Intel-SIG: commit 2f4073e0 ("KVM: VMX: Enable Notify VM exit")

-------------------------------------

KVM: VMX: Enable Notify VM exit

There are cases that malicious virtual machines can cause CPU stuck (due
to event windows don't open up), e.g., infinite loop in microcode when
nested #AC (CVE-2015-5307). No event window means no event (NMI, SMI and
IRQ) can be delivered. It leads the CPU to be unavailable to host or
other VMs.

VMM can enable notify VM exit that a VM exit generated if no event
window occurs in VM non-root mode for a specified amount of time (notify
window).

Feature enabling:
- The new vmcs field SECONDARY_EXEC_NOTIFY_VM_EXITING is introduced to
  enable this feature. VMM can set NOTIFY_WINDOW vmcs field to adjust
  the expected notify window.
- Add a new KVM capability KVM_CAP_X86_NOTIFY_VMEXIT so that user space
  can query and enable this feature in per-VM scope. The argument is a
  64bit value: bits 63:32 are used for notify window, and bits 31:0 are
  for flags. Current supported flags:
  - KVM_X86_NOTIFY_VMEXIT_ENABLED: enable the feature with the notify
    window provided.
  - KVM_X86_NOTIFY_VMEXIT_USER: exit to userspace once the exits happen.
- It's safe to even set notify window to zero since an internal hardware
  threshold is added to vmcs.notify_window.

VM exit handling:
- Introduce a vcpu state notify_window_exits to records the count of
  notify VM exits and expose it through the debugfs.
- Notify VM exit can happen incident to delivery of a vector event.
  Allow it in KVM.
- Exit to userspace unconditionally for handling when VM_CONTEXT_INVALID
  bit is set.

Nested handling
- Nested notify VM exits are not supported yet. Keep the same notify
  window control in vmcs02 as vmcs01, so that L1 can't escape the
  restriction of notify VM exits through launching L2 VM.

Notify VM exit is defined in latest Intel Architecture Instruction Set
Extensions Programming Reference, chapter 9.2.
