Old KVM guests invoke single-context invvpid without actually checking
whether it is supported. This was fixed by commit 518c8ae ("KVM: VMX:
Make sure single type invvpid is supported before issuing invvpid
instruction", 2010-08-01) and the patch after, but pre-2.6.36
kernels lack it including RHEL 6.

Pull 'objtool' stack frame validation from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree adds a new kernel build-time object file validation feature
(ONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION=y): kernel stack frame correctness validation.
It was written by and is maintained by Josh Poimboeuf.
The motivation: there's a category of hard to find kernel bugs, most
of them in assembly code (but also occasionally in C code), that
degrades the quality of kernel stack dumps/backtraces. These bugs are
hard to detect at the source code level. Such bugs result in
incorrect/incomplete backtraces most of time - but can also in some
rare cases result in crashes or other undefined behavior.
The build time correctness checking is done via the new 'objtool'
user-space utility that was written for this purpose and which is
hosted in the kernel repository in tools/objtool/. The tool's (very
simple) UI and source code design is shaped after Git and perf and
shares quite a bit of infrastructure with tools/perf (which tooling
infrastructure sharing effort got merged via perf and is already
upstream). Objtool follows the well-known kernel coding style.
Objtool does not try to check .c or .S files, it instead analyzes the
resulting .o generated machine code from first principles: it decodes
the instruction stream and interprets it. (Right now objtool supports
the x86-64 architecture.)
From tools/objtool/Documentation/stack-validation.txt:
"The kernel CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION option enables a host tool named
objtool which runs at compile time. It has a "check" subcommand
which analyzes every .o file and ensures the validity of its stack
metadata. It enforces a set of rules on asm code and C inline
assembly code so that stack traces can be reliable.
Currently it only checks frame pointer usage, but there are plans to
add CFI validation for C files and CFI generation for asm files.
For each function, it recursively follows all possible code paths
and validates the correct frame pointer state at each instruction.
It also follows code paths involving special sections, like
.altinstructions, __jump_table, and __ex_table, which can add
alternative execution paths to a given instruction (or set of
instructions). Similarly, it knows how to follow switch statements,
for which gcc sometimes uses jump tables."
When this new kernel option is enabled (it's disabled by default), the
tool, if it finds any suspicious assembly code pattern, outputs
warnings in compiler warning format:
warning: objtool: rtlwifi_rate_mapping()+0x2e7: frame pointer state mismatch
warning: objtool: cik_tiling_mode_table_init()+0x6ce: call without frame pointer save/setup
warning: objtool:__schedule()+0x3c0: duplicate frame pointer save
warning: objtool:__schedule()+0x3fd: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer
... so that scripts that pick up compiler warnings will notice them.
All known warnings triggered by the tool are fixed by the tree, most
of the commits in fact prepare the kernel to be warning-free. Most of
them are bugfixes or cleanups that stand on their own, but there are
also some annotations of 'special' stack frames for justified cases
such entries to JIT-ed code (BPF) or really special boot time code.
There are two other long-term motivations behind this tool as well:
- To improve the quality and reliability of kernel stack frames, so
that they can be used for optimized live patching.
- To create independent infrastructure to check the correctness of
CFI stack frames at build time. CFI debuginfo is notoriously
unreliable and we cannot use it in the kernel as-is without extra
checking done both on the kernel side and on the build side.
The quality of kernel stack frames matters to debuggability as well,
so IMO we can merge this without having to consider the live patching
or CFI debuginfo angle"

KVM has special logic to handle pages with pte.u=1 and pte.w=0 when
CR0.WP=1. These pages' SPTEs flip continuously between two states:
U=1/W=0 (user and supervisor reads allowed, supervisor writes not allowed)
and U=0/W=1 (supervisor reads and writes allowed, user writes not allowed).
When SMEP is in effect, however, U=0 will enable kernel execution of
this page. To avoid this, KVM also sets NX=1 in the shadow PTE together
with U=0, making the two states U=1/W=0/NX=gpte.NX and U=0/W=1/NX=1.
When guest EFER has the NX bit cleared, the reserved bit check thinks
that the latter state is invalid; teach it that the smep_andnot_wp case
will also use the NX bit of SPTEs.

Yes, all of these are needed. :) This is admittedly a bit odd, but
kvm-unit-tests access.flat tests this if you run it with "-cpu host"
and of course ept=0.
KVM runs the guest with CR0.WP=1, so it must handle supervisor writes
specially when pte.u=1/pte.w=0/CR0.WP=0. Such writes cause a fault
when U=1 and W=0 in the SPTE, but they must succeed because CR0.WP=0.
When KVM gets the fault, it sets U=0 and W=1 in the shadow PTE and
restarts execution. This will still cause a user write to fault, while
supervisor writes will succeed. User reads will fault spuriously now,
and KVM will then flip U and W again in the SPTE (U=1, W=0). User reads
will be enabled and supervisor writes disabled, going back to the
originary situation where supervisor writes fault spuriously.
When SMEP is in effect, however, U=0 will enable kernel execution of
this page. To avoid this, KVM also sets NX=1 in the shadow PTE together
with U=0. If the guest has not enabled NX, the result is a continuous
stream of page faults due to the NX bit being reserved.
The fix is to force EFER.NX=1 even if the CPU is taking care of the EFER
switch. (All machines with SMEP have the CPU_LOAD_IA32_EFER vm-entry
control, so they do not use user-return notifiers for EFER---if they did,
EFER.NX would be forced to the same value as the host).
There is another bug in the reserved bit check, which I've split to a
separate patch for easier application to stable kernels.

Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

When eager FPU is disabled, KVM will still see the MPX bit in CPUID and
presumably the MPX vmentry and vmexit controls. However, it will not
be able to expose the MPX XSAVE features to the guest, because the guest's
accessible XSAVE features are always a subset of host_xcr0.
In this case, we should disable the MPX CPUID bit, the BNDCFGS MSR,
and the MPX vmentry and vmexit controls for nested virtualization.
It is then unnecessary to enable guest eager FPU if the guest has the
MPX CPUID bit set.

Linux guests on Haswell (and also SandyBridge and Broadwell, at least)
would crash if you decided to run a host command that uses PEBS, like
perf record -e 'cpu/mem-stores/pp' -a
This happens because KVM is using VMX MSR switching to disable PEBS, but
SDM [2015-12] 18.4.4.4 Re-configuring PEBS Facilities explains why it
isn't safe:
When software needs to reconfigure PEBS facilities, it should allow a
quiescent period between stopping the prior event counting and setting
up a new PEBS event. The quiescent period is to allow any latent
residual PEBS records to complete its capture at their previously
specified buffer address (provided by IA32_DS_AREA).
There might not be a quiescent period after the MSR switch, so a CPU
ends up using host's MSR_IA32_DS_AREA to access an area in guest's
memory. (Or MSR switching is just buggy on some models.)
The guest can learn something about the host this way:
If the guest doesn't map address pointed by MSR_IA32_DS_AREA, it results
in #PF where we leak host's MSR_IA32_DS_AREA through CR2.
After that, a malicious guest can map and configure memory where
MSR_IA32_DS_AREA is pointing and can therefore get an output from
host's tracing.
This is not a critical leak as the host must initiate with PEBS tracing
and I have not been able to get a record from more than one instruction
before vmentry in vmx_vcpu_run() (that place has most registers already
overwritten with guest's).
We could disable PEBS just few instructions before vmentry, but
disabling it earlier shouldn't affect host tracing too much.
We also don't need to switch MSR_IA32_PEBS_ENABLE on VMENTRY, but that
optimization isn't worth its code, IMO.
(If you are implementing PEBS for guests, be sure to handle the case
where both host and guest enable PEBS, because this patch doesn't.)

Branch-free code is fun and everybody knows how much Avi loves it,
but last_pte_bitmap takes it a bit to the extreme. Since the code

(level == 1 ||

we can make it branch-free without storing the entire truth table;
it is enough to cache N.

Calling kvm_unlink_unsync_page in the middle of __kvm_sync_page makes
things unnecessarily tricky. If kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page is called,
it will call kvm_unlink_unsync_page too. So kvm_unlink_unsync_page can
be called just as well at the beginning or the end of __kvm_sync_page...
which means that we might do it in kvm_sync_page too and remove the
parameter.
kvm_sync_page ends up being the same code that kvm_sync_pages used
to have before the previous patch.

kvm_mmu_pages_init is doing some really yucky stuff. It is setting
up a sentinel for mmu_page_clear_parents; however, because of a) the
way levels are numbered starting from 1 and b) the way mmu_page_path
sizes its arrays with PT64_ROOT_LEVEL-1 elements, the access can be
out of bounds. This is harmless because the code overwrites up to the
first two elements of parents->idx and these are initialized, and
because the sentinel is not needed in this case---mmu_page_clear_parents
exits anyway when it gets to the end of the array. However ubsan
complains, and everyone else should too.
This fix does three things. First it makes the mmu_page_path arrays
PT64_ROOT_LEVEL elements in size, so that we can write to them without
checking the level in advance. Second it disintegrates kvm_mmu_pages_init
between mmu_unsync_walk (to reset the struct kvm_mmu_pages) and
for_each_sp (to place the NULL sentinel at the end of the current path).
This is okay because the mmu_page_path is only used in
mmu_pages_clear_parents; mmu_pages_clear_parents itself is called within
a for_each_sp iterator, and hence always after a call to mmu_pages_next.
Third it changes mmu_pages_clear_parents to just use the sentinel to
stop iteration, without checking the bounds on level.

where the interrupt would not be delivered in this tick of pit_timer_fn.
PIT would have eventually delivered the interrupt, but we sacrifice
perofmance to make sure that interrupts are not needlessly delayed.
sfence isn't enough: atomic_dec_if_positive does atomic_read first and
x86 can reorder loads before stores. lfence isn't enough: store can
pass lfence, turning it into a nop. A compiler barrier would be more
than enough as CPU needs to stall for unbelievably long to use fences.
This patch doesn't do anything in kvm_pit_reset_reinject, because any
order of resets can race, but the result differs by at most one
interrupt, which is ok, because it's the same result as if the reset
happened at a slightly different time. (Original code didn't protect
the reset path with a proper lock, so users have to be robust.)

Discard policy uses ack_notifiers to prevent injection of PIT interrupts
before EOI from the last one.
This patch changes the policy to always try to deliver the interrupt,
which makes a difference when its vector is in ISR.
Old implementation would drop the interrupt, but proposed one injects to
IRR, like real hardware would.
The old policy breaks legacy NMI watchdogs, where PIT is used through
virtual wire (LVT0): PIT never sends an interrupt before receiving EOI,
thus a guest deadlock with disabled interrupts will stop NMIs.
Note that NMI doesn't do EOI, so PIT also had to send a normal interrupt
through IOAPIC. (KVM's PIT is deeply rotten and luckily not used much
in modern systems.)
Even though there is a chance of regressions, I think we can fix the
LVT0 NMI bug without introducing a new tick policy.

Notifier list is introduced so that any node wants to receive the track
event can register to the list
Two APIs are introduced here:
- kvm_page_track_register_notifier(): register the notifier to receive
track event
- kvm_page_track_unregister_notifier(): stop receiving track event by
unregister the notifier
The callback, node->track_write() is called when a write access on the
write tracked page happens

If the page fault is caused by write access on write tracked page, the
real shadow page walking is skipped, we lost the chance to clear write
flooding for the page structure current vcpu is using

The page fault caused by write access on the write tracked page can not
be fixed, it always need to be emulated. page_fault_handle_page_track()
is the fast path we introduce here to skip holding mmu-lock and shadow
page table walking
However, if the page table is not present, it is worth making the page
table entry present and readonly to make the read access happy
mmu_need_write_protect() need to be cooked to avoid page becoming writable
when making page table present or sync/prefetch shadow page table entries

These two functions are the user APIs:
- kvm_slot_page_track_add_page(): add the page to the tracking pool
after that later specified access on that page will be tracked
- kvm_slot_page_track_remove_page(): remove the page from the tracking
pool, the specified access on the page is not tracked after the last
user is gone
Both of these are called under the protection both of mmu-lock and
kvm->srcu or kvm->slots_lock

The array, gfn_track[mode][gfn], is introduced in memory slot for every
guest page, this is the tracking count for the gust page on different
modes. If the page is tracked then the count is increased, the page is
not tracked after the count reaches zero
We use 'unsigned short' as the tracking count which should be enough as
shadow page table only can use 2^14 (2^3 for level, 2^1 for cr4_pae, 2^2
for quadrant, 2^3 for access, 2^1 for nxe, 2^1 for cr0_wp, 2^1 for
smep_andnot_wp, 2^1 for smap_andnot_wp, and 2^1 for smm) at most, there
is enough room for other trackers
Two callbacks, kvm_page_track_create_memslot() and
kvm_page_track_free_memslot() are implemented in this patch, they are
internally used to initialize and reclaim the memory of the array
Currently, only write track mode is supported
