When the kvm_intel module unloads the module parameter
'allow_smaller_maxphyaddr' is not cleared because the backing variable is
defined in the kvm module. As a result, if the module parameter's state
was set before kvm_intel unloads, it will also be set when it reloads.
Explicitly clear the state in vmx_exit() to prevent this from happening.

This test exercises the feature KVM_CAP_EXIT_ON_EMULATION_FAILURE. When
enabled, errors in the in-kernel instruction emulator are forwarded to
userspace with the instruction bytes stored in the exit struct for
KVM_EXIT_INTERNAL_ERROR. So, when the guest attempts to emulate an
'flds' instruction, which isn't able to be emulated in KVM, instead
of failing, KVM sends the instruction to userspace to handle.
For this test to work properly the module parameter
'allow_smaller_maxphyaddr' has to be set.

Add a fallback mechanism to the in-kernel instruction emulator that
allows userspace the opportunity to process an instruction the emulator
was unable to. When the in-kernel instruction emulator fails to process
an instruction it will either inject a #UD into the guest or exit to
userspace with exit reason KVM_INTERNAL_ERROR. This is because it does
not know how to proceed in an appropriate manner. This feature lets
userspace get involved to see if it can figure out a better path

Let the guest use 1g hugepages if TDP is enabled and the host supports
GBPAGES, KVM can't actively prevent the guest from using 1g pages in this
case since they can't be disabled in the hardware page walker. While
injecting a page fault if a bogus 1g page is encountered during a
software page walk is perfectly reasonable since KVM is simply honoring
userspace's vCPU model, doing so arguably doesn't provide any meaningful
value, and at worst will be horribly confusing as the guest will see
inconsistent behavior and seemingly spurious page faults.

Drop the pre-computed last_nonleaf_level, which is arguably wrong and at
best confusing. Per the comment:
Can have large pages at levels 2..last_nonleaf_level-1.
the intent of the variable would appear to be to track what levels can
_legally_ have large pages, but that intent doesn't align with reality.
The computed value will be wrong for 5-level paging, or if 1gb pages are
not supported.
The flawed code is not a problem in practice, because except for 32-bit
PSE paging, bit 7 is reserved if large pages aren't supported at the
level. Take advantage of this invariant and simply omit the level magic
math for 64-bit page tables (including PAE).
For 32-bit paging (non-PAE), the adjustments are needed purely because
bit 7 is ignored if PSE=0. Retain that logic as is, but make
is_last_gpte() unique per PTTYPE so that the PSE check is avoided for
PAE and EPT paging. In the spirit of avoiding branches, bump the "last
nonleaf level" for 32-bit PSE paging by adding the PSE bit itself.
Note, bit 7 is ignored or has other meaning in CR3/EPTP, but despite
FNAME(walk_addr_generic) briefly grabbing CR3/EPTP in "pte", they are
not PTEs and will blow up all the other gpte helpers.

logic is confusing but not broken, because except for 32-bit non-PAE
paging, bit 7 (_PAGE_PSE) bit is reserved when a huge page isn't supported at
that level. I.e. setting bit 7 will terminate the guest walk one way or

verified there are no reserved bits set.

CR4.LA57 is an exception, as it can be toggled on VM-Exit (for L1's MMU)

the latter becomes a pure pass-through. There really should be no reason
for code to do a complete sync of a shadow page outside of the full
kvm_mmu_sync_roots(), e.g. the one use case that creeped in turned out to
be flawed and counter-productive.
Drop the stale comment about @sp->gfn needing to be write-protected, as
it directly contradicts the kvm_mmu_get_page() usage.
No functional change intended.

Explain the usage of sync_page() in kvm_mmu_get_page(), which is
subtle in how and why it differs from mmu_sync_children().

When synchronizing a shadow page, WARN and zap the page if its mmu role
isn't compatible with the current MMU context, where "compatible" is an
exact match sans the bits that have no meaning in the overall MMU context
or will be explicitly overwritten during the sync. Many of the helpers
used by sync_page() are specific to the current context, updating a SMM
vs. non-SMM shadow page would use the wrong memslots, updating L1 vs. L2
PTEs might work but would be extremely bizaree, and so on and so forth.
Drop the guard with respect to 8-byte vs. 4-byte PTEs in
__kvm_sync_page(), it was made useless when kvm_mmu_get_page() stopped
trying to sync shadow pages irrespective of the current MMU context.

Originally, __kvm_sync_page used to check the cr4_pae bit in the role
to avoid zapping 4-byte kvm_mmu_pages when guest page size are 8-byte
or the other way round. However, in commit 47c42e6b41 ("KVM: x86: fix
handling of role.cr4_pae and rename it to 'gpte_size'", 2019-03-28) it
was observed that this did not work for nested EPT, where the page table
size would be 8 bytes even if CR4.PAE=0. (Note that the check still
has to be done for nested *NPT*, so it is not possible to use tdp_enabled
or similar).
Therefore, a hack was introduced to identify nested EPT shadow pages
and unconditionally call __kvm_sync_page() on them. However, it is
possible to do without the hack to identify nested EPT shadow pages:
if EPT is active, there will be no shadow pages in non-EPT format,
and all of them will have gpte_is_8_bytes set to true; we can just
check the MMU role directly, and the test will always be true.
Even for non-EPT shadow MMUs, this test should really always be true
now that __kvm_sync_page() is called if and only if the role is an
exact match (kvm_mmu_get_page()) or is part of the current MMU context
(kvm_mmu_sync_roots()). A future commit will convert the likely-pointless
check into a meaningful WARN to enforce that the mmu_roles of the current
context and the shadow page are compatible.

When creating a new upper-level shadow page, zap unsync shadow pages at
the same target gfn instead of attempting to sync the pages. This fixes
a bug where an unsync shadow page could be sync'd with an incompatible
context, e.g. wrong smm, is_guest, etc... flags. In practice, the bug is
relatively benign as sync_page() is all but guaranteed to fail its check
that the guest's desired gfn (for the to-be-sync'd page) matches the
current gfn associated with the shadow page. I.e. kvm_sync_page() would
end up zapping the page anyways.
Alternatively, __kvm_sync_page() could be modified to explicitly verify
the mmu_role of the unsync shadow page is compatible with the current MMU
context. But, except for this specific case, __kvm_sync_page() is called
iff the page is compatible, e.g. the transient sync in kvm_mmu_get_page()
requires an exact role match, and the call from kvm_sync_mmu_roots() is
only synchronizing shadow pages from the current MMU (which better be
compatible or KVM has problems). And as described above, attempting to
sync shadow pages when creating an upper-level shadow page is unlikely
to succeed, e.g. zero successful syncs were observed when running Linux
guests despite over a million attempts.
