Some events can provide a guest with information about other guests or the
host (e.g. L3 cache stats); providing the capability to restrict access
to a "safe" set of events would limit the potential for the PMU to be used
in any side channel attacks. This change introduces a new VM ioctl that
sets an event filter. If the guest attempts to program a counter for
any blacklisted or non-whitelisted event, the kernel counter won't be
created, so any RDPMC/RDMSR will show 0 instances of that event.

KVM does not have 100% coverage of VMX consistency checks, i.e. some
checks that cause VM-Fail may only be detected by hardware during a
nested VM-Entry. In such a case, KVM must restore L1's state to the
pre-VM-Enter state as L2's state has already been loaded into KVM's
software model.
L1's CR3 and PDPTRs in particular are loaded from vmcs01.GUEST_*. But
when EPT is disabled, the associated fields hold KVM's shadow values,
not L1's "real" values. Fortunately, when EPT is disabled the PDPTRs
come from memory, i.e. are not cached in the VMCS. Which leaves CR3
as the sole anomaly.
A previously applied workaround to handle CR3 was to force nested early
checks if EPT is disabled:
commit 2b27924bb1 ("KVM: nVMX: always use early vmcs check when EPT
is disabled")
Forcing nested early checks is undesirable as doing so adds hundreds of
cycles to every nested VM-Entry. Rather than take this performance hit,
handle CR3 by overwriting vmcs01.GUEST_CR3 with L1's CR3 during nested
VM-Entry when EPT is disabled *and* nested early checks are disabled.
By stuffing vmcs01.GUEST_CR3, nested_vmx_restore_host_state() will
naturally restore the correct vcpu->arch.cr3 from vmcs01.GUEST_CR3.
These shenanigans work because nested_vmx_restore_host_state() does a
full kvm_mmu_reset_context(), i.e. unloads the current MMU, which
guarantees vmcs01.GUEST_CR3 will be rewritten with a new shadow CR3
prior to re-entering L1.
vcpu->arch.root_mmu.root_hpa is set to INVALID_PAGE via:
nested_vmx_restore_host_state() ->
kvm_mmu_reset_context() ->
kvm_mmu_unload() ->
kvm_mmu_free_roots()
kvm_mmu_unload() has WARN_ON(root_hpa != INVALID_PAGE), i.e. we can bank
on 'root_hpa == INVALID_PAGE' unless the implementation of
kvm_mmu_reset_context() is changed.
On the way into L1, VMCS.GUEST_CR3 is guaranteed to be written (on a
successful entry) via:
vcpu_enter_guest() ->
kvm_mmu_reload() ->
kvm_mmu_load() ->
kvm_mmu_load_cr3() ->
vmx_set_cr3()
Stuff vmcs01.GUEST_CR3 if and only if nested early checks are disabled
as a "late" VM-Fail should never happen win that case (KVM WARNs), and
the conditional write avoids the need to restore the correct GUEST_CR3
when nested_vmx_check_vmentry_hw() fails.

that. Similarly, the hardware TLB and paging-structure-cache entries
associated with the appropriate shadow EPT root(s) must be flushed,
but requesting a TLB_FLUSH from this context won't do that either.
How did this ever work? KVM always does a sync_roots and TLB flush (in
the correct context) when transitioning from L1 to L2. That isn't the
best choice for nested VM performance, but it effectively papers over

When Enlightened VMCS is in use, it is valid to do VMCLEAR and,
according to TLFS, this should "transition an enlightened VMCS from the
active to the non-active state". It is, however, wrong to assume that
it is only valid to do VMCLEAR for the eVMCS which is currently active
on the vCPU performing VMCLEAR.
Currently, the logic in handle_vmclear() is broken: in case, there is no
active eVMCS on the vCPU doing VMCLEAR we treat the argument as a 'normal'
VMCS and kvm_vcpu_write_guest() to the 'launch_state' field irreversibly
corrupts the memory area.
So, in case the VMCLEAR argument is not the current active eVMCS on the
vCPU, how can we know if the area it is pointing to is a normal or an
enlightened VMCS?
Thanks to the bug in Hyper-V (see commit 72aeb60c52 ("KVM: nVMX: Verify
eVMCS revision id match supported eVMCS version on eVMCS VMPTRLD")) we can
not, the revision can't be used to distinguish between them. So let's
assume it is always enlightened in case enlightened vmentry is enabled in
the assist page. Also, check if vmx->nested.enlightened_vmcs_enabled to
minimize the impact for 'unenlightened' workloads.

The VMX_PREEMPTION_TIMER flag may be toggled frequently, though not
*very* frequently. Since it does not affect KVM's dirty logic, e.g.
the preemption timer value is loaded from vmcs12 even if vmcs12 is
"clean", there is no need to mark vmcs12 dirty when L1 writes pin

VMWRITEs to the major VMCS controls, pin controls included, are
deceptively expensive. CPUs with VMCS caching (Westmere and later) also
optimize away consistency checks on VM-Entry, i.e. skip consistency
checks if the relevant fields have not changed since the last successful
VM-Entry (of the cached VMCS). Because uops are a precious commodity,
uCode's dirty VMCS field tracking isn't as precise as software would
prefer. Notably, writing any of the major VMCS fields effectively marks
the entire VMCS dirty, i.e. causes the next VM-Entry to perform all
consistency checks, which consumes several hundred cycles.
As it pertains to KVM, toggling PIN_BASED_VMX_PREEMPTION_TIMER more than
doubles the latency of the next VM-Entry (and again when/if the flag is
toggled back). In a non-nested scenario, running a "standard" guest
with the preemption timer enabled, toggling the timer flag is uncommon
but not rare, e.g. roughly 1 in 10 entries. Disabling the preemption
timer can change these numbers due to its use for "immediate exits",
even when explicitly disabled by userspace.
Nested virtualization in particular is painful, as the timer flag is set
for the majority of VM-Enters, but prepare_vmcs02() initializes vmcs02's
pin controls to *clear* the flag since its the timer's final state isn't
known until vmx_vcpu_run(). I.e. the majority of nested VM-Enters end
up unnecessarily writing pin controls *twice*.
Rather than toggle the timer flag in pin controls, set the timer value
itself to the largest allowed value to put it into a "soft disabled"
state, and ignore any spurious preemption timer exits.
Sadly, the timer is a 32-bit value and so theoretically it can fire
before the head death of the universe, i.e. spurious exits are possible.
But because KVM does *not* save the timer value on VM-Exit and because
the timer runs at a slower rate than the TSC, the maximuma timer value
is still sufficiently large for KVM's purposes. E.g. on a modern CPU
with a timer that runs at 1/32 the frequency of a 2.4ghz constant-rate
TSC, the timer will fire after ~55 seconds of *uninterrupted* guest
execution. In other words, spurious VM-Exits are effectively only
possible if the host is completely tickless on the logical CPU, the
guest is not using the preemption timer, and the guest is not generating
VM-Exits for any other reason.
To be safe from bad/weird hardware, disable the preemption timer if its
maximum delay is less than ten seconds. Ten seconds is mostly arbitrary
and was selected in no small part because it's a nice round number.
For simplicity and paranoia, fall back to __kvm_request_immediate_exit()
if the preemption timer is disabled by KVM or userspace. Previously
KVM continued to use the preemption timer to force immediate exits even
when the timer was disabled by userspace. Now that KVM leaves the timer
running instead of truly disabling it, allow userspace to kill it
entirely in the unlikely event the timer (or KVM) malfunctions.

Per Intel's SDM:
... the logical processor uses PAE paging if CR0.PG=1, CR4.PAE=1 and
IA32_EFER.LME=0. A VM entry to a guest that uses PAE paging loads the
PDPTEs into internal, non-architectural registers based on the setting
of the "enable EPT" VM-execution control.
and:
[GUEST_PDPTR] values are saved into the four PDPTE fields as follows:
- If the "enable EPT" VM-execution control is 0 or the logical
processor was not using PAE paging at the time of the VM exit,
the values saved are undefined.
In other words, if EPT is disabled or the guest isn't using PAE paging,
then the PDPTRS aren't consumed by hardware on VM-Entry and are loaded
with junk on VM-Exit. From a nesting perspective, all of the above hold
true, i.e. KVM can effectively ignore the VMCS PDPTRs. E.g. KVM already
loads the PDPTRs from memory when nested EPT is disabled (see
nested_vmx_load_cr3()).
Because KVM intercepts setting CR4.PAE, there is no danger of consuming
a stale value or crushing L1's VMWRITEs regardless of whether L1
intercepts CR4.PAE. The vmcs12's values are unchanged up until the
VM-Exit where L2 sets CR4.PAE, i.e. L0 will see the new PAE state on the
subsequent VM-Entry and propagate the PDPTRs from vmcs12 to vmcs02.

to eliminate the need to VMREAD the value from vmcs02 on nested VM-Exit.
