Emulate MSR 0xC0011024 when running on AMD processors.

MFC r279228:
Always emulate MSR_PAT on Intel processors and don't rely on PAT save/restore

Fix warnings/errors when building vmm.ko with gcc.


# 276403 30-Dec-2014 neel

MFC r273749
Remove bhyve SVM feature printf's now that they are available in the general
CPU feature detection code.

MFC r273766
Add missing 'break' pointed out by Coverity CID 1249760.

MFC r276098
Allow ktr(4) tracing of all guest exceptions via the tunable "hw.vmm.trace_guest_exceptions"

MFC r276392
Inject #UD into the guest when it executes either 'MONITOR' or 'MWAIT' on an
AMD/SVM host.

MFC r276402
Remove "svn:mergeinfo" property that was dragged along when these files were
svn copied in r273375.


# 276349 28-Dec-2014 neel

MFC r270326
Fix a recursive lock acquisition in vi_reset_dev().

MFC r270434
Return the spurious interrupt vector (IRQ7 or IRQ15) if the atpic cannot find
any unmasked pin with an interrupt asserted.

MFC r270436
Fix a bug in the emulation of CPUID leaf 0x4.

MFC r270437
Add "hw.vmm.topology.threads_per_core" and "hw.vmm.topology.cores_per_package"
tunables to modify the default cpu topology advertised by bhyve.

MFC r270855
Set the 'inst_length' to '0' early on before any error conditions are detected
in the emulation of the task switch. If any exceptions are triggered then the
guest %rip should point to instruction that caused the task switch as opposed
to the one after it.

MFC r270857
The "SUB" instruction used in getcc() actually does 'x -= y' so use the
proper constraint for 'x'. The "+r" constraint indicates that 'x' is an
input and output register operand.

While here generate code for different variants of getcc() using a macro
GETCC(sz) where 'sz' indicates the operand size.

Update the status bits in %rflags when emulating AND and OR opcodes.

MFC r271439
Initialize 'bc_rdonly' to the right value.

MFC r271451
Optimize the common case of injecting an interrupt into a vcpu after a HLT
by explicitly moving it out of the interrupt shadow.

MFC r271888
Restructure the MSR handling so it is entirely handled by processor-specific
code.

MFC r271890
MSR_KGSBASE is no longer saved and restored from the guest MSR save area. This
behavior was changed in r271888 so update the comment block to reflect this.

MFC r271891
Add some more KTR events to help debugging.

MFC r272197
mmap(2) requires either MAP_PRIVATE or MAP_SHARED for non-anonymous mappings.

MFC r272395
Get rid of code that dealt with the hardware not being able to save/restore
the PAT MSR on guest exit/entry. This workaround was done for a beta release
of VMware Fusion 5 but is no longer needed in later versions.

All Intel CPUs since Nehalem have supported saving and restoring MSR_PAT
in the VM exit and entry controls.

MFC r272670
Inject #UD into the guest when it executes either 'MONITOR' or 'MWAIT'.

MFC r272710
Implement the FLUSH operation in the virtio-block emulation.

MFC r272838
iasl(8) expects integer fields in data tables to be specified as hexadecimal
values. Therefore the bit width of the "PM Timer Block" was actually being
interpreted as 50-bits instead of the expected 32-bit.

This eliminates an error message emitted by a Linux 3.17 guest during boot:
"Invalid length for FADT/PmTimerBlock: 50, using default 32"

MFC r272839
Support Intel-specific MSRs that are accessed when booting up a linux in bhyve:
- MSR_PLATFORM_INFO
- MSR_TURBO_RATIO_LIMITx
- MSR_RAPL_POWER_UNIT

MFC r273108
Emulate "POP r/m". This is needed to boot OpenBSD/i386 MP kernel in bhyve.

MFC r273212
Support stopping and restarting the AHCI command list via toggling PxCMD.ST
from '1' to '0' and back. This allows the driver a chance to recover if
for instance a timeout occurred due to activity on the host.

MFC 263780,264516,265062,265101,265203,265364:
Add an ioctl to suspend a virtual machine (VM_SUSPEND).

Add logic in the HLT exit handler to detect if the guest has put all vcpus
to sleep permanently by executing a HLT with interrupts disabled.

When this condition is detected the guest with be suspended with a reason of
VM_SUSPEND_HALT and the bhyve(8) process will exit.

This logic can be disabled via the tunable 'hw.vmm.halt_detection'.


# 268934 21-Jul-2014 jhb

MFC 264916,267611:

- Respect and track the enable bit in the PCI configuration address word.
- Handle quad-word access to 32-bit register pairs.


# 267450 13-Jun-2014 jhb

MFC 262744:

# 267447 13-Jun-2014 jhb

MFC 262139,262140,262236,262281,262532:
Various x2APIC fixes and enhancements:
- Use spinlocks for the vioapic.
- Handle the SELF_IPI MSR.
- Simplify the APIC mode switching between MMIO and x2APIC. The guest is
no longer allowed to switch modes at runtime. Instead, the desired mode
is set when the virtual machine is created.
- Disallow MMIO access in x2APIC mode and MSR access in xAPIC mode.
- Add support for x2APIC virtualization assist in Intel VT-x.


# 267427 12-Jun-2014 jhb

MFC 261638,262144,262506,266765:
Add virtualized XSAVE support to bhyve which permits guests to use XSAVE and
XSAVE-enabled features like AVX.
- Store a per-cpu guest xcr0 register and handle xsetbv VM exits by emulating
the instruction.
- Only expose XSAVE to guests if XSAVE is enabled in the host. Only expose
a subset of XSAVE features currently supported by the guest and for which
the proper emulation of xsetbv is known. Currently this includes X87, SSE,
AVX, AVX-512, and Intel MPX.
- Add support for injecting hardware exceptions into the guest and use this
to trigger exceptions in the guest for invalid xsetbv operations instead
of potentially faulting in the host.
- Queue pending exceptions in the 'struct vcpu' instead of directly updating
the processor-specific VMCS or VMCB. The pending exception will be delivered
right before entering the guest.
- Rename the unused ioctl VM_INJECT_EVENT to VM_INJECT_EXCEPTION and restrict
it to only deliver x86 hardware exceptions. This new ioctl is now used to
inject a protection fault when the guest accesses an unimplemented MSR.
- Expose a subset of known-safe features from leaf 0 of the structured
extended features to guests if they are supported on the host including
RDFSBASE/RDGSBASE, BMI1/2, AVX2, AVX-512, HLE, ERMS, and RTM. Aside
from AVX-512, these features are all new instructions available for use
in ring 3 with no additional hypervisor changes needed.


# 267393 12-Jun-2014 jhb

MFC 260239,261268,265058:
Expand the support for PCI INTx interrupts including providing interrupt
routing information for INTx interrupts to I/O APIC pins and enabling
INTx interrupts in the virtio and AHCI backends.


# 267341 10-Jun-2014 jhb

MFC 261217:
Remove support for legacy PCI devices. These haven't been needed since
support for LPC uart devices was added and it conflicts with upcoming
patches to add PCI INTx support.

Approved by: grehan


# 266393 18-May-2014 jhb

MFC 259737, 262646:
Fix a couple of issues with vcpu state:
- Add a parameter to 'vcpu_set_state()' to enforce that the vcpu is in the
IDLE state before the requested state transition. This guarantees that
there is exactly one ioctl() operating on a vcpu at any point in time and
prevents unintended state transitions.
- Fix a race between VMRUN() and vcpu_notify_event() due to 'vcpu->hostcpu'
being updated outside of the vcpu_lock().


# 264619 17-Apr-2014 jhb

MFC 258860,260167,260238,260397:
- Restructure the VMX code to enter and exit the guest. In large part this
change hides the setjmp/longjmp semantics of VM enter/exit.
vmx_enter_guest() is used to enter guest context and vmx_exit_guest() is
used to transition back into host context.

Fix a longstanding race where a vcpu interrupt notification might be
ignored if it happens after vmx_inject_interrupts() but before host
interrupts are disabled in vmx_resume/vmx_launch. We now call
vmx_inject_interrupts() with host interrupts disabled to prevent this.
- The 'protection' field in the VM exit collateral for the PAGING exit is
not used - get rid of it.

processing to ignore pending interrupts in the IRR if interrupts have
been disabled by the guest. The interrupt cannot be injected into the
guest in any case so resuming it is futile.
- Use callout(9) to drive the vlapic timer instead of clocking it on each
VM exit.
- When the guest is bringing up the APs in the x2APIC mode a write to the
ICR register will now trigger a return to userspace with an exitcode of
VM_EXITCODE_SPINUP_AP.
- Change the vlapic timer lock to be a spinlock because the vlapic can be
accessed from within a critical section (vm run loop) when guest is using
x2apic mode.
- Fix the vlapic version register.
- Add a command to bhyvectl to inject an NMI on a specific vcpu.
- Add an API to deliver message signalled interrupts to vcpus. This allows
callers to treat the MSI 'addr' and 'data' fields as opaque and also lets
bhyve implement multiple destination modes: physical, flat and clustered.
- Rename the ambiguously named 'vm_setup_msi()' and 'vm_setup_msix()' to
'vm_setup_pptdev_msi()' and 'vm_setup_pptdev_msix()' respectively.
- Consolidate the virtual apic initialization in a single function:
vlapic_reset()
- Add a generic routine to trigger an LVT interrupt that supports both
fixed and NMI delivery modes.
- Add an ioctl and bhyvectl command to trigger local interrupts inside a
guest. In particular, a global NMI similar to that raised by SERR# or
PERR# can be simulated by asserting LINT1 on all vCPUs.
- Extend the LVT table in the vCPU local APIC to support CMCI.
- Flesh out the local APIC error reporting a bit to cache errors and
report them via ESR when ESR is written to. Add support for asserting
the error LVT when an error occurs. Raise illegal vector errors when
attempting to signal an invalid vector for an interrupt or when sending
an IPI.
- Export table entries in the MADT and MP Table advertising the stock x86

# 257396 30-Oct-2013 neel

MFC r257293.

Add support for PCI-to-ISA LPC bridge emulation. If the LPC bus is attached
to a virtual machine then we implicitly create COM1 and COM2 ISA devices.

Prior to this change the only way of attaching a COM port to the virtual
machine was by presenting it as a PCI device that is mapped at the legacy
I/O address 0x3F8 or 0x2F8.

There were some issues with the original approach:
- It did not work at all with UEFI because UEFI will reprogram the PCI device
BARs and remap the COM1/COM2 ports at non-legacy addresses.
- OpenBSD GENERIC kernel does not create a /dev/console because it expects
the uart device at the legacy 0x3F8/0x2F8 address to be an ISA device.
- It was functional with a FreeBSD guest but caused the console to appear
on /dev/ttyu2 which was not intuitive.

The uart emulation is now independent of the bus on which it resides. Thus it
is possible to have uart devices on the PCI bus in addition to the legacy
COM1/COM2 devices behind the LPC bus.

The command line option to attach ISA COM1/COM2 ports to a virtual machine is
"-s <bus>,lpc -l com1,stdio".

The command line option to create a PCI-attached uart device is:
"-s <bus>,uart[,stdio]"

The command line option to create PCI-attached COM1/COM2 device is:
"-S <bus>,uart[,stdio]". This style of creating COM ports is deprecated.

# 256072 05-Oct-2013 neel

Merge projects/bhyve_npt_pmap into head.

Make the amd64/pmap code aware of nested page table mappings used by bhyve
guests. This allows bhyve to associate each guest with its own vmspace and
deal with nested page faults in the context of that vmspace. This also
enables features like accessed/dirty bit tracking, swapping to disk and
transparent superpage promotions of guest memory.

Guest vmspace:
Each bhyve guest has a unique vmspace to represent the physical memory
allocated to the guest. Each memory segment allocated by the guest is
mapped into the guest's address space via the 'vmspace->vm_map' and is
backed by an object of type OBJT_DEFAULT.

pmap types:
The amd64/pmap now understands two types of pmaps: PT_X86 and PT_EPT.

The PT_X86 pmap type is used by the vmspace associated with the host kernel
as well as user processes executing on the host. The PT_EPT pmap is used by
the vmspace associated with a bhyve guest.

Page Table Entries:
The EPT page table entries as mostly similar in functionality to regular
page table entries although there are some differences in terms of what
bits are used to express that functionality. For e.g. the dirty bit is
represented by bit 9 in the nested PTE as opposed to bit 6 in the regular
x86 PTE. Therefore the bitmask representing the dirty bit is now computed
at runtime based on the type of the pmap. Thus PG_M that was previously a
macro now becomes a local variable that is initialized at runtime using
'pmap_modified_bit(pmap)'.

An additional wrinkle associated with EPT mappings is that older Intel
processors don't have hardware support for tracking accessed/dirty bits in
the PTE. This means that the amd64/pmap code needs to emulate these bits to
provide proper accounting to the VM subsystem. This is achieved by using
the following mapping for EPT entries that need emulation of A/D bits:
Bit Position Interpreted By
PG_V 52 software (accessed bit emulation handler)
PG_RW 53 software (dirty bit emulation handler)
PG_A 0 hardware (aka EPT_PG_RD)
PG_M 1 hardware (aka EPT_PG_WR)

The idea to use the mapping listed above for A/D bit emulation came from
Alan Cox (alc@).

The final difference with respect to x86 PTEs is that some EPT implementations
do not support superpage mappings. This is recorded in the 'pm_flags' field
of the pmap.

TLB invalidation:
The amd64/pmap code has a number of ways to do invalidation of mappings
that may be cached in the TLB: single page, multiple pages in a range or the
entire TLB. All of these funnel into a single EPT invalidation routine called
'pmap_invalidate_ept()'. This routine bumps up the EPT generation number and
sends an IPI to the host cpus that are executing the guest's vcpus. On a
subsequent entry into the guest it will detect that the EPT has changed and
invalidate the mappings from the TLB.

Guest memory access:
Since the guest memory is no longer wired we need to hold the host physical
page that backs the guest physical page before we can access it. The helper
functions 'vm_gpa_hold()/vm_gpa_release()' are available for this purpose.

PCI passthru:
Guest's with PCI passthru devices will wire the entire guest physical address
space. The MMIO BAR associated with the passthru device is backed by a
vm_object of type OBJT_SG. An IOMMU domain is created only for guest's that
have one or more PCI passthru devices attached to them.

Limitations:
There isn't a way to map a guest physical page without execute permissions.
This is because the amd64/pmap code interprets the guest physical mappings as
user mappings since they are numerically below VM_MAXUSER_ADDRESS. Since PG_U
shares the same bit position as EPT_PG_EXECUTE all guest mappings become
automatically executable.

Thanks to Alan Cox and Konstantin Belousov for their rigorous code reviews
as well as their support and encouragement.

Thanks for John Baldwin for reviewing the use of OBJT_SG as the backing
object for pci passthru mmio regions.

Special thanks to Peter Holm for testing the patch on short notice.

The stdio parameter instructs the code to perform i/o using
stdin/stdout. It can only be used for one instance.
To allow legacy i/o ports/irqs to be used, a new variant of
the slot command, -S, is introduced. When used to specify a
slot, the device will use legacy resources if it supports
them; otherwise it will be treated the same as the '-s' option.
Specifying the -S option with the uart will first use the 0x3f8/irq 4
config, and the second -S will use 0x2F8/irq 3.

Interrupt delivery is awaiting the arrival of the i/o apic code,
but this works fine in uart(4)'s polled mode.

Changes to allow the GENERIC+bhye kernel built from this branch to
run as a 1/2 CPU guest on an 8.1 bhyve host.

bhyve/inout.c
inout.h
fbsdrun.c
- Rather than exiting on accesses to unhandled i/o ports, emulate
hardware by returning -1 on reads and ignoring writes to unhandled
ports. Support the previous mode by allowing a 'strict' parameter
to be set from the command line.
The 8.1 guest kernel was vastly cut down from GENERIC and had no
ISA devices. Booting GENERIC exposes a massive amount of random
touching of i/o ports (hello syscons/vga/atkbdc).

bhyve/consport.c
dev/bvm/bvm_console.c
- implement a simplistic signature for the bvm console by returning
'bv' for an inw on the port. Also, set the priority of the console
to CN_REMOTE if the signature was returned. This works better in
an environment where multiple consoles are in the kernel (hello syscons)

bhyve/rtc.c
- return 0 for the access to RTC_EQUIPMENT (yes, you syscons)

amd64/vmm/x86.c
x86.h
- hide a bunch more CPUID leaf 1 bits from the guest to prevent
cpufreq drivers from probing.
The next step will be to move CPUID handling completely into

presenting a lowest-common-denominator CPU type/feature set, to
exposing (almost) everything that the host can support.
