This patch handles PCID/INVPCID for guests.
Process-context identifiers (PCIDs) are a facility by which a logical processor
may cache information for multiple linear-address spaces so that the processor
may retain cached information when software switches to a different linear
address space. Refer to section 4.10.1 in IA32 Intel Software Developer's Manual
Volume 3A for details.
For guests with EPT, the PCID feature is enabled and INVPCID behaves as running
natively.
For guests without EPT, the PCID feature is disabled and INVPCID triggers #UD.

Checking EFLAGS.IF is incorrect as we might be in interrupt shadow. If
that is the case, the main loop will notice that and not inject the interrupt,
causing an endless loop.
Fix by using vmx_interrupt_allowed() to check if we can inject an interrupt
instead.

Some userspace (e.g. QEMU 1.1) munge the d and g bits of segment

In protected mode, the CPL is defined as the lower two bits of CS, as set by
the last far jump. But during the transition to protected mode, there is no
last far jump, so we need to return zero (the inherited real mode CPL).
Fix by reading CPL from the cache during the transition. This isn't 100%
correct since we don't set the CPL cache on a far jump, but since protected
mode transition will always jump to a segment with RPL=0, it will always
work.

On x86_64, we can defer %ds and %es reload to the heavyweight context switch,
since nothing in the lightweight paths uses the host %ds or %es (they are
ignored by the processor). Furthermore we can avoid the load if the segments
are null, by letting the hardware load the null segments for us. This is the
expected case.
On i386, we could avoid the reload entirely, since the entry.S paths take care
of reload, except for the SYSEXIT path which leaves %ds and %es set to __USER_DS.
So we set them to the same values as well.
Saves about 70 cycles out of 1600 (around 4%; noisy measurements).

The vmx exit code unconditionally restores %ds and %es to __USER_DS. This
can override the user's values, since %ds and %es are not saved and restored
in x86_64 syscalls. In practice, this isn't dangerous since nobody uses
segment registers in long mode, least of all programs that use KVM.

Shared MSRs (MSR_*STAR and related) are stored in both vmx->guest_msrs
and in the CPU registers, but vmx_set_msr() only updated memory. Prior
to 46199f33c2953, this didn't matter, since we called vmx_load_host_state(),
which scheduled a vmx_save_host_state(), which re-synchronized the CPU
state, but now we don't, so the CPU state will not be synchronized until
the next exit to host userspace. This mostly affects nested vmx workloads,
which play with these MSRs a lot.
Fix by loading the MSR eagerly.

This requires some restructuring; rather than use 'virtual_tsc_khz'
to indicate whether hardware rate scaling is in effect, we consider
each VCPU to always have a virtual TSC rate. Instead, there is new
logic above the vendor-specific hardware scaling that decides whether
it is even necessary to use and updates all rate variables used by
common code. This means we can simply query the virtual rate at
any point, which is needed for software rate scaling.
There is also now a threshold added to the TSC rate scaling; minor
differences and variations of measured TSC rate can accidentally
provoke rate scaling to be used when it is not needed. Instead,
we have a tolerance variable called tsc_tolerance_ppm, which is
the maximum variation from user requested rate at which scaling
will be used. The default is 250ppm, which is the half the
threshold for NTP adjustment, allowing for some hardware variation.
In the event that hardware rate scaling is not available, we can
kludge a bit by forcing TSC catchup to turn on when a faster than
hardware speed has been requested, but there is nothing available
yet for the reverse case; this requires a trap and emulate software
implementation for RDTSC, which is still forthcoming.

While various modules include <asm/i387.h> to get access to things we
actually *intend* for them to use, most of that header file was really
pretty low-level internal stuff that we really don't want to expose to
others.
So split the header file into two: the small exported interfaces remain
in <asm/i387.h>, while the internal definitions that are only used by
core architecture code are now in <asm/fpu-internal.h>.
The guiding principle for this was to expose functions that we export to
modules, and leave them in <asm/i387.h>, while stuff that is used by
task switching or was marked GPL-only is in <asm/fpu-internal.h>.
The fpu-internal.h file could be further split up too, especially since
arch/x86/kvm/ uses some of the remaining stuff for its module. But that
kvm usage should probably be abstracted out a bit, and at least now the
internal FPU accessor functions are much more contained. Even if it
isn't perhaps as contained as it _could_ be.

This moves the bit that indicates whether a thread has ownership of the
FPU from the TS_USEDFPU bit in thread_info->status to a word of its own
(called 'has_fpu') in task_struct->thread.has_fpu.
This fixes two independent bugs at the same time:
- changing 'thread_info->status' from the scheduler causes nasty
problems for the other users of that variable, since it is defined to
be thread-synchronous (that's what the "TS_" part of the naming was
supposed to indicate).
So perfectly valid code could (and did) do
ti->status |= TS_RESTORE_SIGMASK;
and the compiler was free to do that as separate load, or and store
instructions. Which can cause problems with preemption, since a task
switch could happen in between, and change the TS_USEDFPU bit. The
change to TS_USEDFPU would be overwritten by the final store.
In practice, this seldom happened, though, because the 'status' field
was seldom used more than once, so gcc would generally tend to
generate code that used a read-modify-write instruction and thus
happened to avoid this problem - RMW instructions are naturally low
fat and preemption-safe.
- On x86-32, the current_thread_info() pointer would, during interrupts
and softirqs, point to a *copy* of the real thread_info, because
x86-32 uses %esp to calculate the thread_info address, and thus the
separate irq (and softirq) stacks would cause these kinds of odd
thread_info copy aliases.
This is normally not a problem, since interrupts aren't supposed to
look at thread information anyway (what thread is running at
interrupt time really isn't very well-defined), but it confused the
heck out of irq_fpu_usable() and the code that tried to squirrel
away the FPU state.
(It also caused untold confusion for us poor kernel developers).
It also turns out that using 'task_struct' is actually much more natural
for most of the call sites that care about the FPU state, since they
tend to work with the task struct for other reasons anyway (ie
scheduling). And the FPU data that we are going to save/restore is
found there too.
Thanks to Arjan Van De Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> for pointing us to
the %esp issue.

This creates three helper functions that do the TS_USEDFPU accesses, and
makes everybody that used to do it by hand use those helpers instead.
In addition, there's a couple of helper functions for the "change both
CR0.TS and TS_USEDFPU at the same time" case, and the places that do
that together have been changed to use those. That means that we have
fewer random places that open-code this situation.
The intent is partly to clarify the code without actually changing any
semantics yet (since we clearly still have some hard to reproduce bug in
this area), but also to make it much easier to use another approach
entirely to caching the CR0.TS bit for software accesses.
Right now we use a bit in the thread-info 'status' variable (this patch
does not change that), but we might want to make it a full field of its
own or even make it a per-cpu variable.

When L0 wishes to inject an interrupt while L2 is running, it emulates an exit
to L1 with EXIT_REASON_EXTERNAL_INTERRUPT. This was explained in the original
nVMX patch 23, titled "Correct handling of interrupt injection".
Unfortunately, it is possible (though rare) that at this point there is valid
idt_vectoring_info in vmcs02. For example, L1 injected some interrupt to L2,
and when L2 tried to run this interrupt's handler, it got a page fault - so
it returns the original interrupt vector in idt_vectoring_info. The problem
is that if this is the case, we cannot exit to L1 with EXTERNAL_INTERRUPT
like we wished to, because the VMX spec guarantees that idt_vectoring_info
and exit_reason_external_interrupt can never happen together. This is not
just specified in the spec - a KVM L1 actually prints a kernel warning
"unexpected, valid vectoring info" if we violate this guarantee, and some
users noticed these warnings in L1's logs.
In order to better emulate a processor, which would never return the external
interrupt and the idt-vectoring-info together, we need to separate the two
injection steps: First, complete L1's injection into L2 (i.e., enter L2,
injecting to it the idt-vectoring-info); Second, after entry into L2 succeeds
and it exits back to L0, exit to L1 with the EXIT_REASON_EXTERNAL_INTERRUPT.
Most of this is already in the code - the only change we need is to remain
in L2 (and not exit to L1) in this case.
Note that the previous patch ensures (by using KVM_REQ_IMMEDIATE_EXIT) that
although we do enter L2 first, it will exit immediately after processing its
injection, allowing us to promptly inject to L1.
Note how we test vmcs12->idt_vectoring_info_field; This isn't really the
vmcs12 value (we haven't exited to L1 yet, so vmcs12 hasn't been updated),
but rather the place we save, at the end of vmx_vcpu_run, the vmcs02 value
of this field. This was explained in patch 25 ("Correct handling of idt
vectoring info") of the original nVMX patch series.
Thanks to Dave Allan and to Federico Simoncelli for reporting this bug,

for helping to improve it.

This patch adds a new vcpu->requests bit, KVM_REQ_IMMEDIATE_EXIT.
This bit requests that when next entering the guest, we should run it only
for as little as possible, and exit again.
We use this new option in nested VMX: When L1 launches L2, but L0 wishes L1
to continue running so it can inject an event to it, we unfortunately cannot
just pretend to have run L2 for a little while - We must really launch L2,
otherwise certain one-off vmcs12 parameters (namely, L1 injection into L2)
will be lost. So the existing code runs L2 in this case.
But L2 could potentially run for a long time until it exits, and the
injection into L1 will be delayed. The new KVM_REQ_IMMEDIATE_EXIT allows us
to request that L2 will be entered, as necessary, but will exit as soon as
possible after entry.
Our implementation of this request uses smp_send_reschedule() to send a
self-IPI, with interrupts disabled. The interrupts remain disabled until the
guest is entered, and then, after the entry is complete (often including
processing an injection and jumping to the relevant handler), the physical
interrupt is noticed and causes an exit.
On recent Intel processors, we could have achieved the same goal by using
MTF instead of a self-IPI. Another technique worth considering in the future
is to use VM_EXIT_ACK_INTR_ON_EXIT and a highest-priority vector IPI - to
slightly improve performance by avoiding the useless interrupt handler
which ends up being called when smp_send_reschedule() is used.

This patch fixes two corner cases in nested (L2) handling of TSC-related
issues:
1. Somewhat suprisingly, according to the Intel spec, if L1 allows WRMSR to
the TSC MSR without an exit, then this should set L1's TSC value itself - not
offset by vmcs12.TSC_OFFSET (like was wrongly done in the previous code).
2. Allow L1 to disable the TSC_OFFSETING control, and then correctly ignore
the vmcs12.TSC_OFFSET.

KVM assumed in several places that reading the TSC MSR returns the value for
L1. This is incorrect, because when L2 is running, the correct TSC read exit
emulation is to return L2's value.
We therefore add a new x86_ops function, read_l1_tsc, to use in places that
specifically need to read the L1 TSC, NOT the TSC of the current level of
guest.
Note that one change, of one line in kvm_arch_vcpu_load, is made redundant
by a different patch sent by Zachary Amsden (and not yet applied):
kvm_arch_vcpu_load() should not read the guest TSC, and if it didn't, of
course we didn't have to change the call of kvm_get_msr() to read_l1_tsc().

The vmexit tracepoints format the exit_reason to make it human-readable.
Since the exit_reason depends on the instruction set (vmx or svm),
formatting is handled with ftrace_print_symbols_seq() by referring to
the appropriate exit reason table.
However, the ftrace_print_symbols_seq() function is not meant to be used
directly in tracepoints since it does not export the formatting table
which userspace tools like trace-cmd and perf use to format traces.
In practice perf dies when formatting vmexit-related events and
trace-cmd falls back to printing the numeric value (with extra
formatting code in the kvm plugin to paper over this limitation). Other
userspace consumers of vmexit-related tracepoints would be in similar
trouble.
To avoid significant changes to the kvm_exit tracepoint, this patch
moves the vmx and svm exit reason tables into arch/x86/kvm/trace.h and
selects the right table with __print_symbolic() depending on the
instruction set. Note that __print_symbolic() is designed for exporting
the formatting table to userspace and allows trace-cmd and perf to work.
