MFC r350492: vmx: use C99 bool, not boolean_t

Bhyve's vmm is a self-contained modern component and thus a good
candidate for use of C99 types.

MFC: r346714: Add accessor function for vm->maxcpus

Replace most VM_MAXCPU constant useses with an accessor function to
vm->maxcpus which for now is initialized and kept at the value of
VM_MAXCPUS.

This is a rework of Fabian Freyer (fabian.freyer_physik.tu-berlin.de)

This was intended to be a non-functional change. It wasn't. The commit
message was thus wrong. In addition it broke arm, and merged crypto

Revert with prejudice.

This revert skips files touched in r316370 since that commit was since

# 330623 07-Mar-2018 jhb

MFC 328102: Save and restore guest debug registers.

Currently most of the debug registers are not saved and restored
during VM transitions allowing guest and host debug register values to
leak into the opposite context. One result is that hardware
watchpoints do not work reliably within a guest under VT-x.

Due to differences in SVM and VT-x, slightly different approaches are
used.

For VT-x:

- Enable debug register save/restore for VM entry/exit in the VMCS for
DR7 and MSR_DEBUGCTL.
- Explicitly save DR0-3,6 of the guest.
- Explicitly save DR0-3,6-7, MSR_DEBUGCTL, and the trap flag from
%rflags for the host. Note that because DR6 is "software" managed
and not stored in the VMCS a kernel debugger which single steps
through VM entry could corrupt the guest DR6 (since a single step
trap taken after loading the guest DR6 could alter the DR6
register). To avoid this, explicitly disable single-stepping via
the trace flag before loading the guest DR6. A determined debugger
could still defeat this by setting a breakpoint after the guest DR6
was loaded and then single-stepping.

For SVM:
- Enable debug register caching in the VMCB for DR6/DR7.
- Explicitly save DR0-3 of the guest.
- Explicitly save DR0-3,6-7, and MSR_DEBUGCTL for the host. Since SVM
saves the guest DR6 in the VMCB, the race with single-stepping
described for VT-x does not exist.

For both platforms, expose all of the guest DRx values via --get-drX
and --set-drX flags to bhyvectl.


# 302408 07-Jul-2016 gjb

Improve collation string and locales support

Merge collation support from Illumos and DragonflyBSD.

Locales are now generated with the new localedef(1) tool from CLDR POSIX files.
The generated files are now identified as "BSD 1.0" format.

The libc now only read "BSD 1.0" locales definitions, all other version will be
set to "C"
The localedef(1) tool has been imported from Illumos and modified to use tree(3)
instead of the CDDL avl(3)
A set of tool created by edwin@ and extended by marino@ for dragonfly has been
added to be able to generate locales and the Makefiles from the vanilla CLDR
unicode databases + a universal UTF-8 charmap (by marino@)
Update the locales to unicode v27
Given our regex(3) does not support multibyte (yet) it has been forced to always
use locale C
Remove now unused colldef(1) and mklocale(1)
Finish implementing the numeric BSD extension for ctypes
The number of supported locales has grown from 175 to 250 locales. Among the new
locales: 6 Arabic locales (AE EG JO MA QA SA), Different variations of spanish
locales.
Added new 3 components locales for mn_Cyrl_MN, sr_Cyrl_RS sr_Latn_RS,
zh_Hans_CN, zh_Hant_HK and zh_Hant_TW. Some aliases has been for 2 components
version when possible.

Thanks: Garrett D'Amore (Illumos) who made sure all his work was done under
BSD license!, Edwin Groothuis (edwin@) for the work he made on tools to be able
to generate locales definition usable in freebsd sources out of vanilla CLDR
definitions, John Marino (DragonflyBSD) who first merge the Illumos work into
Dragonfly and spent hours tracking down bugs.

# 284539 18-Jun-2015 neel

Restructure memory allocation in bhyve to support "devmem".

devmem is used to represent MMIO devices like the boot ROM or a VESA framebuffer
where doing a trap-and-emulate for every access is impractical. devmem is a
hybrid of system memory (sysmem) and emulated device models.

devmem is mapped in the guest address space via nested page tables similar
to sysmem. However the address range where devmem is mapped may be changed
by the guest at runtime (e.g. by reprogramming a PCI BAR). Also devmem is
usually mapped RO or RW as compared to RWX mappings for sysmem.

Each devmem segment is named (e.g. "bootrom") and this name is used to
create a device node for the devmem segment (e.g. /dev/vmm/testvm.bootrom).
The device node supports mmap(2) and this decouples the host mapping of
devmem from its mapping in the guest address space (which can change).

# 282558 06-May-2015 neel

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

Prior to this change both functions returned 0 for success, -1 for failure
and +1 to indicate that an exception was injected into the guest.

The numerical value of ERESTART also happens to be -1 so when these functions
returned -1 it had to be translated to a positive errno value to prevent the
VM_RUN ioctl from being inadvertently restarted. This made it easy to introduce
bugs when writing emulation code.

Fix this by adding an 'int *guest_fault' parameter and setting it to '1' if
an exception was delivered to the guest. The return value is 0 or EFAULT so
no additional translation is needed.

# 277149 13-Jan-2015 neel

'struct vm_exception' was intended to be used only as the collateral for the
VM_INJECT_EXCEPTION ioctl. However it morphed into other uses like keeping
track pending exceptions for a vcpu. This in turn causes confusion because
some fields in 'struct vm_exception' like 'vcpuid' make sense only in the
ioctl context. It also makes it harder to add or remove structure fields.

Fix this by using 'struct vm_exception' only to communicate information
from userspace to vmm.ko when injecting an exception.

Also, add a field 'restart_instruction' to 'struct vm_exception'. This
field is set to '1' for exceptions where the faulting instruction is
restarted after the exception is handled.

Replace bhyve's minimal RTC emulation with a fully featured one in vmm.ko.

The new RTC emulation supports all interrupt modes: periodic, update ended

across virtual machine reset. Also, the date/time fields can now be modified
by the guest.

Since bhyve now emulates both the PIT and the RTC there is no need for
"Legacy Replacement Routing" in the HPET so get rid of it.

The RTC device state can be inspected via bhyvectl as follows:
bhyvectl --vm=vm --get-rtc-time

Restructure the MSR handling so it is entirely handled by processor-specific
code. There are only a handful of MSRs common between the two so there isn't
too much duplicate functionality.

The VT-x code has the following types of MSRs:

- MSRs that are unconditionally saved/restored on every guest/host context
switch (e.g., MSR_GSBASE).

- MSRs that are restored to guest values on entry to vmx_run() and saved
before returning. This is an optimization for MSRs that are not used in
host kernel context (e.g., MSR_KGSBASE).

- MSRs that are emulated and every access by the guest causes a trap into
the hypervisor (e.g., MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE).

Optimize the common case of injecting an interrupt into a vcpu after a HLT
by explicitly moving it out of the interrupt shadow. The hypervisor is done
"executing" the HLT and by definition this moves the vcpu out of the
1-instruction interrupt shadow.

Prior to this change the interrupt would be held pending because the VMCS
guest-interruptibility-state would indicate that "blocking by STI" was in
effect. This resulted in an unnecessary round trip into the guest before
the pending interrupt could be injected.

If a vcpu has issued a HLT instruction with interrupts disabled then it sleeps

This is usually not an issue as long as one of the other vcpus properly resets

with a signal the halted vcpu cannot be woken up because it's sleep cannot be

# 269042 23-Jul-2014 neel

Fix fault injection in bhyve.

The faulting instruction needs to be restarted when the exception handler
is done handling the fault. bhyve now does this correctly by setting
'vmexit[vcpu].inst_length' to zero so the %rip is not advanced.

A minor complication is that the fault injection APIs are used by instruction
emulation code that is shared by vmm.ko and bhyve. Thus the argument that
refers to 'struct vm *' in kernel or 'struct vmctx *' in userspace needs to
be loosely typed as a 'void *'.

# 268889 19-Jul-2014 neel

Handle nested exceptions in bhyve.

A nested exception condition arises when a second exception is triggered while
delivering the first exception. Most nested exceptions can be handled serially
but some are converted into a double fault. If an exception is generated during
delivery of a double fault then the virtual machine shuts down as a result of
a triple fault.

vm_exit_intinfo() is used to record that a VM-exit happened while an event was
being delivered through the IDT. If an exception is triggered while handling
the VM-exit it will be treated like a nested exception.

vm_entry_intinfo() is used by processor-specific code to get the event to be
injected into the guest on the next VM-entry. This function is responsible for
deciding the disposition of nested exceptions.

Some Linux guests will implement a 'halt' by disabling the APIC and executing
the 'HLT' instruction. This condition was detected by 'vm_handle_hlt()' and
converted into the SPINDOWN_CPU exitcode . The bhyve(8) process would exit
the vcpu thread in response to a SPINDOWN_CPU and when the last vcpu was
spun down it would reset the virtual machine via vm_suspend(VM_SUSPEND_RESET).

This functionality was broken in r263780 in a way that made it impossible
to kill the bhyve(8) process because it would loop forever in
vm_handle_suspend().

Unbreak this by removing the code to spindown vcpus. Thus a 'halt' from
a Linux guest will appear to be hung but this is consistent with the
behavior on bare metal. The guest can be rebooted by using the bhyvectl
options '--force-reset' or '--force-poweroff'.

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.

The order of event injection into the guest is:
- hardware exception
- NMI
- maskable interrupt

In the Intel VT-x case, a pending NMI or interrupt will enable the interrupt
window-exiting and inject it as soon as possible after the hardware exception
is injected. Also since interrupts are inherently asynchronous, injecting
them after the hardware exception should not affect correctness from the
guest perspective.

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

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.
