Commit 10e38fc7cab6 ("KVM: x86: Emulator flag for instruction that only support
16-bit addresses in real mode") introduced NoBigReal for instructions such as
MONITOR. Apparetnly, the Intel SDM description that led to this patch is
misleading. Since no instruction is using NoBigReal, it is safe to remove it,
we fully understand what the SDM means.

apic_find_highest_irr assumes irr_pending is set if any vector in APIC_IRR is
set. If this assumption is broken and apicv is disabled, the injection of
interrupts may be deferred until another interrupt is delivered to the guest.
Ultimately, if no other interrupt should be injected to that vCPU, the pending
interrupt may be lost.
commit 56cc2406d6 ("KVM: nVMX: fix "acknowledge interrupt on exit" when APICv
is in use") changed the behavior of apic_clear_irr so irr_pending is cleared
after setting APIC_IRR vector. After this commit, if apic_set_irr and
apic_clear_irr run simultaneously, a race may occur, resulting in APIC_IRR
vector set, and irr_pending cleared. In the following example, assume a single
vector is set in IRR prior to calling apic_clear_irr:
apic_set_irr apic_clear_irr
------------ --------------
apic->irr_pending = true;
apic_clear_vector(...);
vec = apic_search_irr(apic);
// => vec == -1
apic_set_vector(...);
apic->irr_pending = (vec != -1);
// => apic->irr_pending == false
Nonetheless, it appears the race might even occur prior to this commit:
apic_set_irr apic_clear_irr
------------ --------------
apic->irr_pending = true;
apic->irr_pending = false;
apic_clear_vector(...);
if (apic_search_irr(apic) != -1)
apic->irr_pending = true;
// => apic->irr_pending == false
apic_set_vector(...);
Fixing this issue by:
1. Restoring the previous behavior of apic_clear_irr: clear irr_pending, call
apic_clear_vector, and then if APIC_IRR is non-zero, set irr_pending.
2. On apic_set_irr: first call apic_set_vector, then set irr_pending.

Logical destination mode can be used to send NMI IPIs even when all
APICs are software disabled, so if all APICs are software disabled we
should still look at the DFRs.
So the DFRs should all be the same, even if some or all APICs are
software disabled. However, the SDM does not say this, so tweak
the logic as follows:
- if one APIC is enabled and has LDR != 0, use that one to build the map.
This picks the right DFR in case an OS is only setting it for the
software-enabled APICs, or in case an OS is using logical addressing
on some APICs while leaving the rest in reset state (using LDR was
suggested by Radim).
- if all APICs are disabled, pick a random one to build the map.
We use the last one with LDR != 0 for simplicity.

Currently, the APIC logical map does not consider VCPUs whose local-apic is
software-disabled. However, NMIs, INIT, etc. should still be delivered to such
VCPUs. Therefore, the APIC mode should first be determined, and then the map,
considering all VCPUs should be constructed.
To address this issue, first find the APIC mode, and only then construct the
logical map.

Task-switch emulation checks the privilege level prior to performing the
task-switch. This check is incorrect in the case of task-gates, in which the
tss.dpl is ignored, and can cause superfluous exceptions. Moreover this check
is unnecassary, since the CPU checks the privilege levels prior to exiting.
Intel SDM 25.4.2 says "If CALL or JMP accesses a TSS descriptor directly
outside IA-32e mode, privilege levels are checked on the TSS descriptor" prior
to exiting. AMD 15.14.1 says "The intercept is checked before the task switch
takes place but after the incoming TSS and task gate (if one was involved) have
been checked for correctness."

Andreas Krebbel analyzed this and tracked it down to a compiler bug in
that version:
"while it is not that obvious the C99 standard basically forbids
duplicating the memory access also in that case. For an argumentation of
a similiar case please see:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22278#c43
For the implementation-defined cases regarding volatile there are some
GCC-specific clarifications which can be found here:
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Volatiles.html#Volatiles
I've tracked down the problem with a reduced testcase. The problem was
that during a tree level optimization (SRA - scalar replacement of
aggregates) the volatile marker is lost. And an RTL level optimizer (CSE
- common subexpression elimination) then propagated the memory read into
its second use introducing another access to the memory location. So
indeed Christian's suspicion that the union access has something to do
with it is correct (since it triggered the SRA optimization).
This issue has been reported and fixed in the GCC 4.8 development cycle:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58145"
This patch replaces the ACCESS_ONCE scheme with a barrier() based scheme
that should work for all supported compilers.

We can use get_cpu() and put_cpu() to replace
preempt_disable()/cpu = smp_processor_id() and
preempt_enable() for slightly better code.

We mirror a subset of these registers in separate variables.
Using them directly should be faster.

APIC-write VM exits are "trap-like": they save CS:RIP values for the
instruction after the write, and more importantly, the handler will
already see the new value in the virtual-APIC page. This means that
apic_reg_write cannot use kvm_apic_get_reg to omit timer cancelation
when mode changes.
timer_mode_mask shouldn't be changing as it depends on cpuid.

This caused a bug if you used KVM_SET_IRQCHIP to set the SW-enabled bit
in the SPIV register. The chain of events is as follows:
* When the irqchip is added to the destination VM, the apic_sw_disabled
static key is incremented (1)
* When the KVM_SET_IRQCHIP ioctl is invoked, it is decremented (0)
* When the guest disables the bit in the SPIV register, e.g. as part of
shutdown, apic_set_spiv does not notice the change and the static key is
_not_ incremented.
* When the guest is destroyed, the static key is decremented (-1),
resulting in this trace:
