Rather than do the low level PUSH_REGS and POP_REGS, I vote to have core code
expose a FRED-specific wrapper for invoking external_interrupt(). More below.

objtool isn't happy.

arch/x86/kvm/vmx/vmenter.o: warning: objtool: vmx_do_fred_interrupt_irqoff+0x6c: return with modified stack frame
arch/x86/kvm/vmx/vmenter.o: warning: objtool: vmx_do_fred_nmi_irqoff+0x37: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame

The "return with modified stack frame" goes away with my suggested changes, but
the sibling call remains for the NMI case due to the JMP instead of a call.

The frame stuff is worth throwing in a macro, if only to avoid a copy+pasted
comment, which by the by, is wrong. (a) it's ERETS, not IRET. (b) the IRQ does
a vanilla RET, not ERETS. E.g. like so:

.macro VMX_DO_EVENT_FRAME_BEGIN
/*
* Unconditionally create a stack frame, getting the correct RSP on the
* stack (for x86-64) would take two instructions anyways, and RBP can
* be used to restore RSP to make objtool happy (see below).
*/
push %_ASM_BP
mov %_ASM_SP, %_ASM_BP
.endm

.macro VMX_DO_EVENT_FRAME_END
/*
* "Restore" RSP from RBP, even though {E,I}RET has already unwound RSP
* to the correct value *in most cases*. KVM's IRQ handling with FRED
* doesn't do ERETS, and objtool doesn't know the callee will IRET/ERET

There is pretty much no chance that anyone remembers the layout of an IDT stack
frame off the top of their head. I.e. saying "FRED has 16 bytes more" isn't all
that useful. It also fails to capture the fact that FRED stuff a hell of a lot
more information in those "common" 48 bytes.

It'll be hard/impossible to capture all of the overload info in a comment, but
showing the actual layout of the frame would be super helpful, e.g. something like
this

/*
* FRED stack frames are always 64 bytes:
*
* ------------------------------
* | Bytes | Usage |
* -----------------------------|
* | 63:56 | Reserved |

The spec I have from May 2022 says the NMI bit colocated with CS, not SS. And
the cover letter's suggestion to use a search engine to find the spec ain't
exactly helpful, that just gives me the same "May 2022 Revision 3.0" spec. So
either y'all have a spec that I can't find, or this is wrong.

This is quite misleading for IRQs. It took me a while to figure out that the only
reason it's functionally ok is that external_interrupt() will do RET, not ERETS,
i.e. the RIP that's pushed here isn't used for IRQs! Expanding the above comment
would be quite helpful, e.g.

*
* Use LEA to get the return RIP and push it, then push an error code.
* Note, only NMI handling does an ERETS to the target! IRQ handling
* doesn't need to unmask NMIs and so simply uses CALL+RET, i.e. the
* RIP pushed here is only truly consumed for NMIs!

Nit, *if* this stays in KVM, please use %_ASM_ARG1 instead of %rdi. I normally
dislike unnecessary abstraction, but in this case using _ASM_ARG1 makes it clear
(without a comment) that this code is loading a param for a funciton call, *not*
for some FRED magic.

> + .endif

Jumping way back to providing a wrapper for FRED, if we do that, then there's no
need to include calling.h, and the weird wrinkle about the ERET target kinda goes
away too. E.g. provide this in arch/x86/entry/entry_64_fred.S

.section .text, "ax"

/* Note, this is instrumentation safe, and returns via RET, not ERETS! */
#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KVM_INTEL)
SYM_CODE_START(fred_irq_entry_from_kvm)
FRED_ENTER
call external_interrupt
FRED_EXIT
RET
SYM_CODE_END(fred_irq_entry_from_kvm)
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(fred_irq_entry_from_kvm);
#endif

and then the KVM side for this particular chunk is more simply:

lea 1f(%rip), %rax
push %rax
push $0 /* FRED error code, 0 for NMI and external interrupts */

\branch_insn \branch_target
1:
VMX_DO_EVENT_FRAME_END
RET


Alternatively, the whole thing could be shoved into arch/x86/entry/entry_64_fred.S,
but at a glance I don't think that would be a net positive due to the need to handle
IRQs vs. NMIs.

As mentioned above, this is incorrect on two fronts.

My slight preference is to open code the BUG() as a ud2 in assembly, purely to
avoid more #ifdefs.

I strongly prefer to use code to document what's going on. E.g. the tail comment
just left me wondering, what event type is 0? Whereas this makes it quite clear
that KVM is signaling a hardware interrupt. The fact that it's a nop as far as
code generation goes is irrelevant.

vmx_do_fred_interrupt_irqoff((EVENT_TYPE_HWINT << 16) | vector);

Here's a diff for (hopefully) everything I've suggested above.
