If the hypercall was called from userspace or real mode, KVM injects #UD
and then advances RIP, so it looks like #UD was caused by the following
instruction.  This probably won't cause more than confusion, but could
give an unexpected access to guest OS' instruction emulator.

Also, refactor the code to count hv hypercalls that were handled by the
virt userspace.

If there is a possibility that a VM may migrate to a Skylake host,
then the hypervisor should report IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES.RSBA[bit 2]
as being set (future work, of course). This implies that
CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=0):EDX.ARCH_CAPABILITIES[bit 29] should be
set. Therefore, kvm should report this CPUID bit as being supported
whether or not the host supports it.  Userspace is still free to clear
the bit if it chooses.

For more information on RSBA, see Intel's white paper, "Retpoline: A
Branch Target Injection Mitigation" (Document Number 337131-001),
currently available at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199511.

Since the IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES MSR is emulated in kvm, there is no
dependency on hardware support for this feature.

<content type='text'>
The CPUID bits of OSXSAVE (function=0x1) and OSPKE (func=0x7, leaf=0x0)
allows user apps to detect if OS has set CR4.OSXSAVE or CR4.PKE. KVM is
supposed to update these CPUID bits when CR4 is updated. Current KVM
code doesn't handle some special cases when updates come from emulator.
Here is one example:

  Step 1: guest boots
  Step 2: guest OS enables XSAVE ==&gt; CR4.OSXSAVE=1 and CPUID.OSXSAVE=1
  Step 3: guest hot reboot ==&gt; QEMU reset CR4 to 0, but CPUID.OSXAVE==1
  Step 4: guest os checks CPUID.OSXAVE, detects 1, then executes xgetbv

Step 4 above will cause an #UD and guest crash because guest OS hasn't
turned on OSXAVE yet. This patch solves the problem by comparing the the
old_cr4 with cr4. If the related bits have been changed,
kvm_update_cpuid() needs to be called.

<title>x86/kvm: fix LAPIC timer drift when guest uses periodic mode</title>

<id>d8f2f498d9ed0c5010bc1bbc1146f94c8bf9f8cc</id>
<content type='text'>
Since 4.10, commit 8003c9ae204e (KVM: LAPIC: add APIC Timer
periodic/oneshot mode VMX preemption timer support), guests using
periodic LAPIC timers (such as FreeBSD 8.4) would see their timers
drift significantly over time.

Differences in the underlying clocks and numerical errors means the
periods of the two timers (hv and sw) are not the same. This
difference will accumulate with every expiry resulting in a large
error between the hv and sw timer.

This means the sw timer may be running slow when compared to the hv
timer. When the timer is switched from hv to sw, the now active sw
timer will expire late. The guest VCPU is reentered and it switches to
using the hv timer. This timer catches up, injecting multiple IRQs
into the guest (of which the guest only sees one as it does not get to
run until the hv timer has caught up) and thus the guest's timer rate
is low (and becomes increasing slower over time as the sw timer lags
further and further behind).

I believe a similar problem would occur if the hv timer is the slower
one, but I have not observed this.

Fix this by synchronizing the deadlines for both timers to the same
time source on every tick. This prevents the errors from accumulating.

Only CPUs which speculate can speculate. Therefore, it seems prudent
to test for cpu_no_speculation first and only then determine whether
a specific speculating CPU is susceptible to store bypass speculation.
This is underlined by all CPUs currently listed in cpu_no_speculation

Merge speculative store buffer bypass fixes from Thomas Gleixner:

 - rework of the SPEC_CTRL MSR management to accomodate the new fancy
   SSBD (Speculative Store Bypass Disable) bit handling.

 - the CPU bug and sysfs infrastructure for the exciting new Speculative
   Store Bypass 'feature'.

 - support for disabling SSB via LS_CFG MSR on AMD CPUs including
   Hyperthread synchronization on ZEN.

 - PRCTL support for dynamic runtime control of SSB

 - SECCOMP integration to automatically disable SSB for sandboxed
   processes with a filter flag for opt-out.

Merge speculative store buffer bypass fixes from Thomas Gleixner:

 - rework of the SPEC_CTRL MSR management to accomodate the new fancy
   SSBD (Speculative Store Bypass Disable) bit handling.

 - the CPU bug and sysfs infrastructure for the exciting new Speculative
   Store Bypass 'feature'.

 - support for disabling SSB via LS_CFG MSR on AMD CPUs including
   Hyperthread synchronization on ZEN.

 - PRCTL support for dynamic runtime control of SSB

 - SECCOMP integration to automatically disable SSB for sandboxed
   processes with a filter flag for opt-out.

 - KVM integration to allow guests fiddling with SSBD including the new
   software MSR VIRT_SPEC_CTRL to handle the LS_CFG based oddities on
   AMD.

 - BPF protection against SSB

.. this is just the core and x86 side, other architecture support will
come separately.

Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "An unfortunately larger set of fixes, but a large portion is
  selftests:

   - Fix the missing clusterid initializaiton for x2apic cluster
     management which caused boot failures due to IPIs being sent to the
     wrong cluster

   - Drop TX_COMPAT when a 64bit executable is exec()'ed from a compat
     task

   - Wrap access to __supported_pte_mask in __startup_64() where clang
     compile fails due to a non PC relative access being generated.

   - Two fixes for 5 level paging fallout in the decompressor:

      - Handle GOT correctly for paging_prepare() and
        cleanup_trampoline()

      - Fix the page table handling in cleanup_trampoline() to avoid
        page table corruption.

   - Stop special casing protection key 0 as this is inconsistent with
     the manpage and also inconsistent with the allocation map handling.

   - Override the protection key wen moving away from PROT_EXEC to
     prevent inaccessible memory.

   - Fix and update the protection key selftests to address breakage and
     to cover the above issue

   - Add a MOV SS self test"

[ Part of the x86 fixes were in the earlier core pull due to dependencies ]
