The RCU use in kvm_irqfd_deassign is tricky: we have rcu_assign_pointer
but no synchronize_rcu: synchronize_rcu is done by kvm_irq_routing_update
which we share a spinlock with.

Currently vm86 task is initialized on each real mode entry and vcpu
reset. Initialization is done by zeroing TSS and updating relevant
fields. But since all vcpus are using the same TSS there is a race where
one vcpu may use TSS while other vcpu is initializing it, so the vcpu
that uses TSS will see wrong TSS content and will behave incorrectly.
Fix that by initializing TSS only once.

When rmode.vm86 is active TR descriptor is updated with vm86 task values,
but selector is left intact. vmx_set_segment() makes sure that if TR

for use after vm86 is deactivated, but since selector is not updated on

When we enable an NMI window, we ask for an IRET intercept, since
the IRET re-enables NMIs. However, the IRET intercept happens before
the instruction executes, while the NMI window architecturally opens
afterwards.
To compensate for this mismatch, we only open the NMI window in the
following exit, assuming that the IRET has by then executed; however,
this assumption is not always correct; we may exit due to a host interrupt
or page fault, without having executed the instruction.
Fix by checking for forward progress by recording and comparing the IRET's
rip. This is somewhat of a hack, since an unchaging rip does not mean that
no forward progress has been made, but is the simplest fix for now.

The interrupt injection logic looks something like
if an nmi is pending, and nmi injection allowed
inject nmi
if an nmi is pending
request exit on nmi window
the problem is that "nmi is pending" can be set asynchronously by
the PIT; if it happens to fire between the two if statements, we
will request an nmi window even though nmi injection is allowed. On
SVM, this has disasterous results, since it causes eflags.TF to be
set in random guest code.
The fix is simple; make nmi_pending synchronous using the standard
vcpu->requests mechanism; this ensures the code above is completely
synchronous wrt nmi_pending.

is_hwpoison_address only checks whether the page table entry is
hwpoisoned, regardless the memory page mapped. While __get_user_pages
will check both.
QEMU will clear the poisoned page table entry (via unmap/map) to make
it possible to allocate a new memory page for the virtual address
across guest rebooting. But it is also possible that the underlying
memory page is kept poisoned even after the corresponding page table
entry is cleared, that is, a new memory page can not be allocated.
__get_user_pages can catch these situations.

can distinguish HWPOISON pages from general FAULT pages, while other
callers will still get -EFAULT for all these pages, so the user space
interface need not to be changed.
This feature is needed by KVM, where UCR MCE should be relayed to
guest for HWPOISON page, while instruction emulation and MMIO will be
tried for general FAULT page.

A correction to Intel cpu model CPUID data (patch queued)
caused winxp to BSOD when booted with a Penryn model.
This was traced to the CPUID "model" field correction from
6 -> 23 (as is proper for a Penryn class of cpu). Only in
this case does the problem surface.
The cause for this failure is winxp accessing the BBL_CR_CTL3
MSR which is unsupported by current kvm, appears to be a
legacy MSR not fully characterized yet existing in current
silicon, and is apparently carried forward in MSR space to
accommodate vintage code as here. It is not yet conclusive
whether this MSR implements any of its legacy functionality
or is just an ornamental dud for compatibility. While I
found no silicon version specific documentation link to
this MSR, a general description exists in Intel's developer's
reference which agrees with the functional behavior of
other bootloader/kernel code I've examined accessing
BBL_CR_CTL3. Regrettably winxp appears to be setting bit #19
called out as "reserved" in the above document.
So to minimally accommodate this MSR, kvm msr get will provide
the equivalent mock data and kvm msr write will simply toss the
guest passed data without interpretation. While this treatment
of BBL_CR_CTL3 addresses the immediate problem, the approach may
be modified pending clarification from Intel.
