In case an interrupt arrives after nested.check_events but before the
call to kvm_cpu_has_injectable_intr, we could end up enabling the interrupt
window even if the interrupt is actually going to be a vmexit. This is
useless rather than harmful, but it really complicates reasoning about
SVM's handling of the VINTR intercept. We'd like to never bother with
the VINTR intercept if V_INTR_MASKING=1 && INTERCEPT_INTR=1, because in
that case there is no interrupt window and we can just exit the nested
guest whenever we want.
This patch moves the opening of the interrupt window inside
inject_pending_event. This consolidates the check for pending
interrupt/NMI/SMI in one place, and makes KVM's usage of immediate
exits more consistent, extending it beyond just nested virtualization.
There are two functional changes here. They only affect corner cases,
but overall they simplify the inject_pending_event.
- re-injection of still-pending events will also use req_immediate_exit
instead of using interrupt-window intercepts. This should have no impact
on performance on Intel since it simply replaces an interrupt-window
or NMI-window exit for a preemption-timer exit. On AMD, which has no
equivalent of the preemption time, it may incur some overhead but an
actual effect on performance should only be visible in pathological cases.
- kvm_arch_interrupt_allowed and kvm_vcpu_has_events will return true
if an interrupt, NMI or SMI is blocked by nested_run_pending. This
makes sense because entering the VM will allow it to make progress
and deliver the event.

While optimizing posted-interrupt delivery especially for the timer
fastpath scenario, I measured kvm_x86_ops.deliver_posted_interrupt()
to introduce substantial latency because the processor has to perform
all vmentry tasks, ack the posted interrupt notification vector,
read the posted-interrupt descriptor etc.
This is not only slow, it is also unnecessary when delivering an
interrupt to the current CPU (as is the case for the LAPIC timer) because
PIR->IRR and IRR->RVI synchronization is already performed on vmentry
Therefore skip kvm_vcpu_trigger_posted_interrupt in this case, and
instead do vmx_sync_pir_to_irr() on the EXIT_FASTPATH_REENTER_GUEST
fastpath as well.

When KVM_EXIT_DEBUG is raised for the disabled-breakpoints case (DR7.GD),
DR6 was incorrectly copied from the value in the VM. Instead,
DR6.BD should be set in order to catch this case.
On AMD this does not need any special code because the processor triggers
a #DB exception that is intercepted. However, the testcase would fail
without the previous patch because both DR6.BS and DR6.BD would be set.
Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
There are two issues with KVM_EXIT_DEBUG on AMD, whose root cause is the
different handling of DR6 on intercepted #DB exceptions on Intel and AMD.
On Intel, #DB exceptions transmit the DR6 value via the exit qualification
field of the VMCS, and the exit qualification only contains the description
of the precise event that caused a vmexit.
On AMD, instead the DR6 field of the VMCB is filled in as if the #DB exception
was to be injected into the guest. This has two effects when guest debugging
is in use:
* the guest DR6 is clobbered
* the kvm_run->debug.arch.dr6 field can accumulate more debug events, rather
than just the last one that happened (the testcase in the next patch covers
this issue).
This patch fixes both issues by emulating, so to speak, the Intel behavior
on AMD processors. The important observation is that (after the previous
patches) the VMCB value of DR6 is only ever observable from the guest is
KVM_DEBUGREG_WONT_EXIT is set. Therefore we can actually set vmcb->save.dr6
to any value we want as long as KVM_DEBUGREG_WONT_EXIT is clear, which it
will be if guest debugging is enabled.
Therefore it is possible to enter the guest with an all-zero DR6,
reconstruct the #DB payload from the DR6 we get at exit time, and let
kvm_deliver_exception_payload move the newly set bits into vcpu->arch.dr6.
Some extra bits may be included in the payload if KVM_DEBUGREG_WONT_EXIT
is set, but this is harmless.
This may not be the most optimized way to deal with this, but it is
simple and, being confined within SVM code, it gets rid of the set_dr6
callback and kvm_update_dr6.

Remove all references to cr3_target_value[0-3] and replace the fields

support emulating CR3-target values, despite a variety of code that
implies otherwise, as KVM unconditionally reports '0' for the number of

This technically fixes a bug where KVM would incorrectly allow VMREAD
and VMWRITE to nonexistent fields, i.e. cr3_target_value[0-3]. Per
Intel's SDM, the number of supported CR3-target values reported in
VMX_MISC also enumerates the existence of the associated VMCS fields:
If a future implementation supports more than 4 CR3-target values, they
will be encoded consecutively following the 4 encodings given here.
Alternatively, the "bug" could be fixed by actually advertisting support
for 4 CR3-target values, but that'd likely just enable kvm-unit-tests
given that no one has complained about lack of support for going on ten
years, e.g. KVM, Xen and HyperV don't use CR3-target values.

Drop the call to vmx_segment_cache_clear() in vmx_switch_vmcs() now that
the entire register cache is reset when switching the active VMCS, e.g.
vmx_segment_cache_test_set() will reset the segment cache due to
VCPU_EXREG_SEGMENTS being unavailable.
Move vmx_segment_cache_clear() to vmx.c now that it's no longer invoked
by the nested code.

Reset the per-vCPU available and dirty register masks when switching
between vmcs01 and vmcs02, as the masks track state relative to the
current VMCS. The stale masks don't cause problems in the current code
base because the registers are either unconditionally written on nested
transitions or, in the case of segment registers, have an additional
tracker that is manually reset.
Note, by dropping (previously implicitly, now explicitly) the dirty mask
when switching the active VMCS, KVM is technically losing writes to the
associated fields. But, the only regs that can be dirtied (RIP, RSP and
PDPTRs) are unconditionally written on nested transitions, e.g. explicit
writeback is a waste of cycles, and a WARN_ON would be rather pointless.

Invoke ept_save_pdptrs() when restoring L1's host state on a "late"
VM-Fail if and only if PAE paging is enabled. This saves a CALL in the
common case where L1 is a 64-bit host, and avoids incorrectly marking
the PDPTRs as dirty.
WARN if ept_save_pdptrs() is called with PAE disabled now that the
nested usage pre-checks is_pae_paging(). Barring a bug in KVM's MMU,
attempting to read the PDPTRs with PAE disabled is now impossible.

Grab the exit reason from the vcpu struct in nested_vmx_reflect_vmexit()
instead of having the exit reason explicitly passed from the caller.
This fixes a discrepancy between VM-Fail and VM-Exit handling, as the
VM-Fail case is already handled by checking vcpu_vmx, e.g. the exit
reason previously passed on the stack is bogus if vmx->fail is set.
Not taking the exit reason on the stack also avoids having to document
that nested_vmx_reflect_vmexit() requires the full exit reason, as
opposed to just the basic exit reason, which is not at all obvious since
the only usages of the full exit reason are for tracing and way down in
prepare_vmcs12() where it's propagated to vmcs12.
No functional change intended.
