KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS is used to get the "recommended" maximum number of
VCPUs and arm64/mips/riscv report num_online_cpus(). Powerpc reports
either num_online_cpus() or num_present_cpus(), s390 has multiple
constants depending on hardware features. On x86, KVM reports an
arbitrary value of '710' which is supposed to be the maximum tested
value but it's possible to test all KVM_MAX_VCPUS even when there are
less physical CPUs available.
Drop the arbitrary '710' value and return num_online_cpus() on x86 as
well. The recommendation will match other architectures and will mean
'no CPU overcommit'.
For reference, QEMU only queries KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS to print a warning
when the requested vCPU number exceeds it. The static limit of '710'
is quite weird as smaller systems with just a few physical CPUs should
certainly "recommend" less.

Currently when kvm_update_cpuid_runtime() runs, it assumes that the
KVM_CPUID_FEATURES leaf is located at 0x40000001. This is not true,
however, if Hyper-V support is enabled. In this case the KVM leaves will
be offset.
This patch introdues as new 'kvm_cpuid_base' field into struct
kvm_vcpu_arch to track the location of the KVM leaves and function
kvm_update_kvm_cpuid_base() (called from kvm_set_cpuid()) to locate the
leaves using the 'KVMKVMKVM\0\0\0' signature (which is now given a
definition in kvm_para.h). Adjustment of KVM_CPUID_FEATURES will hence now
target the correct leaf.
NOTE: A new for_each_possible_hypervisor_cpuid_base() macro is intoduced
into processor.h to avoid having duplicate code for the iteration
over possible hypervisor base leaves.

In commit b043138246 ("x86/KVM: Make sure KVM_VCPU_FLUSH_TLB flag is
not missed") we switched to using a gfn_to_pfn_cache for accessing the
guest steal time structure in order to allow for an atomic xchg of the
preempted field. This has a couple of problems.
Firstly, kvm_map_gfn() doesn't work at all for IOMEM pages when the
atomic flag is set, which it is in kvm_steal_time_set_preempted(). So a
guest vCPU using an IOMEM page for its steal time would never have its
preempted field set.
Secondly, the gfn_to_pfn_cache is not invalidated in all cases where it
should have been. There are two stages to the GFN->PFN conversion;
first the GFN is converted to a userspace HVA, and then that HVA is
looked up in the process page tables to find the underlying host PFN.
Correct invalidation of the latter would require being hooked up to the
MMU notifiers, but that doesn't happen---so it just keeps mapping and
unmapping the *wrong* PFN after the userspace page tables change.
In the !IOMEM case at least the stale page *is* pinned all the time it's
cached, so it won't be freed and reused by anyone else while still
receiving the steal time updates. The map/unmap dance only takes care
of the KVM administrivia such as marking the page dirty.
Until the gfn_to_pfn cache handles the remapping automatically by
integrating with the MMU notifiers, we might as well not get a
kernel mapping of it, and use the perfectly serviceable userspace HVA
that we already have. We just need to implement the atomic xchg on
the userspace address with appropriate exception handling, which is
fairly trivial.

To date, VMM-directed TSC synchronization and migration has been a bit
messy. KVM has some baked-in heuristics around TSC writes to infer if
the VMM is attempting to synchronize. This is problematic, as it depends
on host userspace writing to the guest's TSC within 1 second of the last
write.
A much cleaner approach to configuring the guest's views of the TSC is to
simply migrate the TSC offset for every vCPU. Offsets are idempotent,
and thus not subject to change depending on when the VMM actually
reads/writes values from/to KVM. The VMM can then read the TSC once with
KVM_GET_CLOCK to capture a (realtime, host_tsc) pair at the instant when
the guest is paused.

Protect the reference point for kvmclock with a seqcount, so that
kvmclock updates for all vCPUs can proceed in parallel. Xen runstate
updates will also run in parallel and not bounce the kvmclock cacheline.
Of the variables that were protected by pvclock_gtod_sync_lock,
nr_vcpus_matched_tsc is different because it is updated outside
pvclock_update_vm_gtod_copy and read inside it. Therefore, we
need to keep it protected by a spinlock. In fact it must now
be a raw spinlock, because pvclock_update_vm_gtod_copy, being the
write-side of a seqcount, is non-preemptible. Since we already
have tsc_write_lock which is a raw spinlock, we can just use
tsc_write_lock as the lock that protects the write-side of the
seqcount.

Handling the migration of TSCs correctly is difficult, in part because
Linux does not provide userspace with the ability to retrieve a (TSC,
realtime) clock pair for a single instant in time. In lieu of a more
convenient facility, KVM can report similar information in the kvm_clock
structure.
Provide userspace with a host TSC & realtime pair iff the realtime clock
is based on the TSC. If userspace provides KVM_SET_CLOCK with a valid
realtime value, advance the KVM clock by the amount of elapsed time. Do
not step the KVM clock backwards, though, as it is a monotonic
oscillator.

KVM_GUESTDBG_BLOCKIRQ will allow KVM to block all interrupts
while running.
This change is mostly intended for more robust single stepping
of the guest and it has the following benefits when enabled:
* Resuming from a breakpoint is much more reliable.
When resuming execution from a breakpoint, with interrupts enabled,
more often than not, KVM would inject an interrupt and make the CPU
jump immediately to the interrupt handler and eventually return to
the breakpoint, to trigger it again.
From the user point of view it looks like the CPU never executed a
single instruction and in some cases that can even prevent forward
progress, for example, when the breakpoint is placed by an automated
script (e.g lx-symbols), which does something in response to the
breakpoint and then continues the guest automatically.
If the script execution takes enough time for another interrupt to
arrive, the guest will be stuck on the same breakpoint RIP forever.
* Normal single stepping is much more predictable, since it won't
land the debugger into an interrupt handler.
* RFLAGS.TF has less chance to be leaked to the guest:
We set that flag behind the guest's back to do single stepping
but if single step lands us into an interrupt/exception handler
it will be leaked to the guest in the form of being pushed
to the stack.
This doesn't completely eliminate this problem as exceptions
can still happen, but at least this reduces the chances
of this happening.

APICV_INHIBIT_REASON_HYPERV is currently unconditionally forced upon
SynIC activation as SynIC's AutoEOI is incompatible with APICv/AVIC. It is,
however, possible to track whether the feature was actually used by the
guest and only inhibit APICv/AVIC when needed.
TLFS suggests a dedicated 'HV_DEPRECATING_AEOI_RECOMMENDED' flag to let
Windows know that AutoEOI feature should be avoided. While it's up to
KVM userspace to set the flag, KVM can help a bit by exposing global
APICv/AVIC enablement.
Maxim:
- always set HV_DEPRECATING_AEOI_RECOMMENDED in kvm_get_hv_cpuid,

Currently on SVM, the kvm_request_apicv_update toggles the APICv
memslot without doing any synchronization.
If there is a mismatch between that memslot state and the AVIC state,
on one of the vCPUs, an APIC mmio access can be lost:
For example:
VCPU0: enable the APIC_ACCESS_PAGE_PRIVATE_MEMSLOT
VCPU1: access an APIC mmio register.
Since AVIC is still disabled on VCPU1, the access will not be intercepted
by it, and neither will it cause MMIO fault, but rather it will just be
read/written from/to the dummy page mapped into the
APIC_ACCESS_PAGE_PRIVATE_MEMSLOT.
Fix that by adding a lock guarding the AVIC state changes, and carefully
order the operations of kvm_request_apicv_update to avoid this race:
1. Take the lock
2. Send KVM_REQ_APICV_UPDATE
3. Update the apic inhibit reason
4. Release the lock
This ensures that at (2) all vCPUs are kicked out of the guest mode,
but don't yet see the new avic state.
Then only after (4) all other vCPUs can update their AVIC state and resume.

Commit ae561edeb4 ("KVM: x86: DR0-DR3 are not clear on reset") added code to
ensure eff_db are updated when they're modified through non-standard paths.
But there is no reason to also update hardware DRs unless hardware breakpoints
are active or DR exiting is disabled, and in those cases updating hardware is
handled by KVM_DEBUGREG_WONT_EXIT and KVM_DEBUGREG_BP_ENABLED.
KVM_DEBUGREG_RELOAD just causes unnecesarry load of hardware DRs and is better
to be removed.

Add yet another spinlock for the TDP MMU and take it when marking indirect
shadow pages unsync. When using the TDP MMU and L1 is running L2(s) with
nested TDP, KVM may encounter shadow pages for the TDP entries managed by
L1 (controlling L2) when handling a TDP MMU page fault. The unsync logic
is not thread safe, e.g. the kvm_mmu_page fields are not atomic, and
misbehaves when a shadow page is marked unsync via a TDP MMU page fault,
which runs with mmu_lock held for read, not write.
Lack of a critical section manifests most visibly as an underflow of
unsync_children in clear_unsync_child_bit() due to unsync_children being
corrupted when multiple CPUs write it without a critical section and
without atomic operations. But underflow is the best case scenario. The
worst case scenario is that unsync_children prematurely hits '0' and
leads to guest memory corruption due to KVM neglecting to properly sync
shadow pages.
Use an entirely new spinlock even though piggybacking tdp_mmu_pages_lock
would functionally be ok. Usurping the lock could degrade performance when
building upper level page tables on different vCPUs, especially since the
unsync flow could hold the lock for a comparatively long time depending on
the number of indirect shadow pages and the depth of the paging tree.
For simplicity, take the lock for all MMUs, even though KVM could fairly
easily know that mmu_lock is held for write. If mmu_lock is held for
write, there cannot be contention for the inner spinlock, and marking
shadow pages unsync across multiple vCPUs will be slow enough that
bouncing the kvm_arch cacheline should be in the noise.
Note, even though L2 could theoretically be given access to its own EPT
entries, a nested MMU must hold mmu_lock for write and thus cannot race
against a TDP MMU page fault. I.e. the additional spinlock only _needs_ to
be taken by the TDP MMU, as opposed to being taken by any MMU for a VM
that is running with the TDP MMU enabled. Holding mmu_lock for read also
prevents the indirect shadow page from being freed. But as above, keep
it simple and always take the lock.
Alternative #1, the TDP MMU could simply pass "false" for can_unsync and
effectively disable unsync behavior for nested TDP. Write protecting leaf
shadow pages is unlikely to noticeably impact traditional L1 VMMs, as such
VMMs typically don't modify TDP entries, but the same may not hold true for
non-standard use cases and/or VMMs that are migrating physical pages (from
L1's perspective).
Alternative #2, the unsync logic could be made thread safe. In theory,
simply converting all relevant kvm_mmu_page fields to atomics and using
atomic bitops for the bitmap would suffice. However, (a) an in-depth audit
would be required, (b) the code churn would be substantial, and (c) legacy
shadow paging would incur additional atomic operations in performance
sensitive paths for no benefit (to legacy shadow paging).

gfn_to_hva_cache is not thread-safe, so it is usually used only within
a vCPU (whose code is protected by vcpu->mutex). The Xen interface
implementation has such a cache in kvm->arch, but it is not really
used except to store the location of the shared info page. Replace
shinfo_set and shinfo_cache with just the value that is passed via
KVM_XEN_ATTR_TYPE_SHARED_INFO; the only complication is that the
initialization value is not zero anymore and therefore kvm_xen_init_vm
needs to be introduced.

Based on our observations, after any vm-exit associated with vPMU, there
are at least two or more perf interfaces to be called for guest counter
emulation, such as perf_event_{pause, read_value, period}(), and each one
will {lock, unlock} the same perf_event_ctx. The frequency of calls becomes
more severe when guest use counters in a multiplexed manner.
Holding a lock once and completing the KVM request operations in the perf
context would introduce a set of impractical new interfaces. So we can
further optimize the vPMU implementation by avoiding repeated calls to
these interfaces in the KVM context for at least one pattern:
After we call perf_event_pause() once, the event will be disabled and its
internal count will be reset to 0. So there is no need to pause it again
or read its value. Once the event is paused, event period will not be
updated until the next time it's resumed or reprogrammed. And there is
also no need to call perf_event_period twice for a non-running counter,
considering the perf_event for a running counter is never paused.
Based on this implementation, for the following common usage of
sampling 4 events using perf on a 4u8g guest:
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/watchdog
echo 25 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_cpu_time_max_percent
echo 10000 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_cpu_time_max_percent
for i in `seq 1 1 10`
do
taskset -c 0 perf record \
-e cpu-cycles -e instructions -e branch-instructions -e cache-misses \
/root/br_instr a
done
the average latency of the guest NMI handler is reduced from
37646.7 ns to 32929.3 ns (~1.14x speed up) on the Intel ICX server.
Also, in addition to collecting more samples, no loss of sampling
accuracy was observed compared to before the optimization.

Add a fallback mechanism to the in-kernel instruction emulator that
allows userspace the opportunity to process an instruction the emulator
was unable to. When the in-kernel instruction emulator fails to process
an instruction it will either inject a #UD into the guest or exit to
userspace with exit reason KVM_INTERNAL_ERROR. This is because it does
not know how to proceed in an appropriate manner. This feature lets
userspace get involved to see if it can figure out a better path
forward.

Drop the pre-computed last_nonleaf_level, which is arguably wrong and at
best confusing. Per the comment:
Can have large pages at levels 2..last_nonleaf_level-1.
the intent of the variable would appear to be to track what levels can
_legally_ have large pages, but that intent doesn't align with reality.
The computed value will be wrong for 5-level paging, or if 1gb pages are
not supported.
The flawed code is not a problem in practice, because except for 32-bit
PSE paging, bit 7 is reserved if large pages aren't supported at the
level. Take advantage of this invariant and simply omit the level magic
math for 64-bit page tables (including PAE).
For 32-bit paging (non-PAE), the adjustments are needed purely because
bit 7 is ignored if PSE=0. Retain that logic as is, but make
is_last_gpte() unique per PTTYPE so that the PSE check is avoided for
PAE and EPT paging. In the spirit of avoiding branches, bump the "last
nonleaf level" for 32-bit PSE paging by adding the PSE bit itself.
Note, bit 7 is ignored or has other meaning in CR3/EPTP, but despite
FNAME(walk_addr_generic) briefly grabbing CR3/EPTP in "pte", they are
not PTEs and will blow up all the other gpte helpers.

Drop MAXPHYADDR from mmu_role now that all MMUs have their role
invalidated after a CPUID update. Invalidating the role forces all MMUs
to re-evaluate the guest's MAXPHYADDR, and the guest's MAXPHYADDR can
only be changed only through a CPUID update.
This reverts commit de3ccd26fa.

Warn userspace that KVM_SET_CPUID{,2} after KVM_RUN "may" cause guest
instability. Initialize last_vmentry_cpu to -1 and use it to detect if
the vCPU has been run at least once when its CPUID model is changed.
KVM does not correctly handle changes to paging related settings in the
guest's vCPU model after KVM_RUN, e.g. MAXPHYADDR, GBPAGES, etc... KVM
could theoretically zap all shadow pages, but actually making that happen
is a mess due to lock inversion (vcpu->mutex is held). And even then,
updating paging settings on the fly would only work if all vCPUs are
stopped, updated in concert with identical settings, then restarted.
To support running vCPUs with different vCPU models (that affect paging),
KVM would need to track all relevant information in kvm_mmu_page_role.
Note, that's the _page_ role, not the full mmu_role. Updating mmu_role
isn't sufficient as a vCPU can reuse a shadow page translation that was
created by a vCPU with different settings and thus completely skip the
reserved bit checks (that are tied to CPUID).
Tracking CPUID state in kvm_mmu_page_role is _extremely_ undesirable as
it would require doubling gfn_track from a u16 to a u32, i.e. would
increase KVM's memory footprint by 2 bytes for every 4kb of guest memory.
E.g. MAXPHYADDR (6 bits), GBPAGES, AMD vs. INTEL = 1 bit, and SEV C-BIT
would all need to be tracked.
In practice, there is no remotely sane use case for changing any paging
related CPUID entries on the fly, so just sweep it under the rug (after
yelling at userspace).

Invalidate all MMUs' roles after a CPUID update to force reinitizliation
of the MMU context/helpers. Despite the efforts of commit de3ccd26fa
("KVM: MMU: record maximum physical address width in kvm_mmu_extended_role"),
there are still a handful of CPUID-based properties that affect MMU
behavior but are not incorporated into mmu_role. E.g. 1gb hugepage
support, AMD vs. Intel handling of bit 8, and SEV's C-Bit location all
factor into the guest's reserved PTE bits.
The obvious alternative would be to add all such properties to mmu_role,
but doing so provides no benefit over simply forcing a reinitialization
on every CPUID update, as setting guest CPUID is a rare operation.
Note, reinitializing all MMUs after a CPUID update does not fix all of
KVM's woes. Specifically, kvm_mmu_page_role doesn't track the CPUID
properties, which means that a vCPU can reuse shadow pages that should
not exist for the new vCPU model, e.g. that map GPAs that are now illegal
(due to MAXPHYADDR changes) or that set bits that are now reserved
(PAGE_SIZE for 1gb pages), etc...
Tracking the relevant CPUID properties in kvm_mmu_page_role would address
the majority of problems, but fully tracking that much state in the
shadow page role comes with an unpalatable cost as it would require a
non-trivial increase in KVM's memory footprint. The GBPAGES case is even
worse, as neither Intel nor AMD provides a way to disable 1gb hugepage
support in the hardware page walker, i.e. it's a virtualization hole that
can't be closed when using TDP.
In other words, resetting the MMU after a CPUID update is largely a
superficial fix. But, it will allow reverting the tracking of MAXPHYADDR
in the mmu_role, and that case in particular needs to mostly work because
KVM's shadow_root_level depends on guest MAXPHYADDR when 5-level paging
is supported. For cases where KVM botches guest behavior, the damage is
limited to that guest. But for the shadow_root_level, a misconfigured
MMU can cause KVM to incorrectly access memory, e.g. due to walking off
the end of its shadow page tables.
