X86 CPUs need to have some magic happening to enable the virtualization extensions on them. This magic can result in unpleasant results for users, like blocking other VMMs from working (vmx) or using invalid TLB entries (svm). Currently KVM activates virtualization when the respective kernel module is loaded. This blocks us from autoloading KVM modules without breaking other VMMs. To circumvent this problem at least a bit, this patch introduces on demand activation of virtualization. This means, that instead virtualization is enabled on creation of the first virtual machine and disabled on destruction of the last one. So using this, KVM can be easily autoloaded, while keeping other hypervisors usable.

It is possible that stale EPTP-tagged mappings are used, if a vcpu migrates to a different pcpu. Set KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH in vmx_vcpu_load, when switching pcpus, which will invalidate both VPID and EPT mappings on the next vm-entry.

The performance counter MSRs are different for AMD and Intel CPUs and they are chosen mainly by the CPUID vendor string. This patch catches writes to all addresses (regardless of VMX/SVM path) and handles them in the generic MSR handler routine. Writing a 0 into the event select register is something we perfectly emulate ;-), so don't print out a warning to dmesg in this case. This fixes booting a 64bit Windows guest with an AMD CPUID on an Intel host. Signed-off-by: NAndre Przywara <andre.przywara@amd.com> Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

"Unrestricted Guest" feature is added in the VMX specification. Intel Westmere and onwards processors will support this feature. It allows kvm guests to run real mode and unpaged mode code natively in the VMX mode when EPT is turned on. With the unrestricted guest there is no need to emulate the guest real mode code in the vm86 container or in the emulator. Also the guest big real mode code works like native. The attached patch enhances KVM to use the unrestricted guest feature if available on the processor. It also adds a new kernel/module parameter to disable the unrestricted guest feature at the boot time.

Callers of alloc_pages_node() can optionally specify -1 as a node to mean "allocate from the current node". However, a number of the callers in fast paths know for a fact their node is valid. To avoid a comparison and branch, this patch adds alloc_pages_exact_node() that only checks the nid with VM_BUG_ON(). Callers that know their node is valid are then converted.

VT-x needs an explicit MC vector intercept to handle machine checks in the hyper visor. It also has a special option to catch machine checks that happen during VT entry. Do these interceptions and forward them to the Linux machine check handler. Make it always look like user space is interrupted because the machine check handler treats kernel/user space differently.
