From: Xin Li <xin3.li@intel.com>
Setup VM entry/exit FRED controls in the global vmcs_config for proper
FRED VMCS fields management:
1) load guest FRED state upon VM entry.
2) save guest FRED state during VM exit.
3) load host FRED state during VM exit.
Also add FRED control consistency checks to the existing VM entry/exit
consistency check framework.

Change in v5:
* Remove the pair VM_ENTRY_LOAD_IA32_FRED/VM_EXIT_ACTIVATE_SECONDARY_CONTROLS,
since the secondary VM exit controls are unconditionally enabled anyway, and
there are features other than FRED needing it (Chao Gao).
* Add TB from Xuelian Guo.
Change in v4:
* Do VM exit/entry consistency checks using the new macro from Sean
Christopherson.
Changes in v3:
* Add FRED control consistency checks to the existing VM entry/exit
consistency check framework (Sean Christopherson).
* Just do the unnecessary FRED state load/store on every VM entry/exit
(Sean Christopherson).

Do not virtualize FRED if FRED consistency checks fail.
Either on broken hardware, or when run KVM on top of another hypervisor
before the underlying hypervisor implements nested FRED correctly.

FRED introduced new fields in the host-state area of the VMCS for
stack levels 1->3 (HOST_IA32_FRED_RSP[123]), each respectively
corresponding to per CPU exception stacks for #DB, NMI and #DF.
KVM must populate these each time a vCPU is loaded onto a CPU.
Convert the __this_cpu_ist_{top,bottom}_va() macros into real
functions and export __this_cpu_ist_top_va().

Fix an indentation by replacing 8 spaces with a tab.
While at it, add empty lines before and after for better readability.

Initialize host VMCS FRED fields with host FRED MSRs' value and
guest VMCS FRED fields to 0.
FRED CPU state is managed in 9 new FRED MSRs:
IA32_FRED_CONFIG,
IA32_FRED_STKLVLS,
IA32_FRED_RSP0,
IA32_FRED_RSP1,
IA32_FRED_RSP2,
IA32_FRED_RSP3,
IA32_FRED_SSP1,
IA32_FRED_SSP2,
IA32_FRED_SSP3,
as well as a few existing CPU registers and MSRs:
CR4.FRED,
IA32_STAR,
IA32_KERNEL_GS_BASE,
IA32_PL0_SSP (also known as IA32_FRED_SSP0).
CR4, IA32_KERNEL_GS_BASE and IA32_STAR are already well managed.
Except IA32_FRED_RSP0 and IA32_FRED_SSP0, all other FRED CPU state
MSRs have corresponding VMCS fields in both the host-state and
guest-state areas. So KVM just needs to initialize them, and with
proper VM entry/exit FRED controls, a FRED CPU will keep tracking
host and guest FRED CPU state in VMCS automatically.

Change in v5:
* Add TB from Xuelian Guo.
Change in v4:
* Initialize host SSP[1-3] to 0s in vmx_set_constant_host_state()
because Linux doesn't support kernel shadow stacks (Chao Gao).
Change in v3:
* Use structure kvm_host_values to keep host fred config & stack levels
(Sean Christopherson).
Changes in v2:
* Use kvm_cpu_cap_has() instead of cpu_feature_enabled() to decouple
KVM's capability to virtualize a feature and host's enabling of a
feature (Chao Gao).
* Move guest FRED state init into __vmx_vcpu_reset() (Chao Gao).

From: Xin Li <xin3.li@intel.com>
On a userspace MSR filter change, set FRED MSR intercepts.
8 FRED MSRs, i.e., MSR_IA32_FRED_RSP[123], MSR_IA32_FRED_STKLVLS,
MSR_IA32_FRED_SSP[123] and MSR_IA32_FRED_CONFIG, are all safe to
be passthrough, because they all have a pair of corresponding host
and guest VMCS fields.
Both MSR_IA32_FRED_RSP0 and MSR_IA32_FRED_SSP0 are dedicated for
userspace event delivery only, IOW they are NOT used in any kernel
event delivery and the execution of ERETS. Thus KVM can run safely
with guest values in the two MSRs. As a result, save and restore of
their guest values are deferred until vCPU context switch and their
host values are restored upon host returning to userspace.

Changes in v5:
* Skip execution of vmx_set_intercept_for_fred_msr() if FRED is
not available or enabled (Sean).
* Use 'set' instead of 'flag' as the variable name to indicate
whether MSR interception should be enabled (Sean).
* Add TB from Xuelian Guo.

Save guest FRED RSP0 in vmx_prepare_switch_to_host() and restore it
in vmx_prepare_switch_to_guest() because MSR_IA32_FRED_RSP0 is passed
through to the guest, thus is volatile/unknown.
Note, host FRED RSP0 is restored in arch_exit_to_user_mode_prepare(),
regardless of whether it is modified in KVM.

Changes in v5:
* Remove the cpu_feature_enabled() check when set/get guest
MSR_IA32_FRED_RSP0, as guest_cpu_cap_has() should suffice (Sean).
* Add a comment when synchronizing current MSR_IA32_FRED_RSP0 MSR to
the kernel's local cache, because its handling is different from
the MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE handling (Sean).
* Add TB from Xuelian Guo.
Changes in v3:
* KVM only needs to save/restore guest FRED RSP0 now as host FRED RSP0
is restored in arch_exit_to_user_mode_prepare() (Sean Christopherson).
Changes in v2:
* Don't use guest_cpuid_has() in vmx_prepare_switch_to_{host,guest}(),
which are called from IRQ-disabled context (Chao Gao).
* Reset msr_guest_fred_rsp0 in __vmx_vcpu_reset() (Chao Gao).

Introduce helper functions for host MSR access to centralize and simplify
preemption handling. This improves code readability and reduces duplication,
laying the groundwork for a cleaner implementation of FRED RSP0 access
functions in the following patch.

Handle FRED MSR access requests, allowing FRED context to be set/get
from both host and guest.
During VM save/restore and live migration, FRED context needs to be
saved/restored, which requires FRED MSRs to be accessed from userspace,
e.g., Qemu.
Note, handling of MSR_IA32_FRED_SSP0, i.e., MSR_IA32_PL0_SSP, is not
added yet, which is done in the KVM CET patch set.

Change in v5:
* Use the newly added guest MSR read/write helpers (Sean).
* Check the size of fred_msr_vmcs_fields[] using static_assert() (Sean).
* Rewrite setting FRED MSRs to make it much easier to read (Sean).
* Add TB from Xuelian Guo.
Changes since v2:
* Add a helper to convert FRED MSR index to VMCS field encoding to
make the code more compact (Chao Gao).
* Get rid of the "host_initiated" check because userspace has to set
CPUID before MSRs (Chao Gao & Sean Christopherson).
* Address a few cleanup comments (Sean Christopherson).
Changes since v1:
* Use kvm_cpu_cap_has() instead of cpu_feature_enabled() (Chao Gao).
* Fail host requested FRED MSRs access if KVM cannot virtualize FRED
(Chao Gao).
* Handle the case FRED MSRs are valid but KVM cannot virtualize FRED
(Chao Gao).
* Add sanity checks when writing to FRED MSRs.

Return KVM_MSR_RET_UNSUPPORTED instead of 1.
KVM's uAPI allows userspace to read MSRs and write 0 to MSRs even if an MSR
isn't supported according to guest CPUIDs. Returning KVM_MSR_RET_UNSUPPORTED
allows kvm_do_msr_access() to suppress the failure when needed to comply with
the uAPI.
For more details, see kvm_do_msr_access().

You're right; I missed the API improvement.

Handle FRED MSR access requests, allowing FRED context to be set/get
from both host and guest.
During VM save/restore and live migration, FRED context needs to be
saved/restored, which requires FRED MSRs to be accessed from userspace,
e.g., Qemu.
Note, handling of MSR_IA32_FRED_SSP0, i.e., MSR_IA32_PL0_SSP, is not
added yet, which is done in the KVM CET patch set.

Change in v5A:
* Return KVM_MSR_RET_UNSUPPORTED instead of 1 when FRED is not available
(Chao Gao)
Change in v5:
* Use the newly added guest MSR read/write helpers (Sean).
* Check the size of fred_msr_vmcs_fields[] using static_assert() (Sean).
* Rewrite setting FRED MSRs to make it much easier to read (Sean).
* Add TB from Xuelian Guo.
Changes since v2:
* Add a helper to convert FRED MSR index to VMCS field encoding to
make the code more compact (Chao Gao).
* Get rid of the "host_initiated" check because userspace has to set
CPUID before MSRs (Chao Gao & Sean Christopherson).
* Address a few cleanup comments (Sean Christopherson).
Changes since v1:
* Use kvm_cpu_cap_has() instead of cpu_feature_enabled() (Chao Gao).
* Fail host requested FRED MSRs access if KVM cannot virtualize FRED
(Chao Gao).
* Handle the case FRED MSRs are valid but KVM cannot virtualize FRED
(Chao Gao).
* Add sanity checks when writing to FRED MSRs.

Set injected-event data when injecting a #PF, #DB, or #NM caused
by extended feature disable using FRED event delivery, and save
original-event data for being used as injected-event data.
Unlike IDT using some extra CPU register as part of an event
context, e.g., %cr2 for #PF, FRED saves a complete event context
in its stack frame, e.g., FRED saves the faulting linear address
of a #PF into the event data field defined in its stack frame.
Thus a new VMX control field called injected-event data is added
to provide the event data that will be pushed into a FRED stack
frame for VM entries that inject an event using FRED event delivery.
In addition, a new VM exit information field called original-event
data is added to store the event data that would have saved into a
FRED stack frame for VM exits that occur during FRED event delivery.
After such a VM exit is handled to allow the original-event to be
delivered, the data in the original-event data VMCS field needs to
be set into the injected-event data VMCS field for the injection of
the original event.

From: Xin Li <xin3.li@intel.com>
Set the VMX nested exception bit in VM-entry interruption information
field when injecting a nested exception using FRED event delivery to
ensure:
1) A nested exception is injected on a correct stack level.
2) The nested bit defined in FRED stack frame is set.
The event stack level used by FRED event delivery depends on whether
the event was a nested exception encountered during delivery of an
earlier event, because a nested exception is "regarded" as happening
on ring 0. E.g., when #PF is configured to use stack level 1 in
IA32_FRED_STKLVLS MSR:
- nested #PF will be delivered on the stack pointed by IA32_FRED_RSP1
MSR when encountered in ring 3 and ring 0.
- normal #PF will be delivered on the stack pointed by IA32_FRED_RSP0
MSR when encountered in ring 3.
The VMX nested-exception support ensures a correct event stack level is
chosen when a VM entry injects a nested exception.

Change in v5:
* Add TB from Xuelian Guo.
Change in v4:
* Move the check is_fred_enable() from kvm_multiple_exception() to
vmx_inject_exception() thus avoid bleeding FRED details into
kvm_multiple_exception() (Chao Gao).
Change in v3:
* Rework kvm_requeue_exception() to simply the code changes (Sean
Christopherson).
Change in v2:
* Set the nested flag when there is an original interrupt (Chao Gao).

The CR4.FRED bit, i.e., CR4[32], is no longer a reserved bit when
guest cpu cap has FRED, i.e.,
1) All of FRED KVM support is in place.
2) Guest enumerates FRED.
Otherwise it is still a reserved bit.

* Read guest FRED RSP0 with vmx_read_guest_fred_rsp0() (Sean).
* Add TB from Xuelian Guo.
Change in v3:
* Use (vmentry_ctrl & VM_ENTRY_LOAD_IA32_FRED) instead of is_fred_enabled()
(Chao Gao).
Changes in v2:
* Use kvm_cpu_cap_has() instead of cpu_feature_enabled() (Chao Gao).
* Dump guest FRED states only if guest has FRED enabled (Nikolay Borisov).

Change in v5:
* Add TB from Xuelian Guo.
Changes in v4:
* Advertise VMX nested exception as if the CPU supports it (Chao Gao).
* Split FRED state management controls (Chao Gao).
Changes in v3:
* Add and use nested_cpu_has_fred(vmcs12) because vmcs02 should be set
from vmcs12 if and only if the field is enabled in L1's VMX config
(Sean Christopherson).
* Fix coding style issues (Sean Christopherson).
Changes in v2:
* Remove hyperv TLFS related changes (Jeremi Piotrowski).
* Use kvm_cpu_cap_has() instead of cpu_feature_enabled() (Chao Gao).

I think we need to snapshot L1's FRED MSR values before nested VM entry and
propagate them to GUEST_IA32_FRED* of VMCS02 for
!nested_cpu_load_guest_fred_states(vmcs12) case. i.e., from guest's view,
FRED MSRs shouldn't change across VM-entry if "Load guest FRED states" isn't
set.
Refer to the comment above 'pre_vmenter_debugctl' definition and also the
CET implmenetation*.

From: Xin Li <xin3.li@intel.com>
Extend nested VMX context management to include FRED-related VMCS fields.
This enables proper handling of FRED state during nested virtualization.

Change in v5A:
* Handle FRED MSR pre-vmenter save/restore (Chao Gao).
Change in v5:
* Add TB from Xuelian Guo.
Changes in v4:
* Advertise VMX nested exception as if the CPU supports it (Chao Gao).
* Split FRED state management controls (Chao Gao).
Changes in v3:
* Add and use nested_cpu_has_fred(vmcs12) because vmcs02 should be set
from vmcs12 if and only if the field is enabled in L1's VMX config
(Sean Christopherson).
* Fix coding style issues (Sean Christopherson).
Changes in v2:
* Remove hyperv TLFS related changes (Jeremi Piotrowski).
* Use kvm_cpu_cap_has() instead of cpu_feature_enabled() (Chao Gao).

And this are actually nops. IOW, if I don't add this snippet of code,
the CPU still retains the guest FRED MSRs, i.e., using guest FRED state
from vmcs02 as that of vmcs01.

However I want to make this logic explicit. So we might end up with
adding the comment somewhere and removing all the pre_vmexit_fred_*
changes?

I confused myself. They are NOT nops, because __nested_vmx_vmexit()
switches from vmcs02 to vmcs01. The code should be (as the patch does):
__nested_vmx_vmexit()
{
...
/*
* Save guest FRED state of vmcs02 to nested.pre_vmexit_fred
* no matter if SECONDARY_VM_EXIT_SAVE_IA32_FRED is set.
*/
sync_vmcs02_to_vmcs12();
...
vmx_switch_vmcs();
...
/*
* Load nested.pre_vmexit_fred to guest FRED state of vmcs01
* if SECONDARY_VM_EXIT_LOAD_IA32_FRED is NOT set.
*/
load_vmcs12_host_state();
...
}
As not setting any of the two FRED VM-Exit controls are rare cases, we
need to add KVM tests with L1 that:
1) doesn't set SECONDARY_VM_EXIT_SAVE_IA32_FRED in VM-Exit controls.
2) doesn't set SECONDARY_VM_EXIT_LOAD_IA32_FRED in VM-Exit controls.
3) doesn't set both of the FRED VM-Exit controls.
Looks we need a framework for all VM-Exit controls which control whether
to save/load specific MSRs related to CPU features during VM-Exit?

As with real hardware, nested VMX validates various VMCS fields, including
control and guest/host state fields. This patch adds checks for FRED-related
VMCS fields to support nested FRED functionality.

From: Xin Li <xin3.li@intel.com>
Add VMX feature checks before accessing VMCS fields via SHADOW_FIELD_R[OW]
macros, as some fields may not be supported on all CPUs.
Functions like copy_shadow_to_vmcs12() and copy_vmcs12_to_shadow() access
VMCS fields that may not exist on certain hardware, such as
INJECTED_EVENT_DATA. To avoid VMREAD/VMWRITE warnings, skip syncing fields
tied to unsupported VMX features.

Change since v2:
* Add __SHADOW_FIELD_R[OW] for better readability or maintability (Sean).
