potentially result in a missed notification about a pending interrupt to
a vcpu. The interrupt would not be lost but rather delayed until the next
VM exit.
The vcpu's hostcpu is now updated concurrently with the vcpu state change.
When the vcpu transitions to the RUNNING state the hostcpu is set to 'curcpu'.
It is set to 'NOCPU' in all other cases.

processor-specific VMCS or VMCB. The pending exception will be delivered right
before entering the guest.
The order of event injection into the guest is:
- hardware exception
- 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.
Rename the unused ioctl VM_INJECT_EVENT to VM_INJECT_EXCEPTION and restrict
it to only deliver x86 hardware exceptions. This new ioctl is now used to
inject a protection fault when the guest accesses an unimplemented MSR.

processor family to determine if the workaround for AMD Family 10h Erratum
383 should be enabled. To enable virtual machine migration among a
heterogeneous collection of physical machines, the hypervisor may have
been configured to report an older processor family with a reduced feature
set. Effectively, the reported processor family and its features are like
a "least common denominator" for the collection of machines.
Therefore, when the kernel is running in a virtual machine, instead of
relying upon the processor family, we now test for features that prove
that the underlying processor is not affected by the erratum. (The
features that we test for are unlikely to ever be emulated in software
on an affected physical processor.)

The vlapic.ops handler 'enable_x2apic_mode' is called when the vlapic mode
is switched to x2APIC. The VT-x implementation of this handler turns off the
APIC-access virtualization and enables the x2APIC virtualization in the VMCS.
The x2APIC virtualization is done by allowing guest read access to a subset
of MSRs in the x2APIC range. In non-root operation the processor will satisfy
an 'rdmsr' access to these MSRs by reading from the virtual APIC page instead.
The guest is also given write access to TPR, EOI and SELF_IPI MSRs which
get special treatment in non-root operation. This is documented in the
Intel SDM section titled "Virtualizing MSR-Based APIC Accesses".
Enforce that APIC-write and APIC-access VM-exits are handled only if
APIC-access virtualization is enabled. The one exception to this is
SELF_IPI virtualization which may result in an APIC-write VM-exit.

Prior to this change the vlapic allowed the guest to change its mode from
xAPIC to x2APIC. We don't allow that any more and the vlapic mode is locked
when the virtual machine is created. This is not very constraining because
operating systems already have to deal with BIOS setting up the APIC in
x2APIC mode at boot.

from the host to the guest.

All accesses to the corresponding offset in xAPIC mode are ignored.
Also, do not panic the host if there is mismatch between the trigger mode

If a VM-exit is caused by an NMI then "blocking by NMI" is in effect on the
CPU when the VM-exit is completed. No more NMIs will be recognized until
the execution of an "iret".
Prior to this change the NMI handler was dispatched via a software interrupt
with interrupts enabled. This meant that an interrupt could be recognized
by the processor before the NMI handler completed its execution. The "iret"
issued by the interrupt handler would then cause the "blocking by NMI" to
be cleared prematurely.
This is now fixed by handling the NMI with interrupts disabled in addition
to "blocking by NMI" already established by the VM-exit.

file so it can be shared with bootinfo32.c to pass an SMAP to the i386
kernel.
- Use uint32_t instead of u_long when aligning module metadata in
bootinfo32.c in userboot, as otherwise the metadata used 64-bit
alignment which corrupted the layout.
- Populate the basemem and extmem members of the bootinfo struct passed
to 32-bit kernels.
- Fix the 32-bit stack in userboot to start at the top of the stack
instead of the bottom so that there is room to grow before the
kernel switches to its own stack.
- Push a fake return address onto the 32-bit stack in addition to the
arguments normally passed to exec() in the loader. This return
address is needed to convince recover_bootinfo() in the 32-bit
locore code that it is being invoked from a "new" boot block.

PAE paging in addition to long mode paging. Don't look for a REX

Prior to this change the cached value of 'pm_eptgen' was tracked per-vcpu
and per-hostcpu. In the degenerate case where 'N' vcpus were sharing
a single hostcpu this could result in 'N - 1' unnecessary TLB invalidations.
Since an 'invept' invalidates mappings for all VPIDs the first 'invept'
is sufficient.
Fix this by moving the 'eptgen[MAXCPU]' array from 'vmxctx' to 'struct vmx'.
If it is known that an 'invept' is going to be done before entering the
guest then it is safe to skip the 'invvpid'. The stat VPU_INVVPID_SAVED

they were subsumed by an 'invept'.
