Drop unnecessary MSR bitmap updates during nested transitions, as L1's APIC_BASE MSR is not modified by the standard VM-Enter/VM-Exit flows, and L2's MSR bitmap is managed separately. In the unlikely event that L1 is pathological and loads APIC_BASE via the VM-Exit load list, KVM will handle updating the bitmap in its normal WRMSR flows. Signed-off-by:

Remove an unnecessary MSR bitmap refresh during vCPU RESET/INIT. In both cases, the MSR bitmap already has the desired values and state. At RESET, the vCPU is guaranteed to be running with x2APIC disabled, the x2APIC MSRs are guaranteed to be intercepted due to the MSR bitmap being initialized to all ones by alloc_loaded_vmcs(), and vmx->msr_bitmap_mode is guaranteed to be zero, i.e. reflecting x2APIC disabled. At INIT, the APIC_BASE MSR is not modified, thus there can't be any change in x2APIC state. Signed-off-by:

Move the setting of CR0, CR4, EFER, RFLAGS, and RIP from vendor code to common x86. VMX and SVM now have near-identical sequences, the only difference being that VMX updates the exception bitmap. Updating the bitmap on SVM is unnecessary, but benign. Unfortunately it can't be left behind in VMX due to the need to update exception intercepts after the control registers are set. Reviewed-by:

When emulating vCPU INIT, do not unconditionally refresh the list of user return MSRs that need to be loaded into hardware when running the guest. Unconditionally refreshing the list is confusing, as the vast majority of MSRs are not modified on INIT. The real motivation is to handle the case where an INIT during long mode obviates the need to load the SYSCALL MSRs, and that is handled as needed by vmx_set_efer(). Signed-off-by:

After a CPUID update, refresh the list of user return MSRs that are loaded into hardware when running the vCPU. This is necessary to handle the oddball case where userspace exposes X86_FEATURE_RDTSCP to the guest after the vCPU is running.

Split setup_msrs() into vmx_setup_uret_msrs() and an open coded refresh of the MSR bitmap, and skip the latter when refreshing the user return MSRs during an EFER load. Only the x2APIC MSRs are dynamically exposed and hidden, and those are not affected by a change in EFER. Signed-off-by:

Move code to stuff vmcb->save.dr6 to its architectural init value from svm_vcpu_reset() into sev_es_sync_vmsa(). Except for protected guests, a.k.a. SEV-ES guests, vmcb->save.dr6 is set during VM-Enter, i.e. the extra write is unnecessary. For SEV-ES, stuffing save->dr6 handles a theoretical case where the VMSA could be encrypted before the first KVM_RUN. Signed-off-by:

Drop direct writes to vmcb->save.cr4 during vCPU RESET/INIT, as the values being written are fully redundant with respect to svm_set_cr4(vcpu, 0) a few lines earlier. Note, svm_set_cr4() also correctly forces X86_CR4_PAE when NPT is disabled. No functional change intended. Reviewed-by:

Use the "internal" variants of setting segment registers when stuffing state on nested VM-Exit in order to skip the "emulation required" updates. VM-Exit must always go to protected mode, and all segments are mostly hardcoded (to valid values) on VM-Exit. The bits of the segments that aren't hardcoded are explicitly checked during VM-Enter, e.g. the selector RPLs must all be zero. Signed-off-by:

Don't refresh "emulation required" when stuffing segments during transitions to/from real mode when running without unrestricted guest. The checks are unnecessary as vmx_set_cr0() unconditionally rechecks "emulation required". They also happen to be broken, as enter_pmode() and enter_rmode() run with a stale vcpu->arch.cr0.

Move the long mode and EPT w/o unrestricted guest side effect processing down in vmx_set_cr0() so that the EPT && !URG case doesn't have to stuff vcpu->arch.cr0 early. This also fixes an oddity where CR0 might not be marked available, i.e. the early vcpu->arch.cr0 write would appear to be in danger of being overwritten, though that can't actually happen in the current code since CR0.TS is the only guest-owned bit, and CR0.TS is not read by vmx_set_cr4().

Skip the MMU permission_fault() check if paging is disabled when verifying the cached MMIO GVA is usable. The check is unnecessary and can theoretically get a false positive since the MMU doesn't zero out "permissions" or "pkru_mask" when guest paging is disabled. The obvious alternative is to zero out all the bitmasks when configuring nonpaging MMUs, but that's unnecessary work and doesn't align with the MMU's general approach of doing as little as possible for flows that are supposed to be unreachable. This is nearly a nop as the false positive is nothing more than an insignificant performance blip, and more or less limited to string MMIO when L1 is running with paging disabled. KVM doesn't cache MMIO if L2 is active with nested TDP since the "GVA" is really an L2 GPA. If L2 is active without nested TDP, then paging can't be disabled as neither VMX nor SVM allows entering the guest without paging of some form. Jumping back to L1 with paging disabled, in that case direct_map is true and so KVM will use CR2 as a GPA; the only time it doesn't is if the fault from the emulator doesn't match or emulator_can_use_gpa(), and that fails only on string MMIO and other instructions with multiple memory operands.

Tweak the logic for grabbing vmcs.GUEST_CR3 in vmx_cache_reg() to look directly at the execution controls, as opposed to effectively inferring the controls based on vCPUs. Inferring the controls isn't wrong, but it creates a very subtle dependency between the caching logic, the state of vcpu->arch.cr0 (via is_paging()), and the behavior of vmx_set_cr0(). Using the execution controls doesn't completely eliminate the dependency in vmx_set_cr0(), e.g. neglecting to cache CR3 before enabling interception would still break the guest, but it does reduce the code dependency and mostly eliminate the logical dependency (that CR3 loads are intercepted in certain scenarios). Eliminating the subtle read of vcpu->arch.cr0 will also allow for additional cleanup in vmx_set_cr0(). Signed-off-by:

Keep CR3 load/store exiting enable as needed when running L2 in order to honor L1's desires. This fixes a largely theoretical bug where L1 could intercept CR3 but not CR0.PG and end up not getting the desired CR3 exits when L2 enables paging. In other words, the existing !is_paging() check inadvertantly handles the normal case for L2 where vmx_set_cr0() is called during VM-Enter, which is guaranteed to run with paging enabled, and thus will never clear the bits. Removing the !is_paging() check will also allow future consolidation and cleanup of the related code. From a performance perspective, this is all a nop, as the VMCS controls shadow will optimize away the VMWRITE when the controls are in the desired state. Add a comment explaining why CR3 is intercepted, with a big disclaimer about not querying the old CR3. Because vmx_set_cr0() is used for flows that are not directly tied to MOV CR3, e.g. vCPU RESET/INIT and nested VM-Enter, it's possible that is_paging() is not synchronized with CR3 load/store exiting. This is actually guaranteed in the current code, as KVM starts with CR3 interception disabled. Obviously that can be fixed, but there's no good reason to play whack-a-mole, and it tends to end poorly, e.g. descriptor table exiting for UMIP emulation attempted to be precise in the past and ended up botching the interception toggling.

Move the CR0/CR3/CR4 shenanigans for EPT without unrestricted guest back into vmx_set_cr0(). This will allow a future patch to eliminate the rather gross stuffing of vcpu->arch.cr0 in the paging transition cases by snapshotting the old CR0. No functional change intended. Signed-off-by:

Remove a bogus write to vcpu->arch.cr0 that immediately precedes vmx_set_cr0() during vCPU RESET/INIT. For RESET, this is a nop since the "old" CR0 value is meaningless. But for INIT, if the vCPU is coming from paging enabled mode, crushing vcpu->arch.cr0 will cause the various is_paging() checks in vmx_set_cr0() to get false negatives. For the exit_lmode() case, the false negative is benign as vmx_set_efer() is called immediately after vmx_set_cr0(). For EPT without unrestricted guest, the false negative will cause KVM to unnecessarily run with CR3 load/store exiting. But again, this is benign, albeit sub-optimal. Reviewed-by:

Consolidate the APIC base RESET logic, which is currently spread out across both x86 and vendor code. For an in-kernel APIC, the vendor code is redundant. But for a userspace APIC, KVM relies on the vendor code to initialize vcpu->arch.apic_base.

Write vcpu->arch.apic_base directly instead of bouncing through kvm_set_apic_base(). This is a glorified nop, and is a step towards cleaning up the mess that is local APIC creation. When using an in-kernel APIC, kvm_create_lapic() explicitly sets vcpu->arch.apic_base to MSR_IA32_APICBASE_ENABLE to avoid its own kvm_lapic_set_base() call in kvm_lapic_reset() from triggering state changes. That call during RESET exists purely to set apic->base_address to the default base value. As a result, by the time VMX gets control, the only missing piece is the BSP bit being set for the reset BSP. For a userspace APIC, there are no side effects to process (for the APIC). In both cases, the call to kvm_update_cpuid_runtime() is a nop because the vCPU hasn't yet been exposed to userspace, i.e. there can't be any CPUID entries. No functional change intended.

Don't set the BSP bit in vcpu->arch.apic_base when the local APIC is managed by userspace. Forcing all vCPUs to be BSPs is non-sensical, and was dead code when it was added by commit 97222cc8 ("KVM: Emulate local APIC in kernel"). At the time, kvm_lapic_set_base() was invoked if and only if the local APIC was in-kernel (and it couldn't be called before the vCPU created its APIC). kvm_lapic_set_base() eventually gained generic usage, but the latent bug escaped notice because the only true consumer would be the guest itself in the form of an explicit RDMSRs on APs. Out of Linux, SeaBIOS, and EDK2/OVMF, only OVMF consumes the BSP bit from the APIC_BASE MSR. For the vast majority of usage in OVMF, BSP confusion would be benign. OVMF's BSP election upon SMI rendezvous might be broken, but practically no one runs KVM with an out-of-kernel local APIC, let alone does so while utilizing SMIs with OVMF.

Make vcpu0 the arbitrary owner of the PIT, as was intended when PIT migration was added by commit 2f599714 ("KVM: migrate PIT timer"). The PIT was unintentionally turned into being owned by the BSP by commit c5af89b6 ("KVM: Introduce kvm_vcpu_is_bsp() function."), and was then unintentionally converted to a shared ownership model when kvm_vcpu_is_bsp() was modified to check the APIC base MSR instead of hardcoding vcpu0 as the BSP. Functionally, this just means the PIT's hrtimer is migrated less often. The real motivation is to remove the usage of kvm_vcpu_is_bsp(), so that more legacy/broken crud can be removed in a future patch.

Remove a BSP APIC update in kvm_lapic_reset() that is a glorified and confusing nop. When the code was originally added, kvm_vcpu_is_bsp() queried kvm->arch.bsp_vcpu, i.e. the intent was to set the BSP bit in the BSP vCPU's APIC. But, stuffing the BSP bit at INIT was wrong since the guest can change its BSP(s); this was fixed by commit 58d269d8 ("KVM: x86: BSP in MSR_IA32_APICBASE is writable"). In other words, kvm_vcpu_is_bsp() is now purely a reflection of vcpu->arch.apic_base.MSR_IA32_APICBASE_BSP, thus the update will always set the current value and kvm_lapic_set_base() is effectively a nop if the new and old values match. The RESET case, which does need to stuff the BSP for the reset vCPU, is handled by vendor code (though this will soon be moved to common code). No functional change intended. Reviewed-by:

Drop an explicit MMU reset when entering emulated real mode now that the vCPU INIT/RESET path correctly handles conditional MMU resets, e.g. if INIT arrives while the vCPU is in 64-bit mode. Note, while there are multiple other direct calls to vmx_set_cr0(), i.e. paths that change CR0 without invoking kvm_post_set_cr0(), only the INIT emulation can reach enter_rmode(). CLTS emulation only toggles CR.TS, VM-Exit (and late VM-Fail) emulation cannot architecturally transition to Real Mode, and VM-Enter to Real Mode is possible if and only if Unrestricted Guest is enabled (exposed to L1).

At vCPU RESET/INIT (mostly RESET), stuff EDX with KVM's hardcoded, default Family-Model-Stepping ID of 0x600 if CPUID.0x1 isn't defined. At RESET, the CPUID lookup is guaranteed to "miss" because KVM emulates RESET before exposing the vCPU to userspace, i.e. userspace can't possibly have done set the vCPU's CPUID model, and thus KVM will always write '0'. At INIT, using 0x600 is less bad than using '0'. While initializing EDX to '0' is _extremely_ unlikely to be noticed by the guest, let alone break the guest, and can be overridden by userspace for the RESET case, using 0x600 is preferable as it will allow consolidating the relevant VMX and SVM RESET/INIT logic in the future. And, digging through old specs suggests that neither Intel nor AMD have ever shipped a CPU that initialized EDX to '0' at RESET. Regarding 0x600 as KVM's default Family, it is a sane default and in many ways the most appropriate. Prior to the 386 implementations, DX was undefined at RESET. With the 386, 486, 586/P5, and 686/P6/Athlon, both Intel and AMD set EDX to 3, 4, 5, and 6 respectively. AMD switched to using '15' as its primary Family with the introduction of AMD64, but Intel has continued using '6' for the last few decades. So, '6' is a valid Family for both Intel and AMD CPUs, is compatible with both 32-bit and 64-bit CPUs (albeit not a perfect fit for 64-bit AMD), and of the common Families (3 - 6), is the best fit with respect to KVM's virtual CPU model. E.g. prior to the P6, Intel CPUs did not have a STI window. Modern operating systems, Linux included, rely on the STI window, e.g. for "safe halt", and KVM unconditionally assumes the virtual CPU has an STI window. Thus enumerating a Family ID of 3, 4, or 5 would be provably wrong. Opportunistically remove a stale comment.

Do not allow an inexact CPUID "match" when querying the guest's CPUID.0x1 to stuff EDX during INIT. In the common case, where the guest CPU model is an AMD variant, allowing an inexact match is a nop since KVM doesn't emulate Intel's goofy "out-of-range" logic for AMD and Hygon. If the vCPU model happens to be an Intel variant, an inexact match is possible if and only if the max CPUID leaf is precisely '0'. Aside from the fact that there's probably no CPU in existence with a single CPUID leaf, if the max CPUID leaf is '0', that means that CPUID.0.EAX is '0', and thus an inexact match for CPUID.0x1.EAX will also yield '0'. So, with lots of twisty logic, no functional change intended. Reviewed-by:

At RESET/INIT, all CPUs that support CPUID set EDX to the FMS enumerated in CPUID.0x1.EAX. If no CPUID match is found, fall back to KVM's default of 0x600 (Family '6'), which is the least awful approximation of KVM's virtual CPU model.

Set L1's LDTR on VM-Exit per the Intel SDM: The host-state area does not contain a selector field for LDTR. LDTR is established as follows on all VM exits: the selector is cleared to 0000H, the segment is marked unusable and is otherwise undefined (although the base address is always canonical). This is likely a benign bug since the LDTR is unusable, as it means the L1 VMM is conditioned to reload its LDTR in order to function properly on bare metal.

Flush the guest's TLB on INIT, as required by Intel's SDM. Although AMD's APM states that the TLBs are unchanged by INIT, it's not clear that that's correct as the APM also states that the TLB is flush on "External initialization of the processor." Regardless, relying on the guest to be paranoid is unnecessarily risky, while an unnecessary flush is benign from a functional perspective and likely has no measurable impact on guest performance. Note, as of the April 2021 version of Intels' SDM, it also contradicts itself with respect to TLB flushing. The overview of INIT explicitly calls out the TLBs as being invalidated, while a table later in the same section says they are unchanged. 9.1 INITIALIZATION OVERVIEW: The major difference is that during an INIT, the internal caches, MSRs, MTRRs, and x87 FPU state are left unchanged (although, the TLBs and BTB are invalidated as with a hardware reset) Table 9-1: Register Power up Reset INIT Data and Code Cache, TLBs: Invalid[6] Invalid[6] Unchanged Given Core2's erratum[*] about global TLB entries not being flush on INIT, it's safe to assume that the table is simply wrong. AZ28. INIT Does Not Clear Global Entries in the TLB Problem: INIT may not flush a TLB entry when: • The processor is in protected mode with paging enabled and the page global enable flag is set (PGE bit of CR4 register) • G bit for the page table entry is set • TLB entry is present in TLB when INIT occurs • Software may encounter unexpected page fault or incorrect address translation due to a TLB entry erroneously left in TLB after INIT. Workaround: Write to CR3, CR4 (setting bits PSE, PGE or PAE) or CR0 (setting bits PG or PE) registers before writing to memory early in BIOS code to clear all the global entries from TLB.

Special case of disabling the APICv on the current vCPU right away in kvm_request_apicv_update doesn't bring much benefit vs raising KVM_REQ_APICV_UPDATE on it instead, since this request will be processed on the next entry to the guest. (the comment about having another #VMEXIT is wrong). It also hides various assumptions that APIVc enable state matches the APICv inhibit state, as this special case only makes those states match on the current vCPU. Previous patches fixed few such assumptions so now it should be safe to drop this special case. Signed-off-by:
