Debug registers may only be accessed from cpl 0. Unfortunately, vmx will code to emulate the instruction even though it was issued from guest userspace, possibly leading to an unexpected trap later.

Only reload debug register 6 if we're running with the guest's debug registers. Saves around 150 cycles from the guest lightweight exit path. dr6 contains a couple of bits that are updated on #DB, so intercept that unconditionally and update those bits then.

Don't call adjust_vmx_controls() two times for the same control. It restores options that were dropped earlier.

The performance counter MSRs are different for AMD and Intel CPUs and they are chosen mainly by the CPUID vendor string. This patch catches writes to all addresses (regardless of VMX/SVM path) and handles them in the generic MSR handler routine. Writing a 0 into the event select register is something we perfectly emulate ;-), so don't print out a warning to dmesg in this case. This fixes booting a 64bit Windows guest with an AMD CPUID on an Intel host. Signed-off-by: Andre Przywara <andre.przywara@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

"Unrestricted Guest" feature is added in the VMX specification. Intel Westmere and onwards processors will support this feature. It allows kvm guests to run real mode and unpaged mode code natively in the VMX mode when EPT is turned on. With the unrestricted guest there is no need to emulate the guest real mode code in the vm86 container or in the emulator. Also the guest big real mode code works like native. The attached patch enhances KVM to use the unrestricted guest feature if available on the processor. It also adds a new kernel/module parameter to disable the unrestricted guest feature at the boot time.

Instead of reading the PDPTRs from memory after every exit (which is slow and wrong, as the PDPTRs are stored on the cpu), sync the PDPTRs from memory to the VMCS before entry, and from the VMCS to memory after exit. Do the same for cr3. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

Callers of alloc_pages_node() can optionally specify -1 as a node to mean "allocate from the current node". However, a number of the callers in fast paths know for a fact their node is valid. To avoid a comparison and branch, this patch adds alloc_pages_exact_node() that only checks the nid with VM_BUG_ON(). Callers that know their node is valid are then converted.

VT-x needs an explicit MC vector intercept to handle machine checks in the hyper visor. It also has a special option to catch machine checks that happen during VT entry. Do these interceptions and forward them to the Linux machine check handler. Make it always look like user space is interrupted because the machine check handler treats kernel/user space differently.

Memory aliases with different memory type is a problem for guest. For the guest without assigned device, the memory type of guest memory would always been the same as host(WB); but for the assigned device, some part of memory may be used as DMA and then set to uncacheable memory type(UC/WC), which would be a conflict of host memory type then be a potential issue. Snooping control can guarantee the cache correctness of memory go through the DMA engine of VT-d.
