In case L1 do not intercept L2 HLT or enter L2 in HLT activity-state,
it is possible for a vCPU to be blocked while it is in guest-mode.
According to Intel SDM 26.6.5 Interrupt-Window Exiting and
Virtual-Interrupt Delivery: "These events wake the logical processor
if it just entered the HLT state because of a VM entry".
Therefore, if L1 enters L2 in HLT activity-state and L2 has a pending
deliverable interrupt in vmcs12->guest_intr_status.RVI, then the vCPU
should be waken from the HLT state and injected with the interrupt.
In addition, if while the vCPU is blocked (while it is in guest-mode),
it receives a nested posted-interrupt, then the vCPU should also be
waken and injected with the posted interrupt.
To handle these cases, this patch enhances kvm_vcpu_has_events() to also
check if there is a pending interrupt in L2 virtual APICv provided by
L1. That is, it evaluates if there is a pending virtual interrupt for L2
by checking RVI[7:4] > VPPR[7:4] as specified in Intel SDM 29.2.1
Evaluation of Pending Interrupts.
Note that this also handles the case of nested posted-interrupt by the
fact RVI is updated in vmx_complete_nested_posted_interrupt() which is
called from kvm_vcpu_check_block() -> kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable() ->
kvm_vcpu_running() -> vmx_check_nested_events() ->
vmx_complete_nested_posted_interrupt().

A VMX preemption timer value of '0' is guaranteed to cause a VMExit
prior to the CPU executing any instructions in the guest. Use the
preemption timer (if it's supported) to trigger immediate VMExit
in place of the current method of sending a self-IPI. This ensures
that pending VMExit injection to L1 occurs prior to executing any
instructions in the guest (regardless of nesting level).
When deferring VMExit injection, KVM generates an immediate VMExit
from the (possibly nested) guest by sending itself an IPI. Because
hardware interrupts are blocked prior to VMEnter and are unblocked
(in hardware) after VMEnter, this results in taking a VMExit(INTR)
before any guest instruction is executed. But, as this approach
relies on the IPI being received before VMEnter executes, it only
works as intended when KVM is running as L0. Because there are no
architectural guarantees regarding when IPIs are delivered, when
running nested the INTR may "arrive" long after L2 is running e.g.
L0 KVM doesn't force an immediate switch to L1 to deliver an INTR.
For the most part, this unintended delay is not an issue since the
events being injected to L1 also do not have architectural guarantees
regarding their timing. The notable exception is the VMX preemption
timer[1], which is architecturally guaranteed to cause a VMExit prior
to executing any instructions in the guest if the timer value is '0'
at VMEnter. Specifically, the delay in injecting the VMExit causes
the preemption timer KVM unit test to fail when run in a nested guest.
Note: this approach is viable even on CPUs with a broken preemption
timer, as broken in this context only means the timer counts at the
wrong rate. There are no known errata affecting timer value of '0'.
[1] I/O SMIs also have guarantees on when they arrive, but I have
no idea if/how those are emulated in KVM.

A VMX preemption timer value of '0' at the time of VMEnter is
architecturally guaranteed to cause a VMExit prior to the CPU
executing any instructions in the guest. This architectural
definition is in place to ensure that a previously expired timer
is correctly recognized by the CPU as it is possible for the timer
to reach zero and not trigger a VMexit due to a higher priority
VMExit being signalled instead, e.g. a pending #DB that morphs into
a VMExit.
Whether by design or coincidence, commit f4124500c2 ("KVM: nVMX:
Fully emulate preemption timer") special cased timer values of '0'
and '1' to ensure prompt delivery of the VMExit. Unlike '0', a
timer value of '1' has no has no architectural guarantees regarding
when it is delivered.
Modify the timer emulation to trigger immediate VMExit if and only
if the timer value is '0', and document precisely why '0' is special.
Do this even if calibration of the virtual TSC failed, i.e. VMExit
will occur immediately regardless of the frequency of the timer.
Making only '0' a special case gives KVM leeway to be more aggressive
in ensuring the VMExit is injected prior to executing instructions in
the nested guest, and also eliminates any ambiguity as to why '1' is
a special case, e.g. why wasn't the threshold for a "short timeout"
set to 10, 100, 1000, etc...

Consider the case L1 had a IRQ/NMI event until it executed
VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME which wasn't delivered because it was disallowed
(e.g. interrupts disabled). When L1 executes VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME,
L0 needs to evaluate if this pending event should cause an exit from
L2 to L1 or delivered directly to L2 (e.g. In case L1 don't intercept
EXTERNAL_INTERRUPT).
Usually this would be handled by L0 requesting a IRQ/NMI window
by setting VMCS accordingly. However, this setting was done on
VMCS01 and now VMCS02 is active instead. Thus, when L1 executes
VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME we force L0 to perform pending event evaluation by
requesting a KVM_REQ_EVENT.
Note that above scenario exists when L1 KVM is about to enter L2 but
requests an "immediate-exit". As in this case, L1 will
disable-interrupts and then send a self-IPI before entering L2.

And because the cr2 value passed to x86_emulate_instruction() is only

Virtualization of Intel SGX depends on Enclave Page Cache (EPC)
management that is not yet available in the kernel, i.e. KVM support
for exposing SGX to a guest cannot be added until basic support
for SGX is upstreamed, which is a WIP[1].
Until SGX is properly supported in KVM, ensure a guest sees expected
behavior for ENCLS, i.e. all ENCLS #UD. Because SGX does not have a
true software enable bit, e.g. there is no CR4.SGXE bit, the ENCLS
instruction can be executed[1] by the guest if SGX is supported by the
system. Intercept all ENCLS leafs (via the ENCLS- exiting control and
field) and unconditionally inject #UD.
[1] https://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg171333.html or
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/7/3/879
[2] A guest can execute ENCLS in the sense that ENCLS will not take
an immediate #UD, but no ENCLS will ever succeed in a guest
without explicit support from KVM (map EPC memory into the guest),
unless KVM has a *very* egregious bug, e.g. accidentally mapped
EPC memory into the guest SPTEs. In other words this patch is
needed only to prevent the guest from seeing inconsistent behavior,
e.g. #GP (SGX not enabled in Feature Control MSR) or #PF (leaf
operand(s) does not point at EPC memory) instead of #UD on ENCLS.
Intercepting ENCLS is not required to prevent the guest from truly
utilizing SGX.

Also, there is a backmerge from 4.18-rc6. This is because of a

Merge L1 Terminal Fault fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"L1TF, aka L1 Terminal Fault, is yet another speculative hardware
engineering trainwreck. It's a hardware vulnerability which allows
unprivileged speculative access to data which is available in the
Level 1 Data Cache when the page table entry controlling the virtual
address, which is used for the access, has the Present bit cleared or
other reserved bits set.
If an instruction accesses a virtual address for which the relevant
page table entry (PTE) has the Present bit cleared or other reserved
bits set, then speculative execution ignores the invalid PTE and loads
the referenced data if it is present in the Level 1 Data Cache, as if
the page referenced by the address bits in the PTE was still present
and accessible.
While this is a purely speculative mechanism and the instruction will
raise a page fault when it is retired eventually, the pure act of
loading the data and making it available to other speculative
instructions opens up the opportunity for side channel attacks to
unprivileged malicious code, similar to the Meltdown attack.
While Meltdown breaks the user space to kernel space protection, L1TF
allows to attack any physical memory address in the system and the
attack works across all protection domains. It allows an attack of SGX
and also works from inside virtual machines because the speculation
bypasses the extended page table (EPT) protection mechanism.
The assoicated CVEs are: CVE-2018-3615, CVE-2018-3620, CVE-2018-3646
The mitigations provided by this pull request include:
- Host side protection by inverting the upper address bits of a non
present page table entry so the entry points to uncacheable memory.
- Hypervisor protection by flushing L1 Data Cache on VMENTER.
- SMT (HyperThreading) control knobs, which allow to 'turn off' SMT
by offlining the sibling CPU threads. The knobs are available on
the kernel command line and at runtime via sysfs
- Control knobs for the hypervisor mitigation, related to L1D flush
and SMT control. The knobs are available on the kernel command line
and at runtime via sysfs
- Extensive documentation about L1TF including various degrees of
mitigations.
Thanks to all people who have contributed to this in various ways -
patches, review, testing, backporting - and the fruitful, sometimes
heated, but at the end constructive discussions.
There is work in progress to provide other forms of mitigations, which
might be less horrible performance wise for a particular kind of
workloads, but this is not yet ready for consumption due to their
complexity and limitations"

When lazy save/restore of MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE was introduced[1], the
MSR was intercepted in all modes and was only restored for the host
when the guest is in 64-bit mode. So at the time, going through the
full host restore prior to accessing MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE was necessary
to load host state and was not a significant waste of cycles.
Later, MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE interception was disabled for a 64-bit
guest[2], and then unconditionally saved/restored for the host[3].
As a result, loading full host state is overkill for accesses to
MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE, and completely unnecessary when the guest is
not in 64-bit mode.
Add a dedicated utility to read/write the guest's MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE
(outside of the save/restore flow) to minimize the overhead incurred
when accessing the MSR. When setting EFER, only decache the MSR if
the new EFER will disable long mode.
Removing out-of-band usage of vmx_load_host_state() also eliminates,
or at least reduces, potential corner cases in its usage, which in
turn will (hopefuly) make it easier to reason about future changes
to the save/restore flow, e.g. optimization of saving host state.

Using 'struct loaded_vmcs*' to track whether the CPU registers
contain host or guest state kills two birds with one stone.
1. The (effective) boolean host_state.loaded is poorly named.
It does not track whether or not host state is loaded into
the CPU registers (which most readers would expect), but
rather tracks if host state has been saved AND guest state
is loaded.
2. Using a loaded_vmcs pointer provides a more robust framework
for the optimized guest/host state switching, especially when
consideration per-VMCS enhancements. To that end, WARN_ONCE

was last used to save host state.
Resolve an occurrence of the new WARN by setting loaded_vmcs after
the call to vmx_vcpu_put() in vmx_switch_vmcs().

Use local variables in vmx_save_host_state() to temporarily track
the selector and base values for FS and GS, and reorganize the
code so that the 64-bit vs 32-bit portions are contained within
a single #ifdef. This refactoring paves the way for future patches
to modify the updating of VMCS state with minimal changes to the
code, and (hopefully) simplifies resolving a likely conflict with
another in-flight patch[1] by being the whipping boy for future
patches.

Register tlb_remote_flush callback for vmx when hyperv capability of
nested guest mapping flush is detected. The interface can help to
reduce overhead when flush ept table among vcpus for nested VM. The
tradition way is to send IPIs to all affected vcpus and executes
INVEPT on each vcpus. It will trigger several vmexits for IPI
and INVEPT emulation. Hyper-V provides such hypercall to do
flush for all vcpus and call the hypercall when all ept table
pointers of single VM are same.

Adds support for storing multiple previous CR3/root_hpa pairs maintained
as an LRU cache, so that the lockless CR3 switch path can be used when
switching back to any of them.

entries for the specific guest virtual address, instead of flushing all
TLB entries associated with the VM.

When the guest indicates that the TLB doesn't need to be flushed in a
CR3 switch, we can also skip resyncing the shadow page tables since an
out-of-sync shadow page table is equivalent to an out-of-sync TLB.

When PCIDs are enabled, the MSb of the source operand for a MOV-to-CR3
instruction indicates that the TLB doesn't need to be flushed.
This change enables this optimization for MOV-to-CR3s in the guest
that have been intercepted by KVM for shadow paging and are handled
within the fast CR3 switch path.

Use the fast CR3 switch mechanism to locklessly change the MMU root
page when switching between L1 and L2. The switch from L2 to L1 should
always go through the fast path, while the switch from L1 to L2 should
go through the fast path if L1's CR3/EPTP for L2 hasn't changed
since the last time.

The shadow vmcs12 cannot be flushed on KVM_GET_NESTED_STATE,
because at that point guest memory is assumed by userspace to
be immutable. Capture the cache in vmx_get_nested_state, adding
another page at the end if there is an active shadow vmcs12.

Intel SDM considers these checks to be part of
"Checks on Guest Non-Register State".
Note that it is legal for vmcs->vmcs_link_pointer to be -1ull
when VMCS shadowing is enabled. In this case, any VMREAD/VMWRITE to
shadowed-field sets the ALU flags for VMfailInvalid (i.e. CF=1).
