Neel Natu ad54f37429 Fix a long standing bug in VMXCTX_GUEST_RESTORE().
There was an assumption by the "callers" of this macro that on "return" the
%rsp will be pointing to the 'vmxctx'. The macro was not doing this and thus
when trying to restore host state on an error from "vmlaunch" or "vmresume"
we were treating the memory locations on the host stack as 'struct vmxctx'.
This led to all sorts of weird bugs like double faults or invalid instruction
faults.

This bug is exposed by the -O2 option used to compile the kernel module. With
the -O2 flag the compiler will optimize the following piece of code:

	int loopstart = 1;
	...
	if (loopstart) {
		loopstart = 0;
		vmx_launch();
	} else
		vmx_resume();

into this:

	vmx_launch();

Since vmx_launch() and vmx_resume() are declared to be __dead2 functions the
compiler is free to do this. The compiler has no way to know that the
functions return indirectly through vmx_setjmp(). This optimization in turn
leads us to trigger the bug in VMXCTX_GUEST_RESTORE().

With this change we can boot a 8.1 guest on a 9.0 host.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.  This file
was last revised on:
$FreeBSD$

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc.  The ``world''
target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not
changed from the currently running version.  See:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
for more information, including setting make(1) variables.

The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation
for which can be found at:
   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
And in the config(8) man page.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
kernel.  The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.  It is the successor of the ancient
LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a
pure reference and documentation file.
