Commit Message

Allowing an unlimited number of MSRs to be specified via the VMX
load/store MSR lists (e.g., vm-entry MSR load list) is bad for two
reasons. First, a guest can specify an unreasonable number of MSRs,
forcing KVM to process all of them in software. Second, the SDM bounds
the number of MSRs allowed to be packed into the atomic switch MSR lists.
Quoting the "Miscellaneous Data" section in the "VMX Capability
Reporting Facility" appendix:

"Bits 27:25 is used to compute the recommended maximum number of MSRs
that should appear in the VM-exit MSR-store list, the VM-exit MSR-load
list, or the VM-entry MSR-load list. Specifically, if the value bits
27:25 of IA32_VMX_MISC is N, then 512 * (N + 1) is the recommended
maximum number of MSRs to be included in each list. If the limit is
exceeded, undefined processor behavior may result (including a machine
check during the VMX transition)."

Thus, force a VM-entry to fail due to MSR loading when the MSR load
list is too large. Similarly, trigger an abort during a VM exit that
encounters an MSR load list or MSR store list that is too large.

Test these new checks with the kvm-unit-test "x86: nvmx: test max atomic
switch MSRs".

v1 -> v2
* Updated description to distinguish the relevant appendix.
* Renamed VMX_MISC_MSR_LIST_INCREMENT to VMX_MISC_MSR_LIST_MULTIPLIER.
* Moved vmx_control_msr() and vmx_control_verify() up in the source.
* Modified nested_vmx_store_msr() to fail lazily, like
  nested_vmx_load_msr().

Oops, I forgot to delete this declaration, which is no longer needed
after applying Sean's suggestions, in v2. I can send out a v3 with
this line removed after folks comment on this version.

It's probably redundant/obvious, but I think it's worth calling out that
this is arbitrary KVM behavior, e.g. replace "Thus," with something like:

  Because KVM needs to protect itself and can't model "undefined processor
  behavior", arbitrarily

The changelog (and maybe a comment in the code) should also state that
the count is intentionally not pre-checked so as to maintain compability
with hardware inasmuch as possible.  That's a subtlety that's likely to
lead to "cleanup" in the future :-)

Code itself looks good, with the spurious vmx_control_msr() removed.
