In theory there are no side effects of not intercepting #SMI,
because then #SMI becomes transparent to the OS and the KVM.
Plus an observation on recent Zen2 CPUs reveals that these
CPUs ignore #SMI interception and never deliver #SMI VMexits.
This is also useful to test nested KVM to see that L1
handles #SMIs correctly in case when L1 doesn't intercept #SMI.
Finally the default remains the same, the SMI are intercepted
by default thus this patch doesn't have any effect unless

While KVM's MMU should be fully reset by loading of nested CR0/CR3/CR4
by KVM_SET_SREGS, we are not in nested mode yet when we do it and therefore
only root_mmu is reset.
On regular nested entries we call nested_svm_load_cr3 which both updates
the guest's CR3 in the MMU when it is needed, and it also initializes
the mmu again which makes it initialize the walk_mmu as well when nested
paging is enabled in both host and guest.
Since we don't call nested_svm_load_cr3 on nested state load,
the walk_mmu can be left uninitialized, which can lead to a NULL pointer
dereference while accessing it if we happen to get a nested page fault
right after entering the nested guest first time after the migration and
we decide to emulate it, which leads to the emulator trying to access
walk_mmu->gva_to_gpa which is NULL.
Therefore we should call this function on nested state load as well.

According to APM, the #DB intercept for a single-stepped VMRUN must happen
after the completion of that instruction, when the guest does #VMEXIT to
the host. However, in the current implementation of KVM, the #DB intercept
for a single-stepped VMRUN happens after the completion of the instruction
that follows the VMRUN instruction. When the #DB intercept handler is
invoked, it shows the RIP of the instruction that follows VMRUN, instead of
of VMRUN itself. This is an incorrect RIP as far as single-stepping VMRUN
is concerned.
This patch fixes the problem by checking, in nested_svm_vmexit(), for the
condition that the VMRUN instruction is being single-stepped and if so,
queues the pending #DB intercept so that the #DB is accounted for before
we execute L1's next instruction.

Fixing nested_vmcb_check_save to avoid all TOC/TOU races
is a bit harder in released kernels, so do the bare minimum
by avoiding that EFER.SVME is cleared. This is problematic
because svm_set_efer frees the data structures for nested
virtualization if EFER.SVME is cleared.
Also check that EFER.SVME remains set after a nested vmexit;
clearing it could happen if the bit is zero in the save area
that is passed to KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE (the save area of the
nested state corresponds to the nested hypervisor's state
and is restored on the next nested vmexit).

Newer AMD processors have a feature to virtualize the use of the
SPEC_CTRL MSR. Presence of this feature is indicated via CPUID
function 0x8000000A_EDX[20]: GuestSpecCtrl. Hypervisors are not
required to enable this feature since it is automatically enabled on
processors that support it.
A hypervisor may wish to impose speculation controls on guest
execution or a guest may want to impose its own speculation controls.
Therefore, the processor implements both host and guest
versions of SPEC_CTRL.
When in host mode, the host SPEC_CTRL value is in effect and writes
update only the host version of SPEC_CTRL. On a VMRUN, the processor
loads the guest version of SPEC_CTRL from the VMCB. When the guest
writes SPEC_CTRL, only the guest version is updated. On a VMEXIT,
the guest version is saved into the VMCB and the processor returns
to only using the host SPEC_CTRL for speculation control. The guest
SPEC_CTRL is located at offset 0x2E0 in the VMCB.
The effective SPEC_CTRL setting is the guest SPEC_CTRL setting or'ed
with the hypervisor SPEC_CTRL setting. This allows the hypervisor to
ensure a minimum SPEC_CTRL if desired.
This support also fixes an issue where a guest may sometimes see an
inconsistent value for the SPEC_CTRL MSR on processors that support
this feature. With the current SPEC_CTRL support, the first write to
SPEC_CTRL is intercepted and the virtualized version of the SPEC_CTRL
MSR is not updated. When the guest reads back the SPEC_CTRL MSR, it
will be 0x0, instead of the actual expected value. There isn’t a
security concern here, because the host SPEC_CTRL value is or’ed with
the Guest SPEC_CTRL value to generate the effective SPEC_CTRL value.
KVM writes with the guest's virtualized SPEC_CTRL value to SPEC_CTRL
MSR just before the VMRUN, so it will always have the actual value
even though it doesn’t appear that way in the guest. The guest will
only see the proper value for the SPEC_CTRL register if the guest was
to write to the SPEC_CTRL register again. With Virtual SPEC_CTRL
support, the save area spec_ctrl is properly saved and restored.
So, the guest will always see the proper value when it is read back.

svm->vmcb will now point to a separate vmcb for L1 (not nested) or L2

The main advantages are removing get_host_vmcb and hsave, in favor of
concepts that are shared with VMX.
We don't need anymore to stash the L1 registers in hsave while L2
runs, but we need to copy the VMLOAD/VMSAVE registers from VMCB01 to
VMCB02 and back. This more or less has the same cost, but code-wise
nested_svm_vmloadsave can be reused.
This patch omits several optimizations that are possible:
- for simplicity there is some wholesale copying of vmcb.control areas
which can go away.
- we should be able to better use the VMCB01 and VMCB02 clean bits.
- another possibility is to always use VMCB01 for VMLOAD and VMSAVE,
thus avoiding the copy of VMLOAD/VMSAVE registers from VMCB01 to
VMCB02 and back.

An example of the usage of 'nested_run' is to help the host administrator
to easily track if any L1 VM is used to run L2 VM. Suppose there is issue
that may happen with nested virtualization, the administrator will be able
to easily narrow down and confirm if the issue is due to nested

Right now, enter_svm_guest_mode is calling nested_prepare_vmcb_save and
nested_prepare_vmcb_control. This results in is_guest_mode being false
until the end of nested_prepare_vmcb_control.
This is a problem because nested_prepare_vmcb_save can in turn cause
changes to the intercepts and these have to be applied to the "host VMCB"
(stored in svm->nested.hsave) and then merged with the VMCB12 intercepts
into svm->vmcb.
In particular, without this change we forget to set the CR0 read and CR0
write intercepts when running a real mode L2 guest with NPT disabled.
The guest is therefore able to see the CR0.PG bit that KVM sets to
enable "paged real mode". This patch fixes the svm.flat mode_switch
test case with npt=0. There are no other problematic calls in
nested_prepare_vmcb_save.
Moving is_guest_mode to the end is done since commit 06fc777269
("KVM: SVM: Activate nested state only when guest state is complete",
2010-04-25). However, back then KVM didn't grab a different VMCB
when updating the intercepts, it had already copied/merged L1's stuff
to L0's VMCB, and then updated L0's VMCB regardless of is_nested().
Later recalc_intercepts was introduced in commit 384c636843
("KVM: SVM: Add function to recalculate intercept masks", 2011-01-12).
This introduced the bug, because recalc_intercepts now throws away
the intercept manipulations that svm_set_cr0 had done in the meanwhile
to svm->vmcb.

In case of npt=0 on host, nSVM needs the same .inject_page_fault tweak
as VMX has, to make sure that shadow mmu faults are injected as vmexits.
It is not clear why this is needed at all, but for now keep the same
code as VMX and we'll fix it for both.
