      KVM: VMX: introduce vm_{entry,exit}_control_reset_shadow · 8391ce44
      Paolo Bonzini authored
      There is no reason to read the entry/exit control fields of the
      VMCS and immediately write back the same value.

      KVM: nVMX: keep preemption timer enabled during L2 execution · 9314006d
      Paolo Bonzini authored
      Because the vmcs12 preemption timer is emulated through a separate hrtimer,
      we can keep on using the preemption timer in the vmcs02 to emulare L1's
      TSC deadline timer.
      
      However, the corresponding bit in the pin-based execution control field
      must be kept consistent between vmcs01 and vmcs02.  On vmentry we copy
      it into the vmcs02; on vmexit the preemption timer must be disabled in
      the vmcs01 if a preemption timer vmexit happened while in guest mode.
      
      The preemption timer value in the vmcs02 is set by vmx_vcpu_run, so it
      need not be considered in prepare_vmcs02.

      KVM: nVMX: avoid incorrect preemption timer vmexit in nested guest · 55123e3c
      Wanpeng Li authored
      The preemption timer for nested VMX is emulated by hrtimer which is started on L2
      entry, stopped on L2 exit and evaluated via the check_nested_events hook. However,
      nested_vmx_exit_handled is always returning true for preemption timer vmexit.  Then,
      the L1 preemption timer vmexit is captured and be treated as a L2 preemption
      timer vmexit, causing NULL pointer dereferences or worse in the L1 guest's
      vmexit handler:

      This can be reproduced readily by running a full dynticks guest(since hrtimer
      in guest is heavily used) w/ lapic_timer_advance disabled.
      
      If fail to program hardware preemption timer, we will fallback to hrtimer based
      method, however, a previous programmed preemption timer miss to cancel in this
      scenario which results in one hardware preemption timer and one hrtimer emulated
      tsc deadline timer run simultaneously. So sometimes the target guest deadline
      tsc is earlier than guest tsc, which leads to the computation in vmx_set_hv_timer
      can underflow and cause delta_tsc to be set a huge value, then host soft lockup
      as above.
      
      This patch fix it by cancelling the previous programmed preemption timer if there
      is once we failed to program the new preemption timer and fallback to hrtimer
      based method.

      KVM: vmx: fix underflow in TSC deadline calculation · 9175d2e9
      Paolo Bonzini authored
      If the TSC deadline timer is programmed really close to the deadline or
      even in the past, the computation in vmx_set_hv_timer can underflow and
      cause delta_tsc to be set to a huge value.  This generally results
      in vmx_set_hv_timer returning -ERANGE, but we can fix it by limiting
      delta_tsc to be positive or zero.

      KVM: x86: use guest_exit_irqoff · f2485b3e
      Paolo Bonzini authored
      This gains a few clock cycles per vmexit.  On Intel there is no need
      anymore to enable the interrupts in vmx_handle_external_intr, since
      we are using the "acknowledge interrupt on exit" feature.  AMD
      needs to do that, and must be careful to avoid the interrupt shadow.
