commit 4e59516a12a6ef6dcb660cb3a3f70c64bd60cfec upstream.
Between loading the new VMCS and enabling PML, the CPU was unpinned.
If the vCPU thread were migrated to another CPU in the interim (e.g.,
due to preemption or sleeping alloc_page), then the VMWRITEs to enable
PML would target the wrong VMCS -- or no VMCS at all:
[ 2087.266950] vmwrite error: reg 200e value 3fe1d52000 (err -506126336)
[ 2087.267062] vmwrite error: reg 812 value 1ff (err 511)
[ 2087.267125] vmwrite error: reg 401e value 12229c00 (err 304258048)
This patch ensures that the VMCS remains current while enabling PML by
doing the VMWRITEs while the CPU is pinned. Allocation of the PML buffer
is hoisted out of the critical section.

commit dccbfcf52cebb8963246eba5b177b77f26b34da0 upstream.
If vmcs12 does not intercept APIC_BASE writes, then KVM will handle the
write with vmcs02 as the current VMCS.
This will incorrectly apply modifications intended for vmcs01 to vmcs02
and L2 can use it to gain access to L0's x2APIC registers by disabling
virtualized x2APIC while using msr bitmap that assumes enabled.
Postpone execution of vmx_set_virtual_x2apic_mode until vmcs01 is the
current VMCS. An alternative solution would temporarily make vmcs01 the
current VMCS, but it requires more care.

commit 2f1fe81123f59271bddda673b60116bde9660385 upstream.
When freeing the nested resources of a vcpu, there is an assumption that
the vcpu's vmcs01 is the current VMCS on the CPU that executes
nested_release_vmcs12(). If this assumption is violated, the vcpu's
vmcs01 may be made active on multiple CPUs at the same time, in
violation of Intel's specification. Moreover, since the vcpu's vmcs01 is
not VMCLEARed on every CPU on which it is active, it can linger in a
CPU's VMCS cache after it has been freed and potentially
repurposed. Subsequent eviction from the CPU's VMCS cache on a capacity
miss can result in memory corruption.
It is not sufficient for vmx_free_vcpu() to call vmx_load_vmcs01(). If
the vcpu in question was last loaded on a different CPU, it must be
migrated to the current CPU before calling vmx_load_vmcs01().

Cross-checking the KVM/VMX VMREAD emulation code with the Intel Software
Developper Manual Volume 3C - "VMREAD - Read Field from Virtual-Machine
Control Structure", I found that we're enforcing that the destination

the L1 is in long mode - BUT that check should only happen when it is in
protected mode.
Shuffling the code a bit to make our emulation follow the specification
allows me to boot a Xen dom0 in a nested KVM and start HVM L2 guests
without problems.

Yes, all of these are needed. :) This is admittedly a bit odd, but
kvm-unit-tests access.flat tests this if you run it with "-cpu host"
and of course ept=0.
KVM runs the guest with CR0.WP=1, so it must handle supervisor writes
specially when pte.u=1/pte.w=0/CR0.WP=0. Such writes cause a fault
when U=1 and W=0 in the SPTE, but they must succeed because CR0.WP=0.
When KVM gets the fault, it sets U=0 and W=1 in the shadow PTE and
restarts execution. This will still cause a user write to fault, while
supervisor writes will succeed. User reads will fault spuriously now,
and KVM will then flip U and W again in the SPTE (U=1, W=0). User reads
will be enabled and supervisor writes disabled, going back to the
originary situation where supervisor writes fault spuriously.
When SMEP is in effect, however, U=0 will enable kernel execution of
this page. To avoid this, KVM also sets NX=1 in the shadow PTE together
with U=0. If the guest has not enabled NX, the result is a continuous
stream of page faults due to the NX bit being reserved.
The fix is to force EFER.NX=1 even if the CPU is taking care of the EFER
switch. (All machines with SMEP have the CPU_LOAD_IA32_EFER vm-entry
control, so they do not use user-return notifiers for EFER---if they did,
EFER.NX would be forced to the same value as the host).
There is another bug in the reserved bit check, which I've split to a
separate patch for easier application to stable kernels.

commit 7099e2e1f4d9051f31bbfa5803adf954bb5d76ef upstream.
Linux guests on Haswell (and also SandyBridge and Broadwell, at least)
would crash if you decided to run a host command that uses PEBS, like
perf record -e 'cpu/mem-stores/pp' -a
This happens because KVM is using VMX MSR switching to disable PEBS, but
SDM [2015-12] 18.4.4.4 Re-configuring PEBS Facilities explains why it
isn't safe:
When software needs to reconfigure PEBS facilities, it should allow a
quiescent period between stopping the prior event counting and setting
up a new PEBS event. The quiescent period is to allow any latent
residual PEBS records to complete its capture at their previously
specified buffer address (provided by IA32_DS_AREA).
There might not be a quiescent period after the MSR switch, so a CPU
ends up using host's MSR_IA32_DS_AREA to access an area in guest's
memory. (Or MSR switching is just buggy on some models.)
The guest can learn something about the host this way:
If the guest doesn't map address pointed by MSR_IA32_DS_AREA, it results
in #PF where we leak host's MSR_IA32_DS_AREA through CR2.
After that, a malicious guest can map and configure memory where
MSR_IA32_DS_AREA is pointing and can therefore get an output from
host's tracing.
This is not a critical leak as the host must initiate with PEBS tracing
and I have not been able to get a record from more than one instruction
before vmentry in vmx_vcpu_run() (that place has most registers already
overwritten with guest's).
We could disable PEBS just few instructions before vmentry, but
disabling it earlier shouldn't affect host tracing too much.
We also don't need to switch MSR_IA32_PEBS_ENABLE on VMENTRY, but that
optimization isn't worth its code, IMO.
(If you are implementing PEBS for guests, be sure to handle the case
where both host and guest enable PEBS, because this patch doesn't.)

incorrect because:
(1) According to Intel SDM Vol 3, Section "INVVPID - Invalidate
Translations Based on VPID", invvpid instruction does not check
vpid in the invvpid descriptor when its type is all-contexts
invalidation.
(2) According to the same document, invvpid of type all-contexts
invalidation does not require there is an active VMCS, so/and
get_vmcs12() in the existing code may result in a NULL-pointer

Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
The reason is in above commit vmx_cpuid_update calls vmx_secondary_exec_control,
in which currently SECONDARY_EXEC_ENABLE_PML bit is cleared unconditionally (as
PML is enabled in creating vcpu). Therefore if vcpu_cpuid_update is called after
vcpu is created, PML will be disabled unexpectedly while log-dirty code still
thinks PML is used.
Fix this by clearing SECONDARY_EXEC_ENABLE_PML in vmx_secondary_exec_control
only when PML is not supported or not enabled (!enable_pml). This is more
reasonable as PML is currently either always enabled or disabled. With this
explicit updating SECONDARY_EXEC_ENABLE_PML in vmx_enable{disable}_pml is not
needed so also rename vmx_enable{disable}_pml to vmx_create{destroy}_pml_buffer.

The comment in code had it mostly right, but we enable paging for
emulated real mode regardless of EPT.
Without EPT (which implies emulated real mode), secondary VCPUs won't
start unless we disable SM[AE]P when the guest doesn't use paging.

Not zeroing EFER means that a 32-bit firmware cannot enter paging mode
without clearing EFER.LME first (which it should not know about).
Yang Zhang from Intel confirmed that the manual is wrong and EFER is
cleared to zero on INIT.

Expose VPID capability to L1. For nested guests, we don't do anything
specific for single context invalidation. Hence, only advertise support
for global context invalidation. The major benefit of nested VPID comes
from having separate vpids when switching between L1 and L2, and also
when L2's vCPUs not sched in/out on L1.

VPID is used to tag address space and avoid a TLB flush. Currently L0 use
the same VPID to run L1 and all its guests. KVM flushes VPID when switching
between L1 and L2.
This patch advertises VPID to the L1 hypervisor, then address space of L1
and L2 can be separately treated and avoid TLB flush when swithing between
L1 and L2. For each nested vmentry, if vpid12 is changed, reuse shadow vpid
w/ an invvpid.
Performance:
run lmbench on L2 w/ 3.5 kernel.
Context switching - times in microseconds - smaller is better

This merge brings in a couple important SMM fixes, which makes it
easier to test latest KVM with unrestricted_guest=0 and to test
the in-progress work on SMM support in the firmware.
Conflicts:
arch/x86/kvm/x86.c
The next patch will make x86_set_memory_region fill the
userspace_addr. Since the struct is not used untouched
anymore, it makes sense to build it in x86_set_memory_region
directly; it also simplifies the callers.
