[ Upstream commit f9b84e19221efc5f493156ee0329df3142085f28 ]

Use kvm_vcpu_gfn_to_hva() when retrieving the host page size so that the
correct set of memslots is used when handling x86 page faults in SMM.

<title>KVM: x86: Use gpa_t for cr2/gpa to fix TDP support on 32-bit KVM</title>

commit 736c291c9f36b07f8889c61764c28edce20e715d upstream.

Convert a plethora of parameters and variables in the MMU and page fault
flows from type gva_t to gpa_t to properly handle TDP on 32-bit KVM.

Thanks to PSE and PAE paging, 32-bit kernels can access 64-bit physical
addresses.  When TDP is enabled, the fault address is a guest physical
address and thus can be a 64-bit value, even when both KVM and its guest
are using 32-bit virtual addressing, e.g. VMX's VMCS.GUEST_PHYSICAL is a
64-bit field, not a natural width field.

Using a gva_t for the fault address means KVM will incorrectly drop the
upper 32-bits of the GPA.  Ditto for gva_to_gpa() when it is used to
translate L2 GPAs to L1 GPAs.

Opportunistically rename variables and parameters to better reflect the
dual address modes, e.g. use "cr2_or_gpa" for fault addresses and plain
"addr" instead of "vaddr" when the address may be either a GVA or an L2
GPA.  Similarly, use "gpa" in the nonpaging_page_fault() flows to avoid
a confusing "gpa_t gva" declaration; this also sets the stage for a
future patch to combing nonpaging_page_fault() and tdp_page_fault() with
minimal churn.

Sprinkle in a few comments to document flows where an address is known
to be a GVA and thus can be safely truncated to a 32-bit value.  Add
WARNs in kvm_handle_page_fault() and FNAME(gva_to_gpa_nested)() to help
document such cases and detect bugs.

commit 917248144db5d7320655dbb41d3af0b8a0f3d589 upstream.

__kvm_map_gfn()'s call to gfn_to_pfn_memslot() is
* relatively expensive
* in certain cases (such as when done from atomic context) cannot be called

Stashing gfn-to-pfn mapping should help with both cases.

This is part of CVE-2019-3016.

kvm_vcpu_(un)map operates on gfns from any current address space.
In certain cases we want to make sure we are not mapping SMRAM
and for that we can use kvm_(un)map_gfn() that we are introducing
in this patch.

<content type='text'>
In IOAPIC fixed delivery mode instead of flushing the scan
requests to all vCPUs, we should only send the requests to
vCPUs specified within the destination field.

This patch introduces kvm_get_dest_vcpus_mask() API which
retrieves an array of target vCPUs by using
kvm_apic_map_get_dest_lapic() and then based on the
vcpus_idx, it sets the bit in a bitmap. However, if the above
fails kvm_get_dest_vcpus_mask() finds the target vCPUs by
traversing all available vCPUs. Followed by setting the
bits in the bitmap.

If we had different vCPUs in the previous request for the
same redirection table entry then bits corresponding to
these vCPUs are also set. This to done to keep
ioapic_handled_vectors synchronized.

This bitmap is then eventually passed on to
kvm_make_vcpus_request_mask() to generate a masked request
only for the target vCPUs.

This would enable us to reduce the latency overhead on isolated
vCPUs caused by the IPI to process due to KVM_REQ_IOAPIC_SCAN.
