[ Upstream commit 9e2f6498efbbc880d7caa7935839e682b64fe5a6 ]

The selftests, when built with newer versions of clang, is found
to have over optimized guests' ucall() function, and eliminating
the stores for uc.cmd (perhaps due to no immediate readers). This
resulted in the userspace side always reading a value of '0', and
causing multiple test failures.

As a result, prevent the compiler from optimizing the stores in
ucall() with WRITE_ONCE().

Fix the layout of 'struct desc64' to match the layout described in the
SDM Vol 3, Chapter 3 "Protected-Mode Memory Management", section 3.4.5
"Segment Descriptors", Figure 3-8 "Segment Descriptor".  The test added
later in this series relies on this and crashes if this layout is not
correct.

[ Upstream commit 8ffdaf9155ebe517cdec5edbcca19ba6e7ee9c3c ]

I got this error when building kvm selftests:

/usr/bin/ld: /home/xz/git/linux/tools/testing/selftests/kvm/libkvm.a(vmx.o):/home/xz/git/linux/tools/testing/selftests/kvm/include/evmcs.h:222: multiple definition of `current_evmcs'; /tmp/cco1G48P.o:/home/xz/git/linux/tools/testing/selftests/kvm/include/evmcs.h:222: first defined here

I think it's because evmcs.h is included both in a test file and a lib file so
the structs have multiple declarations when linking.  After all it's not a good
habit to declare structs in the header files.

Check that accesses by nested guests are logged according to the
L1 physical addresses rather than L2.

Most of the patch is really adding EPT support to the testing
framework.

<id>90a48843a18663a25aa70c6d717d38a4443e5e29</id>
<content type='text'>
After commit e8bb4755eea2("KVM: selftests: Split ucall.c into architecture
specific files") selftests which use ucall on x86 started segfaulting and
apparently it's gcc to blame: it "optimizes" ucall() function throwing away
va_start/va_end part because it thinks the structure is not being used.
Previously, it couldn't do that because the there was also MMIO version and
the decision which particular implementation to use was done at runtime.

With older gccs it's possible to solve the problem by adding 'volatile'
to 'struct ucall' but at least with gcc-8.3 this trick doesn't work.

'memory' clobber seems to do the job.

Remove the duplication code in run_test() of dirty_log_test because
after some reordering of functions now we can directly use the outcome
of vm_create().

Meanwhile, with the new VM_MODE_PXXV48_4K, we can safely revert
b442324b58 too where we stick the x86_64 PA width to 39 bits for
dirty_log_test.
