[PATCH v3 00/10] KVM: selftests: Stress save+restore and #PF (ft. nested)

[Yosry Ahmed <yosry@kernel.org>]

Add a stress test for save+restore while the guest is triggering and
handling #PFs, in both L1 and L2. The goal was to create a generic
selftest that would catch bugs like the one fixed by commit 5c247d08bc81
("KVM: nSVM: Use vcpu->arch.cr2 when updating vmcb12 on nested
#VMEXIT"), instead of relying on high-level testing (e.g. building GCC
in L2) to catch it.

The test tries to be as generic as possible by triggering #PFs in a
guest and installing a proper #PF handler, while the host is
continuously doing save+restore cycles. Exiting to userspace is randomly
triggered by a second thread that constantly signals the vCPU thread.

Patches (1-6) are prep patches, fixing GPR switching for nSVM and
generalizing it to cover nVMX, which is needed for the test to run
properly with nVMX. Patch 4 removes HORRIFIC_L2_UCALL_CLOBBER_HACK, as
it is no longer needed. While this series does not have the "complete"
fix added by commit 6783ca4105a7 ("KVM: selftests: Add a shameful hack
to preserve/clobber GPRs across ucall"), it's a good step in the right
direction.

Patches (7-10) add the actual test. The test is first introduced as a
simple (read: dummy) stress test that just explicitly syncs to userspace
after each #PF handling to do save+restore, then gradually evolves to
add the random signaling and nested support. After the last patch, the
test reliably reproduces the CR2 bug.

v2 -> v3:
- Rebased on top of L2 stack rework in selftests.
- Fix GPR array size (i.e. NR_GUEST_REGS) [Sashiko].
- Handle evmcs_vmlaunch() and evmcs_vmresume() [Sashiko].
- Fix off-by-one assertion error in intermediate patches.
- Increase inter-signal delay from 100us to 1msec.

v1 -> v2:
- Switch guest_regs to an array, which simplifies the offsets
  calculation and forgoes the dependency on using OFFSET() or defining
  the struct offsets for assembly otherwise.
- Move page table mapping to the test (instead of a generic helper), as
  the helper mistakenly tried to map the entire memslot, not just page
  tables.
- Do not use identity mappings for page tables as it collisions with
  GVAs used for ELF in some cases.
- Simplify page table walking by using loops.
- Make sure the signals are ignored before creating the signaling
  thread [Sashiko]
- Assert that the guest actually ran and had page faults [Sashiko]
- Add a patch to fix RAX and RFLAGS offsets in run_guest() [Sashiko]
- Initialize exception_has_payload when injecting a #UD [Sashiko]
- Only check KVM_STATE_NESTED_GUEST_MODE when running in nested mode
