When the CS base is not page-aligned, the linear address of the code could
get close to the page boundary (e.g. 0x...ffe) even if the EIP value is
not. So we need to first linearize the address, and only then compute
the number of valid bytes that can be fetched.
This happens relatively often when executing real mode code.

We do not need a memory copying loop anymore in insn_fetch; we
can use a byte-aligned pointer to access instruction fields directly
from the fetch_cache. This eliminates 50-150 cycles (corresponding to
a 5-10% improvement in performance) from each instruction.
Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
do_insn_fetch_bytes will only be called once in a given insn_fetch and
insn_fetch_arr, because in fact it will only be called at most twice
for any instruction and the first call is explicit in x86_decode_insn.
This observation lets us hoist the call out of the memory copying loop.
It does not buy performance, because most fetches are one byte long
anyway, but it prepares for the next patch.
The overflow check is tricky, but correct. Because do_insn_fetch_bytes
has already been called once, we know that fc->end is at least 15. So
it is okay to subtract the number of bytes we want to read.
Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
Hoist the common case up from do_insn_fetch_byte to do_insn_fetch,
and prime the fetch_cache in x86_decode_insn. This helps a bit the
compiler and the branch predictor, but above all it lays the
ground for further changes in the next few patches.

rip_relative is only set if decode_modrm runs, and if you have ModRM
you will also have a memopp. We can then access memopp unconditionally.
Note that rip_relative cannot be hoisted up to decode_modrm, or you
break "mov $0, xyz(%rip)".
Also, move typecast on "out of range value" of mem.ea to decode_modrm.
Together, all these optimizations save about 50 cycles on each emulated
instructions (4-6%).

We can just blindly move all 16 bytes of ctxt->src's value to ctxt->dst.
write_register_operand will take care of writing only the lower bytes.
Avoiding a call to memcpy (the compiler optimizes it out) gains about
200 cycles on kvm-unit-tests for register-to-register moves, and makes
them about as fast as arithmetic instructions.
We could perhaps get a larger speedup by moving all instructions _except_
moves out of x86_emulate_insn, removing opcode_len, and replacing the
switch statement with an inlined em_mov.

There are several checks for "peculiar" aspects of instructions in both
x86_decode_insn and x86_emulate_insn. Group them together, and guard
them with a single "if" that lets the processor quickly skip them all.
Make this more effective by adding two more flag bits that say whether the
.intercept and .check_perm fields are valid. We will reuse these
flags later to avoid initializing fields of the emulate_ctxt struct.
This skims about 30 cycles for each emulated instructions, which is
approximately a 3% improvement.

During task switch, all of CS.DPL, CS.RPL, SS.DPL must match (in addition
to all the other requirements) and will be the new CPL. So far this
worked by carefully setting the CS selector and flag before doing the
task switch; setting CS.selector will already change the CPL.
However, this will not work once we get the CPL from SS.DPL, because
then you will have to set the full segment descriptor cache to change
the CPL. ctxt->ops->cpl(ctxt) will then return the old CPL during the
task switch, and the check that SS.DPL == CPL will fail.
Temporarily assume that the CPL comes from CS.RPL during task switch
to a protected-mode task. This is the same approach used in QEMU's
emulation code, which (until version 2.0) manually tracks the CPL.

When I was looking at RHEL5.9's failure to start with
unrestricted_guest=0/emulate_invalid_guest_state=1, I got it working with a
slightly older tree than kvm.git. I now debugged the remaining failure,
which was introduced by commit 660696d1 (KVM: X86 emulator: fix
source operand decoding for 8bit mov[zs]x instructions, 2013-04-24)
introduced a similar mis-emulation to the one in commit 8acb4207 (KVM:
fix sil/dil/bpl/spl in the mod/rm fields, 2013-05-30). The incorrect
decoding occurs in 8-bit movzx/movsx instructions whose 8-bit operand
is sil/dil/bpl/spl.
Needless to say, "movzbl %bpl, %eax" does occur in RHEL5.9's decompression
prolog, just a handful of instructions before finally giving control to
the decompressed vmlinux and getting out of the invalid guest state.
Because OpMem8 bypasses decode_modrm, the same handling of the REX prefix
must be applied to OpMem8.

This basically came from the need to be able to boot 32-bit Atom SMP
guests on an AMD host, i.e. a host which doesn't support MOVBE. As a
matter of fact, qemu has since recently received MOVBE support but we
cannot share that with kvm emulation and thus we have to do this in the
host. We're waay faster in kvm anyway. :-)
So, we piggyback on the #UD path and emulate the MOVBE functionality.
With it, an 8-core SMP guest boots in under 6 seconds.
Also, requesting MOVBE emulation needs to happen explicitly to work,
i.e. qemu -cpu n270,+movbe...
Just FYI, a fairly straight-forward boot of a MOVBE-enabled 3.9-rc6+
kernel in kvm executes MOVBE ~60K times.
