Subject[PATCH v5 00/15] KVM: nVMX: VMX MSR quirk+fixes, CR4 fixes
From
Resurrecting Oliver's series to quirk nVMX's manipulation of the VMX MSRs.

KVM has a quirk where nVMX overwrites select VMX MSR bits in response to
CPUID updates. Specifically, KVM forces CR{0,4}_FIXED1 bits and the
VM-Entry/VM-Exit control bits for BNDCFGS and PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL to align
with the guest vCPU model. Add a quirk to (a) allow userspace to opt out
of the existing behavior and (b) make it clear the the existing behavior
should not be propagated to new features.

Patches 0-4 are tangentially related fixes for correctly handling CR4
checks on nested VMXON and VM-Enter. They are included here because there
is a subtle dependency created by the fix in patch 02, as it changes the
resulting behavior of patch 10, "Extend VMX MSRs quirk to CR0/4 fixed1 bits".

Patch 05 fixes a bug where KVM forces incoming VMX MSR values to be a
subset of _current_ value, not of KVM's support valu. E.g. if userspace
clears an allowed-1 bit, it can never set that bit back to the original
value.

Patch 06, "Keep KVM updates to BNDCFGS ctrl bits across MSR write", fixes
a related bug where KVM's original quirky behavior kept the VMX MSRs
up-to-date (almost) all the time.

This series is technically based on my selftests overhaul[*], but practically
speaking that only affects the selftests. The KVM should apply cleanly on
kvm/queue, 55371f1d0c01 ("KVM: x86/pmu: Update global ...")

I have a KUT test for patch 3 (VMXON fixes) that I'l post separately (yet
more cleanup involved, ugh). I spot tested patch 2 by fudging PKU in guest
CPUID, but I'm not planning on submitting an official test anywhere (though
it could be done without too much pain in selftests).

v5:
- Rebase (see above).
- Fix "CR4 valid for nVMX" bugs.
- Modify PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL bits iff the MSR exists.
- Fix a bug where KVM doesn't allow userspace to restore VMX MSRs to
_KVM's_ allowed values.
- Fix the UMIP emulation goof.
- Extend the quirk to CR0/4_FIXED1 MSRs.
- Add a helper to identify if the vCPU has a vPMU.
- Rewrote the selftests to more exhaustively test combos, and to test
the aforementioned bugs fixed in v5.

v4:
- https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220301060351.442881-1-oupton@google.com
- Rebased to kvm/queue. Avoids conflicts with new CAPs and commit
0bcd556e15f9 ("KVM: nVMX: Refactor PMU refresh to avoid referencing
kvm_x86_ops.pmu_ops") on kvm/queue.
- Grabbed KVM_CAP_DISABLE_QUIRKS2 patch, since this series also
introduces a quirk.
- Fix typo in KVM_CAP_DISABLE_QUIRKS2 documentation (Sean)
- Eliminated the need to refresh 'load IA32_PGC' bits from PMU refresh.
- Use consistent formatting to make test cases more easily readable
(David Dunn)
- Use correct 'Fixes: ' tag and correct a typo in Patch 2 changelog.
