On guest exit MSR_GS_BASE contains whatever the guest wrote to it and the first action after returning from the ASM code is to set it to the host kernel value. This uses wrmsrl() which is interesting at least. wrmsrl() is either using native_write_msr() or the paravirt variant. The XEN_PV code is uninteresting as nested SVM in a XEN_PV guest does not work. But native_write_msr() can be placed out of line by the compiler especially when paravirtualization is enabled in the kernel configuration. The function is marked notrace, but still can be probed if CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS_ON_NOTRACE is enabled. That would be a fatal problem as kprobe events use per-CPU variables which are GS based and would be accessed with the guest GS. Depending on the GS value this would either explode in colorful ways or lead to completely undebugable data corruption. Aside of that native_write_msr() contains a tracepoint which objtool complains about as it is invoked from the noinstr section. As this cannot run inside a XEN_PV guest there is no point in using wrmsrl(). Use native_wrmsrl() instead which is just a plain native WRMSR without tracing or anything else attached.

Entering guest mode is more or less the same as returning to user space. From an instrumentation point of view both leave kernel mode and the transition to guest or user mode reenables interrupts on the host. In user mode an interrupt is served directly and in guest mode it causes a VM exit which then handles or reinjects the interrupt. The transition from guest mode or user mode to kernel mode disables interrupts, which needs to be recorded in instrumentation to set the correct state again. This is important for e.g. latency analysis because otherwise the execution time in guest or user mode would be wrongly accounted as interrupt disabled and could trigger false positives. Add hardirq tracing to guest enter/exit functions in the same way as it is done in the user mode enter/exit code, respecting the RCU requirements.

To avoid complex and in some cases incorrect logic in kvm_spec_ctrl_test_value, just try the guest's given value on the host processor instead, and if it doesn't #GP, allow the guest to set it. One such case is when host CPU supports STIBP mitigation but doesn't support IBRS (as is the case with some Zen2 AMD cpus), and in this case we were giving guest #GP when it tried to use STIBP The reason why can can do the host test is that IA32_SPEC_CTRL msr is passed to the guest, after the guest sets it to a non zero value for the first time (due to performance reasons), and as as result of this, it is pointless to emulate #GP condition on this first access, in a different way than what the host CPU does. This is based on a patch from Sean Christopherson, who suggested this idea.

OVMF booted guest running on shadow pages crashes on TRIPLE FAULT after enabling paging from SMM.

kvm_x86_ops.vcpu_after_set_cpuid() is used to update vmx/svm specific vcpu settings based on updated CPUID settings. So it's supposed to be called after CPUIDs are updated, i.e., kvm_update_cpuid_runtime(). Currently, kvm_update_cpuid_runtime() only updates CPUID bits of OSXSAVE, APIC, OSPKE, MWAIT, KVM_FEATURE_PV_UNHALT and CPUID(0xD,0).ebx and CPUID(0xD, 1).ebx. None of them is consumed by vmx/svm's update_vcpu_after_set_cpuid(). So there is no dependency between them. Move kvm_x86_ops.vcpu_after_set_cpuid() into kvm_vcpu_after_set_cpuid() is obviously more reasonable.

As handling of bits out of leaf 1 added over time, kvm_update_cpuid() should not return directly if leaf 1 is absent, but should go on updateing other CPUID leaves.

There are cases where a guest tries to switch spinlocks to bare metal behavior (e.g. by setting "xen_nopvspin" on XEN platform and "hv_nopvspin" on HYPER_V). That feature is missed on KVM, add a new parameter "nopvspin" to disable PV spinlocks for KVM guest.

Use the recently introduced kvm_mmu_zap_oldest_mmu_pages() to batch zap MMU pages when shrinking a slab. This fixes a long standing issue where KVM's shrinker implementation is completely ineffective due to zapping only a single page. E.g. without batch zapping, forcing a scan via drop_caches basically has no impact on a VM with ~2k shadow pages. With batch zapping, the number of shadow pages can be reduced to a few hundred pages in one or two runs of drop_caches. Note, if the default batch size (currently 128) is problematic, e.g. zapping 128 pages holds mmu_lock for too long, KVM can bound the batch size by setting @batch in mmu_shrinker.
