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).

need_remote_flush() assumes that shadow page is in PT64 format, but
with addition of nested EPT this is no longer always true. Fix it by
bits definitions that depend on host shadow page type.

This is the first patch in a series which adds nested EPT support to KVM's
nested VMX. Nested EPT means emulating EPT for an L1 guest so that L1 can use
EPT when running a nested guest L2. When L1 uses EPT, it allows the L2 guest
to set its own cr3 and take its own page faults without either of L0 or L1
getting involved. This often significanlty improves L2's performance over the
previous two alternatives (shadow page tables over EPT, and shadow page
tables over shadow page tables).
This patch adds EPT support to paging_tmpl.h.
paging_tmpl.h contains the code for reading and writing page tables. The code
for 32-bit and 64-bit tables is very similar, but not identical, so
paging_tmpl.h is #include'd twice in mmu.c, once with PTTTYPE=32 and once
with PTTYPE=64, and this generates the two sets of similar functions.
There are subtle but important differences between the format of EPT tables
and that of ordinary x86 64-bit page tables, so for nested EPT we need a
third set of functions to read the guest EPT table and to write the shadow
EPT table.
So this patch adds third PTTYPE, PTTYPE_EPT, which creates functions (prefixed
with "EPT") which correctly read and write EPT tables.

Some guest paging modes do not support A/D bits. Add support for such
modes in shadow page code. For such modes PT_GUEST_DIRTY_MASK,
PT_GUEST_ACCESSED_MASK, PT_GUEST_DIRTY_SHIFT and PT_GUEST_ACCESSED_SHIFT
should be set to zero.

kvm_set_cr3() attempts to check if the new cr3 is a valid guest physical
address. The problem is that with nested EPT, cr3 is an *L2* physical
address, not an L1 physical address as this test expects.
As the comment above this test explains, it isn't necessary, and doesn't
correspond to anything a real processor would do. So this patch removes it.
Note that this wrong test could have also theoretically caused problems
in nested NPT, not just in nested EPT. However, in practice, the problem
was avoided: nested_svm_vmexit()/vmrun() do not call kvm_set_cr3 in the
nested NPT case, and instead set the vmcb (and arch.cr3) directly, thus
circumventing the problem. Additional potential calls to the buggy function
are avoided in that we don't trap cr3 modifications when nested NPT is
enabled. However, because in nested VMX we did want to use kvm_set_cr3()
(as requested in Avi Kivity's review of the original nested VMX patches),
we can't avoid this problem and need to fix it.

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.

When modifying text sections for jump labels, a paranoid check is
performed. If the check fails, the system "bugs". But why it failed
is not shown.

As specified by H. Peter Anvin, the best nops for x86 without knowing
the running computer is:
32bit:
0x3e, 0x8d, 0x74, 0x26, 0x00 also known as GENERIC_NOP5_ATOMIC
64bit:
0x0f, 0x1f, 0x44, 0x00, 0x00 also known as P6_NOP5_ATOMIC
Currently the default nop that is used by jump label is:
0xe9 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
Which is really a 5byte jump to the next position.
It's better to use a real nop than a jmp.

We try to handle the hypervisor compatibility mode by detecting hypervisor
through a specific order. This is not robust, since hypervisors may implement
each others features.
This patch tries to handle this situation by always choosing the last one in the
CPUID leaves. This is done by letting .detect() return a priority instead of
true/false and just re-using the CPUID leaf where the signature were found as
the priority (or 1 if it was found by DMI). Then we can just pick hypervisor who
has the highest priority. Other sophisticated detection method could also be
implemented on top.

John McCalpin reports that the "drs_data" and "ncb_data" QPI
uncore events are missing the "extra bit" and always return zero
values unless the bit is properly set.
More details from him:
According to the Xeon E5-2600 Product Family Uncore Performance
Monitoring Guide, Table 2-94, about 1/2 of the QPI Link Layer events
(including the ones that "perf" calls "drs_data" and "ncb_data") require
that the "extra bit" be set.
This was confusing for a while -- a note at the bottom of page 94 says
that the "extra bit" is bit 16 of the control register.
Unfortunately, Table 2-86 clearly says that bit 16 is reserved and must
be zero. Looking around a bit, I found that bit 21 appears to be the
correct "extra bit", and further investigation shows that "perf" actually
agrees with me:
[root@c560-003.stampede]# cat /sys/bus/event_source/devices/uncore_qpi_0/format/event
config:0-7,21
So the command
# perf -e "uncore_qpi_0/event=drs_data/"
Is the same as
# perf -e "uncore_qpi_0/event=0x02,umask=0x08/"
While it should be
# perf -e "uncore_qpi_0/event=0x102,umask=0x08/"
I confirmed that this last version gives results that agree with the
amount of data that I expected the STREAM benchmark to move across the QPI
link in the second (cross-chip) test of the original script.

The current situation regarding boot-framebuffers (VGA, VESA/VBE, EFI) on
x86 causes troubles when loading multiple fbdev drivers. The global
"struct screen_info" does not provide any state-tracking about which
drivers use the FBs. request_mem_region() theoretically works, but
unfortunately vesafb/efifb ignore it due to quirks for broken boards.
Avoid this by creating a platform framebuffer devices with a pointer
to the "struct screen_info" as platform-data. Drivers can now create
platform-drivers and the driver-core will refuse multiple drivers being
active simultaneously.
We keep the screen_info available for backwards-compatibility. Drivers
can be converted in follow-up patches.
Different devices are created for VGA/VESA/EFI FBs to allow multiple
drivers to be loaded on distro kernels. We create:
- "vesa-framebuffer" for VBE/VESA graphics FBs
- "efi-framebuffer" for EFI FBs
- "platform-framebuffer" for everything else
This allows to load vesafb, efifb and others simultaneously and each
picks up only the supported FB types.
Apart from platform-framebuffer devices, this also introduces a
compatibility option for "simple-framebuffer" drivers which recently got
introduced for OF based systems. If CONFIG_X86_SYSFB is selected, we
try to match the screen_info against a simple-framebuffer supported
format. If we succeed, we create a "simple-framebuffer" device instead
of a platform-framebuffer.
This allows to reuse the simplefb.c driver across architectures and also
to introduce a SimpleDRM driver. There is no need to have vesafb.c,
efifb.c, simplefb.c and more just to have architecture specific quirks
in their setup-routines.
Instead, we now move the architecture specific quirks into x86-setup and
provide a generic simple-framebuffer. For backwards-compatibility (if
strange formats are used), we still allow vesafb/efifb to be loaded
simultaneously and pick up all remaining devices.

Dick Fowles, Don Zickus and Joe Mario have been working on
improvements to perf, and noticed heavy cache line contention
on the mm_cpumask, running linpack on a 60 core / 120 thread
system.
The cause turned out to be unnecessary atomic accesses to the
mm_cpumask. When in lazy TLB mode, the CPU is only removed from
the mm_cpumask if there is a TLB flush event.
Most of the time, no such TLB flush happens, and the kernel
skips the TLB reload. It can also skip the atomic memory
set & test.
Here is a summary of Joe's test results:
* The __schedule function dropped from 24% of all program cycles down
to 5.5%.
* The cacheline contention/hotness for accesses to that bitmask went
from being the 1st/2nd hottest - down to the 84th hottest (0.3% of
all shared misses which is now quite cold)
* The average load latency for the bit-test-n-set instruction in
__schedule dropped from 10k-15k cycles down to an average of 600 cycles.
* The linpack program results improved from 133 GFlops to 144 GFlops.
Peak GFlops rose from 133 to 153.

In commit 33d7885b594e169256daef652e8d3527b2298e75
x86/mce: Update MCE severity condition check
We simplified the rules to recognise each classification of recoverable
machine check combining the instruction and data fetch rules into a
single entry based on clarifications in the June 2013 SDM that all
recoverable events would be reported on the unaffected processor with
MCG_STATUS.EIPV=0 and MCG_STATUS.RIPV=1. Unfortunately the simplified
rule has a couple of bugs. Fix them here.
