MFC r315361 and r315364: Hide MONITORX/MWAITX from guests.

r315361
Add the AMD MONITORX/MWAITX feature definition introduced in
Bulldozer/Ryzen CPUs.

r315364
Hide the AMD MONITORX/MWAITX capability.
Otherwise, recent Linux guests will use these instructions, resulting
in #UD exceptions since bhyve doesn't implement MONITOR/MWAIT exits.

This fixes boot-time hangs in recent Linux guests on Ryzen CPUs
(and probably Bulldozer aka AMD FX as well).


# 284900 28-Jun-2015 neel

MFC r282209:
Emulate the 'bit test' instruction.

MFC r282259:
Re-implement RTC current time calculation to eliminate the possibility of
losing time.

MFC r282281:
Advertise the MTRR feature via CPUID and emulate the minimal set of MTRR MSRs.

MFC r282284:
When an instruction cannot be decoded just return to userspace so bhyve(8)
can dump the instruction bytes.

MFC r282287:
Don't require <sys/cpuset.h> to be always included before <machine/vmm.h>.

MFC r282296:
Emulate MSR_SYSCFG which is accessed by Linux on AMD cpus when MTRRs are
enabled.

MFC r282301:
Relax limits when transitioning a vector from the IRR to the ISR and also
when extinguishing it from the ISR in response to an EOI.

MFC r282335:
Advertise an additional memory BAR in the "dummy" device emulation.

MFC r282336:
Emulate machine check related MSRs to allow guest OSes like Windows to boot.

MFC r282351:
Don't advertise the Intel SMX capability to the guest.

MFC r282407:
Emulate the 'CMP r/m8, imm8' instruction.

MFC r282519:
Add macros for AMD-specific bits in MSR_EFER: LMSLE, FFXSR and TCE.

MFC r282520:
Emulate guest writes to EFER_MSR properly.

MFC r282558:
Deprecate the 3-way return values from vm_gla2gpa() and vm_copy_setup().

MFC r282571:
Check 'td_owepreempt' and yield the vcpu thread if it is set.

MFC r282595:
Allow byte reads of AHCI registers.

MFC r282784:
Handling indirect descriptors is a capability of the host and not one that
needs to be negotiated. Use the host capabilities field and not the negotiated
field when verifying that indirect descriptors are supported.

MFC r282788:
Allow configuration of the sector size advertised to the guest.

MFC r282865:
Set the subvendor field in config space to the vendor ID. This is required
by the Windows virtio drivers to correctly match a device.

MFC r282922:
Bump the size of the blockif scatter-gather list to 67.

MFC r283075:
Fix off-by-one in array index bounds check. bhyveload would allow you to
create 33 entries on an array that only has 32 slots

MFC r283168:
Temporarily revert r282922 which bumped the max descriptors.

MFC r283255:
Emulate the "CMP r/m, reg" instruction (opcode 39H).

of the instruction that caused the VM-exit.

MFC r283264:
Change the header type of the emulated host-bridge from type 1 to type 0.

MFC r283293:
Don't rely on the 'VM-exit instruction length' field in the VMCS to always
have an accurate length on an EPT violation.

MFC r283299:
Remove bogus verification of instruction length after instruction decode.

MFC r283308:
Exceptions don't deliver an error code in real mode.

"sleeping" state.

MFC r283973:
Use tunable 'hw.vmm.svm.features' to disable specific SVM features even
though they might be available in hardware. Use tunable 'hw.vmm.svm.num_asids'
to limit the number of ASIDs used by the hypervisor.

MFC r284046:
Fix regression in 'verify_gla()' with the RIP-relative addressing mode.

MFC r284174:
Support guest writes to the TSC by enabling the "use TSC offsetting"
execution control.


# 280839 30-Mar-2015 mav

MFC r280134:
Report ARAT (APIC-Timer-always-running) feature for virtual CPU.

This makes FreeBSD guest to not avoid using LAPIC timer, preferring HPET
due to worries about non-existing for virtual CPUs deep sleep states.

Benchmarks of usleep(1) on guest and host show such extra latencies:
- 51us for virtual HPET,
- 22us for virtual LAPIC timer,
- 22us for host HPET and
- 3us for host LAPIC timer.


# 276403 30-Dec-2014 neel

MFC r273375
Add support AMD processors with the SVM/AMD-V hardware extensions.

MFC r273749
Remove bhyve SVM feature printf's now that they are available in the general
CPU feature detection code.

MFC r273766
Add missing 'break' pointed out by Coverity CID 1249760.

MFC r276098
Allow ktr(4) tracing of all guest exceptions via the tunable "hw.vmm.trace_guest_exceptions"

MFC r276392
Inject #UD into the guest when it executes either 'MONITOR' or 'MWAIT' on an
AMD/SVM host.

MFC r276402
Remove "svn:mergeinfo" property that was dragged along when these files were
svn copied in r273375.


# 276349 28-Dec-2014 neel

MFC r270326
Fix a recursive lock acquisition in vi_reset_dev().

MFC r270434
Return the spurious interrupt vector (IRQ7 or IRQ15) if the atpic cannot find
any unmasked pin with an interrupt asserted.

MFC r270436
Fix a bug in the emulation of CPUID leaf 0x4.

MFC r270437
Add "hw.vmm.topology.threads_per_core" and "hw.vmm.topology.cores_per_package"
tunables to modify the default cpu topology advertised by bhyve.

MFC r270855
Set the 'inst_length' to '0' early on before any error conditions are detected
in the emulation of the task switch. If any exceptions are triggered then the
guest %rip should point to instruction that caused the task switch as opposed
to the one after it.

MFC r270857
The "SUB" instruction used in getcc() actually does 'x -= y' so use the
proper constraint for 'x'. The "+r" constraint indicates that 'x' is an
input and output register operand.

While here generate code for different variants of getcc() using a macro
GETCC(sz) where 'sz' indicates the operand size.

Update the status bits in %rflags when emulating AND and OR opcodes.

MFC r271439
Initialize 'bc_rdonly' to the right value.

MFC r271451
Optimize the common case of injecting an interrupt into a vcpu after a HLT
by explicitly moving it out of the interrupt shadow.

MFC r271888
Restructure the MSR handling so it is entirely handled by processor-specific
code.

MFC r271890
MSR_KGSBASE is no longer saved and restored from the guest MSR save area. This
behavior was changed in r271888 so update the comment block to reflect this.

MFC r271891
Add some more KTR events to help debugging.

MFC r272197
mmap(2) requires either MAP_PRIVATE or MAP_SHARED for non-anonymous mappings.

MFC r272395
Get rid of code that dealt with the hardware not being able to save/restore
the PAT MSR on guest exit/entry. This workaround was done for a beta release
of VMware Fusion 5 but is no longer needed in later versions.

All Intel CPUs since Nehalem have supported saving and restoring MSR_PAT
in the VM exit and entry controls.

MFC r272670
Inject #UD into the guest when it executes either 'MONITOR' or 'MWAIT'.

MFC r272710
Implement the FLUSH operation in the virtio-block emulation.

MFC r272838
iasl(8) expects integer fields in data tables to be specified as hexadecimal
values. Therefore the bit width of the "PM Timer Block" was actually being
interpreted as 50-bits instead of the expected 32-bit.

This eliminates an error message emitted by a Linux 3.17 guest during boot:
"Invalid length for FADT/PmTimerBlock: 50, using default 32"

MFC r272839
Support Intel-specific MSRs that are accessed when booting up a linux in bhyve:
- MSR_PLATFORM_INFO
- MSR_TURBO_RATIO_LIMITx
- MSR_RAPL_POWER_UNIT

MFC r273108
Emulate "POP r/m". This is needed to boot OpenBSD/i386 MP kernel in bhyve.

MFC r273212
Support stopping and restarting the AHCI command list via toggling PxCMD.ST
from '1' to '0' and back. This allows the driver a chance to recover if
for instance a timeout occurred due to activity on the host.


# 268952 21-Jul-2014 jhb

MFC 264347:
Account for the "plus 1" encoding of the CPUID Function 4 reported
core per package and cache sharing values.


# 267447 13-Jun-2014 jhb

MFC 262139,262140,262236,262281,262532:
Various x2APIC fixes and enhancements:
- Use spinlocks for the vioapic.
- Handle the SELF_IPI MSR.
- Simplify the APIC mode switching between MMIO and x2APIC. The guest is
no longer allowed to switch modes at runtime. Instead, the desired mode
is set when the virtual machine is created.
- Disallow MMIO access in x2APIC mode and MSR access in xAPIC mode.
- Add support for x2APIC virtualization assist in Intel VT-x.


# 267427 12-Jun-2014 jhb

MFC 261638,262144,262506,266765:
Add virtualized XSAVE support to bhyve which permits guests to use XSAVE and
XSAVE-enabled features like AVX.
- Store a per-cpu guest xcr0 register and handle xsetbv VM exits by emulating
the instruction.
- Only expose XSAVE to guests if XSAVE is enabled in the host. Only expose
a subset of XSAVE features currently supported by the guest and for which
the proper emulation of xsetbv is known. Currently this includes X87, SSE,
AVX, AVX-512, and Intel MPX.
- Add support for injecting hardware exceptions into the guest and use this
to trigger exceptions in the guest for invalid xsetbv operations instead
of potentially faulting in the host.
- Queue pending exceptions in the 'struct vcpu' instead of directly updating
the processor-specific VMCS or VMCB. The pending exception will be delivered
right before entering the guest.
- Rename the unused ioctl VM_INJECT_EVENT to VM_INJECT_EXCEPTION and restrict
it to only deliver x86 hardware exceptions. This new ioctl is now used to
inject a protection fault when the guest accesses an unimplemented MSR.
- Expose a subset of known-safe features from leaf 0 of the structured
extended features to guests if they are supported on the host including
RDFSBASE/RDGSBASE, BMI1/2, AVX2, AVX-512, HLE, ERMS, and RTM. Aside
from AVX-512, these features are all new instructions available for use
in ring 3 with no additional hypervisor changes needed.


# 256869 21-Oct-2013 neel

MFC r256645.

Add a new capability, VM_CAP_ENABLE_INVPCID, that can be enabled to expose
'invpcid' instruction to the guest. Currently bhyve will try to enable this
capability unconditionally if it is available.

Consolidate code in bhyve to set the capabilities so it is no longer
duplicated in BSP and AP bringup.

Add a sysctl 'vm.pmap.invpcid_works' to display whether the 'invpcid'
instruction is available.
