Recent KVM, since http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kvm/2010/5/2/6261577
switch the EFER MSR when EPT is used and the host and guest have different
NX bits. So if we add support for nested EPT (L1 guest using EPT to run L2)
and want to be able to run recent KVM as L1, we need to allow L1 to use this
EFER switching feature.
To do this EFER switching, KVM uses VM_ENTRY/EXIT_LOAD_IA32_EFER if available,
and if it isn't, it uses the generic VM_ENTRY/EXIT_MSR_LOAD. This patch adds
support for the former (the latter is still unsupported).
Nested entry and exit emulation (prepare_vmcs_02 and load_vmcs12_host_state,
respectively) already handled VM_ENTRY/EXIT_LOAD_IA32_EFER correctly. So all
that's left to do in this patch is to properly advertise this feature to L1.
Note that vmcs12's VM_ENTRY/EXIT_LOAD_IA32_EFER are emulated by L0, by using
vmx_set_efer (which itself sets one of several vmcs02 fields), so we always
support this feature, regardless of whether the host supports it.

Currently, fast page fault incorrectly tries to fix mmio page fault when
the generation number is invalid (spte.gen != kvm.gen). It then returns
to guest to retry the fault since it sees the last spte is nonpresent.
This causes an infinite loop.
Since fast page fault only works for direct mmu, the issue exists when
1) tdp is enabled. It is only triggered only on AMD host since on Intel host
the mmio page fault is recognized as ept-misconfig whose handler call
fault-page path with error_code = 0
2) guest paging is disabled. Under this case, the issue is hardly discovered
since paging disable is short-lived and the sptes will be invalid after
memslot changed for 150 times
Fix it by filtering out MMIO page faults in page_fault_can_be_fast.

Add a tracepoint write_tsc_offset for tracing TSC offset change.
We want to merge ftrace's trace data of guest OSs and the host OS using
TSC for timestamp in chronological order. We need "TSC offset" values for
each guest when merge those because the TSC value on a guest is always the
host TSC plus guest's TSC offset. If we get the TSC offset values, we can
calculate the host TSC value for each guest events from the TSC offset and
the event TSC value. The host TSC values of the guest events are used when we
want to merge trace data of guests and the host in chronological order.
(Note: the trace_clock of both the host and the guest must be set x86-tsc in
this case)
This tracepoint also records vcpu_id which can be used to merge trace data for
SMP guests. A merge tool will read TSC offset for each vcpu, then the tool
converts guest TSC values to host TSC values for each vcpu.
TSC offset is stored in the VMCS by vmx_write_tsc_offset() or
vmx_adjust_tsc_offset(). KVM executes the former function when a guest boots.
The latter function is executed when kvm clock is updated. Only host can read
TSC offset value from VMCS, so a host needs to output TSC offset value
when TSC offset is changed.
Since the TSC offset is not often changed, it could be overwritten by other
frequent events while tracing. To avoid that, I recommend to use a special
instance for getting this event:
1. set a instance before booting a guest
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances
# mkdir tsc_offset
# cd tsc_offset
# echo x86-tsc > trace_clock
# echo 1 > events/kvm/kvm_write_tsc_offset/enable
2. boot a guest

This patch tries to introduce a very simple and scale way to invalidate
all mmio sptes - it need not walk any shadow pages and hold mmu-lock
KVM maintains a global mmio valid generation-number which is stored in
kvm->memslots.generation and every mmio spte stores the current global
generation-number into his available bits when it is created
When KVM need zap all mmio sptes, it just simply increase the global
generation-number. When guests do mmio access, KVM intercepts a MMIO #PF
then it walks the shadow page table and get the mmio spte. If the
generation-number on the spte does not equal the global generation-number,
it will go to the normal #PF handler to update the mmio spte
Since 19 bits are used to store generation-number on mmio spte, we zap all
mmio sptes when the number is round

become worse if guest uses more memory or vcpus. It is not good for

In this patch, we introduce a faster way to invalidate all shadow pages.
KVM maintains a global mmu invalid generation-number which is stored in
kvm->arch.mmu_valid_gen and every shadow page stores the current global
generation-number into sp->mmu_valid_gen when it is created
When KVM need zap all shadow pages sptes, it just simply increase the
global generation-number then reload root shadow pages on all vcpus.
Vcpu will create a new shadow page table according to current kvm's
generation-number. It ensures the old pages are not used any more.

| Back then kvm->lock protected memslot access so code like:
|
| mutex_lock(&vcpu->kvm->lock);
| kvm_mmu_zap_all(vcpu->kvm);
| mutex_unlock(&vcpu->kvm->lock);
|
| which is what 7aa81cc0 does was enough to guaranty that no vcpu will
| run while code is patched. This is no longer the case and
| mutex_lock(&vcpu->kvm->lock); is gone from that code path long time ago,
| so now kvm_mmu_zap_all() there is useless and the code is incorrect.
So we drop it and it will be fixed later

apic->pending_events processing has a race that may cause INIT and
SIPI
processing to be reordered:
vpu0: vcpu1:
set INIT
test_and_clear_bit(KVM_APIC_INIT)
process INIT
set INIT
set SIPI
test_and_clear_bit(KVM_APIC_SIPI)
process SIPI
At the end INIT is left pending in pending_events. The following patch
fixes this by latching pending event before processing them.

The x86-64 extended low-byte registers were fetched correctly from reg,
but not from mod/rm.
This fixes another bug in the boot of RHEL5.9 64-bit, but it is still
not enough.
