[PATCH v2 0/4] Handle #GP for SVM execution instructions

[Wei Huang]

While running SVM related instructions (VMRUN/VMSAVE/VMLOAD), some AMD
CPUs check EAX against reserved memory regions (e.g. SMM memory on host)
before checking VMCB's instruction intercept. If EAX falls into such
memory areas, #GP is triggered before #VMEXIT. This causes unexpected #GP
under nested virtualization. To solve this problem, this patchset makes
KVM trap #GP and emulate these SVM instuctions accordingly.

Also newer AMD CPUs will change this behavior by triggering #VMEXIT
before #GP. This change is indicated by CPUID_0x8000000A_EDX[28]. Under
this circumstance, #GP interception is not required. This patchset supports
the new feature.

This patchset has been verified with vmrun_errata_test and vmware_backdoors
tests of kvm_unit_test on the following configs:
  * Current CPU: nested, nested on nested
  * New CPU with X86_FEATURE_SVME_ADDR_CHK: nested, nested on nested

v1->v2:
  * Factor out instruction decode for sharing
  * Re-org gp_interception() handling for both #GP and vmware_backdoor
  * Use kvm_cpu_cap for X86_FEATURE_SVME_ADDR_CHK feature support
  * Add nested on nested support

Thanks,
