01d822d33b Add the ability to control the CPU topology of created VMs
from userland without the need to use sysctls, it allows the old
sysctls to continue to function, but deprecates them at
FreeBSD_version 1200060 (Relnotes for deprecate).

The command line of bhyve is maintained in a backwards compatible way.
The API of libvmmapi is maintained in a backwards compatible way.
The sysctl's are maintained in a backwards compatible way.

Added command option looks like:
bhyve -c [[cpus=]n][,sockets=n][,cores=n][,threads=n][,maxcpus=n]
The optional parts can be specified in any order, but only a single
integer invokes the backwards compatible parse.  [,maxcpus=n] is
hidden by #ifdef until kernel support is added, though the api
is put in place.

bhyvectl --get-cpu-topology option added.

fc276d92ae Add a way to temporarily suspend and resume virtual CPUs.
This is used as part of implementing run control in bhyve's debug
server.  The hypervisor now maintains a set of "debugged" CPUs.
Attempting to run a debugged CPU will fail to execute any guest
instructions and will instead report a VM_EXITCODE_DEBUG exit to
the userland hypervisor.  Virtual CPUs are placed into the debugged
state via vm_suspend_cpu() (implemented via a new VM_SUSPEND_CPU ioctl).
Virtual CPUs can be resumed via vm_resume_cpu() (VM_RESUME_CPU ioctl).

The debug server suspends virtual CPUs when it wishes them to stop
executing in the guest (for example, when a debugger attaches to the
server).  The debug server can choose to resume only a subset of CPUs
(for example, when single stepping) or it can choose to resume all
CPUs.  The debug server must explicitly mark a CPU as resumed via
vm_resume_cpu() before the virtual CPU will successfully execute any
guest instructions.

36e8356e99 Fix a regression in "movs" emulation after r284539. The regression was caused
due to a change in behavior of the 'vm_map_gpa()'.

Prior to r284539 if 'vm_map_gpa()' was called to map an address range in the
guest MMIO region then it would return NULL. This was used by the "movs"
emulation to detect if the 'src' or 'dst' operand was in MMIO space.

Post r284539 'vm_map_gpa()' started returning a non-NULL pointer even when
mapping the guest MMIO region.

Fix this by returning non-NULL only if [gaddr, gaddr+len) is entirely
within the 'lowmem' or 'highmem' regions and NULL otherwise.

9b1aa8d622 Restructure memory allocation in bhyve to support "devmem".
devmem is used to represent MMIO devices like the boot ROM or a VESA framebuffer
where doing a trap-and-emulate for every access is impractical. devmem is a
hybrid of system memory (sysmem) and emulated device models.

devmem is mapped in the guest address space via nested page tables similar
to sysmem. However the address range where devmem is mapped may be changed
by the guest at runtime (e.g. by reprogramming a PCI BAR). Also devmem is
usually mapped RO or RW as compared to RWX mappings for sysmem.

Each devmem segment is named (e.g. "bootrom") and this name is used to
create a device node for the devmem segment (e.g. /dev/vmm/testvm.bootrom).
The device node supports mmap(2) and this decouples the host mapping of
devmem from its mapping in the guest address space (which can change).

9c4d547896 Deprecate the 3-way return values from vm_gla2gpa() and vm_copy_setup().
Prior to this change both functions returned 0 for success, -1 for failure
and +1 to indicate that an exception was injected into the guest.

The numerical value of ERESTART also happens to be -1 so when these functions
returned -1 it had to be translated to a positive errno value to prevent the
VM_RUN ioctl from being inadvertently restarted. This made it easy to introduce
bugs when writing emulation code.

Fix this by adding an 'int *guest_fault' parameter and setting it to '1' if
an exception was delivered to the guest. The return value is 0 or EFAULT so
no additional translation is needed.

d087a39935 Simplify instruction restart logic in bhyve.
Keep track of the next instruction to be executed by the vcpu as 'nextrip'.
As a result the VM_RUN ioctl no longer takes the %rip where a vcpu should
start execution.

Also, instruction restart happens implicitly via 'vm_inject_exception()' or
explicitly via 'vm_restart_instruction()'. The APIs behave identically in
both kernel and userspace contexts. The main beneficiary is the instruction
emulation code that executes in both contexts.

bhyve(8) VM exit handlers now treat 'vmexit->rip' and 'vmexit->inst_length'
as readonly:
- Restarting an instruction is now done by calling 'vm_restart_instruction()'
  as opposed to setting 'vmexit->inst_length' to 0 (e.g. emulate_inout())
- Resuming vcpu at an arbitrary %rip is now done by setting VM_REG_GUEST_RIP
  as opposed to changing 'vmexit->rip' (e.g. vmexit_task_switch())

d37f2adb38 Fix fault injection in bhyve.
The faulting instruction needs to be restarted when the exception handler
is done handling the fault. bhyve now does this correctly by setting
'vmexit[vcpu].inst_length' to zero so the %rip is not advanced.

A minor complication is that the fault injection APIs are used by instruction
emulation code that is shared by vmm.ko and bhyve. Thus the argument that
refers to 'struct vm *' in kernel or 'struct vmctx *' in userspace needs to
be loosely typed as a 'void *'.

091d453222 Handle nested exceptions in bhyve.
A nested exception condition arises when a second exception is triggered while
delivering the first exception. Most nested exceptions can be handled serially
but some are converted into a double fault. If an exception is generated during
delivery of a double fault then the virtual machine shuts down as a result of
a triple fault.

vm_exit_intinfo() is used to record that a VM-exit happened while an event was
being delivered through the IDT. If an exception is triggered while handling
the VM-exit it will be treated like a nested exception.

vm_entry_intinfo() is used by processor-specific code to get the event to be
injected into the guest on the next VM-entry. This function is responsible for
deciding the disposition of nested exceptions.

  registers at 0x60-63 and 0x68-6b.
- For each configured PCI INTx interrupt, route it to both an I/O APIC
  pin and a PCI interrupt router pin.  When a PCI INTx interrupt is
  asserted, ensure that both pins are asserted.
- Provide an initial routing of PCI interrupt router (PIRQ) pins to
  8259A pins (ISA IRQs) and initialize the interrupt line config register
  for the corresponding PCI function with the ISA IRQ as this matches
  existing hardware.
- Add a global _PIC method for OSPM to select the desired interrupt routing
  configuration.
- Update the _PRT methods for PCI bridges to provide both APIC and legacy
  PRT tables and return the appropriate table based on the configured
  routing configuration.  Note that if the lpc device is not configured, no
  routing information is provided.
- When the lpc device is enabled, provide ACPI PCI link devices corresponding
  to each PIRQ pin.
- Add a VMM ioctl to adjust the trigger mode (edge vs level) for 8259A
  pins via the ELCR.
- Mark the power management SCI as level triggered.
- Don't hardcode the number of elements in Packages in the source for

them after the hardware exception should not affect correctness from the
guest perspective.

49cc03da31 Add a new capability, VM_CAP_ENABLE_INVPCID, that can be enabled to expose
'invpcid' instruction to the guest. Currently bhyve will try to enable this
capability unconditionally if it is available.

Consolidate code in bhyve to set the capabilities so it is no longer
duplicated in BSP and AP bringup.

Add a sysctl 'vm.pmap.invpcid_works' to display whether the 'invpcid'
instruction is available.

318224bbe6 Merge projects/bhyve_npt_pmap into head.
Make the amd64/pmap code aware of nested page table mappings used by bhyve
guests. This allows bhyve to associate each guest with its own vmspace and
deal with nested page faults in the context of that vmspace. This also
enables features like accessed/dirty bit tracking, swapping to disk and
transparent superpage promotions of guest memory.

Guest vmspace:
Each bhyve guest has a unique vmspace to represent the physical memory
allocated to the guest. Each memory segment allocated by the guest is
mapped into the guest's address space via the 'vmspace->vm_map' and is
backed by an object of type OBJT_DEFAULT.

pmap types:
The amd64/pmap now understands two types of pmaps: PT_X86 and PT_EPT.

The PT_X86 pmap type is used by the vmspace associated with the host kernel
as well as user processes executing on the host. The PT_EPT pmap is used by
the vmspace associated with a bhyve guest.

Page Table Entries:
The EPT page table entries as mostly similar in functionality to regular
page table entries although there are some differences in terms of what
bits are used to express that functionality. For e.g. the dirty bit is
represented by bit 9 in the nested PTE as opposed to bit 6 in the regular
x86 PTE. Therefore the bitmask representing the dirty bit is now computed
at runtime based on the type of the pmap. Thus PG_M that was previously a
macro now becomes a local variable that is initialized at runtime using
'pmap_modified_bit(pmap)'.

An additional wrinkle associated with EPT mappings is that older Intel
processors don't have hardware support for tracking accessed/dirty bits in
the PTE. This means that the amd64/pmap code needs to emulate these bits to
provide proper accounting to the VM subsystem. This is achieved by using
the following mapping for EPT entries that need emulation of A/D bits:
               Bit Position           Interpreted By
PG_V               52                 software (accessed bit emulation handler)
PG_RW              53                 software (dirty bit emulation handler)
PG_A               0                  hardware (aka EPT_PG_RD)
PG_M               1                  hardware (aka EPT_PG_WR)

The idea to use the mapping listed above for A/D bit emulation came from
Alan Cox (alc@).

The final difference with respect to x86 PTEs is that some EPT implementations
do not support superpage mappings. This is recorded in the 'pm_flags' field
of the pmap.

TLB invalidation:
The amd64/pmap code has a number of ways to do invalidation of mappings
that may be cached in the TLB: single page, multiple pages in a range or the
entire TLB. All of these funnel into a single EPT invalidation routine called
'pmap_invalidate_ept()'. This routine bumps up the EPT generation number and
sends an IPI to the host cpus that are executing the guest's vcpus. On a
subsequent entry into the guest it will detect that the EPT has changed and
invalidate the mappings from the TLB.

Guest memory access:
Since the guest memory is no longer wired we need to hold the host physical
page that backs the guest physical page before we can access it. The helper
functions 'vm_gpa_hold()/vm_gpa_release()' are available for this purpose.

PCI passthru:
Guest's with PCI passthru devices will wire the entire guest physical address
space. The MMIO BAR associated with the passthru device is backed by a
vm_object of type OBJT_SG. An IOMMU domain is created only for guest's that
have one or more PCI passthru devices attached to them.

Limitations:
There isn't a way to map a guest physical page without execute permissions.
This is because the amd64/pmap code interprets the guest physical mappings as
user mappings since they are numerically below VM_MAXUSER_ADDRESS. Since PG_U
shares the same bit position as EPT_PG_EXECUTE all guest mappings become
automatically executable.

Thanks to Alan Cox and Konstantin Belousov for their rigorous code reviews
as well as their support and encouragement.

Thanks for John Baldwin for reviewing the use of OBJT_SG as the backing
object for pci passthru mmio regions.

Special thanks to Peter Holm for testing the patch on short notice.

ade4af668a Remove deprecated APIs to get the total and free memory available to vmm.ko.
These APIs were relevant when memory for virtual machine allocation was
hard partitioned away from the rest of the system but that is no longer
the case. The sysctls that provided this information were garbage collected
a while back.

b060ba5024 Simplify the assignment of memory to virtual machines by requiring a single
command line option "-m <memsize in MB>" to specify the memory size.

Prior to this change the user needed to explicitly specify the amount of
memory allocated below 4G (-m <lowmem>) and the amount above 4G (-M <highmem>).

The "-M" option is no longer supported by 'bhyveload' and 'bhyve'.

The start of the PCI hole is fixed at 3GB and cannot be directly changed
using command line options. However it is still possible to change this in
special circumstances via the 'vm_set_lowmem_limit()' API provided by
libvmmapi.

485b3300cc Implement guest vcpu pinning using 'pthread_setaffinity_np(3)'.
Prior to this change pinning was implemented via an ioctl (VM_SET_PINNING)
that called 'sched_bind()' on behalf of the user thread.

The ULE implementation of 'sched_bind()' bumps up 'td_pinned' which in turn
runs afoul of the assertion '(td_pinned == 0)' in userret().

Using the cpuset affinity to implement pinning of the vcpu threads works with
both 4BSD and ULE schedulers and has the happy side-effect of getting rid
of a bunch of code in vmm.ko.

fbfc1c763c Remove mptable generation code from libvmmapi and move it to bhyve.
Firmware tables require too much knowledge of system configuration,
and it's difficult to pass that information in general terms to a library.
The upcoming ACPI work exposed this - it will also livein bhyve.

Also, remove code specific to NetApp from the mptable name, and remove
the -n option from bhyve.
