The current guest mitigation of TAA is both too heavy and not really
sufficient. It is too heavy because it will cause some affected CPUs
(those that have MDS_NO but lack TAA_NO) to fall back to VERW and
get the corresponding slowdown. It is not really sufficient because
it will cause the MDS_NO bit to disappear upon microcode update, so
that VMs started before the microcode update will not be runnable
anymore afterwards, even with tsx=on.
Instead, if tsx=on on the host, we can emulate MSR_IA32_TSX_CTRL for
the guest and let it run without the VERW mitigation. Even though
MSR_IA32_TSX_CTRL is quite heavyweight, and we do not want to write
it on every vmentry, we can use the shared MSR functionality because
the host kernel need not protect itself from TSX-based side-channels.

Because KVM always emulates CPUID, the CPUID clear bit
(bit 1) of MSR_IA32_TSX_CTRL must be emulated "manually"
by the hypervisor when performing said emulation.
Right now neither kvm-intel.ko nor kvm-amd.ko implement
MSR_IA32_TSX_CTRL but this will change in the next patch.

"Shared MSRs" are guest MSRs that are written to the host MSRs but
keep their value until the next return to userspace. They support
a mask, so that some bits keep the host value, but this mask is
only used to skip an unnecessary MSR write and the value written
to the MSR is always the guest MSR.
Fix this and, while at it, do not update smsr->values[slot].curr if
for whatever reason the wrmsr fails. This should only happen due to
reserved bits, so the value written to smsr->values[slot].curr
will not match when the user-return notifier and the host value will
always be restored. However, it is untidy and in rare cases this
can actually avoid spurious WRMSRs on return to userspace.

KVM does not implement MSR_IA32_TSX_CTRL, so it must not be presented

!RTM && ARCH_CAP_TAA_NO: lack of MSR_IA32_TSX_CTRL suggests TSX was not
hidden (it actually was), yet the value says that TSX is not vulnerable

In IOAPIC fixed delivery mode instead of flushing the scan
requests to all vCPUs, we should only send the requests to
vCPUs specified within the destination field.
This patch introduces kvm_get_dest_vcpus_mask() API which
retrieves an array of target vCPUs by using
kvm_apic_map_get_dest_lapic() and then based on the
vcpus_idx, it sets the bit in a bitmap. However, if the above
fails kvm_get_dest_vcpus_mask() finds the target vCPUs by
traversing all available vCPUs. Followed by setting the
bits in the bitmap.
If we had different vCPUs in the previous request for the
same redirection table entry then bits corresponding to
these vCPUs are also set. This to done to keep
ioapic_handled_vectors synchronized.
This bitmap is then eventually passed on to
kvm_make_vcpus_request_mask() to generate a masked request
only for the target vCPUs.
This would enable us to reduce the latency overhead on isolated
vCPUs caused by the IPI to process due to KVM_REQ_IOAPIC_SCAN.

When KVM emulates a nested VMEntry (L1->L2 VMEntry), it switches mmu root
page. If nEPT is used, this will happen from
kvm_init_shadow_ept_mmu()->__kvm_mmu_new_cr3() and otherwise it will
happpen from nested_vmx_load_cr3()->kvm_mmu_new_cr3(). Either case,
__kvm_mmu_new_cr3() will use fast_cr3_switch() in attempt to switch to a
previously cached root page.
In case fast_cr3_switch() finds a matching cached root page, it will
set it in mmu->root_hpa and request KVM_REQ_LOAD_CR3 such that on
next entry to guest, KVM will set root HPA in appropriate hardware
fields (e.g. vmcs->eptp). In addition, fast_cr3_switch() calls
kvm_x86_ops->tlb_flush() in order to flush TLB as MMU root page
was replaced.
This works as mmu->root_hpa, which vmx_flush_tlb() use, was
already replaced in cached_root_available(). However, this may
result in unnecessary INVEPT execution because a KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH
may have already been requested. For example, by prepare_vmcs02()
in case L1 don't use VPID.
Therefore, change fast_cr3_switch() to just request TLB flush on
next entry to guest.

Currently, a host perf_event is created for a vPMC functionality emulation.
It’s unpredictable to determine if a disabled perf_event will be reused.
If they are disabled and are not reused for a considerable period of time,
those obsolete perf_events would increase host context switch overhead that
could have been avoided.
If the guest doesn't WRMSR any of the vPMC's MSRs during an entire vcpu
sched time slice, and its independent enable bit of the vPMC isn't set,
we can predict that the guest has finished the use of this vPMC, and then
do request KVM_REQ_PMU in kvm_arch_sched_in and release those perf_events
in the first call of kvm_pmu_handle_event() after the vcpu is scheduled in.
This lazy mechanism delays the event release time to the beginning of the
next scheduled time slice if vPMC's MSRs aren't changed during this time
slice. If guest comes back to use this vPMC in next time slice, a new perf
event would be re-created via perf_event_create_kernel_counter() as usual.

The perf_event_create_kernel_counter() in the pmc_reprogram_counter() is
a heavyweight and high-frequency operation, especially when host disables
the watchdog (maximum 21000000 ns) which leads to an unacceptable latency
of the guest NMI handler. It limits the use of vPMUs in the guest.
When a vPMC is fully enabled, the legacy reprogram_*_counter() would stop
and release its existing perf_event (if any) every time EVEN in most cases
almost the same requested perf_event will be created and configured again.
For each vPMC, if the reuqested config ('u64 eventsel' for gp and 'u8 ctrl'
for fixed) is the same as its current config AND a new sample period based
on pmc->counter is accepted by host perf interface, the current event could
be reused safely as a new created one does. Otherwise, do release the
undesirable perf_event and reprogram a new one as usual.
It's light-weight to call pmc_pause_counter (disable, read and reset event)
and pmc_resume_counter (recalibrate period and re-enable event) as guest
expects instead of release-and-create again on any condition. Compared to
use the filterable event->attr or hw.config, a new 'u64 current_config'
field is added to save the last original programed config for each vPMC.
Based on this implementation, the number of calls to pmc_reprogram_counter
is reduced by ~82.5% for a gp sampling event and ~99.9% for a fixed event.
In the usage of multiplexing perf sampling mode, the average latency of the
guest NMI handler is reduced from 104923 ns to 48393 ns (~2.16x speed up).
If host disables watchdog, the minimum latecy of guest NMI handler could be
speed up at ~3413x (from 20407603 to 5979 ns) and at ~786x in the average.

When L1 don't use TPR-Shadow to run L2, L0 configures vmcs02 without
TPR-Shadow and install intercepts on CR8 access (load and store).
If L1 do not intercept L2 CR8 access, L0 intercepts on those accesses
will emulate load/store on L1's LAPIC TPR. If in this case L2 lowers
TPR such that there is now an injectable interrupt to L1,
apic_update_ppr() will request a KVM_REQ_EVENT which will trigger a call
to update_cr8_intercept() to update TPR-Threshold to highest pending IRR
priority.
However, this update to TPR-Threshold is done while active vmcs is
vmcs02 instead of vmcs01. Thus, when later at some point L0 will
emulate an exit from L2 to L1, L1 will still run with high
TPR-Threshold. This will result in every VMEntry to L1 to immediately
exit on TPR_BELOW_THRESHOLD and continue to do so infinitely until
some condition will cause KVM_REQ_EVENT to be set.
(Note that TPR_BELOW_THRESHOLD exit handler do not set KVM_REQ_EVENT
until apic_update_ppr() will notice a new injectable interrupt for PPR)
To fix this issue, change update_cr8_intercept() such that if L2 lowers
L1's TPR in a way that requires to lower L1's TPR-Threshold, save update
to TPR-Threshold and apply it to vmcs01 when L0 emulates an exit from
L2 to L1.

Commit 4b9852f4f3 ("KVM: x86: Fix INIT signal handling in various CPU states")
fixed KVM to also latch pending LAPIC INIT event when vCPU is in VMX
operation.
However, current API of KVM_SET_MP_STATE allows userspace to put vCPU
into KVM_MP_STATE_SIPI_RECEIVED or KVM_MP_STATE_INIT_RECEIVED even when
vCPU is in VMX operation.
Fix this by introducing a util method to check if vCPU state latch INIT
signals and use it in KVM_SET_MP_STATE handler.

fixed KVM to also latch pending LAPIC INIT event when vCPU is in VMX

However, current API of KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS defines this field as
part of SMM state and only set pending LAPIC INIT event if vCPU is
specified to be in SMM mode (events->smi.smm is set).
Change KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS handler to set pending LAPIC INIT event
by latched_init field regardless of if vCPU is in SMM mode or not.

It's enough to check the exit value and issue a direct call to avoid
the retpoline for all the common vmexit reasons.
Of course CONFIG_RETPOLINE already forbids gcc to use indirect jumps
while compiling all switch() statements, however switch() would still
allow the compiler to bisect the case value. It's more efficient to
prioritize the most frequent vmexits instead.
The halt may be slow paths from the point of the guest, but not
necessarily so from the point of the host if the host runs at full CPU
capacity and no host CPU is ever left idle.

Acquire the per-VM slots_lock when zapping all shadow pages as part of
toggling nx_huge_pages. The fast zap algorithm relies on exclusivity
(via slots_lock) to identify obsolete vs. valid shadow pages, because it
uses a single bit for its generation number. Holding slots_lock also
obviates the need to acquire a read lock on the VM's srcu.
Failing to take slots_lock when toggling nx_huge_pages allows multiple
instances of kvm_mmu_zap_all_fast() to run concurrently, as the other
user, KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION, does not take the global kvm_lock.
(kvm_mmu_zap_all_fast() does take kvm->mmu_lock, but it can be
temporarily dropped by kvm_zap_obsolete_pages(), so it is not enough
to enforce exclusivity).
Concurrent fast zap instances causes obsolete shadow pages to be
incorrectly identified as valid due to the single bit generation number
wrapping, which results in stale shadow pages being left in KVM's MMU
and leads to all sorts of undesirable behavior.
The bug is easily confirmed by running with CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING and
toggling nx_huge_pages via its module param.
Note, until commit 4ae5acbc4936 ("KVM: x86/mmu: Take slots_lock when
using kvm_mmu_zap_all_fast()", 2019-11-13) the fast zap algorithm used
an ulong-sized generation instead of relying on exclusivity for
correctness, but all callers except the recently added set_nx_huge_pages()
needed to hold slots_lock anyways. Therefore, this patch does not have
to be backported to stable kernels.
Given that toggling nx_huge_pages is by no means a fast path, force it
to conform to the current approach instead of reintroducing the previous
generation count.

On a system without KVM_COMPAT, we prevent IOCTLs from being issued
by a compat task. Although this prevents most silly things from
happening, it can still confuse a 32bit userspace that is able
to open the kvm device (the qemu test suite seems to be pretty
mad with this behaviour).
Take a more radical approach and return a -ENODEV to the compat
task.
