Referring to the "VIRTUALIZING MSR-BASED APIC ACCESSES" chapter of the
SDM, when "virtualize x2APIC mode" is 1 and "APIC-register
virtualization" is 0, a RDMSR of 808H should return the VTPR from the
virtual APIC page.
However, for nested, KVM currently fails to disable the read intercept
for this MSR. This means that a RDMSR exit takes precedence over
"virtualize x2APIC mode", and KVM passes through L1's TPR to L2,
instead of sourcing the value from L2's virtual APIC page.
This patch fixes the issue by disabling the read intercept, in VMCS02,
for the VTPR when "APIC-register virtualization" is 0.
The issue described above and fix prescribed here, were verified with
a related patch in kvm-unit-tests titled "Test VMX's virtualize x2APIC
mode w/ nested".

The nested_vmx_prepare_msr_bitmap() function doesn't directly guard the
x2APIC MSR intercepts with the "virtualize x2APIC mode" MSR. As a
result, we discovered the potential for a buggy or malicious L1 to get
access to L0's x2APIC MSRs, via an L2, as follows.
1. L1 executes WRMSR(IA32_SPEC_CTRL, 1). This causes the spec_ctrl
variable, in nested_vmx_prepare_msr_bitmap() to become true.
2. L1 disables "virtualize x2APIC mode" in VMCS12.
3. L1 enables "APIC-register virtualization" in VMCS12.
Now, KVM will set VMCS02's x2APIC MSR intercepts from VMCS12, and then
set "virtualize x2APIC mode" to 0 in VMCS02. Oops.
This patch closes the leak by explicitly guarding VMCS02's x2APIC MSR
intercepts with VMCS12's "virtualize x2APIC mode" control.
The scenario outlined above and fix prescribed here, were verified with
a related patch in kvm-unit-tests titled "Add leak scenario to

Most (all?) x86 platforms provide a port IO based reset mechanism, e.g.
OUT 92h or CF9h. Userspace may emulate said mechanism, i.e. reset a
vCPU in response to KVM_EXIT_IO, without explicitly announcing to KVM
that it is doing a reset, e.g. Qemu jams vCPU state and resumes running.
To avoid corruping %rip after such a reset, commit 0967b7bf1c ("KVM:
Skip pio instruction when it is emulated, not executed") changed the
behavior of PIO handlers, i.e. today's "fast" PIO handling to skip the
instruction prior to exiting to userspace. Full emulation doesn't need
such tricks becase re-emulating the instruction will naturally handle
%rip being changed to point at the reset vector.
Updating %rip prior to executing to userspace has several drawbacks:
- Userspace sees the wrong %rip on the exit, e.g. if PIO emulation
fails it will likely yell about the wrong address.
- Single step exits to userspace for are effectively dropped as
KVM_EXIT_DEBUG is overwritten with KVM_EXIT_IO.
- Behavior of PIO emulation is different depending on whether it
goes down the fast path or the slow path.
Rather than skip the PIO instruction before exiting to userspace,
snapshot the linear %rip and cancel PIO completion if the current
value does not match the snapshot. For a 64-bit vCPU, i.e. the most
common scenario, the snapshot and comparison has negligible overhead
as VMCS.GUEST_RIP will be cached regardless, i.e. there is no extra
VMREAD in this case.
All other alternatives to snapshotting the linear %rip that don't
rely on an explicit reset announcenment suffer from one corner case
or another. For example, canceling PIO completion on any write to
%rip fails if userspace does a save/restore of %rip, and attempting to
avoid that issue by canceling PIO only if %rip changed then fails if PIO
collides with the reset %rip. Attempting to zero in on the exact reset
vector won't work for APs, which means adding more hooks such as the
vCPU's MP_STATE, and so on and so forth.
Checking for a linear %rip match technically suffers from corner cases,
e.g. userspace could theoretically rewrite the underlying code page and
expect a different instruction to execute, or the guest hardcodes a PIO
reset at 0xfffffff0, but those are far, far outside of what can be
considered normal operation.

When userspace initializes guest vCPUs it may want to zero all supported
MSRs including Hyper-V related ones including HV_X64_MSR_STIMERn_CONFIG/
HV_X64_MSR_STIMERn_COUNT. With commit f3b138c5d8 ("kvm/x86: Update SynIC
timers on guest entry only") we began doing stimer_mark_pending()
unconditionally on every config change.
The issue I'm observing manifests itself as following:
- Qemu writes 0 to STIMERn_{CONFIG,COUNT} MSRs and marks all stimers as
pending in stimer_pending_bitmap, arms KVM_REQ_HV_STIMER;
- kvm_hv_has_stimer_pending() starts returning true;
- kvm_vcpu_has_events() starts returning true;
- kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable() starts returning true;
- when kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() gets into
(vcpu->arch.mp_state == KVM_MP_STATE_UNINITIALIZED) case:
- kvm_vcpu_block() gets in 'kvm_vcpu_check_block(vcpu) < 0' and returns
immediately, avoiding normal wait path;
- -EAGAIN is returned from kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() immediately forcing
userspace to retry.
So instead of normal wait path we get a busy loop on all secondary vCPUs
before they get INIT signal. This seems to be undesirable, especially given
that this happens even when Hyper-V extensions are not used.
Generally, it seems to be pointless to mark an stimer as pending in
stimer_pending_bitmap and arm KVM_REQ_HV_STIMER as the only thing
kvm_hv_process_stimers() will do is clear the corresponding bit. We may
just not mark disabled timers as pending instead.

kvm_flush_remote_tlbs_with_address falls back to kvm_flush_remote_tlbs.
This changes the behavior of many functions that indirectly use
slot_handle_level_range, iff the range based flushes are enabled. The
only potential problem I see with this is that kvm->tlbs_dirty will be
cleared less often, however the only caller of slot_handle_level_range that

The cr4_pae flag is a bit of a misnomer, its purpose is really to track
whether the guest PTE that is being shadowed is a 4-byte entry or an
8-byte entry. Prior to supporting nested EPT, the size of the gpte was
reflected purely by CR4.PAE. KVM fudged things a bit for direct sptes,
but it was mostly harmless since the size of the gpte never mattered.
Now that a spte may be tracking an indirect EPT entry, relying on
CR4.PAE is wrong and ill-named.
For direct shadow pages, force the gpte_size to '1' as they are always
8-byte entries; EPT entries can only be 8-bytes and KVM always uses
8-byte entries for NPT and its identity map (when running with EPT but
not unrestricted guest).
Likewise, nested EPT entries are always 8-bytes. Nested EPT presents a
unique scenario as the size of the entries are not dictated by CR4.PAE,
but neither is the shadow page a direct map. To handle this scenario,
set cr0_wp=1 and smap_andnot_wp=1, an otherwise impossible combination,
to denote a nested EPT shadow page. Use the information to avoid
incorrectly zapping an unsync'd indirect page in __kvm_sync_page().
Providing a consistent and accurate gpte_size fixes a bug reported by
Vitaly where fast_cr3_switch() always fails when switching from L2 to
L1 as kvm_mmu_get_page() would force role.cr4_pae=0 for direct pages,
whereas kvm_calc_mmu_role_common() would set it according to CR4.PAE.

cpuid changes VM's maximum physical address width, reconfiguration

reset its shadow_root_level when this value is changed.

Commit 14c07ad89f ("x86/kvm/mmu: introduce guest_mmu") brought one subtle
change: previously, when switching back from L2 to L1, we were resetting
MMU hooks (like mmu->get_cr3()) in kvm_init_mmu() called from
nested_vmx_load_cr3() and now we do that in nested_ept_uninit_mmu_context()
when we re-target vcpu->arch.mmu pointer.
The change itself looks logical: if nested_ept_init_mmu_context() changes
something than nested_ept_uninit_mmu_context() restores it back. There is,
however, one thing: the following call chain:
nested_vmx_load_cr3()
kvm_mmu_new_cr3()
__kvm_mmu_new_cr3()
fast_cr3_switch()
cached_root_available()
now happens with MMU hooks pointing to the new MMU (root MMU in our case)
while previously it was happening with the old one. cached_root_available()
tries to stash current root but it is incorrect to read current CR3 with
mmu->get_cr3(), we need to use old_mmu->get_cr3() which in case we're
switching from L2 to L1 is guest_mmu. (BTW, in shadow page tables case this
is a non-issue because we don't switch MMU).
While we could've tried to guess that we're switching between MMUs and call
the right ->get_cr3() from cached_root_available() this seems to be overly
complicated. Instead, just stash the corresponding CR3 when setting
root_hpa and make cached_root_available() use the stashed value.

Paolo expressed a concern that kvm_mmu_zap_mmio_sptes() could have a
quadratic runtime[1], i.e. restarting the spte walk while zapping only
MMIO sptes could result in re-walking large portions of the list over
and over due to the non-MMIO sptes encountered before the restart not
being removed.
At the time, the concern was legitimate as the walk was restarted when
any spte was zapped. But that is no longer the case as the walk is now
restarted iff one or more children have been zapped, which is necessary
because zapping children makes the active_mmu_pages list unstable.
Furthermore, it should be impossible for an MMIO spte to have children,
i.e. zapping an MMIO spte should never result in zapping children. In
other words, kvm_mmu_zap_mmio_sptes() should never restart its walk, and
so should always execute in linear time. WARN if this assertion fails.
Although it should never be needed, leave the restart logic in place.
In normal operation, the cost is at worst an extra CMP+Jcc, and if for
some reason the list does become unstable, not restarting would likely
crash KVM, or worse, the kernel.

The return value of kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page() has evolved to become
overloaded to convey two separate pieces of information. 1) was at
least one page zapped and 2) has the list of MMU pages become unstable.
In it's original incarnation (as kvm_mmu_zap_page()), there was no
return value at all. Commit 0738541396 ("KVM: MMU: awareness of new
kvm_mmu_zap_page behaviour") added a return value in preparation for
commit 4731d4c7a0 ("KVM: MMU: out of sync shadow core"). Although
the return value was of type 'int', it was actually used as a boolean
to indicate whether or not active_mmu_pages may have become unstable due
to zapping children. Walking a list with list_for_each_entry_safe()
only protects against deleting/moving the current entry, i.e. zapping a
child page would break iteration due to modifying any number of entries.
Later, commit 60c8aec6e2 ("KVM: MMU: use page array in unsync walk")
modified mmu_zap_unsync_children() to return an approximation of the
number of children zapped. This was not intentional, it was simply a
side effect of how the code was written.
The unintented side affect was then morphed into an actual feature by
commit 77662e0028 ("KVM: MMU: fix kvm_mmu_zap_page() and its calling
path"), which modified kvm_mmu_change_mmu_pages() to use the number of
zapped pages when determining the number of MMU pages in use by the VM.
Finally, commit 54a4f0239f ("KVM: MMU: make kvm_mmu_zap_page() return
the number of pages it actually freed") added the initial page to the
return value to make its behavior more consistent with what most users
would expect. Incorporating the initial parent page in the return value
of kvm_mmu_zap_page() breaks the original usage of restarting a list
walk on a non-zero return value to handle a potentially unstable list,
i.e. walks will unnecessarily restart when any page is zapped.
Fix this by restoring the original behavior of kvm_mmu_zap_page(), i.e.
return a boolean to indicate that the list may be unstable and move the
number of zapped children to a dedicated parameter. Since the majority
of callers to kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page() don't care about either return
value, preserve the current definition of kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page() by
making it a wrapper of a new helper, __kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page(). This
avoids having to update every call site and also provides cleaner code
for functions that only care about the number of pages zapped.

Call cond_resched_lock() when zapping all sptes to reschedule if needed
or to release and reacquire mmu_lock in case of contention. There is no
need to flush or zap when temporarily dropping mmu_lock as zapping all
sptes is done only when the owning userspace VMM has exited or when the
VM is being destroyed, i.e. there is no interplay with memslots or MMIO
generations to worry about.
Be paranoid and restart the walk if mmu_lock is dropped to avoid any

...to guarantee forward progress. When zapped, root pages are marked
invalid and moved to the head of the active pages list until they are
explicitly freed. Theoretically, having unzappable root pages at the
head of the list could prevent kvm_mmu_zap_all() from making forward
progress were a future patch to add a loop restart after processing a
page, e.g. to drop mmu_lock on contention.
Although kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page() can theoretically take action on
invalid pages, e.g. to zap unsync children, functionally it's not
necessary (root pages will be re-zapped when freed) and practically
speaking the odds of e.g. @unsync or @unsync_children becoming %true
while zapping all pages is basically nil.

Revert to a slow kvm_mmu_zap_all() for kvm_arch_flush_shadow_all().
Flushing all shadow entries is only done during VM teardown, i.e.
kvm_arch_flush_shadow_all() is only called when the associated MM struct
is being released or when the VM instance is being freed.
Although the performance of teardown itself isn't critical, KVM should
still voluntarily schedule to play nice with the rest of the kernel;
but that can be done without the fast invalidate mechanism in a future
patch.

Call cond_resched_lock() when zapping MMIO to reschedule if needed or to

to flush or zap when temporarily dropping mmu_lock as zapping MMIO sptes
is done when holding the memslots lock and with the "update in-progress"

...now that KVM won't explode by moving it out of bit 0. Using bit 63

The code to propagate the memslots generation number into MMIO sptes is
a bit convoluted. The "what" is relatively straightfoward, e.g. the
comment explaining which bits go where is quite readable, but the "how"
requires a lot of staring to understand what is happening. For example,
'MMIO_GEN_LOW_SHIFT' is actually used to calculate the high bits of the
spte, while 'MMIO_SPTE_GEN_LOW_SHIFT' is used to calculate the low bits.
Refactor the code to:
- use #defines whose values align with the bits defined in the comment
- use consistent code for both the high and low mask
- explicitly highlight the handling of bit 0 (update in-progress flag)
- explicitly call out that the defines are for MMIO sptes (to avoid
confusion with the per-vCPU MMIO cache, which uses the full memslots
generation)
In addition to making the code a little less magical, this paves the way
for moving the update in-progress flag to bit 63 without having to
simultaneously rewrite all of the MMIO spte code.

KVM currently uses an 'unsigned int' for the MMIO generation number
despite it being derived from the 64-bit memslots generation and
being propagated to (potentially) 64-bit sptes. There is no hidden
agenda behind using an 'unsigned int', it's done simply because the
MMIO generation will never set bits above bit 19.
Passing a u64 will allow the "update in-progress" flag to be relocated
from bit 0 to bit 63 and removes the need to cast the generation back
to a u64 when propagating it to a spte.

KVM uses bit 0 of the memslots generation as an "update in-progress"
flag, which is used by x86 to prevent caching MMIO access while the
memslots are changing. Although the intended behavior is flag-like,
e.g. MMIO sptes intentionally drop the in-progress bit so as to avoid
caching data from in-flux memslots, the implementation oftentimes treats
the bit as part of the generation number itself, e.g. incrementing the
generation increments twice, once to set the flag and once to clear it.
Prior to commit 4bd518f159 ("KVM: use separate generations for
each address space"), incorporating the "update in-progress" bit into
the generation number largely made sense, e.g. "real" generations are
even, "bogus" generations are odd, most code doesn't need to be aware of
the bit, etc...
Now that unique memslots generation numbers are assigned to each address
space, stealthing the in-progress status into the generation number
results in a wide variety of subtle code, e.g. kvm_create_vm() jumps
over bit 0 when initializing the memslots generation without any hint as
to why.
Explicitly define the flag and convert as much code as possible (which
isn't much) to actually treat it like a flag. This paves the way for
eventually using a different bit for "update in-progress" so that it can
be a flag in truth instead of a awkward extension to the generation
number.

When installing new memslots, KVM sets bit 0 of the generation number to
indicate that an update is in-progress. Until the update is complete,
there are no guarantees as to whether a vCPU will see the old or the new
memslots. Explicity prevent caching MMIO accesses so as to avoid using
an access cached from the old memslots after the new memslots have been
installed.
Note that it is unclear whether or not disabling caching during the
update window is strictly necessary as there is no definitive
documentation as to what ordering guarantees KVM provides with respect
to updating memslots. That being said, the MMIO spte code does not
allow reusing sptes created while an update is in-progress, and the
associated documentation explicitly states:
We do not want to use an MMIO sptes created with an odd generation
number, ... If KVM is unlucky and creates an MMIO spte while the
low bit is 1, the next access to the spte will always be a cache miss.
At the very least, disabling the per-vCPU MMIO cache during updates will
make its behavior consistent with the MMIO spte behavior and
documentation.

The check to detect a wrap of the MMIO generation explicitly looks for a
generation number of zero. Now that unique memslots generation numbers
are assigned to each address space, only address space 0 will get a
generation number of exactly zero when wrapping. E.g. when address
space 1 goes from 0x7fffe to 0x80002, the MMIO generation number will
wrap to 0x2. Adjust the MMIO generation to strip the address space
modifier prior to checking for a wrap.

kvm_arch_memslots_updated() is at this point in time an x86-specific
hook for handling MMIO generation wraparound. x86 stashes 19 bits of
the memslots generation number in its MMIO sptes in order to avoid
full page fault walks for repeat faults on emulated MMIO addresses.
Because only 19 bits are used, wrapping the MMIO generation number is
possible, if unlikely. kvm_arch_memslots_updated() alerts x86 that
the generation has changed so that it can invalidate all MMIO sptes in
case the effective MMIO generation has wrapped so as to avoid using a
stale spte, e.g. a (very) old spte that was created with generation==0.
Given that the purpose of kvm_arch_memslots_updated() is to prevent
consuming stale entries, it needs to be called before the new generation
is propagated to memslots. Invalidating the MMIO sptes after updating
memslots means that there is a window where a vCPU could dereference
the new memslots generation, e.g. 0, and incorrectly reuse an old MMIO
spte that was created with (pre-wrap) generation==0.
