mechanism by which lazy FPU context switching is implemented.
On affected processors, Xen must use fully eager FPU context switching to

Avoid flushing the complete TLB when switching %cr3 for mitigation of
Meltdown by using the PCID feature if available.
We are using 4 PCID values for a 64 bit pv domain subject to XPTI and
2 values for the non-XPTI case:
- guest active and in kernel mode
- guest active and in user mode
- hypervisor active and guest in user mode (XPTI only)
- hypervisor active and guest in kernel mode (XPTI only)
We use PCID only if PCID _and_ INVPCID are supported. With PCID in use
we disable global pages in cr4. A command line parameter controls in
which cases PCID is being used.
As the non-XPTI case has shown not to perform better with PCID at least
on some machines the default is to use PCID only for domains subject to
XPTI.
With PCID enabled we always disable global pages. This avoids having to
either flush the complete TLB or do a cycle through all PCID values
when invalidating a single global page.

Today cpu_info->xen_cr3 is either 0 to indicate %cr3 doesn't need to

For mitigation of Meltdown the current L4 page table is copied to the
cpu local root page table each time a 64 bit pv guest is entered.
Copying can be avoided in cases where the guest L4 page table hasn't
been modified while running the hypervisor, e.g. when handling
interrupts or any hypercall not modifying the L4 page table or %cr3.
So add a per-cpu flag indicating whether the copying should be
performed and set that flag only when loading a new %cr3 or modifying
the L4 page table. This includes synchronization of the cpu local
root page table with other cpus, so add a special synchronization flag
for that case.
A simple performance check (compiling the hypervisor via "make -j 4")
in dom0 with 4 vcpus shows a significant improvement:
- real time drops from 112 seconds to 103 seconds
- system time drops from 142 seconds to 131 seconds

Their need is not tied to the actual flushing of TLBs, but the ticking
of the TLB clock. Make this more obvious by folding the two invocations
into a single one in pre_flush().
Also defer the latching of CR4 in write_cr3() until after pre_flush()
(and hence implicitly until after IRQs are off), making operation
sequence the same in both cases (eliminating the theoretical risk of
pre_flush() altering CR4). This then also improves register allocation,
as the compiler doesn't need to use a callee-saved register for "cr4"

In hindsight, the options for `bti=` aren't as flexible or useful as expected
(including several options which don't appear to behave as intended).
Changing the behaviour of an existing option is problematic for compatibility,
so introduce a new `spec-ctrl=` in the hopes that we can do better.
One common way of deploying Xen is with a single PV dom0 and all domUs being
HVM domains. In such a setup, an administrator who has weighed up the risks
may wish to forgo protection against malicious PV domains, to reduce the
overall performance hit. To cater for this usecase, `spec-ctrl=no-pv` will
disable all speculative protection for PV domains, while leaving all
speculative protection for HVM domains intact.
For coding clarity as much as anything else, the suboptions are grouped by
logical area; those which affect the alternatives blocks, and those which
affect Xen's in-hypervisor settings. See the xen-command-line.markdown for
full details of the new options.
While changing the command line options, take the time to change how the data
is reported to the user. The three DEBUG printks are upgraded to unilateral,
as they are all relevant pieces of information, and the old "mitigations:"
line is split in the two logical areas described above.
Sample output from booting with `spec-ctrl=no-pv` looks like:
(XEN) Speculative mitigation facilities:
(XEN) Hardware features: IBRS/IBPB STIBP IBPB
(XEN) Compiled-in support: INDIRECT_THUNK

Another useful option in some usecases is to offer IBPB without IBRS. When a
guest kernel is known to be compatible (uses retpoline and knows about the AMD
IBPB feature bit), an administrator with pre-Skylake hardware may wish to hide
IBRS. This allows the VM to have full protection, without Xen or the VM
needing to touch MSR_SPEC_CTRL, which can reduce the overhead of Spectre
mitigations.

The 'RSB Alternative' bit in MSR_ARCH_CAPABILITIES may be set by a hypervisor
to indicate that the virtual machine may migrate to a processor which isn't
retpoline-safe. Introduce a shortened name (to reduce code volume), treat it
as authorative in retpoline_safe(), and print its value along with the other
ARCH_CAPS bits.
The exact processor models which do have RSB semantics which fall back to BTB
predictions are enumerated, and include Kabylake and Coffeelake. Leave a
printk() in the default case to help identify cases which aren't covered.
The exact microcode versions from Broadwell RSB-safety are taken from the
referenced microcode update file (adjusting for the known-bad microcode
versions). Despite the exact wording of the text, it is only Broadwell
processors which need a microcode check.
In practice, this means that all Broadwell hardware with up-to-date microcode
will use retpoline in preference to IBRS, which will be a performance
improvement for desktop and server systems which would previously always opt
for IBRS over retpoline.

And modify the HPET code to make use of it. Currently HPET interrupts
are always treated as ISA and thus injected through the vPIC. This is
wrong because HPET interrupts when not in legacy mode should be
injected from the IO-APIC.
To make things worse, the supported interrupt routing values are set
to [20..23], which clearly falls outside of the ISA range, thus
leading to an ASSERT in debug builds or memory corruption in non-debug
builds because the interrupt injection code will write out of the
bounds of the arch.hvm_domain.vpic array.
Since the HPET interrupt source can change between ISA and IO-APIC
always destroy the timer before changing the mode, or else Xen risks
changing it while the timer is active.
Note that vpt interrupt injection is racy in the sense that the
vIO-APIC RTE entry can be written by the guest in between the call to
pt_irq_masked and hvm_ioapic_assert, or the call to pt_update_irq and
pt_intr_post. Those are not deemed to be security issues, but rather
quirks of the current implementation. In the worse case the guest

For the int80 slow path to jump to handle_exception_saved, %r14 needs to
be set up suitably for XPTI purposes. This is because of the difference
in nature between the int80 path (which is synchronous WRT guest
actions) and the exception path which is potentially asynchronous.
This is XSA-259.

Experimentally, the behaviour of reserved bits in MSR_PRED_CMD changed between
beta and production microcode, and now raises a #GP fault for set reserved
bits. The AMD spec for future hardware also specifies this behaviour, and it
is the more sensible behaviour to implement.

x86/msr: further correct the emulation behaviour of MSR_PRED_CMD
Following commit a6aa678fa3 ("x86/msr: Correct the emulation behaviour
of MSR_PRED_CMD") we may end up writing the low bit with the wrong
value. While it's unlikely for a guest to want to write zero there, we
should still permit (this without incurring the overhead of an actual
barrier). Correcting this right away will also help whenever further
bits in the MSR might become defined.
