KVM_CAP_HALT_POLL is a per-VM capability that lets userspace
control the halt-polling time, allowing halt-polling to be tuned or
disabled on particular VMs.
With dynamic halt-polling, a VM's VCPUs can poll from anywhere from
[0, halt_poll_ns] on each halt. KVM_CAP_HALT_POLL sets the
upper limit on the poll time.

Use an unsigned long for 'exit_qual' in nested_vmx_reflect_vmexit(), the
EXIT_QUALIFICATION field is naturally sized, not a 32-bit field.
The bug is most easily observed by doing VMXON (or any VMX instruction)
in L2 with a negative displacement, in which case dropping the upper
bits on nested VM-Exit results in L1 calculating the wrong virtual
address for the memory operand, e.g. "vmxon -0x8(%rbp)" yields:
Unhandled cpu exception 14 #PF at ip 0000000000400553

Clean up some of the patching of kvm_x86_ops, by moving kvm_x86_ops related to
nested virtualization into a separate struct.
As a result, these ops will always be non-NULL on VMX. This is not a problem:
* check_nested_events is only called if is_guest_mode(vcpu) returns true
* get_nested_state treats VMXOFF state the same as nested being disabled
* set_nested_state fails if you attempt to set nested state while
nesting is disabled
* nested_enable_evmcs could already be called on a CPU without VMX enabled
in CPUID.
* nested_get_evmcs_version was fixed in the previous patch
Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

In the next patch nested_get_evmcs_version will be always set in kvm_x86_ops for
VMX, even if nesting is disabled. Therefore, check whether VMX (aka nesting)
is available in the function, the caller will not do the check anymore.

On AMD, the state of the VMCB is undefined after a shutdown VMEXIT. KVM
takes a very conservative approach to that and resets the guest altogether
when that happens. This causes the set_memory_region_test to fail
because the RIP is 0xfff0 (the reset vector). Restrict the RIP test
to KVM_EXIT_INTERNAL_ERROR in order to fix this.

When a nested page fault is taken from an address that does not have
a memslot associated to it, kvm_mmu_do_page_fault returns RET_PF_EMULATE
(via mmu_set_spte) and kvm_mmu_page_fault then invokes svm_need_emulation_on_page_fault.
The default answer there is to return false, but in this case this just
causes the page fault to be retried ad libitum. Since this is not a
fast path, and the only other case where it is taken is an erratum,
just stick a kvm_vcpu_gfn_to_memslot check in there to detect the
common case where the erratum is not happening.
This fixes an infinite loop in the new set_memory_region_test.

To integrate with logrotate, we have a signal handler that will re-open
the logfile.
Assuming we have a systemd unit file with
ExecStart=kvm_stat -dtc -s 10 -L /var/log/kvm_stat.csv
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
and a logrotate config featuring
postrotate
/bin/systemctl reload kvm_stat.service
endscript
Then the overall flow will look like this:
(1) systemd starts kvm_stat, logging to A.
(2) At some point, logrotate runs, moving A to B.
kvm_stat continues to write to B at this point.
(3) After rotating, logrotate restarts the kvm_stat unit via systemctl.
(4) The kvm_stat unit sends a SIGHUP to kvm_stat, finally making it
switch over to writing to A again.
Note that in order to keep the structure of the cvs output in tact, we
make sure to, in contrast to the standard log format, only write the
header once at the beginning of a file. This implies that the header is
suppressed when appending to an existing file. Unlike with the standard
format, where we append to an existing file by starting out with a
header.

In earlier versions of kvm, 'kvm_run' was an independent structure
and was not included in the vcpu structure. At present, 'kvm_run'
is already included in the vcpu structure, so the parameter
'kvm_run' is redundant.
This patch simplifies the function definition, removes the extra
'kvm_run' parameter, and extracts it from the 'kvm_vcpu' structure
if necessary.

Remove all references to cr3_target_value[0-3] and replace the fields
in vmcs12 with "dead_space" to preserve the vmcs12 layout. KVM doesn't
support emulating CR3-target values, despite a variety of code that
implies otherwise, as KVM unconditionally reports '0' for the number of
supported CR3-target values.
This technically fixes a bug where KVM would incorrectly allow VMREAD
and VMWRITE to nonexistent fields, i.e. cr3_target_value[0-3]. Per
Intel's SDM, the number of supported CR3-target values reported in
VMX_MISC also enumerates the existence of the associated VMCS fields:
If a future implementation supports more than 4 CR3-target values, they
will be encoded consecutively following the 4 encodings given here.
Alternatively, the "bug" could be fixed by actually advertisting support
for 4 CR3-target values, but that'd likely just enable kvm-unit-tests
given that no one has complained about lack of support for going on ten
years, e.g. KVM, Xen and HyperV don't use CR3-target values.

Explicitly set @writable to false in try_async_pf() if the GFN->PFN
translation is short-circuited due to the requested GFN not being
visible to L2.
Leaving @writable ('map_writable' in the callers) uninitialized is ok
in that it's never actually consumed, but one has to track it all the
way through set_spte() being short-circuited by set_mmio_spte() to
understand that the uninitialized variable is benign, and relying on
@writable being ignored is an unnecessary risk. Explicitly setting
@writable also aligns try_async_pf() with __gfn_to_pfn_memslot().

Reset the per-vCPU available and dirty register masks when switching
between vmcs01 and vmcs02, as the masks track state relative to the
current VMCS. The stale masks don't cause problems in the current code
base because the registers are either unconditionally written on nested
transitions or, in the case of segment registers, have an additional
tracker that is manually reset.
Note, by dropping (previously implicitly, now explicitly) the dirty mask
when switching the active VMCS, KVM is technically losing writes to the
associated fields. But, the only regs that can be dirtied (RIP, RSP and
PDPTRs) are unconditionally written on nested transitions, e.g. explicit
writeback is a waste of cycles, and a WARN_ON would be rather pointless.

Use "vm_exit_reason" for code related to injecting a nested VM-Exit to
VM-Exits to make it clear that nested_vmx_vmexit() expects the full exit
eason, not just the basic exit reason. The basic exit reason (bits 15:0
of vmcs.VM_EXIT_REASON) is colloquially referred to as simply "exit
reason".
Note, other flows, e.g. vmx_handle_exit(), are intentionally left as is.
A future patch will convert vmx->exit_reason to a union + bit-field, and
the exempted flows will interact with the unionized of "exit_reason".

Grab the exit reason from the vcpu struct in nested_vmx_reflect_vmexit()
instead of having the exit reason explicitly passed from the caller.
This fixes a discrepancy between VM-Fail and VM-Exit handling, as the
VM-Fail case is already handled by checking vcpu_vmx, e.g. the exit
reason previously passed on the stack is bogus if vmx->fail is set.
Not taking the exit reason on the stack also avoids having to document
that nested_vmx_reflect_vmexit() requires the full exit reason, as
opposed to just the basic exit reason, which is not at all obvious since
the only usages of the full exit reason are for tracing and way down in
prepare_vmcs12() where it's propagated to vmcs12.
No functional change intended.

Split the logic that determines whether a nested VM-Exit is reflected
into L1 into "L0 wants" and "L1 wants" to document the core control flow
at a high level. If L0 wants the VM-Exit, e.g. because the exit is due
to a hardware event that isn't passed through to L1, then KVM should
handle the exit in L0 without considering L1's configuration. Then, if
L0 doesn't want the exit, KVM needs to query L1's wants to determine
whether or not L1 "caused" the exit, e.g. by setting an exiting control,
versus the exit occurring due to an L0 setting, e.g. when L0 intercepts
an action that L1 chose to pass-through.
Note, this adds an extra read on vmcs.VM_EXIT_INTR_INFO for exception.
This will be addressed in a future patch via a VMX-wide enhancement,
rather than pile on another case where vmx->exit_intr_info is
conditionally available.

Use do_machine_check instead of INT $12 to pass MCE to the host,
the same approach VMX uses.
On a related note, there is no reason to limit the use of do_machine_check
to 64 bit targets, as is currently done for VMX. MCE handling works
for both target families.
The patch is only compile tested, for both, 64 and 32 bit targets,
someone should test the passing of the exception by injecting
some MCEs into the guest.
For future non-RFC patch, kvm_machine_check should be moved to some
appropriate header file.

Skip the MMU sync when reusing a cached root if EPT is enabled or L1
enabled VPID for L2.
If EPT is enabled, guest-physical mappings aren't flushed even if VPID
is disabled, i.e. L1 can't expect stale TLB entries to be flushed if it
has enabled EPT and L0 isn't shadowing PTEs (for L1 or L2) if L1 has
EPT disabled.
If VPID is enabled (and EPT is disabled), then L1 can't expect stale TLB
entries to be flushed (for itself or L2).

Add a module param, flush_on_reuse, to override skip_tlb_flush and
skip_mmu_sync when performing a so called "fast cr3 switch", i.e. when
reusing a cached root. The primary motiviation for the control is to
provide a fallback mechanism in the event that TLB flushing and/or MMU
sync bugs are exposed/introduced by upcoming changes to stop
unconditionally flushing on nested VMX transitions.

Add a separate "skip" override for MMU sync, a future change to avoid
TLB flushes on nested VMX transitions may need to sync the MMU even if
the TLB flush is unnecessary.

Handle the side effects of a fast CR3 (PGD) switch up a level in
__kvm_mmu_new_cr3(), which is the only caller of fast_cr3_switch().
This consolidates handling all side effects in __kvm_mmu_new_cr3()
(where freeing the current root when KVM can't do a fast switch is
already handled), and ameliorates the pain of adding a second boolean in
a future patch to provide a separate "skip" override for the MMU sync.

Don't reload the APIC access page if its control is disabled, e.g. if
the guest is running with x2APIC (likely) or with the local APIC
disabled (unlikely), to avoid unnecessary TLB flushes and VMWRITEs.
Unconditionally reload the APIC access page and flush the TLB when
the guest's virtual APIC transitions to "xAPIC enabled", as any
changes to the APIC access page's mapping will not be recorded while
the guest's virtual APIC is disabled.

Move the retrieval of the HPA associated with L1's APIC access page into
VMX code to avoid unnecessarily calling gfn_to_page(), e.g. when the
vCPU is in guest mode (L2). Alternatively, the optimization logic in
VMX could be mirrored into the common x86 code, but that will get ugly
fast when further optimizations are introduced.

Defer reloading L1's APIC page by logging the need for a reload and
processing it during nested VM-Exit instead of unconditionally reloading
the APIC page on nested VM-Exit. This eliminates a TLB flush on the
majority of VM-Exits as the APIC page rarely needs to be reloaded.

Flush only the current context, as opposed to all contexts, when
requesting a TLB flush to handle the scenario where a L1 does not expect
a TLB flush, but one is required because L1 and L2 shared an ASID. This
occurs if EPT is disabled (no per-EPTP tag), VPID is enabled (hardware
doesn't flush unconditionally) and vmcs02 does not have its own VPID due
to exhaustion of available VPIDs.

Flush only the current ASID/context when requesting a TLB flush due to a
change in the current vCPU's MMU to avoid blasting away TLB entries
associated with other ASIDs/contexts, e.g. entries cached for L1 when
a change in L2's MMU requires a flush.

Add KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH_CURRENT to allow optimized TLB flushing of VMX's
EPTP/VPID contexts[*] from the KVM MMU and/or in a deferred manner, e.g.
to flush L2's context during nested VM-Enter.
Convert KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH to KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH_CURRENT in flows where
the flush is directly associated with vCPU-scoped instruction emulation,
i.e. MOV CR3 and INVPCID.
Add a comment in vmx_vcpu_load_vmcs() above its KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH to
make it clear that it deliberately requests a flush of all contexts.
Service any pending flush request on nested VM-Exit as it's possible a
nested VM-Exit could occur after requesting a flush for L2. Add the
same logic for nested VM-Enter even though it's _extremely_ unlikely
for flush to be pending on nested VM-Enter, but theoretically possible
(in the future) due to RSM (SMM) emulation.
[*] Intel also has an Address Space Identifier (ASID) concept, e.g.
EPTP+VPID+PCID == ASID, it's just not documented in the SDM because
the rules of invalidation are different based on which piece of the
ASID is being changed, i.e. whether the EPTP, VPID, or PCID context
must be invalidated.
