The host's decision to enable machine check exceptions should remain
in force during non-root mode. KVM was writing 0 to cr4 on VCPU reset
and passed a slightly-modified 0 to the vmcs.guest_cr4 value.
Tested: Built.
On earlier version, tested by injecting machine check
while a guest is spinning.
Before the change, if guest CR4.MCE==0, then the machine check is
escalated to Catastrophic Error (CATERR) and the machine dies.
If guest CR4.MCE==1, then the machine check causes VMEXIT and is
handled normally by host Linux. After the change, injecting a machine
check causes normal Linux machine check handling.

"This series tightens up RDPMC permissions: currently even highly
sandboxed x86 execution environments (such as seccomp) have permission
to execute RDPMC, which may leak various perf events / PMU state such
as timing information and other CPU execution details.
This 'all is allowed' RDPMC mode is still preserved as the
(non-default) /sys/devices/cpu/rdpmc=2 setting. The new default is
that RDPMC access is only allowed if a perf event is mmap-ed (which is
needed to correctly interpret RDPMC counter values in any case).
As a side effect of these changes CR4 handling is cleaned up in the
x86 code and a shadow copy of the CR4 value is added.

Context switches and TLB flushes can change individual bits of CR4.
CR4 reads take several cycles, so store a shadow copy of CR4 in a
per-cpu variable.
To avoid wasting a cache line, I added the CR4 shadow to
cpu_tlbstate, which is already touched in switch_mm. The heaviest
users of the cr4 shadow will be switch_mm and __switch_to_xtra, and
__switch_to_xtra is called shortly after switch_mm during context
switch, so the cacheline is likely to be hot.

CR4 manipulation was split, seemingly at random, between direct
(write_cr4) and using a helper (set/clear_in_cr4). Unfortunately,
the set_in_cr4 and clear_in_cr4 helpers also poke at the boot code,
which only a small subset of users actually wanted.
This patch replaces all cr4 access in functions that don't leave cr4

If vcpu has a interrupt in vmx non-root mode, injecting that interrupt
requires a vmexit. With posted interrupt processing, the vmexit
is not needed, and interrupts are fully taken care of by hardware.
In nested vmx, this feature avoids much more vmexits than non-nested vmx.
When L1 asks L0 to deliver L1's posted interrupt vector, and the target
VCPU is in non-root mode, we use a physical ipi to deliver POSTED_INTR_NV
to the target vCPU. Using POSTED_INTR_NV avoids unexpected interrupts
if a concurrent vmexit happens and L1's vector is different with L0's.
The IPI triggers posted interrupt processing in the target physical CPU.
In case the target vCPU was not in guest mode, complete the posted
interrupt delivery on the next entry to L2.

With virtual interrupt delivery, the hardware lets KVM use a more

To enable nested apicv support, we need per-cpu vmx
control MSRs:
1. If in-kernel irqchip is enabled, we can enable nested

the nested_vmx_pinbased_ctls_high.
2. If in-kernel irqchip is disabled, we can not enable
nested posted interrupt, the posted intr bit
in the nested_vmx_pinbased_ctls_high will be cleared.
Since there would be different settings about in-kernel
irqchip between VMs, different nested control MSRs

Currently, if L1 enables MSR_BITMAP, we will emulate this feature, all
of L2's msr access is intercepted by L0. Features like "virtualize
x2apic mode" require that the MSR bitmap is enabled, or the hardware
will exit and for example not virtualize the x2apic MSRs. In order to
let L1 use these features, we need to build a merged bitmap that only
not cause a VMEXIT if 1) L1 requires that 2) the bit is not required by
the processor for APIC virtualization.
For now the guests are still run with MSR bitmap disabled, but this
patch already introduces nested_vmx_merge_msr_bitmap for future use.

[The results were reproducible on all of Nehalem, Sandy Bridge and
Ivy Bridge. The slowness of manual switching is because writing
to EFER with WRMSR triggers a TLB flush, even if the only bit you're
touching is SCE (so the page table format is not affected). Doing
the write as part of vmentry/vmexit, instead, does not flush the TLB,
probably because all processors that have EPT also have VPID. - Paolo]

x86 debug registers hold a linear address. Therefore, breakpoints detection
should consider CS.base, and check whether instruction linear address equals
(CS.base + RIP). This patch introduces a function to evaluate RIP linear
address and uses it for breakpoints detection.

DR6[0:3] (previous breakpoint indications) are cleared when #DB is injected
during handle_exception, just as real hardware does. Similarily, handle_dr
should clear DR6[0:3].

A bug was reported as follows: when running Windows 7 32-bit guests on qemu-kvm,
sometimes the guests run into blue screen during reboot. The problem was that a
guest's RVI was not cleared when it rebooted. This patch has fixed the problem.

Return a negative error code instead, and WARN() when we should be covering
the entire 2-bit space of vmcs_field_type's return value. For increased
robustness, add a BUILD_BUG_ON checking the range of vmcs_field_to_offset.

Instead of vmx_init(), actually it would make reasonable sense to do
anything specific to vmx hardware setting in vmx_x86_ops->hardware_setup().
