Rename "find_msr_entry" to scope it to VMX and to associate it with guest_uret_msrs. Drop the "entry" so that the function name pairs with the existing __vmx_find_uret_msr(), which intentionally uses a double underscore prefix instead of appending "index" or "slot" as those names are already claimed by other pieces of the user return MSR stack.

Add vmx_setup_uret_msr() to wrap the lookup and manipulation of the uret MSRs array during setup_msrs(). In addition to consolidating code, this eliminates move_msr_up(), which while being a very literally description of the function, isn't exacly helpful in understanding the net effect of the code.

Move checking for the existence of MSR_EFER in the uret MSR array into update_transition_efer() so that the lookup and manipulation of the array in setup_msrs() occur back-to-back. This paves the way toward adding a helper to wrap the lookup and manipulation. To avoid unnecessary overhead, defer the lookup until the uret array would actually be modified in update_transition_efer(). EFER obviously exists on CPUs that support the dedicated VMCS fields for switching EFER, and EFER must exist for the guest and host EFER.NX value to diverge, i.e. there is no danger of attempting to read/write EFER when it doesn't exist.

While "save" is more or less accurate when viewed as a literal description of the field, e.g. it holds the number of MSRs that were saved into the array the last time setup_msrs() was invoked, it can easily be misinterpreted by the reader, e.g. as meaning the number of MSRs that were saved from hardware at some point in the past, or as the number of MSRs that need to be saved at some point in the future, both of which are wrong.

Rename the "shared_msrs" mechanism, which is used to defer restoring MSRs that are only consumed when running in userspace, to a more banal but less likely to be confusing "user_return_msrs". The "shared" nomenclature is confusing as it's not obvious who is sharing what, e.g. reasonable interpretations are that the guest value is shared by vCPUs in a VM, or that the MSR value is shared/common to guest and host, both of which are wrong. "shared" is also misleading as the MSR value (in hardware) is not guaranteed to be shared/reused between VMs (if that's indeed the correct interpretation of the name), as the ability to share values between VMs is simply a side effect (albiet a very nice side effect) of deferring restoration of the host value until returning from userspace. "user_return" avoids the above confusion by describing the mechanism itself instead of its effects. Signed-off-by:

Extend the kvm_exit tracepoint to align it with kvm_nested_vmexit in terms of what information is captured. On SVM, add interrupt info and error code, while on VMX it add IDT vectoring and error code. This sets the stage for macrofying the kvm_exit tracepoint definition so that it can be reused for kvm_nested_vmexit without loss of information. Opportunistically stuff a zero for VM_EXIT_INTR_INFO if the VM-Enter failed, as the field is guaranteed to be invalid. Note, it'd be possible to further filter the interrupt/exception fields based on the VM-Exit reason, but the helper is intended only for tracepoints, i.e. an extra VMREAD or two is a non-issue, the failed VM-Enter case is just low hanging fruit.

Explicitly reset the segment cache after stuffing guest segment regs in prepare_vmcs02_rare(). Although the cache is reset when switching to vmcs02, there is nothing that prevents KVM from re-populating the cache prior to writing vmcs02 with vmcs12's values. E.g. if the vCPU is preempted after switching to vmcs02 but before prepare_vmcs02_rare(), kvm_arch_vcpu_put() will dereference GUEST_SS_AR_BYTES via .get_cpl() and cache the stale vmcs02 value. While the current code base only caches stale data in the preemption case, it's theoretically possible future code could read a segment register during the nested flow itself, i.e. this isn't technically illegal behavior in kvm_arch_vcpu_put(), although it did introduce the bug. This manifests as an unexpected nested VM-Enter failure when running with unrestricted guest disabled if the above preemption case coincides with L1 switching L2's CPL, e.g. when switching from a L2 vCPU at CPL3 to to a L2 vCPU at CPL0. stack_segment_valid() will see the new SS_SEL but the old SS_AR_BYTES and incorrectly mark the guest state as invalid due to SS.dpl != SS.rpl. Don't bother updating the cache even though prepare_vmcs02_rare() writes every segment. With unrestricted guest, guest segments are almost never read, let alone L2 guest segments. On the other hand, populating the cache requires a large number of memory writes, i.e. it's unlikely to be a net win. Updating the cache would be a win when unrestricted guest is not supported, as guest_state_valid() will immediately cache all segment registers. But, nested virtualization without unrestricted guest is dirt slow, saving some VMREADs won't change that, and every CPU manufactured in the last decade supports unrestricted guest. In other words, the extra (minor) complexity isn't worth the trouble. Note, kvm_arch_vcpu_put() may see stale data when querying guest CPL depending on when preemption occurs. This is "ok" in that the usage is imperfect by nature, i.e. it's used heuristically to improve performance but doesn't affect functionality. kvm_arch_vcpu_put() could be "fixed" by also disabling preemption while loading segments, but that's pointless and misleading as reading state from kvm_sched_{in,out}() is guaranteed to see stale data in one form or another. E.g. even if all the usage of regs_avail is fixed to call kvm_register_mark_available() after the associated state is set, the individual state might still be stale with respect to the overall vCPU state. I.e. making functional decisions in an asynchronous hook is doomed from the get go. Thankfully KVM doesn't do that.

Condition the accounting of a disallowed huge NX page on the original requested level of the page being greater than the current iterator level. This does two things: accounts the page if and only if a huge page was actually disallowed, and accounts the shadow page if and only if it was the level at which the huge page was disallowed. For the latter case, the previous logic would account all shadow pages used to create the translation for the forced small page, e.g. even PML4, which can't be a huge page on current hardware, would be accounted as having been a disallowed huge page when using 5-level EPT. The overzealous accounting is purely a performance issue, i.e. the recovery thread will spuriously zap shadow pages, but otherwise the bad behavior is harmless.

Detect spurious page faults, e.g. page faults that occur when multiple vCPUs simultaneously access a not-present page, and skip the SPTE write, prefetch, and stats update for spurious faults. Note, the performance benefits of skipping the write and prefetch are likely negligible, and the false positive stats adjustment is probably lost in the noise. The primary motivation is to play nice with TDX's SEPT in the long term. SEAMCALLs (to program SEPT entries) are quite costly, e.g. thousands of cycles, and a spurious SEPT update will result in a SEAMCALL error (which KVM will ideally treat as fatal). Reported-by:

Introduce RET_PF_FIXED and RET_PF_SPURIOUS to provide unique return values instead of overloading RET_PF_RETRY. In the short term, the unique values add clarity to the code and RET_PF_SPURIOUS will be used by set_spte() to avoid unnecessary work for spurious faults. In the long term, TDX will use RET_PF_FIXED to deterministically map memory during pre-boot. The page fault flow may bail early for benign reasons, e.g. if the mmu_notifier fires for an unrelated address. With only RET_PF_RETRY, it's impossible for the caller to distinguish between "cool, page is mapped" and "darn, need to try again", and thus cannot handle benign cases like the mmu_notifier retry.

Explicitly check for RET_PF_EMULATE instead of implicitly doing the same by checking for !RET_PF_RETRY (RET_PF_INVALID is handled earlier). This will adding new RET_PF_ types in future patches without breaking the emulation path. No functional change intended. Signed-off-by:
