vmcs12 represents the per-CPU cache of L1 active vmcs12. This cache can be loaded by one of the following: 1) Guest making a vmcs12 active by exeucting VMPTRLD 2) Guest specifying eVMCS in VP assist page and executing VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME. Either way, vmcs12 should have revision_id of VMCS12_REVISION. Which is not equal to eVMCS revision_id which specifies used VersionNumber of eVMCS struct (e.g. KVM_EVMCS_VERSION). Specifically, this causes an issue in restoring a nested VM state because vmx_set_nested_state() verifies that vmcs12->revision_id is equal to VMCS12_REVISION which was not true in case vmcs12 was populated from an eVMCS by vmx_get_nested_state() which calls copy_enlightened_to_vmcs12().

According to TLFS section 16.11.2 Enlightened VMCS, the first u32 field of eVMCS should specify eVMCS VersionNumber. This version should be in the range of supported eVMCS versions exposed to guest via CPUID.0x4000000A.EAX[0:15]. The range which KVM expose to guest in this CPUID field should be the same as the value returned in vmcs_version by nested_enable_evmcs(). According to the above, eVMCS VMPTRLD should verify that version specified in given eVMCS is in the supported range. However, current code mistakenly verfies this field against VMCS12_REVISION. One can also see that when KVM use eVMCS, it makes sure that alloc_vmcs_cpu() sets allocated eVMCS revision_id to KVM_EVMCS_VERSION. Obvious fix should just change eVMCS VMPTRLD to verify first u32 field of eVMCS is equal to KVM_EVMCS_VERSION. However, it turns out that Microsoft Hyper-V fails to comply to their own invented interface: When Hyper-V use eVMCS, it just sets first u32 field of eVMCS to revision_id specified in MSR_IA32_VMX_BASIC (In our case: VMCS12_REVISION). Instead of used eVMCS version number which is one of the supported versions specified in CPUID.0x4000000A.EAX[0:15]. To overcome Hyper-V bug, we accept either a supported eVMCS version or VMCS12_REVISION as valid values for first u32 field of eVMCS.

Since commit e79f245d ("X86/KVM: Properly update 'tsc_offset' to represent the running guest"), vcpu->arch.tsc_offset meaning was changed to always reflect the tsc_offset value set on active VMCS. Regardless if vCPU is currently running L1 or L2. However, above mentioned commit failed to also change kvm_vcpu_write_tsc_offset() to set vcpu->arch.tsc_offset correctly. This is because vmx_write_tsc_offset() could set the tsc_offset value in active VMCS to given offset parameter *plus vmcs12->tsc_offset*. However, kvm_vcpu_write_tsc_offset() just sets vcpu->arch.tsc_offset to given offset parameter. Without taking into account the possible addition of vmcs12->tsc_offset. (Same is true for SVM case). Fix this issue by changing kvm_x86_ops->write_tsc_offset() to return actually set tsc_offset in active VMCS and modify kvm_vcpu_write_tsc_offset() to set returned value in vcpu->arch.tsc_offset. In addition, rename write_tsc_offset() callback to write_l1_tsc_offset() to make it clear that it is meant to set L1 TSC offset.

When guest transitions from/to long-mode by modifying MSR_EFER.LMA, the list of shared MSRs to be saved/restored on guest<->host transitions is updated (See vmx_set_efer() call to setup_msrs()). On every entry to guest, vcpu_enter_guest() calls vmx_prepare_switch_to_guest(). This function should also take care of setting the shared MSRs to be saved/restored. However, the function does nothing in case we are already running with loaded guest state (vmx->loaded_cpu_state != NULL). This means that even when guest modifies MSR_EFER.LMA which results in updating the list of shared MSRs, it isn't being taken into account by vmx_prepare_switch_to_guest() because it happens while we are running with loaded guest state. To fix above mentioned issue, add a flag to mark that the list of shared MSRs has been updated and modify vmx_prepare_switch_to_guest() to set shared MSRs when running with host state *OR* list of shared MSRs has been updated. Note that this issue was mistakenly introduced by commit 678e315e ("KVM: vmx: add dedicated utility to access guest's kernel_gs_base") because previously vmx_set_efer() always called vmx_load_host_state() which resulted in vmx_prepare_switch_to_guest() to set shared MSRs.

Consider the case that userspace enables KVM_CAP_HYPERV_ENLIGHTENED_VMCS twice: 1) kvm_vcpu_ioctl_enable_cap() is called to enable KVM_CAP_HYPERV_ENLIGHTENED_VMCS which calls nested_enable_evmcs(). 2) nested_enable_evmcs() sets enlightened_vmcs_enabled to true and fills vmcs_version which is then copied to userspace. 3) kvm_vcpu_ioctl_enable_cap() is called again to enable KVM_CAP_HYPERV_ENLIGHTENED_VMCS which calls nested_enable_evmcs(). 4) This time nested_enable_evmcs() just returns 0 as enlightened_vmcs_enabled is already true. *Without filling vmcs_version*. 5) kvm_vcpu_ioctl_enable_cap() continues as usual and copies *uninitialized* vmcs_version to userspace which leads to kernel info-leak. Fix this issue by simply changing nested_enable_evmcs() to always fill vmcs_version output argument. Even when enlightened_vmcs_enabled is already set to true. Note that SVM's nested_enable_evmcs() should not be modified because it always returns a non-zero value (-ENODEV) which results in kvm_vcpu_ioctl_enable_cap() skipping the copy of vmcs_version to userspace (as it should).

With live migration support and finally a good solution for exception event injection, nested VMX should be ready for having a stable userspace ABI. The results of syzkaller fuzzing are not perfect but not horrible either (and might be partially due to running on GCE, so that effectively we're testing three-level nesting on a fork of upstream KVM!). Enabling it by default seems like a nice way to conclude the 4.20 pull request. :) Unfortunately, enabling nested SVM in 2009 (commit 4b6e4dca) was a bit premature. However, until live migration support is in place we can reasonably expect that it does not offer much in terms of ABI guarantees. Therefore we are still in time to break things and conform as much as possible to the interface used for VMX.

When exception payloads are enabled by userspace (which is not yet possible) and a #DB is raised in L2, defer the setting of DR6 until later. Under VMX, this allows the L1 hypervisor to intercept the fault before DR6 is modified. Under SVM, DR6 is modified before L1 can intercept the fault (as has always been the case with DR7). Note that the payload associated with a #DB exception includes only the "new DR6 bits." When the payload is delievered, DR6.B0-B3 will be cleared and DR6.RTM will be set prior to merging in the new DR6 bits. Also note that bit 16 in the "new DR6 bits" is set to indicate that a debug exception (#DB) or a breakpoint exception (#BP) occurred inside an RTM region while advanced debugging of RTM transactional regions was enabled. Though the reverse of DR6.RTM, this makes the #DB payload field compatible with both the pending debug exceptions field under VMX and the exit qualification for #DB exceptions under VMX.

When Enlightened VMCS is in use by L1 hypervisor we can avoid vmwriting VMCS fields which did not change. Our first goal is to achieve minimal impact on traditional VMCS case so we're not wrapping each vmwrite() with an if-changed checker. We also can't utilize static keys as Enlightened VMCS usage is per-guest. This patch implements the simpliest solution: checking fields in groups. We skip single vmwrite() statements as doing the check will cost us something even in non-evmcs case and the win is tiny. Unfortunately, this makes prepare_vmcs02_full{,_full}() code Enlightened VMCS-dependent (and a bit ugly).

Per Hyper-V TLFS 5.0b: "The L1 hypervisor may choose to use enlightened VMCSs by writing 1 to the corresponding field in the VP assist page (see section 7.8.7). Another field in the VP assist page controls the currently active enlightened VMCS. Each enlightened VMCS is exactly one page (4 KB) in size and must be initially zeroed. No VMPTRLD instruction must be executed to make an enlightened VMCS active or current. After the L1 hypervisor performs a VM entry with an enlightened VMCS, the VMCS is considered active on the processor. An enlightened VMCS can only be active on a single processor at the same time. The L1 hypervisor can execute a VMCLEAR instruction to transition an enlightened VMCS from the active to the non-active state. Any VMREAD or VMWRITE instructions while an enlightened VMCS is active is unsupported and can result in unexpected behavior."

KVM defers many VMX consistency checks to the CPU, ostensibly for performance reasons[1], including checks that result in VMFail (as opposed to VMExit). This behavior may be undesirable for some users since this means KVM detects certain classes of VMFail only after it has processed guest state, e.g. emulated MSR load-on-entry. Because there is a strict ordering between checks that cause VMFail and those that cause VMExit, i.e. all VMFail checks are performed before any checks that cause VMExit, we can detect (almost) all VMFail conditions via a dry run of sorts. The almost qualifier exists because some state in vmcs02 comes from L0, e.g. VPID, which means that hardware will never detect an invalid VPID in vmcs12 because it never sees said value. Software must (continue to) explicitly check such fields. After preparing vmcs02 with all state needed to pass the VMFail consistency checks, optionally do a "test" VMEnter with an invalid GUEST_RFLAGS. If the VMEnter results in a VMExit (due to bad guest state), then we can safely say that the nested VMEnter should not VMFail, i.e. any VMFail encountered in nested_vmx_vmexit() must be due to an L0 bug. GUEST_RFLAGS is used to induce VMExit as it is unconditionally loaded on all implementations of VMX, has an invalid value that is writable on a 32-bit system and its consistency check is performed relatively early in all implementations (the exact order of consistency checks is micro-architectural). Unfortunately, since the "passing" case causes a VMExit, KVM must be extra diligent to ensure that host state is restored, e.g. DR7 and RFLAGS are reset on VMExit. Failure to restore RFLAGS.IF is particularly fatal. And of course the extra VMEnter and VMExit impacts performance. The raw overhead of the early consistency checks is ~6% on modern hardware (though this could easily vary based on configuration), while the added latency observed from the L1 VMM is ~10%. The early consistency checks do not occur in a vacuum, e.g. spending more time in L0 can lead to more interrupts being serviced while emulating VMEnter, thereby increasing the latency observed by L1. Add a module param, early_consistency_checks, to provide control over whether or not VMX performs the early consistency checks. In addition to standard on/off behavior, the param accepts a value of -1, which is essentialy an "auto" setting whereby KVM does the early checks only when it thinks it's running on bare metal. When running nested, doing early checks is of dubious value since the resulting behavior is heavily dependent on L0. In the future, the "auto" setting could also be used to default to skipping the early hardware checks for certain configurations/platforms if KVM reaches a state where it has 100% coverage of VMFail conditions. [1] To my knowledge no one has implemented and tested full software emulation of the VMFail consistency checks. Until that happens, one can only speculate about the actual performance overhead of doing all VMFail consistency checks in software. Obviously any code is slower than no code, but in the grand scheme of nested virtualization it's entirely possible the overhead is negligible.

EFLAGS is set to a fixed value on VMExit, calling nested_vmx_succeed() is unnecessary and wrong. Signed-off-by: NSean Christopherson <sean.j.christopherson@intel.com> Reviewed-by: NJim Mattson <jmattson@google.com> Signed-off-by: NPaolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

A successful VMEnter is essentially a fancy indirect branch that pulls the target RIP from the VMCS. Skipping the instruction is unnecessary (RIP will get overwritten by the VMExit handler) and is problematic because it can incorrectly suppress a #DB due to EFLAGS.TF when a VMFail is detected by hardware (happens after we skip the instruction). Now that vmx_nested_run() is not prematurely skipping the instr, use the full kvm_skip_emulated_instruction() in the VMFail path of nested_vmx_vmexit(). We also need to explicitly update the GUEST_INTERRUPTIBILITY_INFO when loading vmcs12 host state.

In anticipation of using vmcs02 to do early consistency checks, move the early preparation of vmcs02 prior to checking the postreqs. The downside of this approach is that we'll unnecessary load vmcs02 in the case that check_vmentry_postreqs() fails, but that is essentially our slow path anyways (not actually slow, but it's the path we don't really care about optimizing).

Add a dedicated flag to track if vmcs02 has been initialized, i.e. the constant state for vmcs02 has been written to the backing VMCS. The launched flag (in struct loaded_vmcs) gets cleared on logical CPU migration to mirror hardware behavior[1], i.e. using the launched flag to determine whether or not vmcs02 constant state needs to be initialized results in unnecessarily re-initializing the VMCS when migrating between logical CPUS. [1] The active VMCS needs to be VMCLEARed before it can be migrated to a different logical CPU. Hardware's VMCS cache is per-CPU and is not coherent between CPUs. VMCLEAR flushes the cache so that any dirty data is written back to memory. A side effect of VMCLEAR is that it also clears the VMCS's internal launch flag, which KVM must mirror because VMRESUME must be used to run a previously launched VMCS.

Add prepare_vmcs02_early() and move pieces of prepare_vmcs02() to the new function. prepare_vmcs02_early() writes the bits of vmcs02 that a) must be in place to pass the VMFail consistency checks (assuming vmcs12 is valid) and b) are needed recover from a VMExit, e.g. host state that is loaded on VMExit. Splitting the functionality will enable KVM to leverage hardware to do VMFail consistency checks via a dry run of VMEnter and recover from a potential VMExit without having to fully initialize vmcs02. Add prepare_vmcs02_constant_state() to handle writing vmcs02 state that comes from vmcs01 and never changes, i.e. we don't need to rewrite any of the vmcs02 that is effectively constant once defined.

vmx->pml_pg is allocated by vmx_create_vcpu() and is only nullified when the vCPU is destroyed by vmx_free_vcpu(). Remove the ASSERTs on vmx->pml_pg, there is no need to carry debug code that provides no value to the current code base.

Rename 'fail' to 'vmentry_fail_vmexit_guest_mode' to make it more obvious that it's simply a different entry point to the VMExit path, whose purpose is unwind the updates done prior to calling prepare_vmcs02().
