35920a3569 KVM: VMX: Fix pending exception processing
The vmx code assumes that IDT-Vectoring can only be set when an exception
is injected due to the exception in question.  That's not true, however:
if the exception is injected correctly, and later another exception occurs
but its delivery is blocked due to a fault, then we will incorrectly assume
the first exception was not delivered.

Fix by unconditionally dequeuing the pending exception, and requeuing it
(or the second exception) if we see it in the IDT-Vectoring field.

668f612fa0 KVM: VMX: Move nmi injection failure processing to vm exit path
Instead of processing nmi injection failure in the vm entry path, move
it to the vm exit path (vm_complete_interrupts()).  This separates nmi
injection from nmi post-processing, and moves the nmi state from the VT
state into vcpu state (new variable nmi_injected specifying an injection
in progress).

cddb8a5c14 mmu-notifiers: core
With KVM/GFP/XPMEM there isn't just the primary CPU MMU pointing to pages.
 There are secondary MMUs (with secondary sptes and secondary tlbs) too.
sptes in the kvm case are shadow pagetables, but when I say spte in
mmu-notifier context, I mean "secondary pte".  In GRU case there's no
actual secondary pte and there's only a secondary tlb because the GRU
secondary MMU has no knowledge about sptes and every secondary tlb miss
event in the MMU always generates a page fault that has to be resolved by
the CPU (this is not the case of KVM where the a secondary tlb miss will
walk sptes in hardware and it will refill the secondary tlb transparently
to software if the corresponding spte is present).  The same way
zap_page_range has to invalidate the pte before freeing the page, the spte
(and secondary tlb) must also be invalidated before any page is freed and
reused.

Currently we take a page_count pin on every page mapped by sptes, but that
means the pages can't be swapped whenever they're mapped by any spte
because they're part of the guest working set.  Furthermore a spte unmap
event can immediately lead to a page to be freed when the pin is released
(so requiring the same complex and relatively slow tlb_gather smp safe
logic we have in zap_page_range and that can be avoided completely if the
spte unmap event doesn't require an unpin of the page previously mapped in
the secondary MMU).

The mmu notifiers allow kvm/GRU/XPMEM to attach to the tsk->mm and know
when the VM is swapping or freeing or doing anything on the primary MMU so
that the secondary MMU code can drop sptes before the pages are freed,
avoiding all page pinning and allowing 100% reliable swapping of guest
physical address space.  Furthermore it avoids the code that teardown the
mappings of the secondary MMU, to implement a logic like tlb_gather in
zap_page_range that would require many IPI to flush other cpu tlbs, for
each fixed number of spte unmapped.

To make an example: if what happens on the primary MMU is a protection
downgrade (from writeable to wrprotect) the secondary MMU mappings will be
invalidated, and the next secondary-mmu-page-fault will call
get_user_pages and trigger a do_wp_page through get_user_pages if it
called get_user_pages with write=1, and it'll re-establishing an updated
spte or secondary-tlb-mapping on the copied page.  Or it will setup a
readonly spte or readonly tlb mapping if it's a guest-read, if it calls
get_user_pages with write=0.  This is just an example.

This allows to map any page pointed by any pte (and in turn visible in the
primary CPU MMU), into a secondary MMU (be it a pure tlb like GRU, or an
full MMU with both sptes and secondary-tlb like the shadow-pagetable layer
with kvm), or a remote DMA in software like XPMEM (hence needing of
schedule in XPMEM code to send the invalidate to the remote node, while no
need to schedule in kvm/gru as it's an immediate event like invalidating
primary-mmu pte).

At least for KVM without this patch it's impossible to swap guests
reliably.  And having this feature and removing the page pin allows
several other optimizations that simplify life considerably.

Dependencies:

1) mm_take_all_locks() to register the mmu notifier when the whole VM
   isn't doing anything with "mm".  This allows mmu notifier users to keep
   track if the VM is in the middle of the invalidate_range_begin/end
   critical section with an atomic counter incraese in range_begin and
   decreased in range_end.  No secondary MMU page fault is allowed to map
   any spte or secondary tlb reference, while the VM is in the middle of
   range_begin/end as any page returned by get_user_pages in that critical
   section could later immediately be freed without any further
   ->invalidate_page notification (invalidate_range_begin/end works on
   ranges and ->invalidate_page isn't called immediately before freeing
   the page).  To stop all page freeing and pagetable overwrites the
   mmap_sem must be taken in write mode and all other anon_vma/i_mmap
   locks must be taken too.

2) It'd be a waste to add branches in the VM if nobody could possibly
   run KVM/GRU/XPMEM on the kernel, so mmu notifiers will only enabled if
   CONFIG_KVM=m/y.  In the current kernel kvm won't yet take advantage of
   mmu notifiers, but this already allows to compile a KVM external module
   against a kernel with mmu notifiers enabled and from the next pull from
   kvm.git we'll start using them.  And GRU/XPMEM will also be able to
   continue the development by enabling KVM=m in their config, until they
   submit all GRU/XPMEM GPLv2 code to the mainline kernel.  Then they can
   also enable MMU_NOTIFIERS in the same way KVM does it (even if KVM=n).
   This guarantees nobody selects MMU_NOTIFIER=y if KVM and GRU and XPMEM
   are all =n.

The mmu_notifier_register call can fail because mm_take_all_locks may be
interrupted by a signal and return -EINTR.  Because mmu_notifier_reigster
is used when a driver startup, a failure can be gracefully handled.  Here
an example of the change applied to kvm to register the mmu notifiers.
Usually when a driver startups other allocations are required anyway and
-ENOMEM failure paths exists already.

 struct  kvm *kvm_arch_create_vm(void)
 {
        struct kvm *kvm = kzalloc(sizeof(struct kvm), GFP_KERNEL);
+       int err;

        if (!kvm)
                return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);

        INIT_LIST_HEAD(&kvm->arch.active_mmu_pages);

+       kvm->arch.mmu_notifier.ops = &kvm_mmu_notifier_ops;
+       err = mmu_notifier_register(&kvm->arch.mmu_notifier, current->mm);
+       if (err) {
+               kfree(kvm);
+               return ERR_PTR(err);
+       }
+
        return kvm;
 }

mmu_notifier_unregister returns void and it's reliable.

The patch also adds a few needed but missing includes that would prevent
kernel to compile after these changes on non-x86 archs (x86 didn't need
them by luck).

577bdc4966 KVM: Avoid instruction emulation when event delivery is pending
When an event (such as an interrupt) is injected, and the stack is
shadowed (and therefore write protected), the guest will exit.  The
current code will see that the stack is shadowed and emulate a few
instructions, each time postponing the injection.  Eventually the
injection may succeed, but at that time the guest may be unwilling
to accept the interrupt (for example, the TPR may have changed).

This occurs every once in a while during a Windows 2008 boot.

Fix by unshadowing the fault address if the fault was due to an event
injection.

543e424366 KVM: VMX: Add list of potentially locally cached vcpus
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.

4ecac3fd6d KVM: Handle virtualization instruction #UD faults during reboot
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.

1b7fcd3263 KVM: MMU: Fix false flooding when a pte points to page table
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.

14ae51b6c0 KVM: SVM: Fake MSR_K7 performance counters
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.

Tested by myself on a RHEL-4 guest, and Joerg Roedel on a Windows XP 64-bit
guest.

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.

e693d71b46 KVM: VMX: Clear CR4.VMXE in hardware_disable
Clear CR4.VMXE in hardware_disable. There's no reason to leave it set
after doing a VMXOFF.

VMware Workstation 6.5 checks CR4.VMXE as a proxy for whether the CPU is
in VMX mode, so leaving VMXE set means we'll refuse to power on. With this
change the user can power on after unloading the kvm-intel module. I
tested on kvm-67 and kvm-69.

2f5997140f KVM: migrate PIT timer
Migrate the PIT timer to the physical CPU which vcpu0 is scheduled on,
similarly to what is done for the LAPIC timers, otherwise PIT interrupts
will be delayed until an unrelated event causes an exit.

33e3885de2 KVM: x86 emulator: fix hypercall return value on AMD
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.
