This patch adds a bunch of tests of the validity of the vmcs12 fields, according to what the VMX spec and our implementation allows. If fields we cannot (or don't want to) honor are discovered, an entry failure is emulated. According to the spec, there are two types of entry failures: If the problem was in vmcs12's host state or control fields, the VMLAUNCH instruction simply fails. But a problem is found in the guest state, the behavior is more similar to that of an exit. Signed-off-by: NNadav Har'El <nyh@il.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NMarcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>

This patch implements nested_vmx_vmexit(), called when the nested L2 guest exits and we want to run its L1 parent and let it handle this exit. Note that this will not necessarily be called on every L2 exit. L0 may decide to handle a particular exit on its own, without L1's involvement; In that case, L0 will handle the exit, and resume running L2, without running L1 and without calling nested_vmx_vmexit(). The logic for deciding whether to handle a particular exit in L1 or in L0, i.e., whether to call nested_vmx_vmexit(), will appear in a separate patch below.

In certain use-cases, we want to allocate guests fixed time slices where idle guest cycles leave the machine idling. There are many approaches to achieve this but the most direct is to simply avoid trapping the HLT instruction which lets the guest directly execute the instruction putting the processor to sleep. Introduce this as a module-level option for kvm-vmx.ko since if you do this for one guest, you probably want to do it for all.

Currently the exit is unhandled, so guest halts with error if it tries to execute INVD instruction. Call into emulator when INVD instruction is executed by a guest instead.

New NHM processors will support Pause-Loop Exiting by adding 2 VM-execution control fields: PLE_Gap - upper bound on the amount of time between two successive executions of PAUSE in a loop. PLE_Window - upper bound on the amount of time a guest is allowed to execute in a PAUSE loop If the time, between this execution of PAUSE and previous one, exceeds the PLE_Gap, processor consider this PAUSE belongs to a new loop. Otherwise, processor determins the the total execution time of this loop(since 1st PAUSE in this loop), and triggers a VM exit if total time exceeds the PLE_Window. * Refer SDM volume 3b section 21.6.13 & 22.1.3. Pause-Loop Exiting can be used to detect Lock-Holder Preemption, where one VP is sched-out after hold a spinlock, then other VPs for same lock are sched-in to waste the CPU time. Our tests indicate that most spinlocks are held for less than 212 cycles. Performance tests show that with 2X LP over-commitment we can get +2% perf improvement for kernel build(Even more perf gain with more LPs).

"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.

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.

So far KVM only had basic x86 debug register support, once introduced to realize guest debugging that way. The guest itself was not able to use those registers. This patch now adds (almost) full support for guest self-debugging via hardware registers. It refactors the code, moving generic parts out of SVM (VMX was already cleaned up by the KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG patches), and it ensures that the registers are properly switched between host and guest. This patch also prepares debug register usage by the host. The latter will (once wired-up by the following patch) allow for hardware breakpoints/watchpoints in guest code. If this is enabled, the guest will only see faked debug registers without functionality, but with content reflecting the guest's modifications. Tested on Intel only, but SVM /should/ work as well, but who knows... Known limitations: Trapping on tss switch won't work - most probably on Intel. Credits also go to Joerg Roedel - I used his once posted debugging series as platform for this patch. Signed-off-by: NJan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

There is a potential issue that, when guest using pagetable without vmexit when EPT enabled, guest would use PAT/PCD/PWT bits to index PAT msr for it's memory, which would be inconsistent with host side and would cause host MCE due to inconsistent cache attribute. The patch set IGMT bit in EPT entry to ignore guest PAT and use WB as default memory type to protect host (notice that all memory mapped by KVM should be WB).
