Sometime, we need to adjust some state in order to reflect guest CPUID
setting, e.g. if we don't expose rdtscp to guest, we won't want to enable
it on hardware. cpuid_update() is introduced for this purpose.

Also export kvm_find_cpuid_entry() for later use.

ept_update_paging_mode_cr4() accesses vcpu->arch.cr4 directly, which usually
needs to be accessed via kvm_read_cr4().  In this case, we can't, since cr4
is in the process of being updated.  Instead of adding inane comments, fold
the function into its caller (vmx_set_cr4), so it can use the not-yet-committed
cr4 directly.
Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

We make no use of cr4.pge if ept is enabled, but the guest does (to flush
global mappings, as with vmap()), so give the guest ownership of this bit.
Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

Instead of specifying the bits which we want to trap on, specify the bits
which we allow the guest to change transparently.  This is safer wrt future
changes to cr4.
Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

Some bits of cr4 can be owned by the guest on vmx, so when we read them,
we copy them to the vcpu structure.  In preparation for making the set of
guest-owned bits dynamic, use helpers to access these bits so we don't need
to know where the bit resides.

No changes to svm since all bits are host-owned there.

We don't support these instructions, but guest can execute them even if the
feature('monitor') haven't been exposed in CPUID. So we would trap and inject
a #UD if guest try this way.

update_transition_efer() masks out some efer bits when deciding whether
to switch the msr during guest entry; for example, NX is emulated using the
mmu so we don't need to disable it, and LMA/LME are handled by the hardware.

However, with shared msrs, the comparison is made against a stale value;
at the time of the guest switch we may be running with another guest's efer.

Fix by deferring the mask/compare to the actual point of guest entry.

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).

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.
