This commit adds missing host CR3 checks. Before entering guest mode, the value
of CR3 is checked for reserved bits. After returning, nested_vmx_load_cr3 is
called to set the new CR3 value and check and load PDPTRs.

Loading CR3 as part of emulating vmentry is different from regular CR3 loads,
as implemented in kvm_set_cr3, in several ways.
* different rules are followed to check CR3 and it is desirable for the caller
to distinguish between the possible failures
* PDPTRs are not loaded if PAE paging and nested EPT are both enabled
* many MMU operations are not necessary
This patch introduces nested_vmx_load_cr3 suitable for CR3 loads as part of
nested vmentry and vmexit, and makes use of it on the nested vmentry path.

It is possible that prepare_vmcs02 fails to load the guest state. This
patch adds the proper error handling for such a case. L1 will receive
an INVALID_STATE vmexit with the appropriate exit qualification if it
happens.
A failure to set guest CR3 is the only error propagated from prepare_vmcs02
at the moment.

KVM does not correctly handle L1 hypervisors that emulate L2 real mode with
PAE and EPT, such as Hyper-V. In this mode, the L1 hypervisor populates guest
PDPTE VMCS fields and leaves guest CR3 uninitialized because it is not used
(see 26.3.2.4 Loading Page-Directory-Pointer-Table Entries). KVM always
dereferences CR3 and tries to load PDPTEs if PAE is on. This leads to two
related issues:
1) On the first nested vmentry, the guest PDPTEs, as populated by L1, are
overwritten in ept_load_pdptrs because the registers are believed to have
been loaded in load_pdptrs as part of kvm_set_cr3. This is incorrect. L2 is
running with PAE enabled but PDPTRs have been set up by L1.
2) When L2 is about to enable paging and loads its CR3, we, again, attempt
to load PDPTEs in load_pdptrs called from kvm_set_cr3. There are no guarantees
that this will succeed (it's just a CR3 load, paging is not enabled yet) and
if it doesn't, kvm_set_cr3 returns early without persisting the CR3 which is
then lost and L2 crashes right after it enables paging.
This patch replaces the kvm_set_cr3 call with a simple register write if PAE
and EPT are both on. CR3 is not to be interpreted in this case.

vmx_set_cr0() modifies GUEST_EFER and "IA-32e mode guest" in the current
VMCS. Call vmx_set_efer() after vmx_set_cr0() so that emulated VM-entry
is more faithful to VMCS12.
This patch correctly causes VM-entry to fail when "IA-32e mode guest" is
1 and GUEST_CR0.PG is 0. Previously this configuration would succeed and
"IA-32e mode guest" would silently be disabled by KVM.

MSR_IA32_CR{0,4}_FIXED1 define which bits in CR0 and CR4 are allowed to
be 1 during VMX operation. Since the set of allowed-1 bits is the same
in and out of VMX operation, we can generate these MSRs entirely from
the guest's CPUID. This lets userspace avoiding having to save/restore
these MSRs.
This patch also initializes MSR_IA32_CR{0,4}_FIXED1 from the CPU's MSRs
by default. This is a saner than the current default of -1ull, which
includes bits that the host CPU does not support.

KVM emulates MSR_IA32_VMX_CR{0,4}_FIXED1 with the value -1ULL, meaning
all CR0 and CR4 bits are allowed to be 1 during VMX operation.
This does not match real hardware, which disallows the high 32 bits of
CR0 to be 1, and disallows reserved bits of CR4 to be 1 (including bits
which are defined in the SDM but missing according to CPUID). A guest
can induce a VM-entry failure by setting these bits in GUEST_CR0 and
GUEST_CR4, despite MSR_IA32_VMX_CR{0,4}_FIXED1 indicating they are
valid.
Since KVM has allowed all bits to be 1 in CR0 and CR4, the existing
checks on these registers do not verify must-be-0 bits. Fix these checks
to identify must-be-0 bits according to MSR_IA32_VMX_CR{0,4}_FIXED1.
This patch should introduce no change in behavior in KVM, since these
MSRs are still -1ULL.

The VMX capability MSRs advertise the set of features the KVM virtual
CPU can support. This set of features varies across different host CPUs
and KVM versions. This patch aims to addresses both sources of
differences, allowing VMs to be migrated across CPUs and KVM versions
without guest-visible changes to these MSRs. Note that cross-KVM-
version migration is only supported from this point forward.
When the VMX capability MSRs are restored, they are audited to check
that the set of features advertised are a subset of what KVM and the
CPU support.
Since the VMX capability MSRs are read-only, they do not need to be on
the default MSR save/restore lists. The userspace hypervisor can set
the values of these MSRs or read them from KVM at VCPU creation time,
and restore the same value after every save/restore.

The "non-true" VMX capability MSRs can be generated from their "true"
counterparts, by OR-ing the default1 bits. The default1 bits are fixed
and defined in the SDM.
Since we can generate the non-true VMX MSRs from the true versions,
there's no need to store both in struct nested_vmx. This also lets
userspace avoid having to restore the non-true MSRs.
Note this does not preclude emulating MSR_IA32_VMX_BASIC[55]=0. To do so,
we simply need to set all the default1 bits in the true MSRs (such that
the true MSRs and the generated non-true MSRs are equal).

kvm_skip_emulated_instruction calls both
kvm_x86_ops->skip_emulated_instruction and kvm_vcpu_check_singlestep,
skipping the emulated instruction and generating a trap if necessary.
Replacing skip_emulated_instruction calls with
kvm_skip_emulated_instruction is straightforward, except for:
- ICEBP, which is already inside a trap, so avoid triggering another trap.
- Instructions that can trigger exits to userspace, such as the IO insns,
MOVs to CR8, and HALT. If kvm_skip_emulated_instruction does trigger a
KVM_GUESTDBG_SINGLESTEP exit, and the handling code for
IN/OUT/MOV CR8/HALT also triggers an exit to userspace, the latter will
take precedence. The singlestep will be triggered again on the next
instruction, which is the current behavior.
- Task switch instructions which would require additional handling (e.g.
the task switch bit) and are instead left alone.
- Cases where VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME do not proceed to the next instruction,
which do not trigger singlestep traps as mentioned previously.

We can't return both the pass/fail boolean for the vmcs and the upcoming
continue/exit-to-userspace boolean for skip_emulated_instruction out of
nested_vmx_check_vmcs, so move skip_emulated_instruction out of it instead.
Additionally, VMENTER/VMRESUME only trigger singlestep exceptions when
they advance the IP to the following instruction, not when they a) succeed,
b) fail MSR validation or c) throw an exception. Add a separate call to
skip_emulated_instruction that will later not be converted to the variant
that checks the singlestep flag.

This moves the prototypes for functions that are only called from
assembler code out of asm/asm-prototypes.h into asm/kvm_ppc.h.
The prototypes were added in commit ebe4535fbe ("KVM: PPC:
Book3S HV: sparse: prototypes for functions called from assembler",
2016-10-10), but given that the functions are KVM functions,
having them in a KVM header will be better for long-term

PPC KVM update for 4.10:
* Support for KVM guests on POWER9 using the hashed page table MMU.
* Updates and improvements to the halt-polling support on PPC, from
Suraj Jitindar Singh.
* An optimization to speed up emulated MMIO, from Yongji Xie.
* Various other minor cleanups.
KVM: s390: Changes for 4.10 (via kvm/next)
Two small optimizations to not do register reloading in
vcpu_put/get, instead do it in the ioctl path. This reduces
the overhead for schedule-intense workload that does not
exit to QEMU. (e.g. KVM guest with eventfd/irqfd that
does a lot of context switching with vhost or iothreads).
There is currently no documentation about the halt polling capabilities
of the kvm module. Add some documentation describing the mechanism as well
as the module parameters to all better understanding of how halt polling
should be used and the effect of tuning the module parameters.

KVM_HALT_POLL_NS_DEFAULT is an arch specific constant which sets the
default value of the halt_poll_ns kvm module parameter which determines
the global maximum halt polling interval.
The current value for powerpc is 500000 (500us) which means that any
repetitive workload with a period of less than that can drive the cpu
usage to 100% where it may have been mostly idle without halt polling.
This presents the possibility of a large increase in power usage with
a comparatively small performance benefit.
Reduce the default to 10000 (10us) and a user can tune this themselves
to set their affinity for halt polling based on the trade off between power
and performance which they are willing to make.

The kvm module parameter halt_poll_ns defines the global maximum halt
polling interval and can be dynamically changed by writing to the
/sys/module/kvm/parameters/halt_poll_ns sysfs file. However in kvm-hv
this module parameter value is only ever checked when we grow the current
polling interval for the given vcore. This means that if we decrease the
halt_poll_ns value below the current polling interval we won't see any
effect unless we try to grow the polling interval above the new max at some
point or it happens to be shrunk below the halt_poll_ns value.
Update the halt polling code so that we always check for a new module param
value of halt_poll_ns and set the current halt polling interval to it if
it's currently greater than the new max. This means that it's redundant to
also perform this check in the grow_halt_poll_ns() function now.

The previous patch exported the variables which back the module parameters
of the generic kvm module. Now use these variables in the kvm-hv module
so that any change to the generic module parameters will also have the
same effect for the kvm-hv module. This removes the duplication of the
kvm module parameters which was redundant and should reduce confusion when
tuning them.

The kvm module has the parameters halt_poll_ns, halt_poll_ns_grow, and
halt_poll_ns_shrink. Halt polling was recently added to the powerpc kvm-hv
module and these parameters were essentially duplicated for that. There is
no benefit to this duplication and it can lead to confusion when trying to
tune halt polling.
Thus move the definition of these variables to kvm_host.h and export them.
This will allow the kvm-hv module to use the same module parameters by
accessing these variables, which will be implemented in the next patch,
meaning that they will no longer be duplicated.
