When the guest can use VMX instructions (when the "nested" module option is on), it should also be able to read and write VMX MSRs, e.g., to query about VMX capabilities. This patch adds this support. Signed-off-by: Nadav Har'El <nyh@il.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>

An implementation of VMX needs to define a VMCS structure. This structure is kept in guest memory, but is opaque to the guest (who can only read or write it with VMX instructions). This patch starts to define the VMCS structure which our nested VMX implementation will present to L1. We call it "vmcs12", as it is the VMCS that L1 keeps for its L2 guest. We will add more content to this structure in later patches. This patch also adds the notion (as required by the VMX spec) of L1's "current VMCS", and finally includes utility functions for mapping the guest-allocated VMCSs in host memory.

This patch allows the guest to enable the VMXE bit in CR4, which is a prerequisite to running VMXON. Whether to allow setting the VMXE bit now depends on the architecture (svm or vmx), so its checking has moved to kvm_x86_ops->set_cr4(). This function now returns an int: If kvm_x86_ops->set_cr4() returns 1, __kvm_set_cr4() will also return 1, and this will cause kvm_set_cr4() will throw a #GP. Turning on the VMXE bit is allowed only when the nested VMX feature is enabled, and turning it off is forbidden after a vmxon.

This patch allows a guest to use the VMXON and VMXOFF instructions, and emulates them accordingly. Basically this amounts to checking some prerequisites, and then remembering whether the guest has enabled or disabled VMX operation.

This patch adds to kvm_intel a module option "nested". This option controls whether the guest can use VMX instructions, i.e., whether we allow nested virtualization. A similar, but separate, option already exists for the SVM module. This option currently defaults to 0, meaning that nested VMX must be explicitly enabled by giving nested=1. When nested VMX matures, the default should probably be changed to enable nested VMX by default - just like nested SVM is currently enabled by default.

During tracing the emulator, we noticed that init_emulate_ctxt() sometimes took a bit longer time than we expected. This patch is for mitigating the problem by some degree. By looking into the function, we soon notice that it clears the whole decode_cache whose size is about 2.5K bytes now. Furthermore, most of the bytes are taken for the two read_cache arrays, which are used only by a few instructions. Considering the fact that we are not assuming the cache arrays have been cleared when we store actual data, we do not need to clear the arrays: 2K bytes elimination. In addition, we can avoid clearing the fetch_cache and regs arrays. This patch changes the initialization not to clear the arrays. On our 64-bit host, init_emulate_ctxt() becomes 0.3 to 0.5us faster with this patch applied.

So far kvm_arch_vcpu_setup is responsible for freeing the vcpu struct if it fails. Move this confusing resonsibility back into the hands of kvm_vm_ioctl_create_vcpu. Only kvm_arch_vcpu_setup of x86 is affected, all other archs cannot fail. Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

In VMX, before we bring down a CPU we must VMCLEAR all VMCSs loaded on it because (at least in theory) the processor might not have written all of its content back to memory. Since a patch from June 26, 2008, this is done using a per-cpu "vcpus_on_cpu" linked list of vcpus loaded on each CPU. The problem is that with nested VMX, we no longer have the concept of a vcpu being loaded on a cpu: A vcpu has multiple VMCSs (one for L1, a pool for L2s), and each of those may be have been last loaded on a different cpu. So instead of linking the vcpus, we link the VMCSs, using a new structure loaded_vmcs. This structure contains the VMCS, and the information pertaining to its loading on a specific cpu (namely, the cpu number, and whether it was already launched on this cpu once). In nested we will also use the same structure to hold L2 VMCSs, and vmx->loaded_vmcs is a pointer to the currently active VMCS.

Dereference it in the actual users. This not only cleans up the emulator but also makes it easy to convert the old emulation functions to the new em_xxx() form later.

The two macros need special care to use: Assume rc, ctxt, ops and done exist outside of them. Can goto outside. Considering the fact that these are used only in decode functions, moving these right after do_insn_fetch() seems to be a right thing to improve the readability. We also rename do_fetch_insn_byte() to do_insn_fetch_byte() to be consistent. Signed-off-by: Takuya Yoshikawa <yoshikawa.takuya@oss.ntt.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>

locks_alloc_lock() assumed that the allocated struct file_lock is already initialized to zero members. This is only true for the first allocation of the structure, after reuse some of the members will have random values. This will for example result in passing random fl_start values to userspace in fuse for FL_FLOCK locks, which is an information leak at best. Fix by reinitializing those members which may be non-zero after freeing.
