cpuid_maxphyaddr(), which performs lot of memory accesses is called
extensively across KVM, especially in nVMX code.
This patch adds a cached value of maxphyaddr to vcpu.arch to reduce the
pressure onto CPU cache and simplify the code of cpuid_maxphyaddr()
callers. The cached value is initialized in kvm_arch_vcpu_init() and
reloaded every time CPUID is updated by usermode. It is obvious that
these reloads occur infrequently.

This is the size of the XSAVES area. This starts providing guest support
for XSAVES (with no support yet for supervisor states, i.e. XSS == 0

Wanpeng Li suggested testing XSAVEC as well as XSAVES, since in practice
no real processor exists that only has one of them, and there is no
other way for userspace programs to compute the area of the XSAVEC
save area. CPUID(EAX=0xd,ECX=1).EBX provides an upper bound.

Treat monitor and mwait instructions as nop, which is architecturally

monitor/mwait availability via cpuid.
Since mwait-based idle loops relying on these nop-emulated instructions
would keep the host CPU pegged at 100%, do NOT advertise their presence
via cpuid, to prevent compliant guests from using them inadvertently.

For x86 there are optimizations for debug registers, which trigger on

Intel MPX. There's also a fix/workaround for OS X guests, nested

When doing nested virtualization, we may be able to read BNDCFGS but
still not be allowed to write to GUEST_BNDCFGS in the VMCS. Guard
writes to the field with vmx_mpx_supported(), and similarly hide the
MSR from userspace if the processor does not support the field.
We could work around this with the generic MSR save/load machinery,
but there is only a limited number of MSR save/load slots and it is
not really worthwhile to waste one for a scenario that should not
happen except in the nested virtualization case.

XSAVE support for KVM is already using host_xcr0 & KVM_SUPPORTED_XCR0 as
a "dynamic" version of KVM_SUPPORTED_XCR0.
However, this is not enough because the MPX bits should not be presented
to the guest unless kvm_x86_ops confirms the support. So, replace all
instances of host_xcr0 & KVM_SUPPORTED_XCR0 with a new function
kvm_supported_xcr0() that also has this check.
Note that here:
if (xstate_bv & ~KVM_SUPPORTED_XCR0)
return -EINVAL;
if (xstate_bv & ~host_cr0)
return -EINVAL;
the code is equivalent to
if ((xstate_bv & ~KVM_SUPPORTED_XCR0) ||
(xstate_bv & ~host_cr0)
return -EINVAL;
i.e. "xstate_bv & (~KVM_SUPPORTED_XCR0 | ~host_cr0)" which is in turn
equal to "xstate_bv & ~(KVM_SUPPORTED_XCR0 & host_cr0)". So we should
also use the new function there.

This basically came from the need to be able to boot 32-bit Atom SMP
guests on an AMD host, i.e. a host which doesn't support MOVBE. As a
matter of fact, qemu has since recently received MOVBE support but we
cannot share that with kvm emulation and thus we have to do this in the
host. We're waay faster in kvm anyway. :-)
So, we piggyback on the #UD path and emulate the MOVBE functionality.
With it, an 8-core SMP guest boots in under 6 seconds.
Also, requesting MOVBE emulation needs to happen explicitly to work,
i.e. qemu -cpu n270,+movbe...
Just FYI, a fairly straight-forward boot of a MOVBE-enabled 3.9-rc6+
kernel in kvm executes MOVBE ~60K times.

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.

For guests with EPT, the PCID feature is enabled and INVPCID behaves as running
natively.
For guests without EPT, the PCID feature is disabled and INVPCID triggers #UD.

Introduce kvm_cpuid() to perform the leaf limit check and calculate
register values, and let kvm_emulate_cpuid() just handle reading and
writing the registers from/to the vcpu. This allows us to reuse
kvm_cpuid() in a context where directly reading and writing registers
is not desired.

Implementation of PV EOI using shared memory.
This reduces the number of exits an interrupt
causes as much as by half.
The idea is simple: there's a bit, per APIC, in guest memory,
that tells the guest that it does not need EOI.
We set it before injecting an interrupt and clear
before injecting a nested one. Guest tests it using
a test and clear operation - this is necessary
so that host can detect interrupt nesting -
and if set, it can skip the EOI MSR.
There's a new MSR to set the address of said register
in guest memory. Otherwise not much changed:
- Guest EOI is not required
- Register is tested & ISR is automatically cleared on exit
For testing results see description of previous patch
'kvm_para: guest side for eoi avoidance'.

cpuid eax should return the max leaf so that
guests can find out the valid range.
This matches Xen et al.
Update documentation to match.
Tested with -cpu host.
