Call cond_resched_lock() when zapping MMIO to reschedule if needed or to
release and reacquire mmu_lock in case of contention. There is no need
to flush or zap when temporarily dropping mmu_lock as zapping MMIO sptes
is done when holding the memslots lock and with the "update in-progress"
bit set in the memslots generation, which disables MMIO spte caching.
The walk does need to be restarted if mmu_lock is dropped as the active

...now that KVM won't explode by moving it out of bit 0. Using bit 63

The code to propagate the memslots generation number into MMIO sptes is
a bit convoluted. The "what" is relatively straightfoward, e.g. the
comment explaining which bits go where is quite readable, but the "how"
requires a lot of staring to understand what is happening. For example,
'MMIO_GEN_LOW_SHIFT' is actually used to calculate the high bits of the
spte, while 'MMIO_SPTE_GEN_LOW_SHIFT' is used to calculate the low bits.
Refactor the code to:
- use #defines whose values align with the bits defined in the comment
- use consistent code for both the high and low mask
- explicitly highlight the handling of bit 0 (update in-progress flag)
- explicitly call out that the defines are for MMIO sptes (to avoid
confusion with the per-vCPU MMIO cache, which uses the full memslots
generation)
In addition to making the code a little less magical, this paves the way
for moving the update in-progress flag to bit 63 without having to
simultaneously rewrite all of the MMIO spte code.

KVM currently uses an 'unsigned int' for the MMIO generation number
despite it being derived from the 64-bit memslots generation and
being propagated to (potentially) 64-bit sptes. There is no hidden
agenda behind using an 'unsigned int', it's done simply because the
MMIO generation will never set bits above bit 19.
Passing a u64 will allow the "update in-progress" flag to be relocated
from bit 0 to bit 63 and removes the need to cast the generation back
to a u64 when propagating it to a spte.

KVM uses bit 0 of the memslots generation as an "update in-progress"
flag, which is used by x86 to prevent caching MMIO access while the
memslots are changing. Although the intended behavior is flag-like,
e.g. MMIO sptes intentionally drop the in-progress bit so as to avoid
caching data from in-flux memslots, the implementation oftentimes treats
the bit as part of the generation number itself, e.g. incrementing the
generation increments twice, once to set the flag and once to clear it.
Prior to commit 4bd518f159 ("KVM: use separate generations for
each address space"), incorporating the "update in-progress" bit into
the generation number largely made sense, e.g. "real" generations are
even, "bogus" generations are odd, most code doesn't need to be aware of
the bit, etc...
Now that unique memslots generation numbers are assigned to each address
space, stealthing the in-progress status into the generation number
results in a wide variety of subtle code, e.g. kvm_create_vm() jumps
over bit 0 when initializing the memslots generation without any hint as
to why.
Explicitly define the flag and convert as much code as possible (which
isn't much) to actually treat it like a flag. This paves the way for
eventually using a different bit for "update in-progress" so that it can
be a flag in truth instead of a awkward extension to the generation
number.

When installing new memslots, KVM sets bit 0 of the generation number to
indicate that an update is in-progress. Until the update is complete,
there are no guarantees as to whether a vCPU will see the old or the new
memslots. Explicity prevent caching MMIO accesses so as to avoid using
an access cached from the old memslots after the new memslots have been
installed.
Note that it is unclear whether or not disabling caching during the
update window is strictly necessary as there is no definitive
documentation as to what ordering guarantees KVM provides with respect
to updating memslots. That being said, the MMIO spte code does not
allow reusing sptes created while an update is in-progress, and the
associated documentation explicitly states:
We do not want to use an MMIO sptes created with an odd generation
number, ... If KVM is unlucky and creates an MMIO spte while the
low bit is 1, the next access to the spte will always be a cache miss.
At the very least, disabling the per-vCPU MMIO cache during updates will
make its behavior consistent with the MMIO spte behavior and
documentation.

The check to detect a wrap of the MMIO generation explicitly looks for a
generation number of zero. Now that unique memslots generation numbers
are assigned to each address space, only address space 0 will get a
generation number of exactly zero when wrapping. E.g. when address
space 1 goes from 0x7fffe to 0x80002, the MMIO generation number will
wrap to 0x2. Adjust the MMIO generation to strip the address space
modifier prior to checking for a wrap.

kvm_arch_memslots_updated() is at this point in time an x86-specific
hook for handling MMIO generation wraparound. x86 stashes 19 bits of
the memslots generation number in its MMIO sptes in order to avoid
full page fault walks for repeat faults on emulated MMIO addresses.
Because only 19 bits are used, wrapping the MMIO generation number is
possible, if unlikely. kvm_arch_memslots_updated() alerts x86 that
the generation has changed so that it can invalidate all MMIO sptes in
case the effective MMIO generation has wrapped so as to avoid using a
stale spte, e.g. a (very) old spte that was created with generation==0.
Given that the purpose of kvm_arch_memslots_updated() is to prevent
consuming stale entries, it needs to be called before the new generation
is propagated to memslots. Invalidating the MMIO sptes after updating
memslots means that there is a window where a vCPU could dereference
the new memslots generation, e.g. 0, and incorrectly reuse an old MMIO
spte that was created with (pre-wrap) generation==0.

AMD's SME/SEV is no longer the only case which reduces supported
physical address bits, since Intel introduced Multi-key Total Memory
Encryption (MKTME), which repurposes high bits of physical address as
keyID, thus effectively shrinks supported physical address bits. To
cover both cases (and potential similar future features), kernel MM
introduced generic dynamaic physical address mask instead of hard-coded
__PHYSICAL_MASK in 'commit 94d49eb30e ("x86/mm: Decouple dynamic
__PHYSICAL_MASK from AMD SME")'. KVM should use that too.

Regarding segments with a limit==0xffffffff, the SDM officially states:
When the effective limit is FFFFFFFFH (4 GBytes), these accesses may
or may not cause the indicated exceptions. Behavior is
implementation-specific and may vary from one execution to another.
In practice, all CPUs that support VMX ignore limit checks for "flat
segments", i.e. an expand-up data or code segment with base=0 and
limit=0xffffffff. This is subtly different than wrapping the effective
address calculation based on the address size, as the flat segment
behavior also applies to accesses that would wrap the 4g boundary, e.g.
a 4-byte access starting at 0xffffffff will access linear addresses
0xffffffff, 0x0, 0x1 and 0x2.

The address size of an instruction affects the effective address, not

The VMCS.EXIT_QUALIFCATION field reports the displacements of memory
operands for various instructions, including VMX instructions, as a
naturally sized unsigned value, but masks the value by the addr size,
e.g. given a ModRM encoded as -0x28(%ebp), the -0x28 displacement is
reported as 0xffffffd8 for a 32-bit address size. Despite some weird
wording regarding sign extension, the SDM explicitly states that bits
beyond the instructions address size are undefined:
In all cases, bits of this field beyond the instruction’s address
size are undefined.
Failure to sign extend the displacement results in KVM incorrectly
treating a negative displacement as a large positive displacement when
the address size of the VMX instruction is smaller than KVM's native
size, e.g. a 32-bit address size on a 64-bit KVM.
The very original decoding, added by commit 064aea7747 ("KVM: nVMX:
Decoding memory operands of VMX instructions"), sort of modeled sign
extension by truncating the final virtual/linear address for a 32-bit
address size. I.e. it messed up the effective address but made it work
by adjusting the final address.
When segmentation checks were added, the truncation logic was kept
as-is and no sign extension logic was introduced. In other words, it
kept calculating the wrong effective address while mostly generating
the correct virtual/linear address. As the effective address is what's
used in the segment limit checks, this results in KVM incorreclty
injecting #GP/#SS faults due to non-existent segment violations when
a nested VMM uses negative displacements with an address size smaller
than KVM's native address size.
Using the -0x28(%ebp) example, an EBP value of 0x1000 will result in
KVM using 0x100000fd8 as the effective address when checking for a
segment limit violation. This causes a 100% failure rate when running
a 32-bit KVM build as L1 on top of a 64-bit KVM L0.

Current SVM AVIC driver makes two incorrect assumptions:
1. APIC LDR register cannot be zero
2. APIC DFR for all vCPUs must be the same

Therefore, the driver should mark any previously assigned logical APIC ID
table entry as invalid, and return success. Also, DFR is specific to
a particular local APIC, and can be different among all vCPUs
(as observed on Windows 10).
These incorrect assumptions cause Windows 10 and FreeBSD VMs to fail

bother keying off CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER or using FRAME_BEGIN, etc...

...to prepare for moving the inline asm to a proper asm sub-routine.
Eliminating the immediates allows a nearly verbatim move, e.g. quotes,
newlines, tabs and __stringify need to be dropped, but other than those
cosmetic changes the only function change will be to replace the final
"jmp" with a "ret".

...now that all other references to struct vcpu_vmx have been removed.
Note that 'vmx' still needs to be passed into the asm blob in _ASM_ARG1
as it is consumed by vmx_update_host_rsp(). And similar to that code,
use _ASM_ARG2 in the assembly code to prepare for moving to proper asm,
while explicitly referencing the exact registers in the clobber list for
clarity in the short term and to avoid additional precompiler games.

A failed VM-Enter (obviously) didn't succeed, meaning the CPU never
executed an instrunction in guest mode and so can't have changed the
general purpose registers.
In addition to saving some instructions in the VM-Fail case, this also
provides a separate path entirely and thus an opportunity to propagate
the fail condition to vmx->fail via register without introducing undue
pain. Using a register, as opposed to directly referencing vmx->fail,
eliminates the need to pass the offset of 'fail', which will simplify
moving the code to proper assembly in future patches.

Switching the ordering allows for an out-of-line path for VM-Fail
that elides saving guest state but still shares the register clearing
with the VM-Exit path.

...and remove struct vcpu_vmx's temporary __launched variable.
Eliminating __launched is a bonus, the real motivation is to get to the
point where the only reference to struct vcpu_vmx in the asm code is
to vcpu.arch.regs, which will simplify moving the blob to a proper asm
file. Note that also means this approach is deliberately different than
what is used in nested_vmx_check_vmentry_hw().
Use BL as it is a callee-save register in both 32-bit and 64-bit ABIs,
i.e. it can't be modified by vmx_update_host_rsp(), to avoid having to
temporarily save/restore the launched flag.

Providing a helper function to update HOST_RSP is visibly easier to
read, and more importantly (for the future) eliminates two arguments to
the VM-Enter assembly blob. Reducing the number of arguments to the asm
blob is for all intents and purposes a prerequisite to moving the code
to a proper assembly routine. It's not truly mandatory, but it greatly
simplifies the future code, and the cost of the extra CALL+RET is
negligible in the grand scheme.
Note that although _ASM_ARG[1-3] can be used in the inline asm itself,
the intput/output constraints need to be manually defined. gcc will
actually compile with _ASM_ARG[1-3] specified as constraints, but what
it actually ends up doing with the bogus constraint is unknown.

...to eliminate its parameter and struct vcpu_vmx offset definition
from the assembly blob. Accessing CR2 from C versus assembly doesn't
change the likelihood of taking a page fault (and modifying CR2) while
it's loaded with the guest's value, so long as we don't do anything
silly between accessing CR2 and VM-Enter/VM-Exit.

Currently, host_rsp is cached on a per-vCPU basis, i.e. it's stored in
struct vcpu_vmx. In non-nested usage the caching is for all intents
and purposes 100% effective, e.g. only the first VMLAUNCH needs to
synchronize VMCS.HOST_RSP since the call stack to vmx_vcpu_run() is
identical each and every time. But when running a nested guest, KVM
must invalidate the cache when switching the current VMCS as it can't
guarantee the new VMCS has the same HOST_RSP as the previous VMCS. In
other words, the cache loses almost all of its efficacy when running a
nested VM.
Move host_rsp to struct vmcs_host_state, which is per-VMCS, so that it
is cached on a per-VMCS basis and restores its 100% hit rate when
nested VMs are in play.
Note that the host_rsp cache for vmcs02 essentially "breaks" when
nested early checks are enabled as nested_vmx_check_vmentry_hw() will
see a different RSP at the time of its VM-Enter. While it's possible
to avoid even that VMCS.HOST_RSP synchronization, e.g. by employing a
dedicated VM-Exit stack, there is little motivation for doing so as
the overhead of two VMWRITEs (~55 cycles) is dwarfed by the overhead
of the extra VMX transition (600+ cycles) and is a proverbial drop in
the ocean relative to the total cost of a nested transtion (10s of
thousands of cycles).
