Commit 2adb5ad9fe removed ByteOp from MOVZX/MOVSX, replacing them by
SrcMem8, but neglected to fix the dependency in the emulation code
on ByteOp. This caused the instruction not to have any effect in
some circumstances.
Fix by replacing the check for ByteOp with the equivalent src.op_bytes == 1.

Checking EFLAGS.IF is incorrect as we might be in interrupt shadow. If
that is the case, the main loop will notice that and not inject the interrupt,

instead.

Instead of getting an exact leaf, follow the spec and fall back to the last
main leaf instead. This lets us easily emulate the cpuid instruction in the
emulator.
Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
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.

In protected mode, the CPL is defined as the lower two bits of CS, as set by
the last far jump. But during the transition to protected mode, there is no
last far jump, so we need to return zero (the inherited real mode CPL).
Fix by reading CPL from the cache during the transition. This isn't 100%
correct since we don't set the CPL cache on a far jump, but since protected
mode transition will always jump to a segment with RPL=0, it will always
work.

Currently the MMU's ->new_cr3() callback does nothing when guest paging
is disabled or when two-dimentional paging (e.g. EPT on Intel) is active.
This means that an emulated write to cr3 can be lost; kvm_set_cr3() will
write vcpu-arch.cr3, but the GUEST_CR3 field in the VMCS will retain its
old value and this is what the guest sees.
This bug did not have any effect until now because:
- with unrestricted guest, or with svm, we never emulate a mov cr3 instruction
- without unrestricted guest, and with paging enabled, we also never emulate a
mov cr3 instruction
- without unrestricted guest, but with paging disabled, the guest's cr3 is
ignored until the guest enables paging; at this point the value from arch.cr3
is loaded correctly my the mov cr0 instruction which turns on paging
However, the patchset that enables big real mode causes us to emulate mov cr3
instructions in protected mode sometimes (when guest state is not virtualizable
by vmx); this mov cr3 is effectively ignored and will crash the guest.
The fix is to make nonpaging_new_cr3() call mmu_free_roots() to force a cr3
reload. This is awkward because now all the new_cr3 callbacks to the same
thing, and because mmu_free_roots() is somewhat of an overkill; but fixing
that is more complicated and will be done after this minimal fix.
Observed in the Window XP 32-bit installer while bringing up secondary vcpus.

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'.

We perform ISR lookups twice: during interrupt
injection and on EOI. Typical workloads only have
a single bit set there. So we can avoid ISR scans by
1. counting bits as we set/clear them in ISR
2. on set, caching the injected vector number
3. on clear, invalidating the cache
The real purpose of this is enabling PV EOI
which needs to quickly validate the vector.
But non PV guests also benefit: with this patch,
and without interrupt nesting, apic_find_highest_isr
will always return immediately without scanning ISR.

I see this in 3.5-rc1:
arch/x86/kvm/mmu.c: In function ‘kvm_test_age_rmapp’:
arch/x86/kvm/mmu.c:1271: warning: ‘iter.desc’ may be used uninitialized in this function
The line in question was introduced by commit
1e3f42f03c
static int kvm_test_age_rmapp(struct kvm *kvm, unsigned long *rmapp,
unsigned long data)
{
- u64 *spte;
+ u64 *sptep;
+ struct rmap_iterator iter; <- line 1271
int young = 0;
/*
The reason I think is that the compiler assumes that
the rmap value could be 0, so
static u64 *rmap_get_first(unsigned long rmap, struct rmap_iterator
*iter)
{
if (!rmap)
return NULL;
if (!(rmap & 1)) {
iter->desc = NULL;
return (u64 *)rmap;
}
iter->desc = (struct pte_list_desc *)(rmap & ~1ul);
iter->pos = 0;
return iter->desc->sptes[iter->pos];
}
will not initialize iter.desc, but the compiler isn't
smart enough to see that
for (sptep = rmap_get_first(*rmapp, &iter); sptep;
sptep = rmap_get_next(&iter)) {
will immediately exit in this case.
I checked by adding
if (!*rmapp)
goto out;
on top which is clearly equivalent but disables the warning.
This patch uses uninitialized_var to disable the warning without
increasing code size.
