<title>KVM: fix KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG for memory slots of unaligned size</title>

<content type='text'>
If a memory slot's size is not a multiple of 64 pages (256K), then
the KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG API is unusable: clearing the final 64 pages
either requires the requested page range to go beyond memslot-&gt;npages,
or requires log-&gt;num_pages to be unaligned, and kvm_clear_dirty_log_protect
requires log-&gt;num_pages to be both in range and aligned.

To allow this case, allow log-&gt;num_pages not to be a multiple of 64 if
it ends exactly on the last page of the slot.

<content type='text'>
Add a simple test for SMM, based on VMX.  The test implements its own
sync between the guest and the host as using our ucall library seems to
be too cumbersome: SMI handler is happening in real-address mode.

This patch also fixes KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE to happen after
KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS, in fact it places it last.  This is because
KVM needs to know whether the processor is in SMM or not.

-no-pie was added to GCC at the same time as their configuration option
--enable-default-pie.  Compilers that were built before do not have

Starting state migration after an IO exit without first completing IO
may result in test failures.  We already have two tests that need this
(this patch in fact fixes evmcs_test, similar to what was fixed for
state_test in commit 0f73bbc851ed, "KVM: selftests: complete IO before
migrating guest state", 2019-03-13) and a third is coming.  So, move the
code to vcpu_save_state, and while at it do not access register state
until after I/O is complete.

Documentation/virtual/kvm/api.txt states:

  NOTE: For KVM_EXIT_IO, KVM_EXIT_MMIO, KVM_EXIT_OSI, KVM_EXIT_PAPR and
        KVM_EXIT_EPR the corresponding operations are complete (and guest
        state is consistent) only after userspace has re-entered the
        kernel with KVM_RUN.  The kernel side will first finish incomplete
        operations and then check for pending signals.  Userspace can
        re-enter the guest with an unmasked signal pending to complete
        pending operations.

Because guest state may be inconsistent, starting state migration after
an IO exit without first completing IO may result in test failures, e.g.
a proposed change to KVM's handling of %rip in its fast PIO handling[1]
will cause the new VM, i.e. the post-migration VM, to have its %rip set
to the IN instruction that triggered KVM_EXIT_IO, leading to a test
assertion due to a stage mismatch.

For simplicitly, require KVM_CAP_IMMEDIATE_EXIT to complete IO and skip
the test if it's not available.  The addition of KVM_CAP_IMMEDIATE_EXIT
predates the state selftest by more than a year.

Since 4.8.3, gcc has enabled -fstack-protector by default.  This is
problematic for the KVM selftests as they do not configure fs or gs
segments (the stack canary is pulled from fs:0x28).  With the default
behavior, gcc will insert a stack canary on any function that creates
buffers of 8 bytes or more.  As a result, ucall() will hit a triple
fault shutdown due to reading a bad fs segment when inserting its
stack canary, i.e. every test fails with an unexpected SHUTDOWN.

KVM selftests embed the guest "image" as a function in the test itself
and extract the guest code at runtime by manually parsing the elf
headers.  The parsing is very simple and doesn't supporting fancy things
like position independent executables.  Recent versions of gcc enable
pie by default, which results in triple fault shutdowns in the guest due
to the virtual address in the headers not matching up with the virtual
address retrieved from the function pointer.
