Subject[RFC PATCH] x86/kvm: Allow kvm_read_and_reset_apf_flags() to be instrumented
Date
From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@linux.alibaba.com>

Both VMX and SVM made mistakes of calling kvm_read_and_reset_apf_flags()
in instrumentable code:
vmx_vcpu_enter_exit()
ASYNC PF induced VMEXIT
save cr2
leave noinstr section
-- kernel #PF can happen here due to instrumentation
handle_exception_nmi_irqoff
kvm_read_and_reset_apf_flags()

If kernel #PF happens before handle_exception_nmi_irqoff() after leaving
noinstr section due to instrumentation, kernel #PF handler will consume
the incorrect apf flags and panic.

The problem might be fixed by moving kvm_read_and_reset_apf_flags()
into vmx_vcpu_enter_exit() to consume apf flags earlier before leaving
noinstr section like the way it handles CR2.

But linux kernel only resigters ASYNC PF for userspace and guest, so
ASYNC PF can't hit when it is in kernel, so apf flags can be changed to
be consumed only when the #PF is from guest or userspace.

It is natually that kvm_read_and_reset_apf_flags() in vmx/svm is for
page fault from guest. So this patch changes kvm_handle_async_pf()
to be called only for page fault from userspace and renames it.
