Use kvm_vcpu_map when mapping the L1 MSR bitmap since using
kvm_vcpu_gpa_to_page() and kmap() will only work for guest memory that has
a "struct page".

Since commits 668fffa3f838 ("kvm: better MWAIT emulation for guestsâ€)
and 4d5422cea3b6 ("KVM: X86: Provide a capability to disable MWAIT interceptsâ€),
KVM was modified to allow an admin to configure certain guests to execute
MONITOR/MWAIT inside guest without being intercepted by host.
This is useful in case admin wishes to allocate a dedicated logical
processor for each vCPU thread. Thus, making it safe for guest to
completely control the power-state of the logical processor.
The ability to use this new KVM capability was introduced to QEMU by
commits 6f131f13e68d ("kvm: support -overcommit cpu-pm=on|offâ€) and
2266d4431132 ("i386/cpu: make -cpu host support monitor/mwaitâ€).
However, exposing MONITOR/MWAIT to a Linux guest may cause it's intel_idle
kernel module to execute c1e_promotion_disable() which will attempt to
RDMSR/WRMSR from/to MSR_IA32_POWER_CTL to manipulate the "C1E Enable"
bit. This behaviour was introduced by commit
32e9518005c8 ("intel_idle: export both C1 and C1Eâ€).
Becuase KVM doesn't emulate this MSR, running KVM with ignore_msrs=0
will cause the above guest behaviour to raise a #GP which will cause
guest to kernel panic.
Therefore, add support for nop emulation of MSR_IA32_POWER_CTL to
avoid #GP in guest in this scenario.
Future commits can optimise emulation further by reflecting guest
MSR changes to host MSR to provide guest with the ability to
fine-tune the dedicated logical processor power-state.

As mentioned in the comment, there are some special cases where we can simply
clear the TPR shadow bit from the CPU-based execution controls in the vmcs02.
Handle them so that we can remove some XFAILs from vmx.flat.

The CPUID flag ARCH_CAPABILITIES is unconditioinally exposed to host
userspace for all x86 hosts, i.e. KVM advertises ARCH_CAPABILITIES
regardless of hardware support under the pretense that KVM fully
emulates MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES. Unfortunately, only VMX hosts
handle accesses to MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES (despite KVM_GET_MSRS
also reporting MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES for all hosts).
Move the MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES handling to common x86 code so
that it's emulated on AMD hosts.

There are many KVM kernel memory allocations which are tied to the life of
the VM process and should be charged to the VM process's cgroup. If the
allocations aren't tied to the process, the OOM killer will not know
that killing the process will free the associated kernel memory.
Add __GFP_ACCOUNT flags to many of the allocations which are not yet being
charged to the VM process's cgroup.
Tested:
Ran all kvm-unit-tests on a 64 bit Haswell machine, the patch
introduced no new failures.
Ran a kernel memory accounting test which creates a VM to touch
memory and then checks that the kernel memory allocated for the
process is within certain bounds.
With this patch we account for much more of the vmalloc and slab memory
allocated for the VM.

Some Posted-Interrupts from passthrough devices may be lost or
overwritten when the vCPU is in runnable state.
The SN (Suppress Notification) of PID (Posted Interrupt Descriptor) will
be set when the vCPU is preempted (vCPU in KVM_MP_STATE_RUNNABLE state
but not running on physical CPU). If a posted interrupt coming at this
time, the irq remmaping facility will set the bit of PIR (Posted
Interrupt Requests) without ON (Outstanding Notification).
So this interrupt can't be sync to APIC virtualization register and
will not be handled by Guest because ON is zero.

...and remove struct vcpu_vmx's temporary __launched variable.
Eliminating __launched is a bonus, the real motivation is to get to the
point where the only reference to struct vcpu_vmx in the asm code is
to vcpu.arch.regs, which will simplify moving the blob to a proper asm
file. Note that also means this approach is deliberately different than
what is used in nested_vmx_check_vmentry_hw().
Use BL as it is a callee-save register in both 32-bit and 64-bit ABIs,
i.e. it can't be modified by vmx_update_host_rsp(), to avoid having to
temporarily save/restore the launched flag.

Currently, host_rsp is cached on a per-vCPU basis, i.e. it's stored in
struct vcpu_vmx. In non-nested usage the caching is for all intents
and purposes 100% effective, e.g. only the first VMLAUNCH needs to
synchronize VMCS.HOST_RSP since the call stack to vmx_vcpu_run() is
identical each and every time. But when running a nested guest, KVM
must invalidate the cache when switching the current VMCS as it can't
guarantee the new VMCS has the same HOST_RSP as the previous VMCS. In
other words, the cache loses almost all of its efficacy when running a
nested VM.
Move host_rsp to struct vmcs_host_state, which is per-VMCS, so that it
is cached on a per-VMCS basis and restores its 100% hit rate when
nested VMs are in play.
Note that the host_rsp cache for vmcs02 essentially "breaks" when
nested early checks are enabled as nested_vmx_check_vmentry_hw() will
see a different RSP at the time of its VM-Enter. While it's possible
to avoid even that VMCS.HOST_RSP synchronization, e.g. by employing a
dedicated VM-Exit stack, there is little motivation for doing so as
the overhead of two VMWRITEs (~55 cycles) is dwarfed by the overhead
of the extra VMX transition (600+ cycles) and is a proverbial drop in
the ocean relative to the total cost of a nested transtion (10s of
thousands of cycles).

Transitioning to/from a VMX guest requires KVM to manually save/load
the bulk of CPU state that the guest is allowed to direclty access,
e.g. XSAVE state, CR2, GPRs, etc... For obvious reasons, loading the
guest's GPR snapshot prior to VM-Enter and saving the snapshot after
VM-Exit is done via handcoded assembly. The assembly blob is written
as inline asm so that it can easily access KVM-defined structs that
are used to hold guest state, e.g. moving the blob to a standalone
assembly file would require generating defines for struct offsets.
The other relevant aspect of VMX transitions in KVM is the handling of
VM-Exits. KVM doesn't employ a separate VM-Exit handler per se, but
rather treats the VMX transition as a mega instruction (with many side
effects), i.e. sets the VMCS.HOST_RIP to a label immediately following
VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME. The label is then exposed to C code via a global
variable definition in the inline assembly.
Because of the global variable, KVM takes steps to (attempt to) ensure
only a single instance of the owning C function, e.g. vmx_vcpu_run, is
generated by the compiler. The earliest approach placed the inline
assembly in a separate noinline function[1]. Later, the assembly was
folded back into vmx_vcpu_run() and tagged with __noclone[2][3], which
is still used today.
After moving to __noclone, an edge case was encountered where GCC's
-ftracer optimization resulted in the inline assembly blob being
duplicated. This was "fixed" by explicitly disabling -ftracer in the
__noclone definition[4].
Recently, it was found that disabling -ftracer causes build warnings
for unsuspecting users of __noclone[5], and more importantly for KVM,
prevents the compiler for properly optimizing vmx_vcpu_run()[6]. And
perhaps most importantly of all, it was pointed out that there is no
way to prevent duplication of a function with 100% reliability[7],
i.e. more edge cases may be encountered in the future.
So to summarize, the only way to prevent the compiler from duplicating
the global variable definition is to move the variable out of inline
assembly, which has been suggested several times over[1][7][8].
Resolve the aforementioned issues by moving the VMLAUNCH+VRESUME and
VM-Exit "handler" to standalone assembly sub-routines. Moving only
the core VMX transition codes allows the struct indexing to remain as
inline assembly and also allows the sub-routines to be used by
nested_vmx_check_vmentry_hw(). Reusing the sub-routines has a happy
side-effect of eliminating two VMWRITEs in the nested_early_check path
as there is no longer a need to dynamically change VMCS.HOST_RIP.
Note that callers to vmx_vmenter() must account for the CALL modifying
RSP, e.g. must subtract op-size from RSP when synchronizing RSP with
VMCS.HOST_RSP and "restore" RSP prior to the CALL. There are no great
alternatives to fudging RSP. Saving RSP in vmx_enter() is difficult
because doing so requires a second register (VMWRITE does not provide
an immediate encoding for the VMCS field and KVM supports Hyper-V's
memory-based eVMCS ABI). The other more drastic alternative would be
to use eschew VMCS.HOST_RSP and manually save/load RSP using a per-cpu
variable (which can be encoded as e.g. gs:[imm]). But because a valid
stack is needed at the time of VM-Exit (NMIs aren't blocked and a user
could theoretically insert INT3/INT1ICEBRK at the VM-Exit handler), a
dedicated per-cpu VM-Exit stack would be required. A dedicated stack
isn't difficult to implement, but it would require at least one page
per CPU and knowledge of the stack in the dumpstack routines. And in
most cases there is essentially zero overhead in dynamically updating
VMCS.HOST_RSP, e.g. the VMWRITE can be avoided for all but the first
VMLAUNCH unless nested_early_check=1, which is not a fast path. In
other words, avoiding the VMCS.HOST_RSP by using a dedicated stack
would only make the code marginally less ugly while requiring at least
one page per CPU and forcing the kernel to be aware (and approve) of
the VM-Exit stack shenanigans.

Intel Processor Trace virtualization can be work in one
of 2 possible modes:
a. System-Wide mode (default):
When the host configures Intel PT to collect trace packets
of the entire system, it can leave the relevant VMX controls
clear to allow VMX-specific packets to provide information
across VMX transitions.
KVM guest will not aware this feature in this mode and both
host and KVM guest trace will output to host buffer.
b. Host-Guest mode:
Host can configure trace-packet generation while in
VMX non-root operation for guests and root operation
for native executing normally.
Intel PT will be exposed to KVM guest in this mode, and
the trace output to respective buffer of host and guest.
In this mode, tht status of PT will be saved and disabled
before VM-entry and restored after VM-exit if trace
a virtual machine.

Exposing only the function allows @nested, i.e. the module param, to be
statically defined in vmx.c, ensuring we aren't unnecessarily checking
said variable in the nested code. nested_vmx_allowed() is exposed due
to the need to verify nested support in vmx_{get,set}_nested_state().
The downside is that nested_vmx_allowed() likely won't be inlined in
vmx_{get,set}_nested_state(), but that should be a non-issue as they're
not a hot path. Keeping vmx_{get,set}_nested_state() in vmx.c isn't a
viable option as they need access to several nested-only functions.
