The new RTC emulation supports all interrupt modes: periodic, update ended
and alarm. It is also capable of maintaining the date/time and NVRAM contents
across virtual machine reset. Also, the date/time fields can now be modified
by the guest.
Since bhyve now emulates both the PIT and the RTC there is no need for
"Legacy Replacement Routing" in the HPET so get rid of it.
The RTC device state can be inspected via bhyvectl as follows:
bhyvectl --vm=vm --get-rtc-time
bhyvectl --vm=vm --set-rtc-time=<unix_time_secs>
bhyvectl --vm=vm --rtc-nvram-offset=<offset> --get-rtc-nvram
bhyvectl --vm=vm --rtc-nvram-offset=<offset> --set-rtc-nvram=<value>

Tracing the guest exceptions can be useful when debugging guest triple faults.
Note that there is a performance impact when exception tracing is enabled
since every exception will now trigger a VM-exit.
Also, handle machine check exceptions that happen during guest execution

too much duplicate functionality.
The VT-x code has the following types of MSRs:
- MSRs that are unconditionally saved/restored on every guest/host context
switch (e.g., MSR_GSBASE).
- MSRs that are restored to guest values on entry to vmx_run() and saved
before returning. This is an optimization for MSRs that are not used in
host kernel context (e.g., MSR_KGSBASE).
- MSRs that are emulated and every access by the guest causes a trap into
the hypervisor (e.g., MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE).

it saves having to walk the guest page tables to fetch the instruction.
vie_init() now takes two additional parameters 'inst_bytes' and 'inst_len'
that map directly to 'vie->inst[]' and 'vie->num_valid'.
The instruction emulation handler skips calling 'vmm_fetch_instruction()'

"executing" the HLT and by definition this moves the vcpu out of the

Prior to this change the interrupt would be held pending because the VMCS

This is usually not an issue as long as one of the other vcpus properly resets

with a signal the halted vcpu cannot be woken up because it's sleep cannot be

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 *'.
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.

there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.
Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

The order of event injection into the guest is:

- NMI
- maskable interrupt
In the Intel VT-x case, a pending NMI or interrupt will enable the interrupt
window-exiting and inject it as soon as possible after the hardware exception
is injected. Also since interrupts are inherently asynchronous, injecting
them after the hardware exception should not affect correctness from the
guest perspective.
