When L1 don't use TPR-Shadow to run L2, L0 configures vmcs02 without
TPR-Shadow and install intercepts on CR8 access (load and store).
If L1 do not intercept L2 CR8 access, L0 intercepts on those accesses
will emulate load/store on L1's LAPIC TPR. If in this case L2 lowers
TPR such that there is now an injectable interrupt to L1,
apic_update_ppr() will request a KVM_REQ_EVENT which will trigger a call
to update_cr8_intercept() to update TPR-Threshold to highest pending IRR
priority.
However, this update to TPR-Threshold is done while active vmcs is
vmcs02 instead of vmcs01. Thus, when later at some point L0 will
emulate an exit from L2 to L1, L1 will still run with high
TPR-Threshold. This will result in every VMEntry to L1 to immediately
exit on TPR_BELOW_THRESHOLD and continue to do so infinitely until
some condition will cause KVM_REQ_EVENT to be set.
(Note that TPR_BELOW_THRESHOLD exit handler do not set KVM_REQ_EVENT
until apic_update_ppr() will notice a new injectable interrupt for PPR)
To fix this issue, change update_cr8_intercept() such that if L2 lowers
L1's TPR in a way that requires to lower L1's TPR-Threshold, save update
to TPR-Threshold and apply it to vmcs01 when L0 emulates an exit from
L2 to L1.

Intel SDM section 25.2 OTHER CAUSES OF VM EXITS specifies the following
on INIT signals: "Such exits do not modify register state or clear pending
events as they would outside of VMX operation."
When commit 4b9852f4f3 ("KVM: x86: Fix INIT signal handling in various CPU states")
was applied, I interepted above Intel SDM statement such that
INIT_SIGNAL exit don’t consume the LAPIC INIT pending event.
However, when Nadav Amit run matching kvm-unit-test on a bare-metal
machine, it turned out my interpetation was wrong. i.e. INIT_SIGNAL
exit does consume the LAPIC INIT pending event.
(See: https://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg196757.html)
Therefore, fix KVM code to behave as observed on bare-metal.

Write the desired L2 CR3 into vmcs02.GUEST_CR3 during nested VM-Enter
instead of deferring the VMWRITE until vmx_set_cr3(). If the VMWRITE
is deferred, then KVM can consume a stale vmcs02.GUEST_CR3 when it
refreshes vmcs12->guest_cr3 during nested_vmx_vmexit() if the emulated
VM-Exit occurs without actually entering L2, e.g. if the nested run
is squashed because nested VM-Enter (from L1) is putting L2 into HLT.
Note, the above scenario can occur regardless of whether L1 is
intercepting HLT, e.g. L1 can intercept HLT and then re-enter L2 with
vmcs.GUEST_ACTIVITY_STATE=HALTED. But practically speaking, a VMM will
likely put a guest into HALTED if and only if it's not intercepting HLT.
In an ideal world where EPT *requires* unrestricted guest (and vice
versa), VMX could handle CR3 similar to how it handles RSP and RIP,
e.g. mark CR3 dirty and conditionally load it at vmx_vcpu_run(). But
the unrestricted guest silliness complicates the dirty tracking logic
to the point that explicitly handling vmcs02.GUEST_CR3 during nested
VM-Enter is a simpler overall implementation.

Current versions of Intel's SDM incorrectly state that "bits 31:15 of
the VM-Entry exception error-code field" must be zero. In reality, bits
31:16 must be zero, i.e. error codes are 16-bit values.
The bogus error code check manifests as an unexpected VM-Entry failure
due to an invalid code field (error number 7) in L1, e.g. when injecting
a #GP with error_code=0x9f00.

Allowing an unlimited number of MSRs to be specified via the VMX
load/store MSR lists (e.g., vm-entry MSR load list) is bad for two
reasons. First, a guest can specify an unreasonable number of MSRs,
forcing KVM to process all of them in software. Second, the SDM bounds
the number of MSRs allowed to be packed into the atomic switch MSR lists.
Quoting the "Miscellaneous Data" section in the "VMX Capability
Reporting Facility" appendix:
"Bits 27:25 is used to compute the recommended maximum number of MSRs
that should appear in the VM-exit MSR-store list, the VM-exit MSR-load
list, or the VM-entry MSR-load list. Specifically, if the value bits
27:25 of IA32_VMX_MISC is N, then 512 * (N + 1) is the recommended
maximum number of MSRs to be included in each list. If the limit is
exceeded, undefined processor behavior may result (including a machine
check during the VMX transition)."
Because KVM needs to protect itself and can't model "undefined processor
behavior", arbitrarily force a VM-entry to fail due to MSR loading when
the MSR load list is too large. Similarly, trigger an abort during a VM
exit that encounters an MSR load list or MSR store list that is too large.
The MSR list size is intentionally not pre-checked so as to maintain
compatibility with hardware inasmuch as possible.
Test these new checks with the kvm-unit-test "x86: nvmx: test max atomic
switch MSRs".

UMONITOR, UMWAIT and TPAUSE are a set of user wait instructions.
This patch adds support for user wait instructions in KVM. Availability
of the user wait instructions is indicated by the presence of the CPUID
feature flag WAITPKG CPUID.0x07.0x0:ECX[5]. User wait instructions may
be executed at any privilege level, and use 32bit IA32_UMWAIT_CONTROL MSR
to set the maximum time.
The behavior of user wait instructions in VMX non-root operation is
determined first by the setting of the "enable user wait and pause"
secondary processor-based VM-execution control bit 26.
If the VM-execution control is 0, UMONITOR/UMWAIT/TPAUSE cause
an invalid-opcode exception (#UD).
If the VM-execution control is 1, treatment is based on the
setting of the “RDTSC exiting†VM-execution control. Because KVM never
enables RDTSC exiting, if the instruction causes a delay, the amount of
time delayed is called here the physical delay. The physical delay is
first computed by determining the virtual delay. If
IA32_UMWAIT_CONTROL[31:2] is zero, the virtual delay is the value in
EDX:EAX minus the value that RDTSC would return; if
IA32_UMWAIT_CONTROL[31:2] is not zero, the virtual delay is the minimum
of that difference and AND(IA32_UMWAIT_CONTROL,FFFFFFFCH).
Because umwait and tpause can put a (psysical) CPU into a power saving
state, by default we dont't expose it to kvm and enable it only when
guest CPUID has it.
Detailed information about user wait instructions can be found in the
latest Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual.

Commit cd7764fe9f ("KVM: x86: latch INITs while in system management mode")
changed code to latch INIT while vCPU is in SMM and process latched INIT
when leaving SMM. It left a subtle remark in commit message that similar
treatment should also be done while vCPU is in VMX non-root-mode.
However, INIT signals should actually be latched in various vCPU states:
(*) For both Intel and AMD, INIT signals should be latched while vCPU
is in SMM.
(*) For Intel, INIT should also be latched while vCPU is in VMX
operation and later processed when vCPU leaves VMX operation by
executing VMXOFF.
(*) For AMD, INIT should also be latched while vCPU runs with GIF=0
or in guest-mode with intercept defined on INIT signal.
To fix this:
1) Add kvm_x86_ops->apic_init_signal_blocked() such that each CPU vendor
can define the various CPU states in which INIT signals should be
blocked and modify kvm_apic_accept_events() to use it.
2) Modify vmx_check_nested_events() to check for pending INIT signal
while vCPU in guest-mode. If so, emualte vmexit on
EXIT_REASON_INIT_SIGNAL. Note that nSVM should have similar behaviour
but is currently left as a TODO comment to implement in the future
because nSVM don't yet implement svm_check_nested_events().
Note: Currently KVM nVMX implementation don't support VMX wait-for-SIPI
activity state as specified in MSR_IA32_VMX_MISC bits 6:8 exposed to
guest (See nested_vmx_setup_ctls_msrs()).
If and when support for this activity state will be implemented,
kvm_check_nested_events() would need to avoid emulating vmexit on
INIT signal in case activity-state is wait-for-SIPI. In addition,
kvm_apic_accept_events() would need to be modified to avoid discarding
SIPI in case VMX activity-state is wait-for-SIPI but instead delay
SIPI processing to vmx_check_nested_events() that would clear
pending APIC events and emulate vmexit on SIPI.

check failure. Take the opportunity to print the name of the error code
instead of dumping the raw hex number, but limit the symbol table to
error codes that can reasonably be encountered by KVM.

Debugging a failed VM-Enter is often like searching for a needle in a
haystack, e.g. there are over 80 consistency checks that funnel into
the "invalid control field" error code. One way to expedite debug is
to run the buggy code as an L1 guest under KVM (and pray that the
failing check is detected by KVM). However, extracting useful debug
information out of L0 KVM requires attaching a debugger to KVM and/or
modifying the source, e.g. to log which check is failing.
Make life a little less painful for VMM developers and add a tracepoint
for failed VM-Enter consistency checks. Ideally the tracepoint would
capture both what check failed and precisely why it failed, but logging
why a checked failed is difficult to do in a generic tracepoint without
resorting to invasive techniques, e.g. generating a custom string on
failure. That being said, for the vast majority of VM-Enter failures
the most difficult step is figuring out exactly what to look at, e.g.
figuring out which bit was incorrectly set in a control field is usually
not too painful once the guilty field as been identified.
To reach a happy medium between precision and ease of use, simply log
the code that detected a failed check, using a macro to execute the
check and log the trace event on failure. This approach enables tracing
arbitrary code, e.g. it's not limited to function calls or specific
formats of checks, and the changes to the existing code are minimally
invasive. A macro with a two-character name is desirable as usage of
the macro doesn't result in overly long lines or confusing alignment,
while still retaining some amount of readability. I.e. a one-character
name is a little too terse, and a three-character name results in the
contents being passed to the macro aligning with an indented line when
the macro is used an in if-statement, e.g.:
if (VCC(nested_vmx_check_long_line_one(...) &&
nested_vmx_check_long_line_two(...)))
return -EINVAL;
And that is the story of how the CC(), a.k.a. Consistency Check, macro
got its name.

This is incorrect, the base applies only to FS and GS, not to the others.
Because of that, if the guest uses a VMX instruction based on DS and has

Merge tag 'kvm-arm-for-5.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvmarm/kvmarm into HEAD
KVM/arm updates for 5.3
- Add support for chained PMU counters in guests
- Improve SError handling
- Handle Neoverse N1 erratum #1349291
- Allow side-channel mitigation status to be migrated
- Standardise most AArch64 system register accesses to msr_s/mrs_s
- Fix host MPIDR corruption on 32bit
According to section "Checks on Host Segment and Descriptor-Table
Registers" in Intel SDM vol 3C, the following checks are performed on
vmentry of nested guests:
- In the selector field for each of CS, SS, DS, ES, FS, GS and TR, the
RPL (bits 1:0) and the TI flag (bit 2) must be 0.
- The selector fields for CS and TR cannot be 0000H.
- The selector field for SS cannot be 0000H if the "host address-space
size" VM-exit control is 0.
- On processors that support Intel 64 architecture, the base-address
fields for FS, GS and TR must contain canonical addresses.

KVM does not have 100% coverage of VMX consistency checks, i.e. some
checks that cause VM-Fail may only be detected by hardware during a
nested VM-Entry. In such a case, KVM must restore L1's state to the
pre-VM-Enter state as L2's state has already been loaded into KVM's
software model.
L1's CR3 and PDPTRs in particular are loaded from vmcs01.GUEST_*. But
when EPT is disabled, the associated fields hold KVM's shadow values,
not L1's "real" values. Fortunately, when EPT is disabled the PDPTRs
come from memory, i.e. are not cached in the VMCS. Which leaves CR3
as the sole anomaly.
A previously applied workaround to handle CR3 was to force nested early
checks if EPT is disabled:
commit 2b27924bb1 ("KVM: nVMX: always use early vmcs check when EPT
is disabled")
Forcing nested early checks is undesirable as doing so adds hundreds of
cycles to every nested VM-Entry. Rather than take this performance hit,
handle CR3 by overwriting vmcs01.GUEST_CR3 with L1's CR3 during nested
VM-Entry when EPT is disabled *and* nested early checks are disabled.
By stuffing vmcs01.GUEST_CR3, nested_vmx_restore_host_state() will
naturally restore the correct vcpu->arch.cr3 from vmcs01.GUEST_CR3.
These shenanigans work because nested_vmx_restore_host_state() does a
full kvm_mmu_reset_context(), i.e. unloads the current MMU, which
guarantees vmcs01.GUEST_CR3 will be rewritten with a new shadow CR3
prior to re-entering L1.
vcpu->arch.root_mmu.root_hpa is set to INVALID_PAGE via:
nested_vmx_restore_host_state() ->
kvm_mmu_reset_context() ->
kvm_mmu_unload() ->
kvm_mmu_free_roots()
kvm_mmu_unload() has WARN_ON(root_hpa != INVALID_PAGE), i.e. we can bank
on 'root_hpa == INVALID_PAGE' unless the implementation of
kvm_mmu_reset_context() is changed.
On the way into L1, VMCS.GUEST_CR3 is guaranteed to be written (on a
successful entry) via:
vcpu_enter_guest() ->
kvm_mmu_reload() ->
kvm_mmu_load() ->
kvm_mmu_load_cr3() ->
vmx_set_cr3()
Stuff vmcs01.GUEST_CR3 if and only if nested early checks are disabled
as a "late" VM-Fail should never happen win that case (KVM WARNs), and
the conditional write avoids the need to restore the correct GUEST_CR3
when nested_vmx_check_vmentry_hw() fails.

Currently KVM_STATE_NESTED_EVMCS is used to signal that eVMCS
capability is enabled on vCPU.
As indicated by vmx->nested.enlightened_vmcs_enabled.
This is quite bizarre as userspace VMM should make sure to expose
same vCPU with same CPUID values in both source and destination.
In case vCPU is exposed with eVMCS support on CPUID, it is also
expected to enable KVM_CAP_HYPERV_ENLIGHTENED_VMCS capability.
Therefore, KVM_STATE_NESTED_EVMCS is redundant.
KVM_STATE_NESTED_EVMCS is currently used on restore path
(vmx_set_nested_state()) only to enable eVMCS capability in KVM
and to signal need_vmcs12_sync such that on next VMEntry to guest
nested_sync_from_vmcs12() will be called to sync vmcs12 content
into eVMCS in guest memory.
However, because restore nested-state is rare enough, we could
have just modified vmx_set_nested_state() to always signal
need_vmcs12_sync.
From all the above, it seems that we could have just removed
the usage of KVM_STATE_NESTED_EVMCS. However, in order to preserve
backwards migration compatibility, we cannot do that.
(vmx_get_nested_state() needs to signal flag when migrating from
new kernel to old kernel).
Returning KVM_STATE_NESTED_EVMCS when just vCPU have eVMCS enabled
have a bad side-effect of userspace VMM having to send nested-state
from source to destination as part of migration stream. Even if
guest have never used eVMCS as it doesn't even run a nested
hypervisor workload. This requires destination userspace VMM and
KVM to support setting nested-state. Which make it more difficult
to migrate from new host to older host.
To avoid this, change KVM_STATE_NESTED_EVMCS to signal eVMCS is
not only enabled but also active. i.e. Guest have made some
eVMCS active via an enlightened VMEntry. i.e. vmcs12 is copied
from eVMCS and therefore should be restored into eVMCS resident
in memory (by copy_vmcs12_to_enlightened()).

As comment in code specifies, SMM temporarily disables VMX so we cannot
be in guest mode, nor can VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME be pending.
However, code currently assumes that these are the only flags that can be
set on kvm_state->flags. This is not true as KVM_STATE_NESTED_EVMCS
can also be set on this field to signal that eVMCS should be enabled.
Therefore, fix code to check for guest-mode and pending VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME

When L0 is executing handle_invept(), the TDP MMU is active. Emulating
an L1 INVEPT does require synchronizing the appropriate shadow EPT
root(s), but a call to kvm_mmu_sync_roots in this context won't do
that. Similarly, the hardware TLB and paging-structure-cache entries
associated with the appropriate shadow EPT root(s) must be flushed,
but requesting a TLB_FLUSH from this context won't do that either.
How did this ever work? KVM always does a sync_roots and TLB flush (in
the correct context) when transitioning from L1 to L2. That isn't the
best choice for nested VM performance, but it effectively papers over
the mistakes here.
Remove the unnecessary operations and leave a comment to try to do
better in the future.

When Enlightened VMCS is in use, it is valid to do VMCLEAR and,
according to TLFS, this should "transition an enlightened VMCS from the
active to the non-active state". It is, however, wrong to assume that
it is only valid to do VMCLEAR for the eVMCS which is currently active
on the vCPU performing VMCLEAR.
Currently, the logic in handle_vmclear() is broken: in case, there is no
active eVMCS on the vCPU doing VMCLEAR we treat the argument as a 'normal'
VMCS and kvm_vcpu_write_guest() to the 'launch_state' field irreversibly
corrupts the memory area.
So, in case the VMCLEAR argument is not the current active eVMCS on the
vCPU, how can we know if the area it is pointing to is a normal or an
enlightened VMCS?
Thanks to the bug in Hyper-V (see commit 72aeb60c52 ("KVM: nVMX: Verify
eVMCS revision id match supported eVMCS version on eVMCS VMPTRLD")) we can
not, the revision can't be used to distinguish between them. So let's
assume it is always enlightened in case enlightened vmentry is enabled in
the assist page. Also, check if vmx->nested.enlightened_vmcs_enabled to
minimize the impact for 'unenlightened' workloads.

Improve the KVM_{GET,SET}_NESTED_STATE structs by detailing the format
of VMX nested state data in a struct.
In order to avoid changing the ioctl values of
KVM_{GET,SET}_NESTED_STATE, there is a need to preserve
sizeof(struct kvm_nested_state). This is done by defining the data
struct as "data.vmx[0]". It was the most elegant way I found to
preserve struct size while still keeping struct readable and easy to
maintain. It does have a misfortunate side-effect that now it has to be
accessed as "data.vmx[0]" rather than just "data.vmx".
Because we are already modifying these structs, I also modified the
following:
* Define the "format" field values as macros.
* Rename vmcs_pa to vmcs12_pa for better readability.

VMWRITEs to the major VMCS controls, pin controls included, are
deceptively expensive. CPUs with VMCS caching (Westmere and later) also
optimize away consistency checks on VM-Entry, i.e. skip consistency
checks if the relevant fields have not changed since the last successful
VM-Entry (of the cached VMCS). Because uops are a precious commodity,
uCode's dirty VMCS field tracking isn't as precise as software would
prefer. Notably, writing any of the major VMCS fields effectively marks
the entire VMCS dirty, i.e. causes the next VM-Entry to perform all
consistency checks, which consumes several hundred cycles.
As it pertains to KVM, toggling PIN_BASED_VMX_PREEMPTION_TIMER more than
doubles the latency of the next VM-Entry (and again when/if the flag is
toggled back). In a non-nested scenario, running a "standard" guest
with the preemption timer enabled, toggling the timer flag is uncommon
but not rare, e.g. roughly 1 in 10 entries. Disabling the preemption
timer can change these numbers due to its use for "immediate exits",
even when explicitly disabled by userspace.
Nested virtualization in particular is painful, as the timer flag is set
for the majority of VM-Enters, but prepare_vmcs02() initializes vmcs02's
pin controls to *clear* the flag since its the timer's final state isn't
known until vmx_vcpu_run(). I.e. the majority of nested VM-Enters end
up unnecessarily writing pin controls *twice*.
Rather than toggle the timer flag in pin controls, set the timer value
itself to the largest allowed value to put it into a "soft disabled"
state, and ignore any spurious preemption timer exits.
Sadly, the timer is a 32-bit value and so theoretically it can fire
before the head death of the universe, i.e. spurious exits are possible.
But because KVM does *not* save the timer value on VM-Exit and because
the timer runs at a slower rate than the TSC, the maximuma timer value
is still sufficiently large for KVM's purposes. E.g. on a modern CPU
with a timer that runs at 1/32 the frequency of a 2.4ghz constant-rate
TSC, the timer will fire after ~55 seconds of *uninterrupted* guest
execution. In other words, spurious VM-Exits are effectively only
possible if the host is completely tickless on the logical CPU, the
guest is not using the preemption timer, and the guest is not generating
VM-Exits for any other reason.
To be safe from bad/weird hardware, disable the preemption timer if its
maximum delay is less than ten seconds. Ten seconds is mostly arbitrary
and was selected in no small part because it's a nice round number.
For simplicity and paranoia, fall back to __kvm_request_immediate_exit()
if the preemption timer is disabled by KVM or userspace. Previously
KVM continued to use the preemption timer to force immediate exits even
when the timer was disabled by userspace. Now that KVM leaves the timer
running instead of truly disabling it, allow userspace to kill it
entirely in the unlikely event the timer (or KVM) malfunctions.

Per Intel's SDM:
... the logical processor uses PAE paging if CR0.PG=1, CR4.PAE=1 and
IA32_EFER.LME=0. A VM entry to a guest that uses PAE paging loads the
PDPTEs into internal, non-architectural registers based on the setting
of the "enable EPT" VM-execution control.
and:
[GUEST_PDPTR] values are saved into the four PDPTE fields as follows:
- If the "enable EPT" VM-execution control is 0 or the logical
processor was not using PAE paging at the time of the VM exit,
the values saved are undefined.
In other words, if EPT is disabled or the guest isn't using PAE paging,
then the PDPTRS aren't consumed by hardware on VM-Entry and are loaded
with junk on VM-Exit. From a nesting perspective, all of the above hold
true, i.e. KVM can effectively ignore the VMCS PDPTRs. E.g. KVM already
loads the PDPTRs from memory when nested EPT is disabled (see
nested_vmx_load_cr3()).
Because KVM intercepts setting CR4.PAE, there is no danger of consuming
a stale value or crushing L1's VMWRITEs regardless of whether L1
intercepts CR4.PAE. The vmcs12's values are unchanged up until the
VM-Exit where L2 sets CR4.PAE, i.e. L0 will see the new PAE state on the
subsequent VM-Entry and propagate the PDPTRs from vmcs12 to vmcs02.
