KVM: don't check for PF_VCPU when yielding

kvm_enter_guest() has to be called with preemption disabled and will
set PF_VCPU.  Current code takes PF_VCPU as a hint that the VCPU thread
is running and therefore needs no yield.

However, the check on PF_VCPU is wrong on s390, where preemption has
to stay enabled in order to correctly process page faults.  Thus,
s390 reenables preemption and starts to execute the guest.  The thread
might be scheduled out between kvm_enter_guest() and kvm_exit_guest(),
resulting in PF_VCPU being set but not being run.  When this happens,
the opportunity for directed yield is missed.

However, this check is done already in kvm_vcpu_on_spin before calling
kvm_vcpu_yield_loop:

        if (!ACCESS_ONCE(vcpu->preempted))
                continue;

so the check on PF_VCPU is superfluous in general, and this patch
removes it.

kvm: remove IA64 ioctls

KVM ia64 is no longer present so new applications shouldn't use them.
The main problem is that they most likely didn't work even before,
because of a conflict in the #defines:

  #define KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG       _IOW(KVMIO,  0x9b, struct kvm_guest_debug)
  #define KVM_IA64_VCPU_SET_STACK   _IOW(KVMIO,  0x9b, void *)

The argument to KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG is:

  struct kvm_guest_debug {
   __u32 control;
   __u32 pad;
   struct kvm_guest_debug_arch arch;
  };

  struct kvm_guest_debug_arch {
  };

meaning that sizeof(struct kvm_guest_debug) == sizeof(void *) == 8
and KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG == KVM_IA64_VCPU_SET_STACK.

KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG is handled in virt/kvm/kvm_main.c before even calling
kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl (which would have handled KVM_IA64_VCPU_SET_STACK),
so KVM_IA64_VCPU_SET_STACK would just return -EINVAL.

KVM: x86: Emulator performs privilege checks on __linearize

When segment is accessed, real hardware does not perform any privilege level
checks.  In contrast, KVM emulator does. This causes some discrepencies from
real hardware. For instance, reading from readable code segment may fail due to
incorrect segment checks. In addition, it introduces unnecassary overhead.

To reference Intel SDM 5.5 ("Privilege Levels"): "Privilege levels are checked
when the segment selector of a segment descriptor is loaded into a segment
register." The SDM never mentions privilege level checks during memory access,
except for loading far pointers in section 5.10 ("Pointer Validation"). Those
are actually segment selector loads and are emulated in the similarily (i.e.,
regardless to __linearize checks).

This behavior was also checked using sysexit. A data-segment whose DPL=0 was

KVM: x86: Stack size is overridden by __linearize

When performing segmented-read/write in the emulator for stack operations, it
ignores the stack size, and uses the ad_bytes as indication for the pointer
size. As a result, a wrong address may be accessed.

To fix this behavior, we can remove the masking of address in __linearize and
perform it beforehand.  It is already done for the operands (so currently it is
inefficiently done twice). It is missing in two cases:
1. When using rip_relative
2. On fetch_bit_operand that changes the address.

This patch masks the address on these two occassions, and removes the masking
from __linearize.

Note that it does not mask EIP during fetch. In protected/legacy mode code
fetch when RIP >= 2^32 should result in #GP and not wrap-around. Since we make

KVM: x86: Fix lost interrupt on irr_pending race

apic_find_highest_irr assumes irr_pending is set if any vector in APIC_IRR is
set.  If this assumption is broken and apicv is disabled, the injection of
interrupts may be deferred until another interrupt is delivered to the guest.
Ultimately, if no other interrupt should be injected to that vCPU, the pending
interrupt may be lost.

commit 56cc2406d68c ("KVM: nVMX: fix "acknowledge interrupt on exit" when APICv
is in use") changed the behavior of apic_clear_irr so irr_pending is cleared
after setting APIC_IRR vector. After this commit, if apic_set_irr and
apic_clear_irr run simultaneously, a race may occur, resulting in APIC_IRR
vector set, and irr_pending cleared. In the following example, assume a single
vector is set in IRR prior to calling apic_clear_irr:

apic_set_irr apic_clear_irr
------------ --------------
apic->irr_pending = true;
apic_clear_vector(...);
vec = apic_search_irr(apic);
// => vec == -1
apic_set_vector(...);
apic->irr_pending = (vec != -1);
// => apic->irr_pending == false

Nonetheless, it appears the race might even occur prior to this commit:

apic_set_irr apic_clear_irr
------------ --------------
apic->irr_pending = true;
apic->irr_pending = false;
apic_clear_vector(...);
if (apic_search_irr(apic) != -1)
apic->irr_pending = true;
// => apic->irr_pending == false
apic_set_vector(...);

Fixing this issue by:
1. Restoring the previous behavior of apic_clear_irr: clear irr_pending, call
   apic_clear_vector, and then if APIC_IRR is non-zero, set irr_pending.
2. On apic_set_irr: first call apic_set_vector, then set irr_pending.

KVM: s390: Fix ipte locking

ipte_unlock_siif uses cmpxchg to replace the in-memory data of the ipte
lock together with ACCESS_ONCE for the intial read.

union ipte_control {
        unsigned long val;
        struct {
                unsigned long k  : 1;
                unsigned long kh : 31;
                unsigned long kg : 32;
        };
};
[...]
static void ipte_unlock_siif(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu)
{
        union ipte_control old, new, *ic;

        ic = &vcpu->kvm->arch.sca->ipte_control;
        do {
                new = old = ACCESS_ONCE(*ic);
                new.kh--;
                if (!new.kh)
                        new.k = 0;
        } while (cmpxchg(&ic->val, old.val, new.val) != old.val);
        if (!new.kh)
                wake_up(&vcpu->kvm->arch.ipte_wq);
}

The new value, is loaded twice from memory with gcc 4.7.2 of
fedora 18, despite the ACCESS_ONCE:

--->

l       %r4,0(%r3)      <--- load first 32 bit of lock (k and kh) in r4
alfi    %r4,2147483647  <--- add -1 to r4
llgtr   %r4,%r4         <--- zero out the sign bit of r4
lg      %r1,0(%r3)      <--- load all 64 bit of lock into new
lgr     %r2,%r1         <--- load the same into old

lgr     %r4,%r2
csg     %r4,%r1,0(%r3)
cgr     %r2,%r4
jne     a70 <ipte_unlock+0xc8>

If the memory value changes between the first load (l) and the second
load (lg) we are broken. If that happens VCPU threads will hang
(unkillable) in handle_ipte_interlock.

Andreas Krebbel analyzed this and tracked it down to a compiler bug in
that version:
"while it is not that obvious the C99 standard basically forbids
duplicating the memory access also in that case. For an argumentation of
a similiar case please see:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22278#c43

For the implementation-defined cases regarding volatile there are some
GCC-specific clarifications which can be found here:
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Volatiles.html#Volatiles

I've tracked down the problem with a reduced testcase. The problem was
that during a tree level optimization (SRA - scalar replacement of
aggregates) the volatile marker is lost. And an RTL level optimizer (CSE
- common subexpression elimination) then propagated the memory read into
  its second use introducing another access to the memory location. So
indeed Christian's suspicion that the union access has something to do
with it is correct (since it triggered the SRA optimization).

This issue has been reported and fixed in the GCC 4.8 development cycle:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58145"

This patch replaces the ACCESS_ONCE scheme with a barrier() based scheme
that should work for all supported compilers.

The check in kvm_set_lapic_tscdeadline_msr() was trying to prevent a
situation where we lose a pending deadline timer in a MSR write.
Losing it is fine, because it effectively occurs before the timer fired,
so we should be able to cancel or postpone it.

Another problem comes from interaction with QEMU, or other userspace
that can set deadline MSR without a good reason, when timer is already
pending:  one guest's deadline request results in more than one
interrupt because one is injected immediately on MSR write from
userspace and one through hrtimer later.

The solution is to remove the injection when replacing a pending timer
and to improve the usual QEMU path, we inject without a hrtimer when the
deadline has already passed.

This patch moves the DR4/5 checks from __kvm_set_dr/_kvm_get_dr to handle_dr.
