[RFC/PATCH 2] kvm: x86: handle KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS/KVM_VCPUEVENT_VALID_SMM properly

["Herongguang (Stephen)" <herongguang.he@huawei.com>]

After making memory consistent between source and destination (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-09/msg03069.html), there can
still reproduce instruction emulation failure in destination side if migration when VM’s in grub stage:

Note CS+EIP=0xA8000, which is within SMRAM, however SMM=0 is confusing! So I found that in kvm_put_vcpu_events, events.flags(KVM_VCPUEVENT_VALID_SMM) is
overwritten by setting events.flags to 0, which is obvious mistaken.

So it comes to patch 3. After patch 3, however it results kvm-kmod crash:

[69337.843957] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
[69337.849430] Kernel Offset: disabled

I found that when kernel crashes, in tdp_page_fault ->__direct_map ->mmu_set_spte ->rmap_add->gfn_to_rmap-> __gfn_to_memslot &__gfn_to_rmap,
in __gfn_to_memslot returned NULL, and __gfn_to_rmap uses this NULL pointer (slot) without checking, which is bad.


After some investigation, I found when kernel crashes, gfn is 0xA7, in SMRAM region again. And at this time, kvm_memslots_for_spte_role is false,
however actually (vcpu->arch.hflags & HF_SMM_MASK) is true!

So I think there is some lacking in kvm-kmod’s kvm_vcpu_ioctl_x86_set_vcpu_events that handles KVM_VCPUEVENT_VALID_SMM. I tried following patch,
it seems works fine.

Do you think this patch is appropriate or not enough? Thanks.
