The function kvm_create_lapic() attempts to allocate the apic structure
and sets a pointer to it in the virtual processor structure. However, if
get_zeroed_page() failed, the function frees the apic chunk, but forgets
to set the pointer in the vcpu to NULL. It's not a security issue since
there isn't a use of that pointer if kvm_create_lapic() returns error,
but it's more accurate that way.

The VMX_PREEMPTION_TIMER flag may be toggled frequently, though not
*very* frequently. Since it does not affect KVM's dirty logic, e.g.
the preemption timer value is loaded from vmcs12 even if vmcs12 is
"clean", there is no need to mark vmcs12 dirty when L1 writes pin
controls, and shadowing the field achieves that.

VMWRITEs to the major VMCS controls, pin controls included, are
deceptively expensive. CPUs with VMCS caching (Westmere and later) also
optimize away consistency checks on VM-Entry, i.e. skip consistency
checks if the relevant fields have not changed since the last successful
VM-Entry (of the cached VMCS). Because uops are a precious commodity,
uCode's dirty VMCS field tracking isn't as precise as software would
prefer. Notably, writing any of the major VMCS fields effectively marks
the entire VMCS dirty, i.e. causes the next VM-Entry to perform all
consistency checks, which consumes several hundred cycles.
As it pertains to KVM, toggling PIN_BASED_VMX_PREEMPTION_TIMER more than
doubles the latency of the next VM-Entry (and again when/if the flag is
toggled back). In a non-nested scenario, running a "standard" guest
with the preemption timer enabled, toggling the timer flag is uncommon
but not rare, e.g. roughly 1 in 10 entries. Disabling the preemption
timer can change these numbers due to its use for "immediate exits",
even when explicitly disabled by userspace.
Nested virtualization in particular is painful, as the timer flag is set
for the majority of VM-Enters, but prepare_vmcs02() initializes vmcs02's
pin controls to *clear* the flag since its the timer's final state isn't
known until vmx_vcpu_run(). I.e. the majority of nested VM-Enters end
up unnecessarily writing pin controls *twice*.
Rather than toggle the timer flag in pin controls, set the timer value
itself to the largest allowed value to put it into a "soft disabled"
state, and ignore any spurious preemption timer exits.
Sadly, the timer is a 32-bit value and so theoretically it can fire
before the head death of the universe, i.e. spurious exits are possible.
But because KVM does *not* save the timer value on VM-Exit and because
the timer runs at a slower rate than the TSC, the maximuma timer value
is still sufficiently large for KVM's purposes. E.g. on a modern CPU
with a timer that runs at 1/32 the frequency of a 2.4ghz constant-rate
TSC, the timer will fire after ~55 seconds of *uninterrupted* guest
execution. In other words, spurious VM-Exits are effectively only
possible if the host is completely tickless on the logical CPU, the
guest is not using the preemption timer, and the guest is not generating
VM-Exits for any other reason.
To be safe from bad/weird hardware, disable the preemption timer if its
maximum delay is less than ten seconds. Ten seconds is mostly arbitrary
and was selected in no small part because it's a nice round number.
For simplicity and paranoia, fall back to __kvm_request_immediate_exit()
if the preemption timer is disabled by KVM or userspace. Previously
KVM continued to use the preemption timer to force immediate exits even
when the timer was disabled by userspace. Now that KVM leaves the timer
running instead of truly disabling it, allow userspace to kill it
entirely in the unlikely event the timer (or KVM) malfunctions.

Per Intel's SDM:
... the logical processor uses PAE paging if CR0.PG=1, CR4.PAE=1 and
IA32_EFER.LME=0. A VM entry to a guest that uses PAE paging loads the
PDPTEs into internal, non-architectural registers based on the setting
of the "enable EPT" VM-execution control.
and:
[GUEST_PDPTR] values are saved into the four PDPTE fields as follows:
- If the "enable EPT" VM-execution control is 0 or the logical
processor was not using PAE paging at the time of the VM exit,
the values saved are undefined.
In other words, if EPT is disabled or the guest isn't using PAE paging,
then the PDPTRS aren't consumed by hardware on VM-Entry and are loaded
with junk on VM-Exit. From a nesting perspective, all of the above hold
true, i.e. KVM can effectively ignore the VMCS PDPTRs. E.g. KVM already
loads the PDPTRs from memory when nested EPT is disabled (see
nested_vmx_load_cr3()).
Because KVM intercepts setting CR4.PAE, there is no danger of consuming
a stale value or crushing L1's VMWRITEs regardless of whether L1
intercepts CR4.PAE. The vmcs12's values are unchanged up until the
VM-Exit where L2 sets CR4.PAE, i.e. L0 will see the new PAE state on the
subsequent VM-Entry and propagate the PDPTRs from vmcs12 to vmcs02.

Many guest fields are rarely read (or written) by VMMs, i.e. likely
aren't accessed between runs of a nested VMCS. Delay pulling rarely
accessed guest fields from vmcs02 until they are VMREAD or until vmcs12
is dirtied. The latter case is necessary because nested VM-Entry will
consume all manner of fields when vmcs12 is dirty, e.g. for consistency
checks.
Note, an alternative to synchronizing all guest fields on VMREAD would
be to read *only* the field being accessed, but switching VMCS pointers
is expensive and odds are good if one guest field is being accessed then
others will soon follow, or that vmcs12 will be dirtied due to a VMWRITE
(see above). And the full synchronization results in slightly cleaner
code.
Note, although GUEST_PDPTRs are relevant only for a 32-bit PAE guest,
they are accessed quite frequently for said guests, and a separate patch

VMMs frequently read the guest's CS and SS AR bytes to detect 64-bit
mode and CPL respectively, but effectively never write said fields once
the VM is initialized. Intercepting VMWRITEs for the two fields saves
~55 cycles in copy_shadow_to_vmcs12().
Because some Intel CPUs, e.g. Haswell, drop the reserved bits of the
guest access rights fields on VMWRITE, exposing the fields to L1 for
VMREAD but not VMWRITE leads to inconsistent behavior between L1 and L2.
On hardware that drops the bits, L1 will see the stripped down value due
to reading the value from hardware, while L2 will see the full original
value as stored by KVM. To avoid such an inconsistency, emulate the
behavior on all CPUS, but only for intercepted VMWRITEs so as to avoid
introducing pointless latency into copy_shadow_to_vmcs12(), e.g. if the
emulation were added to vmcs12_write_any().
Since the AR_BYTES emulation is done only for intercepted VMWRITE, if a
future patch (re)exposed AR_BYTES for both VMWRITE and VMREAD, then KVM
would end up with incosistent behavior on pre-Haswell hardware, e.g. KVM
would drop the reserved bits on intercepted VMWRITE, but direct VMWRITE
to the shadow VMCS would not drop the bits. Add a WARN in the shadow
field initialization to detect any attempt to expose an AR_BYTES field
without updating vmcs12_write_any().
Note, emulation of the AR_BYTES reserved bit behavior is based on a
patch[1] from Jim Mattson that applied the emulation to all writes to
vmcs12 so that live migration across different generations of hardware
would not introduce divergent behavior. But given that live migration
of nested state has already been enabled, that ship has sailed (not to
mention that no sane VMM will be affected by this behavior).

Allowing L1 to VMWRITE read-only fields is only beneficial in a double
nesting scenario, e.g. no sane VMM will VMWRITE VM_EXIT_REASON in normal
non-nested operation. Intercepting RO fields means KVM doesn't need to
sync them from the shadow VMCS to vmcs12 when running L2. The obvious
downside is that L1 will VM-Exit more often when running L3, but it's
likely safe to assume most folks would happily sacrifice a bit of L3
performance, which may not even be noticeable in the grande scheme, to
improve L2 performance across the board.
Not intercepting fields tagged read-only also allows for additional
optimizations, e.g. marking GUEST_{CS,SS}_AR_BYTES as SHADOW_FIELD_RO
since those fields are rarely written by a VMMs, but read frequently.
When utilizing a shadow VMCS with asymmetric R/W and R/O bitmaps, fields
that cause VM-Exit on VMWRITE but not VMREAD need to be propagated to
the shadow VMCS during VMWRITE emulation, otherwise a subsequence VMREAD
from L1 will consume a stale value.
Note, KVM currently utilizes asymmetric bitmaps when "VMWRITE any field"
is not exposed to L1, but only so that it can reject the VMWRITE, i.e.
propagating the VMWRITE to the shadow VMCS is a new requirement, not a
bug fix.
Eliminating the copying of RO fields reduces the latency of nested
VM-Entry (copy_shadow_to_vmcs12()) by ~100 cycles (plus 40-50 cycles

Per commit 1b6269db3f ("KVM: VMX: Handle NMIs before enabling

to "make sure we handle NMI on the current cpu, and that we don't
service maskable interrupts before non-maskable ones". The other
exceptions handled by complete_atomic_exit(), e.g. async #PF and #MC,
have similar requirements, and are located there to avoid extra VMREADs
since VMX bins hardware exceptions and NMIs into a single exit reason.
Clean up the code and eliminate the vaguely named complete_atomic_exit()
by moving the interrupts-disabled exception and NMI handling into the
existing handle_external_intrs() callback, and rename the callback to
a more appropriate name. Rename VMexit handlers throughout so that the
atomic and non-atomic counterparts have similar names.
In addition to improving code readability, this also ensures the NMI
handler is run with the host's debug registers loaded in the unlikely
event that the user is debugging NMIs. Accuracy of the last_guest_tsc
field is also improved when handling NMIs (and #MCs) as the handler

Although the kernel may use multiple IDTs, KVM should only ever see the
"real" IDT, e.g. the early init IDT is long gone by the time KVM runs
and the debug stack IDT is only used for small windows of time in very
specific flows.
Before commit a547c6db4d ("KVM: VMX: Enable acknowledge interupt on
vmexit"), the kernel's IDT base was consumed by KVM only when setting
constant VMCS state, i.e. to set VMCS.HOST_IDTR_BASE. Because constant
host state is done once per vCPU, there was ostensibly no need to cache
the kernel's IDT base.
When support for "ack interrupt on exit" was introduced, KVM added a
second consumer of the IDT base as handling already-acked interrupts
requires directly calling the interrupt handler, i.e. KVM uses the IDT
base to find the address of the handler. Because interrupts are a fast
path, KVM cached the IDT base to avoid having to VMREAD HOST_IDTR_BASE.
Presumably, the IDT base was cached on a per-vCPU basis simply because
the existing code grabbed the IDT base on a per-vCPU (VMCS) basis.
Note, all post-boot IDTs use the same handlers for external interrupts,
i.e. the "ack interrupt on exit" use of the IDT base would be unaffected
even if the cached IDT somehow did not match the current IDT. And as
for the original use case of setting VMCS.HOST_IDTR_BASE, if any of the
above analysis is wrong then KVM has had a bug since the beginning of
time since KVM has effectively been caching the IDT at vCPU creation
since commit a8b732ca01c ("[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface").

In addition to avoiding the extra VMREAD, checking the EXIT_REASON
instead of VM_EXIT_INTR_INFO makes it more obvious that
vmx_handle_external_intr() is called for all VM-Exits, e.g. someone
unfamiliar with the flow might wonder under what condition(s)
VM_EXIT_INTR_INFO does not contain a valid interrupt, which is
simply not possible since KVM always runs with "ack interrupt on exit".
WARN once if VM_EXIT_INTR_INFO doesn't contain a valid interrupt on
an EXTERNAL_INTERRUPT VM-Exit, as such a condition would indicate a
hardware bug.

The reason for skipping handling of NMI and #MC in handle_exception is
the same, namely they are handled earlier by vmx_complete_atomic_exit.
Calling the machine check handler (which just returns 1) is misleading,
don't do it.

A previous fix to prevent KVM from consuming stale VMCS state after a
failed VM-Entry inadvertantly blocked KVM's handling of machine checks
that occur during VM-Entry.
Per Intel's SDM, a #MC during VM-Entry is handled in one of three ways,
depending on when the #MC is recognoized. As it pertains to this bug
fix, the third case explicitly states EXIT_REASON_MCE_DURING_VMENTRY
is handled like any other VM-Exit during VM-Entry, i.e. sets bit 31 to
indicate the VM-Entry failed.
If a machine-check event occurs during a VM entry, one of the following occurs:
- The machine-check event is handled as if it occurred before the VM entry:
...
- The machine-check event is handled after VM entry completes:
...
- A VM-entry failure occurs as described in Section 26.7. The basic
exit reason is 41, for "VM-entry failure due to machine-check event".
Explicitly handle EXIT_REASON_MCE_DURING_VMENTRY as a one-off case in
vmx_vcpu_run() instead of binning it into vmx_complete_atomic_exit().
Doing so allows vmx_vcpu_run() to handle VMX_EXIT_REASONS_FAILED_VMENTRY
in a sane fashion and also simplifies vmx_complete_atomic_exit() since
VMCS.VM_EXIT_INTR_INFO is guaranteed to be fresh.

In function apic_mmio_write(), the offset has been checked in:
* apic_mmio_in_range()
* offset & 0xf
These two ensures offset is in range [0x010, 0xff0].

apic_clear_vector() is the counterpart of kvm_lapic_set_vector(),
while they have different naming convention.
Rename it and move together to arch/x86/kvm/lapic.h. Also fix one typo
in comment by hand.

On delivering irq to apic, we iterate on vcpu and do the check like
this:
kvm_apic_present(vcpu)
kvm_lapic_enabled(vpu)
kvm_apic_present(vcpu) && kvm_apic_sw_enabled(vcpu->arch.apic)
Since we have already checked kvm_apic_present(), it is reasonable to
replace kvm_lapic_enabled() with kvm_apic_sw_enabled().
