Use the recently introduced KVM_REQ_TRIPLE_FAULT to properly emulate
shutdown if RSM from SMM fails.

Note, entering shutdown after clearing the SMM flag and restoring NMI
blocking is architecturally correct with respect to AMD's APM, which KVM
also uses for SMRAM layout and RSM NMI blocking behavior.  The APM says:

  An RSM causes a processor shutdown if an invalid-state condition is
  found in the SMRAM state-save area. Only an external reset, external
  processor-initialization, or non-maskable external interrupt (NMI) can
  cause the processor to leave the shutdown state.

Of note is processor-initialization (INIT) as a valid shutdown wake
event, as INIT is blocked by SMM, implying that entering shutdown also
forces the CPU out of SMM.

For recent Intel CPUs, restoring NMI blocking is technically wrong, but
so is restoring NMI blocking in the first place, and Intel's RSM
"architecture" is such a mess that just about anything is allowed and can
be justified as micro-architectural behavior.

Per the SDM:

  On Pentium 4 and later processors, shutdown will inhibit INTR and A20M
  but will not change any of the other inhibits. On these processors,
  NMIs will be inhibited if no action is taken in the SMI handler to
  uninhibit them (see Section 34.8).

where Section 34.8 says:

  When the processor enters SMM while executing an NMI handler, the
  processor saves the SMRAM state save map but does not save the
  attribute to keep NMI interrupts disabled. Potentially, an NMI could be
  latched (while in SMM or upon exit) and serviced upon exit of SMM even
  though the previous NMI handler has still not completed.

I.e. RSM unconditionally unblocks NMI, but shutdown on RSM does not,
which is in direct contradiction of KVM's behavior.  But, as mentioned
above, KVM follows AMD architecture and restores NMI blocking on RSM, so
that micro-architectural detail is already lost.

And for Pentium era CPUs, SMI# can break shutdown, meaning that at least
some Intel CPUs fully leave SMM when entering shutdown:

  In the shutdown state, Intel processors stop executing instructions
  until a RESET#, INIT# or NMI# is asserted.  While Pentium family
  processors recognize the SMI# signal in shutdown state, P6 family and
  Intel486 processors do not.

In other words, the fact that Intel CPUs have implemented the two
extremes gives KVM carte blanche when it comes to honoring Intel's
architecture for handling shutdown during RSM.

I'm probably missing something, but what's the desired effect of both
raising KVM_REQ_TRIPLE_FAULT and returning X86EMUL_UNHANDLEABLE here?

I've modified smm selftest to see what's happening:

                kvm_vm_release(vm);
                kvm_vm_restart(vm, O_RDWR);

What I see is:

If I change X86EMUL_UNHANDLEABLE to X86EMUL_CONTINUE tripple fault is
happening indeed (why don't we have triple fault printed in trace by
default BTW???):

        smm_test-16810 [006]  5117.007220: kvm_exit:             reason EXIT_RSM rip 0x8004 info 0 0

        smm_test-16810 [006]  5117.007230: kvm_userspace_exit:   reason KVM_EXIT_SHUTDOWN (8)

So should we actually have X86EMUL_CONTINUE when we queue
KVM_REQ_TRIPLE_FAULT here?

(Initially, my comment was supposed to be 'why don't you add
TRIPLE_FAULT to smm selftest?' but the above overshadows it)

The Intel manual is an absolute mess with respect to NMI blocking, and 
for once AMD followed suit.

Some versions of the AMD BIOS and Kernel Developer Manual provide the 
offset of the "NMI masked" flag in the SMM state save area, but 
unfortunately that was discovered too late.

Yes...

... and a tenth patch to add a selftest would be nice to have indeed.

Yes, I've been remiss in writing/modifying tests, I'll prioritize that once I've
dug myself out of the rabbit holes I wandered into via the vCPU RESET/INIT series.

Or maybe trace_kvm_make_request()?  Not sure how much pain that would inflict on
the binaries though.
