VMX hardware can cache the contents of a vcpu's vmcs. This cache needs
to be flushed when migrating a vcpu to another cpu, or (which is the case
that interests us here) when disabling hardware virtualization on a cpu.
The current implementation of decaching iterates over the list of all vcpus,
picks the ones that are potentially cached on the cpu that is being offlined,
and flushes the cache. The problem is that it uses mutex_trylock() to gain
exclusive access to the vcpu, which fires off a (benign) warning about using
the mutex in an interrupt context.
To avoid this, and to make things generally nicer, add a new per-cpu list
of potentially cached vcus. This makes the decaching code much simpler. The
list is vmx-specific since other hardware doesn't have this issue.

KVM turns off hardware virtualization extensions during reboot, in order
to disassociate the memory used by the virtualization extensions from the
processor, and in order to have the system in a consistent state.
Unfortunately virtual machines may still be running while this goes on,
and once virtualization extensions are turned off, any virtulization
instruction will #UD on execution.
Fix by adding an exception handler to virtualization instructions; if we get
an exception during reboot, we simply spin waiting for the reset to complete.
If it's a true exception, BUG() so we can have our stack trace.

The KVM MMU tries to detect when a speculative pte update is not actually
used by demand fault, by checking the accessed bit of the shadow pte. If
the shadow pte has not been accessed, we deem that page table flooded and
remove the shadow page table, allowing further pte updates to proceed
without emulation.
However, if the pte itself points at a page table and only used for write
operations, the accessed bit will never be set since all access will happen
through the emulator.
This is exactly what happens with kscand on old (2.4.x) HIGHMEM kernels.
The kernel points a kmap_atomic() pte at a page table, and then
proceeds with read-modify-write operations to look at the dirty and accessed
bits. We get a false flood trigger on the kmap ptes, which results in the
mmu spending all its time setting up and tearing down shadows.
Fix by setting the shadow accessed bit on emulated accesses.

Attached is a patch that fixes a guest crash when booting older Linux kernels.
The problem stems from the fact that we are currently emulating
MSR_K7_EVNTSEL[0-3], but not emulating MSR_K7_PERFCTR[0-3]. Because of this,
setup_k7_watchdog() in the Linux kernel receives a GPF when it attempts to
write into MSR_K7_PERFCTR, which causes an OOPs.
The patch fixes it by just "fake" emulating the appropriate MSRs, throwing
away the data in the process. This causes the NMI watchdog to not actually
work, but it's not such a big deal in a virtualized environment.
When we get a write to one of these counters, we printk_ratelimit() a warning.
I decided to print it out for all writes, even if the data is 0; it doesn't
seem to make sense to me to special case when data == 0.

KVM has a heuristic to unshadow guest pagetables when userspace accesses
them, on the assumption that most guests do not allow userspace to access
pagetables directly. Unfortunately, in addition to unshadowing the pagetables,
it also oopses.
This never triggers on ordinary guests since sane OSes will clear the
pagetables before assigning them to userspace, which will trigger the flood
heuristic, unshadowing the pagetables before the first userspace access. One
particular guest, though (Xenner) will run the kernel in userspace, triggering
the oops. Since the heuristic is incorrect in this case, we can simply
remove it.

The hypercall instructions on Intel and AMD are different. KVM allows the
guest to choose one or the other (the default is Intel), and if the guest
chooses incorrectly, KVM will patch it at runtime to select the correct
instruction. This allows live migration between Intel and AMD machines.
This patching occurs in the x86 emulator. The current code also executes
the hypercall. Unfortunately, the tail end of the x86 emulator code also
executes, overwriting the return value of the hypercall with the original
contents of rax (which happens to be the hypercall number).
Fix not by executing the hypercall in the emulator context; instead let the
guest reissue the patched instruction and execute the hypercall via the
normal path.

This patch introduces a gfn_to_pfn() function and corresponding functions like
kvm_release_pfn_dirty(). Using these new functions, we can modify the x86
MMU to no longer assume that it can always get a struct page for any given gfn.
We don't want to eliminate gfn_to_page() entirely because a number of places
assume they can do gfn_to_page() and then kmap() the results. When we support
IO memory, gfn_to_page() will fail for IO pages although gfn_to_pfn() will
succeed.
This does not implement support for avoiding reference counting for reserved
RAM or for IO memory. However, it should make those things pretty straight
forward.
Since we're only introducing new common symbols, I don't think it will break
the non-x86 architectures but I haven't tested those. I've tested Intel,
AMD, NPT, and hugetlbfs with Windows and Linux guests.

shadow cached such pte as "notrap". Accesses to such address will fault

In the current inject_page_fault path KVM only checks if there is another PF
pending and injects a DF then. But it has to check for a pending DF too to
detect a shutdown condition in the VCPU. If this is not detected the VCPU goes
to a PF -> DF -> PF loop when it should triple fault. This patch detects this
condition and handles it with an KVM_SHUTDOWN exit to userspace.

The vmx hardware state restore restores the tss selector and base address, but
not its length. Usually, this does not matter since most of the tss contents
is within the default length of 0x67. However, if a process is using ioperm()
to grant itself I/O port permissions, an additional bitmap within the tss,
but outside the default length is consulted. The effect is that the process
will receive a SIGSEGV instead of transparently accessing the port.
Fix by restoring the tss length. Note that i386 had this working already.

KVM tries to run as much as possible with the guest msrs loaded instead of
host msrs, since switching msrs is very expensive. It also tries to minimize
the number of msrs switched according to the guest mode; for example,
MSR_LSTAR is needed only by long mode guests. This optimization is done by
setup_msrs().
However, we must not change which msrs are switched while we are running with
guest msr state:
- switch to guest msr state
- call setup_msrs(), removing some msrs from the list
- switch to host msr state, leaving a few guest msrs loaded
An easy way to trigger this is to kexec an x86_64 linux guest. Early during
setup, the guest will switch EFER to not include SCE. KVM will stop saving
MSR_LSTAR, and on the next msr switch it will leave the guest LSTAR loaded.
The next host syscall will end up in a random location in the kernel.
Fix by reloading the host msrs before changing the msr list.

For improved concurrency, the guest walk is performed concurrently with other
vcpus. This means that we need to revalidate the guest ptes once we have
write-protected the guest page tables, at which point they can no longer be
modified.
The current code attempts to avoid this check if the shadow page table is not
new, on the assumption that if it has existed before, the guest could not have
modified the pte without the shadow lock. However the assumption is incorrect,
as the racing vcpu could have modified the pte, then instantiated the shadow
page, before our vcpu regains control:
vcpu0 vcpu1
fault
walk pte
modify pte
fault in same pagetable
instantiate shadow page
lookup shadow page
conclude it is old
instantiate spte based on stale guest pte
We could do something clever with generation counters, but a test run by
Marcelo suggests this is unnecessary and we can just do the revalidation
unconditionally. The pte will be in the processor cache and the check can
be quite fast.

When executing a test program called "crashme", we found the KVM guest cannot
survive more than ten seconds, then encounterd kernel panic. The basic concept
of "crashme" is generating random assembly code and trying to execute it.
After some fixes on emulator insn validity judgment, we found it's hard to
get the current emulator handle the invalid instructions correctly, for the
#UD trap for hypercall patching caused troubles. The problem is, if the opcode
itself was OK, but combination of opcode and modrm_reg was invalid, and one
operand of the opcode was memory (SrcMem or DstMem), the emulator will fetch
the memory operand first rather than checking the validity, and may encounter
an error there. For example, ".byte 0xfe, 0x34, 0xcd" has this problem.
In the patch, we simply check that if the invalid opcode wasn't vmcall/vmmcall,
then return from emulate_instruction() and inject a #UD to guest. With the
patch, the guest had been running for more than 12 hours.
