83287ea420 KVM: VMX: Make lto-friendly
LTO (link-time optimization) doesn't like local labels to be referred to
from a different function, since the two functions may be built in separate
compilation units.  Use an external variable instead.

e2a610d7fc KVM: VMX: Allow vm86 virtualization of big real mode
Usually, big real mode uses large (4GB) segments.  Currently we don't
virtualize this; if any segment has a limit other than 0xffff, we emulate.
But if we set the vmx-visible limit to 0xffff, we can use vm86 to virtualize
real mode; if an access overruns the segment limit, the guest will #GP, which
we will trap and forward to the emulator.  This results in significantly
faster execution, and less risk of hitting an unemulated instruction.

If the limit is less than 0xffff, we retain the existing behaviour.

f5f7b2fe3b KVM: VMX: Use kvm_segment to save protected-mode segments when entering realmode
Instead of using struct kvm_save_segment, use struct kvm_segment, which is what
the other APIs use.  This leads to some simplification.

We replace save_rmode_seg() with a call to vmx_save_segment().  Since this depends
on rmode.vm86_active, we move the call to before setting the flag.

baa7e81e32 KVM: VMX: Separate saving pre-realmode state from setting segments
Commit b246dd5df1 ("KVM: VMX: Fix KVM_SET_SREGS with big real mode
segments") moved fix_rmode_seg() to vmx_set_segment(), so that it is
applied not just on transitions to real mode, but also on KVM_SET_SREGS
(migration).  However fix_rmode_seg() not only munges the vmcs segments,
it also sets up the save area for us to restore when returning to
protected mode or to return in vmx_get_segment().

Move saving the segment into a new function, save_rmode_seg(), and
call it just during the transition.

Commit b2da15ac26 ("KVM: VMX: Optimize %ds, %es reload") broke i386
in the following scenario:

  vcpu_load
  ...
  vmx_save_host_state
  vmx_vcpu_run
  (ds.rpl, es.rpl cleared by hardware)

  interrupt
    push ds, es  # pushes bad ds, es
    schedule
      vmx_vcpu_put

          reload ds, es (with __USER_DS)

  # other thread runs
  interrupt
    push ds, es

    pop ds, es  # now with rpl=0
    iret
  ...
  vcpu_put
  resume_userspace
  iret  # clears ds, es due to mismatched rpl

(instead of resume_userspace, we might return with SYSEXIT and then
take an exception; when the exception IRETs we end up with cleared
ds, es)

Fix by avoiding the optimization on i386 and reloading ds, es on the
lightweight exit path.

ad756a1603 KVM: VMX: Implement PCID/INVPCID for guests with EPT
This patch handles PCID/INVPCID for guests.

Process-context identifiers (PCIDs) are a facility by which a logical processor
may cache information for multiple linear-address spaces so that the processor
may retain cached information when software switches to a different linear
address space. Refer to section 4.10.1 in IA32 Intel Software Developer's Manual
Volume 3A for details.

For guests with EPT, the PCID feature is enabled and INVPCID behaves as running
natively.
For guests without EPT, the PCID feature is disabled and INVPCID triggers #UD.

d881e6f6cf KVM: VMX: Return correct CPL during transition to protected mode
In protected mode, the CPL is defined as the lower two bits of CS, as set by
the last far jump.  But during the transition to protected mode, there is no
last far jump, so we need to return zero (the inherited real mode CPL).

Fix by reading CPL from the cache during the transition.  This isn't 100%
correct since we don't set the CPL cache on a far jump, but since protected
mode transition will always jump to a segment with RPL=0, it will always
work.

b2da15ac26 KVM: VMX: Optimize %ds, %es reload
On x86_64, we can defer %ds and %es reload to the heavyweight context switch,
since nothing in the lightweight paths uses the host %ds or %es (they are
ignored by the processor).  Furthermore we can avoid the load if the segments
are null, by letting the hardware load the null segments for us.  This is the
expected case.

On i386, we could avoid the reload entirely, since the entry.S paths take care
of reload, except for the SYSEXIT path which leaves %ds and %es set to __USER_DS.
So we set them to the same values as well.

Saves about 70 cycles out of 1600 (around 4%; noisy measurements).

state, but now we don't, so the CPU state will not be synchronized until
the next exit to host userspace.  This mostly affects nested vmx workloads,
which play with these MSRs a lot.

Fix by loading the MSR eagerly.

7f3d35fddd KVM: x86 emulator: Fix task switch privilege checks
Currently, all task switches check privileges against the DPL of the
TSS. This is only correct for jmp/call to a TSS. If a task gate is used,
the DPL of this take gate is used for the check instead. Exceptions,
external interrupts and iret shouldn't perform any check.

10166744b8 KVM: VMX: remove yield_on_hlt
yield_on_hlt was introduced for CPU bandwidth capping. Now it is
redundant with CFS hardlimit.

yield_on_hlt also complicates the scenario in paravirtual environment,
that needs to trap halt. for e.g. paravirtualized ticket spinlocks.

cc578287e3 KVM: Infrastructure for software and hardware based TSC rate scaling
This requires some restructuring; rather than use 'virtual_tsc_khz'
to indicate whether hardware rate scaling is in effect, we consider
each VCPU to always have a virtual TSC rate.  Instead, there is new
logic above the vendor-specific hardware scaling that decides whether
it is even necessary to use and updates all rate variables used by
common code.  This means we can simply query the virtual rate at
any point, which is needed for software rate scaling.

There is also now a threshold added to the TSC rate scaling; minor
differences and variations of measured TSC rate can accidentally
provoke rate scaling to be used when it is not needed.  Instead,
we have a tolerance variable called tsc_tolerance_ppm, which is
the maximum variation from user requested rate at which scaling
will be used.  The default is 250ppm, which is the half the
threshold for NTP adjustment, allowing for some hardware variation.

In the event that hardware rate scaling is not available, we can
kludge a bit by forcing TSC catchup to turn on when a faster than
hardware speed has been requested, but there is nothing available
yet for the reverse case; this requires a trap and emulate software
implementation for RDTSC, which is still forthcoming.

1361b83a13 i387: Split up <asm/i387.h> into exported and internal interfaces
While various modules include <asm/i387.h> to get access to things we
actually *intend* for them to use, most of that header file was really
pretty low-level internal stuff that we really don't want to expose to
others.

So split the header file into two: the small exported interfaces remain
in <asm/i387.h>, while the internal definitions that are only used by
core architecture code are now in <asm/fpu-internal.h>.

The guiding principle for this was to expose functions that we export to
modules, and leave them in <asm/i387.h>, while stuff that is used by
task switching or was marked GPL-only is in <asm/fpu-internal.h>.

The fpu-internal.h file could be further split up too, especially since
arch/x86/kvm/ uses some of the remaining stuff for its module.  But that
kvm usage should probably be abstracted out a bit, and at least now the
internal FPU accessor functions are much more contained.  Even if it
isn't perhaps as contained as it _could_ be.

f94edacf99 i387: move TS_USEDFPU flag from thread_info to task_struct
This moves the bit that indicates whether a thread has ownership of the
FPU from the TS_USEDFPU bit in thread_info->status to a word of its own
(called 'has_fpu') in task_struct->thread.has_fpu.

This fixes two independent bugs at the same time:

 - changing 'thread_info->status' from the scheduler causes nasty
   problems for the other users of that variable, since it is defined to
   be thread-synchronous (that's what the "TS_" part of the naming was
   supposed to indicate).

   So perfectly valid code could (and did) do

	ti->status |= TS_RESTORE_SIGMASK;

   and the compiler was free to do that as separate load, or and store
   instructions.  Which can cause problems with preemption, since a task
   switch could happen in between, and change the TS_USEDFPU bit. The
   change to TS_USEDFPU would be overwritten by the final store.

   In practice, this seldom happened, though, because the 'status' field
   was seldom used more than once, so gcc would generally tend to
   generate code that used a read-modify-write instruction and thus
   happened to avoid this problem - RMW instructions are naturally low
   fat and preemption-safe.

 - On x86-32, the current_thread_info() pointer would, during interrupts
   and softirqs, point to a *copy* of the real thread_info, because
   x86-32 uses %esp to calculate the thread_info address, and thus the
   separate irq (and softirq) stacks would cause these kinds of odd
   thread_info copy aliases.

   This is normally not a problem, since interrupts aren't supposed to
   look at thread information anyway (what thread is running at
   interrupt time really isn't very well-defined), but it confused the
   heck out of irq_fpu_usable() and the code that tried to squirrel
   away the FPU state.

   (It also caused untold confusion for us poor kernel developers).

It also turns out that using 'task_struct' is actually much more natural
for most of the call sites that care about the FPU state, since they
tend to work with the task struct for other reasons anyway (ie
scheduling).  And the FPU data that we are going to save/restore is
found there too.

Thanks to Arjan Van De Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> for pointing us to
the %esp issue.
