When running the tsc_adjust kvm-unit-test on an AMD processor with the
IA32_TSC_ADJUST feature enabled, the WARN_ON in svm_adjust_tsc_offset can be
triggered. This WARN_ON checks for a negative adjustment in case __scale_tsc
is called; however it may trigger unnecessary warnings.
This patch moves the WARN_ON to trigger only if __scale_tsc will actually be
called from svm_adjust_tsc_offset. In addition make adj in kvm_set_msr_common
s64 since this can have signed values.

[The results were reproducible on all of Nehalem, Sandy Bridge and
Ivy Bridge. The slowness of manual switching is because writing
to EFER with WRMSR triggers a TLB flush, even if the only bit you're
touching is SCE (so the page table format is not affected). Doing
the write as part of vmentry/vmexit, instead, does not flush the TLB,
probably because all processors that have EPT also have VPID. - Paolo]

kvm updates the version number for the guest paravirt clock structure by

version, so will write version = 2 in the first update for every new VM,
including after restoring a saved state. If guest state is saved during
reading the clock, it could read and accept struct fields and guest TSC
from two different updates. This changes the code to increment the guest

Task-switch emulation checks the privilege level prior to performing the
task-switch. This check is incorrect in the case of task-gates, in which the
tss.dpl is ignored, and can cause superfluous exceptions. Moreover this check
is unnecassary, since the CPU checks the privilege levels prior to exiting.
Intel SDM 25.4.2 says "If CALL or JMP accesses a TSS descriptor directly
outside IA-32e mode, privilege levels are checked on the TSS descriptor" prior
to exiting. AMD 15.14.1 says "The intercept is checked before the task switch
takes place but after the incoming TSS and task gate (if one was involved) have
been checked for correctness."

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"

* When the irqchip is added to the destination VM, the apic_sw_disabled

* When the KVM_SET_IRQCHIP ioctl is invoked, it is decremented (0)
* When the guest disables the bit in the SPIV register, e.g. as part of
shutdown, apic_set_spiv does not notice the change and the static key is
_not_ incremented.
* When the guest is destroyed, the static key is decremented (-1),

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.

Make the code reusable.
If the timer was already pending, we shouldn't be waiting in a queue,
so wake_up can be skipped, simplifying the path.
There is no 'reinject' case => the comment is removed.
Current race behaves correctly.

When commit 6adba52742 (KVM: Let host know whether the guest can
handle async PF in non-userspace context.) is introduced, actually
bit 2 still is reserved and should be zero. Instead, bit 1 is 1 to
indicate if asynchronous page faults can be injected when vcpu is
in cpl == 0, and also please see this,
in the file kvm_para.h, #define KVM_ASYNC_PF_SEND_ALWAYS (1 << 1).

If DR4/5 is accessed when it is unavailable (since CR4.DE is set), then #UD
should be generated even if CPL>0. This is according to Intel SDM Table 6-2:
"Priority Among Simultaneous Exceptions and Interrupts".
Note, that this may happen on the first DR access, even if the host does not
sets debug breakpoints. Obviously, it occurs when the host debugs the guest.
This patch moves the DR4/5 checks from __kvm_set_dr/_kvm_get_dr to handle_dr.
The emulator already checks DR4/5 availability in check_dr_read. Nested
virutalization related calls to kvm_set_dr/kvm_get_dr would not like to inject
exceptions to the guest.
As for SVM, the patch follows the previous logic as much as possible. Anyhow,
it appears the DR interception code might be buggy - even if the DR access
may cause an exception, the instruction is skipped.

When read access is performed using a readable code segment, the "conforming"
and "non-conforming" checks should not be done. As a result, read using
non-conforming readable code segment fails.
This is according to Intel SDM 5.6.1 ("Accessing Data in Code Segments").
The fix is not to perform the "non-conforming" checks if the access is not a
fetch; the relevant checks are already done when loading the segment.

DR7.LE should be cleared during task-switch. This feature is poorly documented.
For reference, see:
http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.828/2005/readings/i386/s12_02.htm
SDM [17.2.4]:
This feature is not supported in the P6 family processors, later IA-32
processors, and Intel 64 processors.
AMD [2:13.1.1.4]:
This bit is ignored by implementations of the AMD64 architecture.
Intel's formulation could mean that it isn't even zeroed, but current
hardware indeed does not behave like that.

In long-mode, when the address size is 4 bytes, the linear address is not
truncated as the emulator mistakenly does. Instead, the offset within the
segment (the ea field) should be truncated according to the address size.
As Intel SDM says: "In 64-bit mode, the effective address components are added
and the effective address is truncated ... before adding the full 64-bit
segment base."

Intel SDM 17.2.4 (Debug Control Register (DR7)) says: "The processor clears the
GD flag upon entering to the debug exception handler." This sentence may be
misunderstood as if it happens only on #DB due to debug-register protection,
but it happens regardless to the cause of the #DB.
Fix the behavior to match both real hardware and Bochs.

KVM does not deliver x2APIC broadcast messages with physical mode. Intel SDM
(10.12.9 ICR Operation in x2APIC Mode) states: "A destination ID value of
FFFF_FFFFH is used for broadcast of interrupts in both logical destination and
physical destination modes."
In addition, the local-apic enables cluster mode broadcast. As Intel SDM
10.6.2.2 says: "Broadcast to all local APICs is achieved by setting all
destination bits to one." This patch enables cluster mode broadcast.
The fix tries to combine broadcast in different modes through a unified code.
One rare case occurs when the source of IPI has its APIC disabled. In such
case, the source can still issue IPIs, but since the source is not obliged to
have the same LAPIC mode as the enabled ones, we cannot rely on it.
Since it is a rare case, it is unoptimized and done on the slow-path.
