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.

The idea is from Avi:

| We could cache the result of a miss in an spte by using a reserved bit, and
| checking the page fault error code (or seeing if we get an ept violation or
| ept misconfiguration), so if we get repeated mmio on a page, we don't need to
| search the slot list/tree.
| (https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/22/221)

When the page fault is caused by mmio, we cache the info in the shadow page
table, and also set the reserved bits in the shadow page table, so if the mmio
is caused again, we can quickly identify it and emulate it directly

Searching mmio gfn in memslots is heavy since we need to walk all memeslots, it
can be reduced by this feature, and also avoid walking guest page table for
soft mmu.

In the unlikely case that L1 does not capture MSR_IA32_TSC, L0 needs to
emulate this MSR write by L2 by modifying vmcs02.tsc_offset. We also need to
set vmcs12.tsc_offset, for this change to survive the next nested entry (see
prepare_vmcs02()).
Additionally, we also need to modify vmx_adjust_tsc_offset: The semantics
of this function is that the TSC of all guests on this vcpu, L1 and possibly
several L2s, need to be adjusted. To do this, we need to adjust vmcs01's
tsc_offset (this offset will also apply to each L2s we enter). We can't set
vmcs01 now, so we have to remember this adjustment and apply it when we
later exit to L1.

KVM's "Lazy FPU loading" means that sometimes L0 needs to set CR0.TS, even
if a guest didn't set it. Moreover, L0 must also trap CR0.TS changes and
NM exceptions, even if we have a guest hypervisor (L1) who didn't want these
traps. And of course, conversely: If L1 wanted to trap these events, we
must let it, even if L0 is not interested in them.

This patch fixes some existing KVM code (in update_exception_bitmap(),
vmx_fpu_activate(), vmx_fpu_deactivate()) to do the correct merging of L0's
and L1's needs. Note that handle_cr() was already fixed in the above patch,
and that new code in introduced in previous patches already handles CR0

When L2 tries to modify CR0 or CR4 (with mov or clts), and modifies a bit
which L1 asked to shadow (via CR[04]_GUEST_HOST_MASK), we already do the right
thing: we let L1 handle the trap (see nested_vmx_exit_handled_cr() in a
previous patch).
When L2 modifies bits that L1 doesn't care about, we let it think (via
CR[04]_READ_SHADOW) that it did these modifications, while only changing
(in GUEST_CR[04]) the bits that L0 doesn't shadow.

This is needed for corect handling of CR0.TS for lazy FPU loading: L0 may
want to leave TS on, while pretending to allow the guest to change it.

This patch adds correct handling of IDT_VECTORING_INFO_FIELD for the nested
case.

When a guest exits while delivering an interrupt or exception, we get this
information in IDT_VECTORING_INFO_FIELD in the VMCS. When L2 exits to L1,
there's nothing we need to do, because L1 will see this field in vmcs12, and
handle it itself. However, when L2 exits and L0 handles the exit itself and
plans to return to L2, L0 must inject this event to L2.

In the normal non-nested case, the idt_vectoring_info case is discovered after
the exit, and the decision to inject (though not the injection itself) is made
at that point. However, in the nested case a decision of whether to return
to L2 or L1 also happens during the injection phase (see the previous
patches), so in the nested case we can only decide what to do about the
idt_vectoring_info right after the injection, i.e., in the beginning of
vmx_vcpu_run, which is the first time we know for sure if we're staying in
L2.

Therefore, when we exit L2 (is_guest_mode(vcpu)), we disable the regular
vmx_complete_interrupts() code which queues the idt_vectoring_info for
injection on next entry - because such injection would not be appropriate
if we will decide to exit to L1. Rather, we just save the idt_vectoring_info
and related fields in vmcs12 (which is a convenient place to save these
fields). On the next entry in vmx_vcpu_run (*after* the injection phase,
potentially exiting to L1 to inject an event requested by user space), if
we find ourselves in L1 we don't need to do anything with those values
we saved (as explained above). But if we find that we're in L2, or rather
*still* at L2 (it's not nested_run_pending, meaning that this is the first
round of L2 running after L1 having just launched it), we need to inject
the event saved in those fields - by writing the appropriate VMCS fields.

The code in this patch correctly emulates external-interrupt injection
while a nested guest L2 is running.

Because of this code's relative un-obviousness, I include here a longer-than-
usual justification for what it does - much longer than the code itself ;-)

To understand how to correctly emulate interrupt injection while L2 is
running, let's look first at what we need to emulate: How would things look
like if the extra L0 hypervisor layer is removed, and instead of L0 injecting
an interrupt, we had hardware delivering an interrupt?

Now we have L1 running on bare metal with a guest L2, and the hardware
generates an interrupt. Assuming that L1 set PIN_BASED_EXT_INTR_MASK to 1, and
VM_EXIT_ACK_INTR_ON_EXIT to 0 (we'll revisit these assumptions below), what
happens now is this: The processor exits from L2 to L1, with an external-
interrupt exit reason but without an interrupt vector. L1 runs, with
interrupts disabled, and it doesn't yet know what the interrupt was. Soon
after, it enables interrupts and only at that moment, it gets the interrupt
from the processor. when L1 is KVM, Linux handles this interrupt.

Now we need exactly the same thing to happen when that L1->L2 system runs
on top of L0, instead of real hardware. This is how we do this:

When L0 wants to inject an interrupt, it needs to exit from L2 to L1, with
external-interrupt exit reason (with an invalid interrupt vector), and run L1.
Just like in the bare metal case, it likely can't deliver the interrupt to
L1 now because L1 is running with interrupts disabled, in which case it turns
on the interrupt window when running L1 after the exit. L1 will soon enable
interrupts, and at that point L0 will gain control again and inject the
interrupt to L1.

Finally, there is an extra complication in the code: when nested_run_pending,
we cannot return to L1 now, and must launch L2. We need to remember the
interrupt we wanted to inject (and not clear it now), and do it on the
next exit.

The above explanation shows that the relative strangeness of the nested
interrupt injection code in this patch, and the extra interrupt-window
exit incurred, are in fact necessary for accurate emulation, and are not
just an unoptimized implementation.

Let's revisit now the two assumptions made above:

If L1 turns off PIN_BASED_EXT_INTR_MASK (no hypervisor that I know
does, by the way), things are simple: L0 may inject the interrupt directly
to the L2 guest - using the normal code path that injects to any guest.
We support this case in the code below.

If L1 turns on VM_EXIT_ACK_INTR_ON_EXIT, things look very different from the
description above: L1 expects to see an exit from L2 with the interrupt vector
already filled in the exit information, and does not expect to be interrupted
again with this interrupt. The current code does not (yet) support this case,
so we do not allow the VM_EXIT_ACK_INTR_ON_EXIT exit-control to be turned on
by L1.

This patch contains the logic of whether an L2 exit should be handled by L0
and then L2 should be resumed, or whether L1 should be run to handle this
exit (using the nested_vmx_vmexit() function of the previous patch).

The basic idea is to let L1 handle the exit only if it actually asked to
trap this sort of event. For example, when L2 exits on a change to CR0,
we check L1's CR0_GUEST_HOST_MASK to see if L1 expressed interest in any
bit which changed; If it did, we exit to L1. But if it didn't it means that
it is we (L0) that wished to trap this event, so we handle it ourselves.

The next two patches add additional logic of what to do when an interrupt or
exception is injected: Does L0 need to do it, should we exit to L1 to do it,
or should we resume L2 and keep the exception to be injected later.

We keep a new flag, "nested_run_pending", which can override the decision of
which should run next, L1 or L2. nested_run_pending=1 means that we *must* run
L2 next, not L1. This is necessary in particular when L1 did a VMLAUNCH of L2
and therefore expects L2 to be run (and perhaps be injected with an event it
specified, etc.). Nested_run_pending is especially intended to avoid switching
to L1 in the injection decision-point described above.

We saw in a previous patch that L1 controls its L2 guest with a vcms12.
L0 needs to create a real VMCS for running L2. We call that "vmcs02".
A later patch will contain the code, prepare_vmcs02(), for filling the vmcs02
fields. This patch only contains code for allocating vmcs02.

In this version, prepare_vmcs02() sets *all* of vmcs02's fields each time we
enter from L1 to L2, so keeping just one vmcs02 for the vcpu is enough: It can
be reused even when L1 runs multiple L2 guests. However, in future versions
we'll probably want to add an optimization where vmcs02 fields that rarely
change will not be set each time. For that, we may want to keep around several
vmcs02s of L2 guests that have recently run, so that potentially we could run
these L2s again more quickly because less vmwrites to vmcs02 will be needed.

This patch adds to each vcpu a vmcs02 pool, vmx->nested.vmcs02_pool,
which remembers the vmcs02s last used to run up to VMCS02_POOL_SIZE L2s.
As explained above, in the current version we choose VMCS02_POOL_SIZE=1,
I.e., one vmcs02 is allocated (and loaded onto the processor), and it is
reused to enter any L2 guest. In the future, when prepare_vmcs02() is
optimized not to set all fields every time, VMCS02_POOL_SIZE should be
increased.
