Move CR4 caching into the standard register caching mechanism in order
to take advantage of the availability checks provided by regs_avail.
This avoids multiple VMREADs and retpolines (when configured) during
nested VMX transitions as kvm_read_cr4_bits() is invoked multiple times
on each transition, e.g. when stuffing CR0 and CR3.
As an added bonus, this eliminates a kvm_x86_ops hook, saves a retpoline
on SVM when reading CR4, and squashes the confusing naming discrepancy
of "cache_reg" vs. "decache_cr4_guest_bits".
No functional change intended.

Skip the Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier that is triggered on a VMCS
switch when temporarily loading vmcs02 to synchronize it to vmcs12, i.e.
give copy_vmcs02_to_vmcs12_rare() the same treatment as
vmx_switch_vmcs().
Make vmx_vcpu_load() static now that it's only referenced within vmx.c.

Skip the Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier that is triggered on a VMCS
switch when running with spectre_v2_user=on/auto if the switch is
between two VMCSes in the same guest, i.e. between vmcs01 and vmcs02.
The IBPB is intended to prevent one guest from attacking another, which
is unnecessary in the nested case as it's the same guest from KVM's
perspective.
This all but eliminates the overhead observed for nested VMX transitions
when running with CONFIG_RETPOLINE=y and spectre_v2_user=on/auto, which
can be significant, e.g. roughly 3x on current systems.

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.

Flush all EPTP/VPID contexts if a TLB flush _may_ have been triggered by
a remote or deferred TLB flush, i.e. by KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH. Remote TLB
flushes require all contexts to be invalidated, not just the active
contexts, e.g. all mappings in all contexts for a given HVA need to be
invalidated on a mmu_notifier invalidation. Similarly, the instigator
of the deferred TLB flush may be expecting all contexts to be flushed,
e.g. vmx_vcpu_load_vmcs().
Without nested VMX, flushing only the current EPTP/VPID context isn't
problematic because KVM uses a constant VPID for each vCPU, and
mmu_alloc_direct_roots() all but guarantees KVM will use a single EPTP
for L1. In the rare case where a different EPTP is created or reused,
KVM (currently) unconditionally flushes the new EPTP context prior to
entering the guest.
With nested VMX, KVM conditionally uses a different VPID for L2, and
unconditionally uses a different EPTP for L2. Because KVM doesn't
_intentionally_ guarantee L2's EPTP/VPID context is flushed on nested
VM-Enter, it'd be possible for a malicious L1 to attack the host and/or
different VMs by exploiting the lack of flushing for L2.
1) Launch nested guest from malicious L1.
2) Nested VM-Enter to L2.
3) Access target GPA 'g'. CPU inserts TLB entry tagged with L2's ASID
mapping 'g' to host PFN 'x'.
2) Nested VM-Exit to L1.
3) L1 triggers kernel same-page merging (ksm) by duplicating/zeroing
the page for PFN 'x'.
4) Host kernel merges PFN 'x' with PFN 'y', i.e. unmaps PFN 'x' and
remaps the page to PFN 'y'. mmu_notifier sends invalidate command,
KVM flushes TLB only for L1's ASID.
4) Host kernel reallocates PFN 'x' to some other task/guest.
5) Nested VM-Enter to L2. KVM does not invalidate L2's EPTP or VPID.
6) L2 accesses GPA 'g' and gains read/write access to PFN 'x' via its
stale TLB entry.
However, current KVM unconditionally flushes L1's EPTP/VPID context on
nested VM-Exit. But, that behavior is mostly unintentional, KVM doesn't
go out of its way to flush EPTP/VPID on nested VM-Enter/VM-Exit, rather
a TLB flush is guaranteed to occur prior to re-entering L1 due to
__kvm_mmu_new_cr3() always being called with skip_tlb_flush=false. On
nested VM-Enter, this happens via kvm_init_shadow_ept_mmu() (nested EPT
enabled) or in nested_vmx_load_cr3() (nested EPT disabled). On nested
VM-Exit it occurs via nested_vmx_load_cr3().
This also fixes a bug where a deferred TLB flush in the context of L2,
with EPT disabled, would flush L1's VPID instead of L2's VPID, as
vmx_flush_tlb() flushes L1's VPID regardless of is_guest_mode().

Since commit 5f3d45e7f282 ("kvm/x86: add support for
MONITOR_TRAP_FLAG"), KVM has allowed an L1 guest to use the monitor trap
flag processor-based execution control for its L2 guest. KVM simply
forwards any MTF VM-exits to the L1 guest, which works for normal
instruction execution.
However, when KVM needs to emulate an instruction on the behalf of an L2
guest, the monitor trap flag is not emulated. Add the necessary logic to
kvm_skip_emulated_instruction() to synthesize an MTF VM-exit to L1 upon
instruction emulation for L2.

As pointed out by Boris, the defines for bits in IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL
are quite a mouthful, especially the VMX bits which must differentiate
between enabling VMX inside and outside SMX (TXT) operation. Rename the
MSR and its bit defines to abbreviate FEATURE_CONTROL as FEAT_CTL to
make them a little friendlier on the eyes.
Arguably, the MSR itself should keep the full IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL name
to match Intel's SDM, but a future patch will add a dedicated Kconfig,
file and functions for the MSR. Using the full name for those assets is
rather unwieldy, so bite the bullet and use IA32_FEAT_CTL so that its
nomenclature is consistent throughout the kernel.
Opportunistically, fix a few other annoyances with the defines:
- Relocate the bit defines so that they immediately follow the MSR
define, e.g. aren't mistaken as belonging to MISC_FEATURE_CONTROL.
- Add whitespace around the block of feature control defines to make
it clear they're all related.
- Use BIT() instead of manually encoding the bit shift.
- Use "VMX" instead of "VMXON" to match the SDM.
- Append "_ENABLED" to the LMCE (Local Machine Check Exception) bit to
be consistent with the kernel's verbiage used for all other feature
control bits. Note, the SDM refers to the LMCE bit as LMCE_ON,
likely to differentiate it from IA32_MCG_EXT_CTL.LMCE_EN. Ignore
the (literal) one-off usage of _ON, the SDM is simply "wrong".

The L1 hypervisor may include the IA32_TIME_STAMP_COUNTER MSR in the
vmcs12 MSR VM-exit MSR-store area as a way of determining the highest
TSC value that might have been observed by L2 prior to VM-exit. The
current implementation does not capture a very tight bound on this
value. To tighten the bound, add the IA32_TIME_STAMP_COUNTER MSR to the
vmcs02 VM-exit MSR-store area whenever it appears in the vmcs12 VM-exit
MSR-store area. When L0 processes the vmcs12 VM-exit MSR-store area
during the emulation of an L2->L1 VM-exit, special-case the

When L1 don't use TPR-Shadow to run L2, L0 configures vmcs02 without
TPR-Shadow and install intercepts on CR8 access (load and store).
If L1 do not intercept L2 CR8 access, L0 intercepts on those accesses
will emulate load/store on L1's LAPIC TPR. If in this case L2 lowers
TPR such that there is now an injectable interrupt to L1,
apic_update_ppr() will request a KVM_REQ_EVENT which will trigger a call
to update_cr8_intercept() to update TPR-Threshold to highest pending IRR
priority.
However, this update to TPR-Threshold is done while active vmcs is
vmcs02 instead of vmcs01. Thus, when later at some point L0 will
emulate an exit from L2 to L1, L1 will still run with high
TPR-Threshold. This will result in every VMEntry to L1 to immediately
exit on TPR_BELOW_THRESHOLD and continue to do so infinitely until
some condition will cause KVM_REQ_EVENT to be set.
(Note that TPR_BELOW_THRESHOLD exit handler do not set KVM_REQ_EVENT
until apic_update_ppr() will notice a new injectable interrupt for PPR)
To fix this issue, change update_cr8_intercept() such that if L2 lowers
L1's TPR in a way that requires to lower L1's TPR-Threshold, save update
to TPR-Threshold and apply it to vmcs01 when L0 emulates an exit from
L2 to L1.

When vCPU enters block phase, pi_pre_block() inserts vCPU to a per pCPU
linked list of all vCPUs that are blocked on this pCPU. Afterwards, it
changes PID.NV to POSTED_INTR_WAKEUP_VECTOR which its handler
(wakeup_handler()) is responsible to kick (unblock) any vCPU on that
linked list that now has pending posted interrupts.
While vCPU is blocked (in kvm_vcpu_block()), it may be preempted which
will cause vmx_vcpu_pi_put() to set PID.SN. If later the vCPU will be
scheduled to run on a different pCPU, vmx_vcpu_pi_load() will clear
PID.SN but will also *overwrite PID.NDST to this different pCPU*.
Instead of keeping it with original pCPU which vCPU had entered block
phase on.
This results in an issue because when a posted interrupt is delivered, as
the wakeup_handler() will be executed and fail to find blocked vCPU on
its per pCPU linked list of all vCPUs that are blocked on this pCPU.
Which is due to the vCPU being placed on a *different* per pCPU
linked list i.e. the original pCPU in which it entered block phase.
The regression is introduced by commit c112b5f50232 ("KVM: x86:
Recompute PID.ON when clearing PID.SN"). Therefore, partially revert
it and reintroduce the condition in vmx_vcpu_pi_load() responsible for
avoiding changing PID.NDST when loading a blocked vCPU.

mwait_control_cached in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/umwait.c caches the MSR value,

The VMX ple_window is 32 bits wide, so logically it can overflow with
an int. The module parameter is declared as unsigned int which is
good, however the dynamic variable is not. Switching all the
ple_window references to use unsigned int.
The tracepoint changes will also affect SVM, but SVM is using an even
smaller width (16 bits) so it's always fine.

Or: Don't re-initialize vmcs02's controls on every nested VM-Entry.
VMWRITEs to the major VMCS controls are deceptively expensive. Intel
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.
Zero out the controls' shadow copies during VMCS allocation and use the
optimized setter when "initializing" controls. While this technically
affects both non-nested and nested virtualization, nested virtualization
is the primary beneficiary as avoid VMWRITEs when prepare vmcs02 allows
hardware to optimizie away consistency checks.

KVM provides a module parameter to allow disabling virtual NMI support
to simplify testing (hardware *without* virtual NMI support is hard to
come by but it does have users). When preparing vmcs02, use the accessor
for pin controls to ensure that the module param is respected for nested
guests.
Opportunistically swap the order of applying L0's and L1's pin controls
to better align with other controls and to prepare for a future patche
that will ignore L1's, but not L0's, preemption timer flag.

When switching between vmcs01 and vmcs02, there is no need to update
state tracking for values that aren't tied to any particular VMCS as
the per-vCPU values are already up-to-date (vmx_switch_vmcs() can only
be called when the vCPU is loaded).
Avoiding the update eliminates a RDMSR, and potentially a RDPKRU and
posted-interrupt update (cmpxchg64() and more).

When switching between vmcs01 and vmcs02, KVM isn't actually switching
between guest and host. If guest state is already loaded (the likely,
if not guaranteed, case), keep the guest state loaded and manually swap
the loaded_cpu_state pointer after propagating saved host state to the
new vmcs0{1,2}.
Avoiding the switch between guest and host reduces the latency of
switching between vmcs01 and vmcs02 by several hundred cycles, and
reduces the roundtrip time of a nested VM by upwards of 1000 cycles.

vmx->loaded_cpu_state can only be NULL or equal to vmx->loaded_vmcs,
so change it to a bool. Because the direction of the bool is
now the opposite of vmx->guest_msrs_dirty, change the direction of
vmx->guest_msrs_dirty so that they match.
Finally, do not imply that MSRs have to be reloaded when
vmx->guest_state_loaded is false; instead, set vmx->guest_msrs_ready
to false explicitly in vmx_prepare_switch_to_host.

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
is in flight to optimize away GUEST_PDTPR synchronziation for non-PAE
guests.
Skipping rarely accessed guest fields reduces the latency of a nested
VM-Exit by ~200 cycles.

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 a547c6db4d2f1 ("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").
