVM: VMX: fix invalid cpu passed to smp_call_function_single
In loaded_vmcs_clear, loaded_vmcs->cpu is the fist parameter passed to
smp_call_function_single, if the target cpu is downing (doing cpu hot remove),
loaded_vmcs->cpu can become -1 then -1 is passed to smp_call_function_single

It can be triggered when vcpu is being destroyed, loaded_vmcs_clear is called
in the preemptionable context
