[PATCH v3 12/19] x86/vmx: Introduce VMX_FEATURES_*

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Mon Nov 18 2019 - 22:14:28 EST


Add a VMX specific variant of X86_FEATURE_* flags, which will eventually
supplant the synthetic VMX flags defined in cpufeatures word 8. Use the
Intel-defined layouts for the major VMX execution controls so that their
word entries can be directly populated from their respective MSRs, and
so that the VMX_FEATURE_* flags can be used to define the existing bit
definitions in asm/vmx.h, i.e. force developers to define a VMX_FEATURE
flag when adding support for a new hardware feature.

The majority of Intel's (and compatible CPU's) VMX capabilities are
enumerated via MSRs and not CPUID, i.e. querying /proc/cpuinfo doesn't
naturally provide any insight into the virtualization capabilities of
VMX enabled CPUs. Commit e38e05a85828d ("x86: extended "flags" to show
virtualization HW feature in /proc/cpuinfo") attempted to address the
issue by synthesizing select VMX features into a Linux-defined word in
cpufeatures.

The synthetic cpufeatures approach has several flaws:

- The set of synthesized VMX flags has become extremely stale with
respect to the full set of VMX features, e.g. only one new flag
(EPT A/D) has been added in the the decade since the introduction of
the synthetic VMX features. Failure to keep the VMX flags up to
date is likely due to the lack of a mechanism that forces developers
to consider whether or not a new feature is worth reporting.

- The synthetic flags may incorrectly be misinterpreted as affecting
kernel behavior, i.e. KVM, the kernel's sole consumer of VMX,
completely ignores the synthetic flags.

- New CPU vendors that support VMX have duplicated the hideous code
that propagates VMX features from MSRs to cpufeatures. Bringing the
synthetic VMX flags up to date would exacerbate the copy+paste
trainwreck.

Define separate VMX_FEATURE flags to set the stage for enumerating VMX
capabilities outside of the cpu_has() framework, and for adding
functional usage of VMX_FEATURE_* to help ensure the features reported
via /proc/cpuinfo is up to date with respect to kernel recognition of
VMX capabilities.

Note, the displayed names 'vnmi', 'tpr_shadow' and 'flexpriority' are
retained for backwards compatibility with the existing ABI.
