KVM: nVMX: Explicitly invalidate posted_intr_nv if PI is disabled at VM-Enter

Explicitly invalidate posted_intr_nv when emulating nested VM-Enter and
posted interrupts are disabled to make it clear that posted_intr_nv is
valid if and only if nested posted interrupts are enabled, and as a cheap
way to harden against KVM bugs.

KVM initializes posted_intr_nv to -1 at vCPU creation and resets it to -1
when unloading vmcs12 and/or leaving nested mode, i.e. this is not a bug
fix (or at least, it's not intended to be a bug fix).

Note, tracking nested.posted_intr_nv as a u16 subtly adds a measure of
safety, as it prevents unintentionally matching KVM's informal "no IRQ"
vector of -1, stored as a signed int. Because a u16 can be always be
represented as a signed int, the effective "invalid" value of
posted_intr_nv, 65535, will be preserved as-is when comparing against an
int, i.e. will be zero-extended, not sign-extended, and thus won't get a
false positive if KVM is buggy and compares posted_intr_nv against -1.

Opportunistically add a comment in vmx_deliver_nested_posted_interrupt()
to call out that it must check vmx->nested.posted_intr_nv, not the vector
in vmcs12, which is presumably the _entire_ reason nested.posted_intr_nv
exists. E.g. vmcs12 is a KVM-controlled snapshot, so there are no TOCTOU
races to worry about, the only potential badness is if the vCPU leaves
nested and frees vmcs12 between the sender checking is_guest_mode() and
dereferencing the vmcs12 pointer.

KVM: nVMX: Detect nested posted interrupt NV at nested VM-Exit injection

When synthensizing a nested VM-Exit due to an external interrupt, pend a
nested posted interrupt if the external interrupt vector matches L2's PI
notification vector, i.e. if the interrupt is a PI notification for L2.
This fixes a bug where KVM will incorrectly inject VM-Exit instead of
processing nested posted interrupt when IPI virtualization is enabled.

Per the SDM, detection of the notification vector doesn't occur until the
interrupt is acknowledge and deliver to the CPU core.

If the external-interrupt exiting VM-execution control is 1, any unmasked
external interrupt causes a VM exit (see Section 26.2). If the "process
posted interrupts" VM-execution control is also 1, this behavior is
changed and the processor handles an external interrupt as follows:

1. The local APIC is acknowledged; this provides the processor core
with an interrupt vector, called here the physical vector.
2. If the physical vector equals the posted-interrupt notification
vector, the logical processor continues to the next step. Otherwise,
a VM exit occurs as it would normally due to an external interrupt;
the vector is saved in the VM-exit interruption-information field.

For the most part, KVM has avoided problems because a PI NV for L2 that
arrives will L2 is active will be processed by hardware, and KVM checks
for a pending notification vector during nested VM-Enter. Thus, to hit
the bug, the PI NV interrupt needs to sneak its way into L1's vIRR while
L2 is active.

Without IPI virtualization, the scenario is practically impossible to hit,
modulo L1 doing weird things (see below), as the ordering between
vmx_deliver_posted_interrupt() and nested VM-Enter effectively guarantees
that either the sender will see the vCPU as being in_guest_mode(), or the
receiver will see the interrupt in its vIRR.

With IPI virtualization, introduced by commit d588bb9be1da ("KVM: VMX:
enable IPI virtualization"), the sending CPU effectively implements a rough
equivalent of vmx_deliver_posted_interrupt(), sans the nested PI NV check.
If the target vCPU has a valid PID, the CPU will send a PI NV interrupt
based on _L1's_ PID, as the sender's because IPIv table points at L1 PIDs.

PIR := 32 bytes at PID_ADDR;
// under lock
PIR[V] := 1;
store PIR at PID_ADDR;
// release lock

NotifyInfo := 8 bytes at PID_ADDR + 32;
// under lock
IF NotifyInfo.ON = 0 AND NotifyInfo.SN = 0; THEN
NotifyInfo.ON := 1;
SendNotify := 1;
ELSE
SendNotify := 0;
FI;
store NotifyInfo at PID_ADDR + 32;
// release lock

IF SendNotify = 1; THEN
send an IPI specified by NotifyInfo.NDST and NotifyInfo.NV;
FI;

As a result, the target vCPU ends up receiving an interrupt on KVM's
POSTED_INTR_VECTOR while L2 is running, with an interrupt in L1's PIR for
L2's nested PI NV. The POSTED_INTR_VECTOR interrupt triggers a VM-Exit
from L2 to L0, KVM moves the interrupt from L1's PIR to vIRR, triggers a
KVM_REQ_EVENT prior to re-entry to L2, and calls vmx_check_nested_events(),
effectively bypassing all of KVM's "early" checks on nested PI NV.

Without IPI virtualization, the bug can likely be hit only if L1 programs
an assigned device to _post_ an interrupt to L2's notification vector, by
way of L1's PID.PIR. Doing so would allow the interrupt to get into L1's
vIRR without KVM checking vmcs12's NV. Which is architecturally allowed,
but unlikely behavior for a hypervisor.

KVM: nVMX: Suppress external interrupt VM-Exit injection if there's no IRQ

In the should-be-impossible scenario that kvm_cpu_get_interrupt() doesn't
return a valid vector after checking kvm_cpu_has_interrupt(), skip VM-Exit
injection to reduce the probability of crashing/confusing L1. Now that
KVM gets the IRQ _before_ calling nested_vmx_vmexit(), squashing the
VM-Exit injection is trivial since there are no actions that need to be
undone.

KVM: nVMX: Get to-be-acknowledge IRQ for nested VM-Exit at injection site

Move the logic to get the to-be-acknowledge IRQ for a nested VM-Exit from
nested_vmx_vmexit() to vmx_check_nested_events(), which is subtly the one
and only path where KVM invokes nested_vmx_vmexit() with
EXIT_REASON_EXTERNAL_INTERRUPT. A future fix will perform a last-minute
check on L2's nested posted interrupt notification vector, just before
injecting a nested VM-Exit. To handle that scenario correctly, KVM needs
to get the interrupt _before_ injecting VM-Exit, as simply querying the
highest priority interrupt, via kvm_cpu_has_interrupt(), would result in
TOCTOU bug, as a new, higher priority interrupt could arrive between
kvm_cpu_has_interrupt() and kvm_cpu_get_interrupt().

Unfortunately, simply moving the call to kvm_cpu_get_interrupt() doesn't
suffice, as a VMWRITE to GUEST_INTERRUPT_STATUS.SVI is hiding in
kvm_get_apic_interrupt(), and acknowledging the interrupt before nested
VM-Exit would cause the VMWRITE to hit vmcs02 instead of vmcs01.

Open code a rough equivalent to kvm_cpu_get_interrupt() so that the IRQ
is acknowledged after emulating VM-Exit, taking care to avoid the TOCTOU
issue described above.

Opportunistically convert the WARN_ON() to a WARN_ON_ONCE(). If KVM has
a bug that results in a false positive from kvm_cpu_has_interrupt(),
spamming dmesg won't help the situation.

Note, nested_vmx_reflect_vmexit() can never reflect external interrupts as
they are always "wanted" by L0.

KVM: nVMX: Honor userspace MSR filter lists for nested VM-Enter/VM-Exit

Synthesize a consistency check VM-Exit (VM-Enter) or VM-Abort (VM-Exit) if
L1 attempts to load/store an MSR via the VMCS MSR lists that userspace has
disallowed access to via an MSR filter. Intel already disallows including
a handful of "special" MSRs in the VMCS lists, so denying access isn't
completely without precedent.

More importantly, the behavior is well-defined _and_ can be communicated
the end user, e.g. to the customer that owns a VM running as L1 on top of
KVM. On the other hand, ignoring userspace MSR filters is all but
guaranteed to result in unexpected behavior as the access will hit KVM's
internal state, which is likely not up-to-date.

Unlike KVM-internal accesses, instruction emulation, and dedicated VMCS
fields, the MSRs in the VMCS load/store lists are 100% guest controlled,
thus making it all but impossible to reason about the correctness of
ignoring the MSR filter. And if userspace *really* wants to deny access
to MSRs via the aforementioned scenarios, userspace can hide the
associated feature from the guest, e.g. by disabling the PMU to prevent
accessing PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL via its VMCS field. But for the MSR lists, KVM
is blindly processing MSRs; the MSR filters are the _only_ way for
userspace to deny access.

This partially reverts commit ac8d6cad3c7b ("KVM: x86: Only do MSR
filtering when access MSR by rdmsr/wrmsr").

KVM: nVMX: Request immediate exit iff pending nested event needs injection

When requesting an immediate exit from L2 in order to inject a pending
event, do so only if the pending event actually requires manual injection,
i.e. if and only if KVM actually needs to regain control in order to
deliver the event.

Avoiding the "immediate exit" isn't simply an optimization, it's necessary
to make forward progress, as the "already expired" VMX preemption timer
trick that KVM uses to force a VM-Exit has higher priority than events
that aren't directly injected.

At present time, this is a glorified nop as all events processed by
vmx_has_nested_events() require injection, but that will not hold true in
the future, e.g. if there's a pending virtual interrupt in vmcs02.RVI.
I.e. if KVM is trying to deliver a virtual interrupt to L2, the expired
VMX preemption timer will trigger VM-Exit before the virtual interrupt is
delivered, and KVM will effectively hang the vCPU in an endless loop of
forced immediate VM-Exits (because the pending virtual interrupt never
goes away).

KVM: nVMX: Add a sanity check that nested PML Full stems from EPT Violations

Add a WARN_ON_ONCE() sanity check to verify that a nested PML Full VM-Exit
is only synthesized when the original VM-Exit from L2 was an EPT Violation.
While KVM can fallthrough to kvm_mmu_do_page_fault() if an EPT Misconfig
occurs on a stale MMIO SPTE, KVM should not treat the access as a write
(there isn't enough information to know *what* the access was), i.e. KVM
should never try to insert a PML entry in that case.

KVM: x86: Move nEPT exit_qualification field from kvm_vcpu_arch to x86_exception

Move the exit_qualification field that is used to track information about
in-flight nEPT violations from "struct kvm_vcpu_arch" to "x86_exception",
i.e. associate the information with the actual nEPT violation instead of
the vCPU. To handle bits that are pulled from vmcs.EXIT_QUALIFICATION,
i.e. that are propagated from the "original" EPT violation VM-Exit, simply
grab them from the VMCS on-demand when injecting a nEPT Violation or a PML
Full VM-exit.

Aside from being ugly, having an exit_qualification field in kvm_vcpu_arch
is outright dangerous, e.g. see commit d7f0a00e438d ("KVM: VMX: Report
up-to-date exit qualification to userspace").

Opportunstically add a comment to call out that PML Full and EPT Violation
VM-Exits use the same bit to report NMI blocking information.

KVM: nVMX: Clear EXIT_QUALIFICATION when injecting an EPT Misconfig

Explicitly clear the EXIT_QUALIFCATION field when injecting an EPT
misconfig into L1, as required by the VMX architecture. Per the SDM:

This field is saved for VM exits due to the following causes:
debug exceptions; page-fault exceptions; start-up IPIs (SIPIs);
system-management interrupts (SMIs) that arrive immediately after the
execution of I/O instructions; task switches; INVEPT; INVLPG; INVPCID;
INVVPID; LGDT; LIDT; LLDT; LTR; SGDT; SIDT; SLDT; STR; VMCLEAR; VMPTRLD;
VMPTRST; VMREAD; VMWRITE; VMXON; WBINVD; WBNOINVD; XRSTORS; XSAVES;
control-register accesses; MOV DR; I/O instructions; MWAIT; accesses to
the APIC-access page; EPT violations; EOI virtualization; APIC-write
emulation; page-modification log full; SPP-related events; and
instruction timeout. For all other VM exits, this field is cleared.

Generating EXIT_QUALIFICATION from vcpu->arch.exit_qualification is wrong
for all (two) paths that lead to nested_ept_inject_page_fault(). For EPT
violations (the common case), vcpu->arch.exit_qualification will have been
set by handle_ept_violation() to vmcs02.EXIT_QUALIFICATION, i.e. contains
the information of a EPT violation and thus is likely non-zero.

For an EPT misconfig, which can reach FNAME(walk_addr_generic) and thus
inject a nEPT misconfig if KVM created an MMIO SPTE that became stale,
vcpu->arch.exit_qualification will hold the information from the last EPT
violation VM-Exit, as vcpu->arch.exit_qualification is _only_ written by
handle_ept_violation().

KVM: x86: Open code all direct reads to guest DR6 and DR7

Bite the bullet, and open code all direct reads of DR6 and DR7. KVM
currently has a mix of open coded accesses and calls to kvm_get_dr(),
which is confusing and ugly because there's no rhyme or reason as to why
any particular chunk of code uses kvm_get_dr().

The obvious alternative is to force all accesses through kvm_get_dr(),
but it's not at all clear that doing so would be a net positive, e.g. even
if KVM ends up wanting/needing to force all reads through a common helper,
e.g. to play caching games, the cost of reverting this change is likely
lower than the ongoing cost of maintaining weird, arbitrary code.

No functional change intended.

KVM: x86/pmu: Snapshot event selectors that KVM emulates in software

Snapshot the event selectors for the events that KVM emulates in software,
which is currently instructions retired and branch instructions retired.
The event selectors a tied to the underlying CPU, i.e. are constant for a
given platform even though perf doesn't manage the mappings as such.

Getting the event selectors from perf isn't exactly cheap, especially if
mitigations are enabled, as at least one indirect call is involved.

Snapshot the values in KVM instead of optimizing perf as working with the
raw event selectors will be required if KVM ever wants to emulate events
that aren't part of perf's uABI, i.e. that don't have an "enum perf_hw_id"
entry.
