Add hooks to handle the invalidate range family of MMU notifiers. Tested by running kvm-unit-tests and KVM selftests on an Intel Haswell machine. This series introduced no new failures.

The existing bookkeeping done by KVM when a PTE is changed is spread around several functions. This makes it difficult to remember all the stats, bitmaps, and other subsystems that need to be updated whenever a PTE is modified. When a non-leaf PTE is marked non-present or becomes a leaf PTE, page table memory must also be freed. To simplify the MMU and facilitate the use of atomic operations on SPTEs in future patches, create functions to handle some of the bookkeeping required as a result of a change.

Implement a similar, but separate system for root page allocation to that of the x86 shadow paging implementation.

The TDP MMU offers an alternative mode of operation to the x86 shadow paging based MMU, optimized for running an L1 guest with TDP. The TDP MMU will require new fields that need to be initialized and torn down. Add hooks into the existing KVM MMU initialization process to do that initialization / cleanup. Currently the initialization and cleanup fucntions do not do very much, however more operations will be added in future patches.

Add FSGSBASE to the set of possible guest-owned CR4 bits, i.e. let the guest own it on VMX. KVM never queries the guest's CR4.FSGSBASE value, thus there is no reason to force VM-Exit on FSGSBASE being toggled. Note, because FSGSBASE is conditionally available, this is dependent on recent changes to intercept reserved CR4 bits and to update the CR4 guest/host mask in response to guest CPUID changes.

If a feature is supported by the CPU but is not exposed to the guest, and its associated CR4 bit is not intercepted by KVM by default, then KVM will fail to inject a #GP if the guest sets the CR4 bit without triggering an exit, e.g. by toggling only the bit in question.

Move the call to kvm_x86_ops.vcpu_after_set_cpuid() to the very end of kvm_vcpu_after_set_cpuid() to allow the vendor implementation to react to changes made by the common code. In the near future, this will be used by VMX to update its CR4 guest/host masks to account for reserved bits. In the long term, SGX support will update the allowed XCR0 mask for enclaves based on the vCPU's allowed XCR0. vcpu_after_set_cpuid() (nee kvm_update_cpuid()) was originally added by commit 2acf923e ("KVM: VMX: Enable XSAVE/XRSTOR for guest"), and was called separately after kvm_x86_ops.vcpu_after_set_cpuid() (nee kvm_x86_ops->cpuid_update()). There is no indication that the placement of the common code updates after the vendor updates was anything more than a "new function at the end" decision. Inspection of the current code reveals no dependency on kvm_x86_ops' vcpu_after_set_cpuid() in kvm_vcpu_after_set_cpuid() or any of its helpers. The bulk of the common code depends only on the guest's CPUID configuration, kvm_mmu_reset_context() does not consume dynamic vendor state, and there are no collisions between kvm_pmu_refresh() and VMX's update of PT state.

Unconditionally intercept changes to CR4.LA57 so that KVM correctly injects a #GP fault if the guest attempts to set CR4.LA57 when it's supported in hardware but not exposed to the guest. Long term, KVM needs to properly handle CR4 bits that can be under guest control but also may be reserved from the guest's perspective. But, KVM currently sets the CR4 guest/host mask only during vCPU creation, and reworking flows to change that will take a bit of elbow grease. Even if/when generic support for intercepting reserved bits exists, it's probably not worth letting the guest set CR4.LA57 directly. LA57 can't be toggled while long mode is enabled, thus it's all but guaranteed to be set once (maybe twice, e.g. by BIOS and kernel) during boot and never touched again. On the flip side, letting the guest own CR4.LA57 may incur extra VMREADs. In other words, this temporary "hack" is probably also the right long term fix.

The function amd_ir_set_vcpu_affinity makes use of the parameter struct amd_iommu_pi_data.prev_ga_tag to determine if it should delete struct amd_iommu_pi_data from a list when not running in AVIC mode. However, prev_ga_tag is initialized only when AVIC is enabled. The non-zero uninitialized value can cause unintended code path, which ends up making use of the struct vcpu_svm.ir_list and ir_list_lock without being initialized (since they are intended only for the AVIC case).

The current limit for guest CPUID leaves (KVM_MAX_CPUID_ENTRIES, 80) is reported to be insufficient but before we bump it let's switch to allocating vcpu->arch.cpuid_entries[] array dynamically. Currently, 'struct kvm_cpuid_entry2' is 40 bytes so vcpu->arch.cpuid_entries is 3200 bytes which accounts for 1/4 of the whole 'struct kvm_vcpu_arch' but having it pre-allocated (for all vCPUs which we also pre-allocate) gives us no real benefits. Another plus of the dynamic allocation is that we now do kvm_check_cpuid() check before we assign anything to vcpu->arch.cpuid_nent/cpuid_entries so no changes are made in case the check fails. Opportunistically remove unneeded 'out' labels from kvm_vcpu_ioctl_set_cpuid()/kvm_vcpu_ioctl_set_cpuid2() and return directly whenever possible. Signed-off-by:

As a preparatory step to allocating vcpu->arch.cpuid_entries dynamically make kvm_check_cpuid() check work with an arbitrary 'struct kvm_cpuid_entry2' array. Currently, when kvm_check_cpuid() fails we reset vcpu->arch.cpuid_nent to 0 and this is kind of weird, i.e. one would expect CPUIDs to remain unchanged when KVM_SET_CPUID[2] call fails. No functional change intended. It would've been possible to move the updated kvm_check_cpuid() in kvm_vcpu_ioctl_set_cpuid2() and check the supplied input before we start updating vcpu->arch.cpuid_entries/nent but we can't do the same in kvm_vcpu_ioctl_set_cpuid() as we'll have to copy 'struct kvm_cpuid_entry' entries first. The change will be made when vcpu->arch.cpuid_entries[] array becomes allocated dynamically. Suggested-by:

KVM unconditionally provides PV features to the guest, regardless of the configured CPUID. An unwitting guest that doesn't check KVM_CPUID_FEATURES before use could access paravirt features that userspace did not intend to provide. Fix this by checking the guest's CPUID before performing any paravirtual operations. Introduce a capability, KVM_CAP_ENFORCE_PV_FEATURE_CPUID, to gate the aforementioned enforcement. Migrating a VM from a host w/o this patch to a host with this patch could silently change the ABI exposed to the guest, warranting that we default to the old behavior and opt-in for the new one.

Allowing userspace to intercept reads to x2APIC MSRs when APICV is fully enabled for the guest simply can't work. But more in general, the LAPIC could be set to in-kernel after the MSR filter is setup and allowing accesses by userspace would be very confusing. We could in principle allow userspace to intercept reads and writes to TPR, and writes to EOI and SELF_IPI, but while that could be made it work, it would still be silly.
