MFC r282209:
Emulate the 'bit test' instruction.

MFC r282259:
Re-implement RTC current time calculation to eliminate the possibility of
losing time.

MFC r282281:
Advertise the MTRR feature via CPUID and emulate the minimal set of MTRR MSRs.

MFC r282284:
When an instruction cannot be decoded just return to userspace so bhyve(8)
can dump the instruction bytes.

MFC r282287:
Don't require <sys/cpuset.h> to be always included before <machine/vmm.h>.

MFC r282296:
Emulate MSR_SYSCFG which is accessed by Linux on AMD cpus when MTRRs are
enabled.

MFC r282301:
Relax limits when transitioning a vector from the IRR to the ISR and also
when extinguishing it from the ISR in response to an EOI.

MFC r282335:
Advertise an additional memory BAR in the "dummy" device emulation.

MFC r282336:
Emulate machine check related MSRs to allow guest OSes like Windows to boot.

MFC r282351:
Don't advertise the Intel SMX capability to the guest.

MFC r282407:
Emulate the 'CMP r/m8, imm8' instruction.

MFC r282519:
Add macros for AMD-specific bits in MSR_EFER: LMSLE, FFXSR and TCE.

MFC r282520:
Emulate guest writes to EFER_MSR properly.

MFC r282558:
Deprecate the 3-way return values from vm_gla2gpa() and vm_copy_setup().

MFC r282571:
Check 'td_owepreempt' and yield the vcpu thread if it is set.

MFC r282595:
Allow byte reads of AHCI registers.

MFC r282784:
Handling indirect descriptors is a capability of the host and not one that
needs to be negotiated. Use the host capabilities field and not the negotiated
field when verifying that indirect descriptors are supported.

MFC r282788:
Allow configuration of the sector size advertised to the guest.

MFC r282865:
Set the subvendor field in config space to the vendor ID. This is required
by the Windows virtio drivers to correctly match a device.

MFC r282922:
Bump the size of the blockif scatter-gather list to 67.

MFC r283075:
Fix off-by-one in array index bounds check. bhyveload would allow you to
create 33 entries on an array that only has 32 slots

MFC r283168:
Temporarily revert r282922 which bumped the max descriptors.

MFC r283255:
Emulate the "CMP r/m, reg" instruction (opcode 39H).

MFC r283256:
Add an option "--get-vmcs-exit-inst-length" to display the instruction length
of the instruction that caused the VM-exit.

MFC r283264:
Change the header type of the emulated host-bridge from type 1 to type 0.

MFC r283293:
Don't rely on the 'VM-exit instruction length' field in the VMCS to always
have an accurate length on an EPT violation.

MFC r283299:
Remove bogus verification of instruction length after instruction decode.

MFC r283308:
Exceptions don't deliver an error code in real mode.

MFC r283657:
Fix non-deterministic delays when accessing a vcpu that was in "running" or
"sleeping" state.

MFC r283973:
Use tunable 'hw.vmm.svm.features' to disable specific SVM features even
though they might be available in hardware. Use tunable 'hw.vmm.svm.num_asids'
to limit the number of ASIDs used by the hypervisor.

MFC r284046:
Fix regression in 'verify_gla()' with the RIP-relative addressing mode.

MFC r284174:
Support guest writes to the TSC by enabling the "use TSC offsetting"
execution control.


# 270074 16-Aug-2014 grehan

MFC r267311, r267330, r267811, r267884

Turn on interrupt window exiting unconditionally when an ExtINT is being
injected into the guest.

Add helper functions to populate VM exit information for rendezvous and
astpending exits.

Provide APIs to directly get 'lowmem' and 'highmem' size directly.

Expose the amount of resident and wired memory from the guest's vmspace


# 270071 16-Aug-2014 grehan

MFC r267216
Add ioctl(VM_REINIT) to reinitialize the virtual machine state maintained
by vmm.ko. This allows the virtual machine to be restarted without having
to destroy it first.


# 266593 23-May-2014 jhb

MFC 260802,260836,260863,261001,261074,261617:
Various fixes for NMI and interrupt injection.
- If a VM-exit happens during an NMI injection then clear the "NMI Blocking"
bit in the Guest Interruptibility-state VMCS field.
- If the guest exits due to a fault while it is executing IRET then restore
the state of "Virtual NMI blocking" in the guest's interruptibility-state
field before resuming the guest.
- Inject a pending NMI only if NMI_BLOCKING, MOVSS_BLOCKING, STI_BLOCKING
are all clear. If any of these bits are set then enable "NMI window
exiting" and inject the NMI in the VM-exit handler.
- Handle a VM-exit due to a NMI properly by vectoring to the host's NMI
handler via a software interrupt.
- Set "Interrupt Window Exiting" in the case where there is a vector to be
injected into the vcpu but the VM-entry interruption information field
already has the valid bit set.
- For VM-exits due to an NMI, handle the NMI with interrupts disabled in
addition to "blocking by NMI" already established by the VM-exit.


# 266339 17-May-2014 jhb

MFC 259641,259863,259924,259937,259961,259978,260380,260383,260410,260466,
260531,260532,260550,260619,261170,261453,261621,263280,263290,264516:
Add support for local APIC hardware-assist.
- Restructure vlapic access and register handling to support hardware-assist
for the local APIC.
- Use the 'Virtual Interrupt Delivery' and 'Posted Interrupt Processing'
feature of Intel VT-x if supported by hardware.
- Add an API to rendezvous all active vcpus in a virtual machine and use
it to support level triggered interrupts with VT-x 'Virtual Interrupt
Delivery'.
- Use a cheaper IPI handler than IPI_AST for nested page table shootdowns
and avoid doing unnecessary nested TLB invalidations.
