Add a counter field into pte_list_desc, so as to simplify the add/remove/loop
logic. E.g., we don't need to loop over the array any more for most reasons.
This will make more sense after we've switched the array size to be larger
otherwise the counter will be a waste.
Initially I wanted to store a tail pointer at the head of the array list so we
don't need to traverse the list at least for pushing new ones (if without the
counter we traverse both the list and the array). However that'll need
slightly more change without a huge lot benefit, e.g., after we grow entry
numbers per array the list traversing is not so expensive.
So let's be simple but still try to get as much benefit as we can with just
these extra few lines of changes (not to mention the code looks easier too
without looping over arrays).
I used the same a test case to fork 500 child and recycle them ("./rmap_fork

Currently rmap array element only contains 3 entries. However for EPT=N there
could have a lot of guest pages that got tens of even hundreds of rmap entry.
A normal distribution of a 6G guest (even if idle) shows this with rmap count
statistics:
Rmap_Count: 0 1 2-3 4-7 8-15 16-31 32-63 64-127 128-255 256-511 512-1023

Level=2M: 5951 227 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Level=1G: 32 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
If we do some more fork some pages will grow even larger rmap counts.
This patch makes PTE_LIST_EXT bigger so it'll be more efficient for the general
use case of EPT=N as we do list reference less and the loops over PTE_LIST_EXT
will be slightly more efficient; but still not too large so less waste when
array not full.
It should not affecting EPT=Y since EPT normally only has zero or one rmap
entry for each page, so no array is even allocated.
With a test case to fork 500 child and recycle them ("./rmap_fork 500" [1]),
this patch speeds up fork time of about 29%.

For an event to be in injected state when nested_svm_vmrun executes,
it must have come from exitintinfo when svm_complete_interrupts ran:
vcpu_enter_guest
static_call(kvm_x86_run) -> svm_vcpu_run
svm_complete_interrupts
// now the event went from "exitintinfo" to "injected"
static_call(kvm_x86_handle_exit) -> handle_exit
svm_invoke_exit_handler
vmrun_interception
nested_svm_vmrun
However, no event could have been in exitintinfo before a VMRUN
vmexit. The code in svm.c is a bit more permissive than the one
in vmx.c:
if (is_external_interrupt(svm->vmcb->control.exit_int_info) &&
exit_code != SVM_EXIT_EXCP_BASE + PF_VECTOR &&
exit_code != SVM_EXIT_NPF && exit_code != SVM_EXIT_TASK_SWITCH &&
exit_code != SVM_EXIT_INTR && exit_code != SVM_EXIT_NMI)
but in any case, a VMRUN instruction would not even start to execute

Preserve CR0.CD and CR0.NW on INIT instead of forcing them to '1', as
defined by both Intel's SDM and AMD's APM.
Note, current versions of Intel's SDM are very poorly written with
respect to INIT behavior. Table 9-1. "IA-32 and Intel 64 Processor
States Following Power-up, Reset, or INIT" quite clearly lists power-up,
RESET, _and_ INIT as setting CR0=60000010H, i.e. CD/NW=1. But the SDM
then attempts to qualify CD/NW behavior in a footnote:
2. The CD and NW flags are unchanged, bit 4 is set to 1, all other bits
are cleared.
Presumably that footnote is only meant for INIT, as the RESET case and
especially the power-up case are rather non-sensical. Another footnote
all but confirms that:
6. Internal caches are invalid after power-up and RESET, but left
unchanged with an INIT.
Bare metal testing shows that CD/NW are indeed preserved on INIT (someone
else can hack their BIOS to check RESET and power-up :-D).

Emulate a full #INIT instead of simply initializing the VMCB if the
guest hits a shutdown. Initializing the VMCB but not other vCPU state,
much of which is mirrored by the VMCB, results in incoherent and broken
vCPU state.
Ideally, KVM would not automatically init anything on shutdown, and
instead put the vCPU into e.g. KVM_MP_STATE_UNINITIALIZED and force
userspace to explicitly INIT or RESET the vCPU. Even better would be to
add KVM_MP_STATE_SHUTDOWN, since technically NMI can break shutdown
(and SMI on Intel CPUs).
But, that ship has sailed, and emulating #INIT is the next best thing as
that has at least some connection with reality since there exist bare
metal platforms that automatically INIT the CPU if it hits shutdown.

Skip the MMU permission_fault() check if paging is disabled when
verifying the cached MMIO GVA is usable. The check is unnecessary and
can theoretically get a false positive since the MMU doesn't zero out
"permissions" or "pkru_mask" when guest paging is disabled.
The obvious alternative is to zero out all the bitmasks when configuring
nonpaging MMUs, but that's unnecessary work and doesn't align with the
MMU's general approach of doing as little as possible for flows that are
supposed to be unreachable.
This is nearly a nop as the false positive is nothing more than an
insignificant performance blip, and more or less limited to string MMIO
when L1 is running with paging disabled. KVM doesn't cache MMIO if L2 is
active with nested TDP since the "GVA" is really an L2 GPA. If L2 is
active without nested TDP, then paging can't be disabled as neither VMX
nor SVM allows entering the guest without paging of some form.
Jumping back to L1 with paging disabled, in that case direct_map is true
and so KVM will use CR2 as a GPA; the only time it doesn't is if the
fault from the emulator doesn't match or emulator_can_use_gpa(), and that
fails only on string MMIO and other instructions with multiple memory
operands.

Tweak the logic for grabbing vmcs.GUEST_CR3 in vmx_cache_reg() to look

creates a very subtle dependency between the caching logic, the state of

Using the execution controls doesn't completely eliminate the dependency
in vmx_set_cr0(), e.g. neglecting to cache CR3 before enabling
interception would still break the guest, but it does reduce the
code dependency and mostly eliminate the logical dependency (that CR3
loads are intercepted in certain scenarios). Eliminating the subtle

Keep CR3 load/store exiting enable as needed when running L2 in order to
honor L1's desires. This fixes a largely theoretical bug where L1 could
intercept CR3 but not CR0.PG and end up not getting the desired CR3 exits
when L2 enables paging. In other words, the existing !is_paging() check
inadvertantly handles the normal case for L2 where vmx_set_cr0() is
called during VM-Enter, which is guaranteed to run with paging enabled,
and thus will never clear the bits.
Removing the !is_paging() check will also allow future consolidation and
cleanup of the related code. From a performance perspective, this is
all a nop, as the VMCS controls shadow will optimize away the VMWRITE
when the controls are in the desired state.
Add a comment explaining why CR3 is intercepted, with a big disclaimer
about not querying the old CR3. Because vmx_set_cr0() is used for flows
that are not directly tied to MOV CR3, e.g. vCPU RESET/INIT and nested
VM-Enter, it's possible that is_paging() is not synchronized with CR3
load/store exiting. This is actually guaranteed in the current code, as
KVM starts with CR3 interception disabled. Obviously that can be fixed,
but there's no good reason to play whack-a-mole, and it tends to end
poorly, e.g. descriptor table exiting for UMIP emulation attempted to be
precise in the past and ended up botching the interception toggling.

the "old" CR0 value is meaningless. But for INIT, if the vCPU is coming
from paging enabled mode, crushing vcpu->arch.cr0 will cause the various

For the exit_lmode() case, the false negative is benign as vmx_set_efer()
is called immediately after vmx_set_cr0().
For EPT without unrestricted guest, the false negative will cause KVM to
unnecessarily run with CR3 load/store exiting. But again, this is

managed by userspace. Forcing all vCPUs to be BSPs is non-sensical, and
was dead code when it was added by commit 97222cc831 ("KVM: Emulate
local APIC in kernel"). At the time, kvm_lapic_set_base() was invoked
if and only if the local APIC was in-kernel (and it couldn't be called
before the vCPU created its APIC).
kvm_lapic_set_base() eventually gained generic usage, but the latent bug
escaped notice because the only true consumer would be the guest itself
in the form of an explicit RDMSRs on APs. Out of Linux, SeaBIOS, and
EDK2/OVMF, only OVMF consumes the BSP bit from the APIC_BASE MSR. For
the vast majority of usage in OVMF, BSP confusion would be benign.
OVMF's BSP election upon SMI rendezvous might be broken, but practically
no one runs KVM with an out-of-kernel local APIC, let alone does so while
utilizing SMIs with OVMF.

Make vcpu0 the arbitrary owner of the PIT, as was intended when PIT
migration was added by commit 2f5997140f ("KVM: migrate PIT timer").
The PIT was unintentionally turned into being owned by the BSP by commit
c5af89b68a ("KVM: Introduce kvm_vcpu_is_bsp() function."), and was then
unintentionally converted to a shared ownership model when
kvm_vcpu_is_bsp() was modified to check the APIC base MSR instead of
hardcoding vcpu0 as the BSP.
Functionally, this just means the PIT's hrtimer is migrated less often.
The real motivation is to remove the usage of kvm_vcpu_is_bsp(), so that
more legacy/broken crud can be removed in a future patch.

Remove a BSP APIC update in kvm_lapic_reset() that is a glorified and
confusing nop. When the code was originally added, kvm_vcpu_is_bsp()
queried kvm->arch.bsp_vcpu, i.e. the intent was to set the BSP bit in the
BSP vCPU's APIC. But, stuffing the BSP bit at INIT was wrong since the
guest can change its BSP(s); this was fixed by commit 58d269d8cc ("KVM:
x86: BSP in MSR_IA32_APICBASE is writable").
In other words, kvm_vcpu_is_bsp() is now purely a reflection of
vcpu->arch.apic_base.MSR_IA32_APICBASE_BSP, thus the update will always
set the current value and kvm_lapic_set_base() is effectively a nop if
the new and old values match. The RESET case, which does need to stuff
the BSP for the reset vCPU, is handled by vendor code (though this will
soon be moved to common code).
No functional change intended.

Drop an explicit MMU reset when entering emulated real mode now that the

INIT arrives while the vCPU is in 64-bit mode.
Note, while there are multiple other direct calls to vmx_set_cr0(), i.e.
paths that change CR0 without invoking kvm_post_set_cr0(), only the INIT
emulation can reach enter_rmode(). CLTS emulation only toggles CR.TS,
VM-Exit (and late VM-Fail) emulation cannot architecturally transition to
Real Mode, and VM-Enter to Real Mode is possible if and only if
Unrestricted Guest is enabled (exposed to L1).

At vCPU RESET/INIT (mostly RESET), stuff EDX with KVM's hardcoded,
default Family-Model-Stepping ID of 0x600 if CPUID.0x1 isn't defined.
At RESET, the CPUID lookup is guaranteed to "miss" because KVM emulates
RESET before exposing the vCPU to userspace, i.e. userspace can't
possibly have done set the vCPU's CPUID model, and thus KVM will always
write '0'. At INIT, using 0x600 is less bad than using '0'.
While initializing EDX to '0' is _extremely_ unlikely to be noticed by
the guest, let alone break the guest, and can be overridden by
userspace for the RESET case, using 0x600 is preferable as it will allow
consolidating the relevant VMX and SVM RESET/INIT logic in the future.
And, digging through old specs suggests that neither Intel nor AMD have
ever shipped a CPU that initialized EDX to '0' at RESET.
Regarding 0x600 as KVM's default Family, it is a sane default and in
many ways the most appropriate. Prior to the 386 implementations, DX
was undefined at RESET. With the 386, 486, 586/P5, and 686/P6/Athlon,
both Intel and AMD set EDX to 3, 4, 5, and 6 respectively. AMD switched
to using '15' as its primary Family with the introduction of AMD64, but
Intel has continued using '6' for the last few decades.
So, '6' is a valid Family for both Intel and AMD CPUs, is compatible
with both 32-bit and 64-bit CPUs (albeit not a perfect fit for 64-bit
AMD), and of the common Families (3 - 6), is the best fit with respect to
KVM's virtual CPU model. E.g. prior to the P6, Intel CPUs did not have a
STI window. Modern operating systems, Linux included, rely on the STI
window, e.g. for "safe halt", and KVM unconditionally assumes the virtual
CPU has an STI window. Thus enumerating a Family ID of 3, 4, or 5 would
be provably wrong.
Opportunistically remove a stale comment.

Do not allow an inexact CPUID "match" when querying the guest's CPUID.0x1
to stuff EDX during INIT. In the common case, where the guest CPU model
is an AMD variant, allowing an inexact match is a nop since KVM doesn't
emulate Intel's goofy "out-of-range" logic for AMD and Hygon. If the
vCPU model happens to be an Intel variant, an inexact match is possible
if and only if the max CPUID leaf is precisely '0'. Aside from the fact
that there's probably no CPU in existence with a single CPUID leaf, if
the max CPUID leaf is '0', that means that CPUID.0.EAX is '0', and thus
an inexact match for CPUID.0x1.EAX will also yield '0'.
So, with lots of twisty logic, no functional change intended.

all CPUs that support CPUID set EDX to the FMS enumerated in
CPUID.0x1.EAX. If no CPUID match is found, fall back to KVM's default

Set L1's LDTR on VM-Exit per the Intel SDM:
The host-state area does not contain a selector field for LDTR. LDTR is
established as follows on all VM exits: the selector is cleared to
0000H, the segment is marked unusable and is otherwise undefined
(although the base address is always canonical).
This is likely a benign bug since the LDTR is unusable, as it means the
L1 VMM is conditioned to reload its LDTR in order to function properly on
bare metal.

Flush the guest's TLB on INIT, as required by Intel's SDM. Although
AMD's APM states that the TLBs are unchanged by INIT, it's not clear that
that's correct as the APM also states that the TLB is flush on "External
initialization of the processor." Regardless, relying on the guest to be
paranoid is unnecessarily risky, while an unnecessary flush is benign
from a functional perspective and likely has no measurable impact on
guest performance.
Note, as of the April 2021 version of Intels' SDM, it also contradicts
itself with respect to TLB flushing. The overview of INIT explicitly
calls out the TLBs as being invalidated, while a table later in the same
section says they are unchanged.
9.1 INITIALIZATION OVERVIEW:
The major difference is that during an INIT, the internal caches, MSRs,
MTRRs, and x87 FPU state are left unchanged (although, the TLBs and BTB
are invalidated as with a hardware reset)
Table 9-1:
Register Power up Reset INIT
Data and Code Cache, TLBs: Invalid[6] Invalid[6] Unchanged
Given Core2's erratum[*] about global TLB entries not being flush on INIT,
it's safe to assume that the table is simply wrong.
AZ28. INIT Does Not Clear Global Entries in the TLB
Problem: INIT may not flush a TLB entry when:
• The processor is in protected mode with paging enabled and the page global enable
flag is set (PGE bit of CR4 register)
• G bit for the page table entry is set
• TLB entry is present in TLB when INIT occurs
• Software may encounter unexpected page fault or incorrect address translation due
to a TLB entry erroneously left in TLB after INIT.
Workaround: Write to CR3, CR4 (setting bits PSE, PGE or PAE) or CR0 (setting
bits PG or PE) registers before writing to memory early in BIOS
code to clear all the global entries from TLB.
Status: For the steppings affected, see the Summary Tables of Changes.

Special case of disabling the APICv on the current vCPU right away in
kvm_request_apicv_update doesn't bring much benefit vs raising
KVM_REQ_APICV_UPDATE on it instead, since this request will be processed
on the next entry to the guest.
(the comment about having another #VMEXIT is wrong).
It also hides various assumptions that APIVc enable state matches
the APICv inhibit state, as this special case only makes those states
match on the current vCPU.
Previous patches fixed few such assumptions so now it should be safe
to drop this special case.
