Three reasons for doing this: 1. arch.walk_mmu points to arch.mmu anyway
in case nested EPT wasn't in use. 2. this aligns VMX with SVM. But 3. is
most important: nested_cpu_has_ept(vmcs12) queries the VMCS page, and if
one guest VCPU manipulates the page of another VCPU in L2, we may be
fooled to skip over the nested_ept_uninit_mmu_context, leaving mmu in
nested state. That can crash the host later on if nested_ept_get_cr3 is
invoked while L1 already left vmxon and nested.current_vmcs12 became
NULL therefore.

If a nested guest does a NM fault but its CR0 doesn't contain the TS
flag (because it was already cleared by the guest with L1 aid) then we
have to activate FPU ourselves in L0 and then continue to L2. If TS flag
is set then we fallback on the previous behavior, forward the fault to
L1 if it asked for.

We currently use some ad-hoc arch variables tied to legacy KVM device
assignment to manage emulation of instructions that depend on whether
non-coherent DMA is present. Create an interface for this, adapting
legacy KVM device assignment and adding VFIO via the KVM-VFIO device.
For now we assume that non-coherent DMA is possible any time we have a
VFIO group. Eventually an interface can be developed as part of the
VFIO external user interface to query the coherency of a group.

This patch contains the following two changes:
1. Fix the bug in nested preemption timer support. If vmexit L2->L0
with some reasons not emulated by L1, preemption timer value should
be save in such exits.
2. Add support of "Save VMX-preemption timer value" VM-Exit controls
to nVMX.
With this patch, nested VMX preemption timer features are fully
supported.

72f857950f6f19 broke shadow on EPT. This patch reverts it and fixes PAE
on nEPT (which reverted commit fixed) in other way.
Shadow on EPT is now broken because while L1 builds shadow page table
for L2 (which is PAE while L2 is in real mode) it never loads L2's
GUEST_PDPTR[0-3]. They do not need to be loaded because without nested
virtualization HW does this during guest entry if EPT is disabled,
but in our case L0 emulates L2's vmentry while EPT is enables, so we
cannot rely on vmcs12->guest_pdptr[0-3] to contain up-to-date values
and need to re-read PDPTEs from L2 memory. This is what kvm_set_cr3()
is doing, but by clearing cache bits during L2 vmentry we drop values
that kvm_set_cr3() read from memory.
So why the same code does not work for PAE on nEPT? kvm_set_cr3()
reads pdptes into vcpu->arch.walk_mmu->pdptrs[]. walk_mmu points to
vcpu->arch.nested_mmu while nested guest is running, but ept_load_pdptrs()
uses vcpu->arch.mmu which contain incorrect values. Fix that by using
walk_mmu in ept_(load|save)_pdptrs.

If #PF happens during delivery of an exception into L2 and L1 also do
not have the page mapped in its shadow page table then L0 needs to
generate vmexit to L2 with original event in IDT_VECTORING_INFO, but
current code combines both exception and generates #DF instead. Fix that
by providing nVMX specific function to handle page faults during page
table walk that handles this case correctly.

If an exception causes vmexit directly it should not be reported in
IDT_VECTORING_INFO during the exit. For that we need to be able to
distinguish between exception that is injected into nested VM and one that
is reinjected because its delivery failed. Fortunately we already have
mechanism to do so for nested SVM, so here we just use correct function
to requeue exceptions and make sure that reinjected exception is not
moved to IDT_VECTORING_INFO during vmexit emulation and not re-checked
for interception during delivery.

If we let L1 use EPT, we should probably also support the INVEPT instruction.
In our current nested EPT implementation, when L1 changes its EPT table
for L2 (i.e., EPT12), L0 modifies the shadow EPT table (EPT02), and in
the course of this modification already calls INVEPT. But if last level
of shadow page is unsync not all L1's changes to EPT12 are intercepted,
which means roots need to be synced when L1 calls INVEPT. Global INVEPT
should not be different since roots are synced by kvm_mmu_load() each
time EPTP02 changes.

KVM's existing shadow MMU code already supports nested TDP. To use it, we
need to set up a new "MMU context" for nested EPT, and create a few callbacks
for it (nested_ept_*()). This context should also use the EPT versions of
the page table access functions (defined in the previous patch).
Then, we need to switch back and forth between this nested context and the
regular MMU context when switching between L1 and L2 (when L1 runs this L2
with EPT).

The existing code for handling cr3 and related VMCS fields during nested
exit and entry wasn't correct in all cases:
If L2 is allowed to control cr3 (and this is indeed the case in nested EPT),
during nested exit we must copy the modified cr3 from vmcs02 to vmcs12, and
we forgot to do so. This patch adds this copy.
If L0 isn't controlling cr3 when running L2 (i.e., L0 is using EPT), and
whoever does control cr3 (L1 or L2) is using PAE, the processor might have
saved PDPTEs and we should also save them in vmcs12 (and restore later).

Recent KVM, since http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kvm/2010/5/2/6261577
switch the EFER MSR when EPT is used and the host and guest have different
NX bits. So if we add support for nested EPT (L1 guest using EPT to run L2)
and want to be able to run recent KVM as L1, we need to allow L1 to use this
EFER switching feature.
To do this EFER switching, KVM uses VM_ENTRY/EXIT_LOAD_IA32_EFER if available,
and if it isn't, it uses the generic VM_ENTRY/EXIT_MSR_LOAD. This patch adds
support for the former (the latter is still unsupported).
Nested entry and exit emulation (prepare_vmcs_02 and load_vmcs12_host_state,
respectively) already handled VM_ENTRY/EXIT_LOAD_IA32_EFER correctly. So all
that's left to do in this patch is to properly advertise this feature to L1.
Note that vmcs12's VM_ENTRY/EXIT_LOAD_IA32_EFER are emulated by L0, by using
vmx_set_efer (which itself sets one of several vmcs02 fields), so we always
support this feature, regardless of whether the host supports it.

Add a tracepoint write_tsc_offset for tracing TSC offset change.
We want to merge ftrace's trace data of guest OSs and the host OS using
TSC for timestamp in chronological order. We need "TSC offset" values for
each guest when merge those because the TSC value on a guest is always the
host TSC plus guest's TSC offset. If we get the TSC offset values, we can
calculate the host TSC value for each guest events from the TSC offset and
the event TSC value. The host TSC values of the guest events are used when we
want to merge trace data of guests and the host in chronological order.
(Note: the trace_clock of both the host and the guest must be set x86-tsc in
this case)
This tracepoint also records vcpu_id which can be used to merge trace data for
SMP guests. A merge tool will read TSC offset for each vcpu, then the tool
converts guest TSC values to host TSC values for each vcpu.
TSC offset is stored in the VMCS by vmx_write_tsc_offset() or
vmx_adjust_tsc_offset(). KVM executes the former function when a guest boots.
The latter function is executed when kvm clock is updated. Only host can read
TSC offset value from VMCS, so a host needs to output TSC offset value
when TSC offset is changed.
Since the TSC offset is not often changed, it could be overwritten by other
frequent events while tracing. To avoid that, I recommend to use a special
instance for getting this event:
1. set a instance before booting a guest
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances
# mkdir tsc_offset
# cd tsc_offset
# echo x86-tsc > trace_clock
# echo 1 > events/kvm/kvm_write_tsc_offset/enable
2. boot a guest

all mmio sptes - it need not walk any shadow pages and hold mmu-lock
KVM maintains a global mmio valid generation-number which is stored in
kvm->memslots.generation and every mmio spte stores the current global
generation-number into his available bits when it is created
When KVM need zap all mmio sptes, it just simply increase the global
generation-number. When guests do mmio access, KVM intercepts a MMIO #PF
then it walks the shadow page table and get the mmio spte. If the
generation-number on the spte does not equal the global generation-number,
it will go to the normal #PF handler to update the mmio spte
Since 19 bits are used to store generation-number on mmio spte, we zap all
mmio sptes when the number is round

Bit 1 in the x86 EFLAGS is always set. Name the macro something that
actually tries to explain what it is all about, rather than being a
tautology.
