Turn on interrupt window exiting unconditionally when an ExtINT is being
injected into the guest.
Add helper functions to populate VM exit information for rendezvous and
astpending exits.
Provide APIs to directly get 'lowmem' and 'highmem' size directly.
Expose the amount of resident and wired memory from the guest's vmspace
Add ioctl(VM_REINIT) to reinitialize the virtual machine state maintained
by vmm.ko. This allows the virtual machine to be restarted without having
to destroy it first.

Emulation of the "ins" and "outs" instructions.
Various fixes for translating guest linear addresses to guest physical
addresses.
265941,265951,266390,266550,266910:
Various bhyve fixes:
- Don't save host's return address in 'struct vmxctx'.
- Permit non-32-bit accesses to local APIC registers.
- Factor out common ioport handler code.
- Use calloc() in favor of malloc + memset.
- Change the vlapic timer frequency to be in the ballpark of contemporary
hardware.
- Allow the guest to read the TSC via MSR 0x10.
- A VMCS is always inactive when it exits the vmx_run() loop. Remove
redundant code and the misleading comment that suggest otherwise.
- Ignore writes to microcode update MSR. This MSR is accessed by RHEL7
guest.
Add KTR tracepoints to annotate wrmsr and rdmsr VM exits.
- Provide an alias for the userboot console and name it 'comconsole'.
- Use EV_ADD to create an mevent and EV_ENABLE to enable it.
- abort(3) the process in response to a VMEXIT_ABORT.
- Don't include the guest memory segments in the bhyve(8) process core dump.
- Make the vmx asm code dtrace-fbt-friendly.
- Allow vmx_getdesc() and vmx_setdesc() to be called for a vcpu that is in
the VCPU_RUNNING state.
- Enable VMX in the IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL MSR if it not enabled and the MSR
isn't locked.
Add an ioctl to suspend a virtual machine (VM_SUSPEND).
Add logic in the HLT exit handler to detect if the guest has put all vcpus
to sleep permanently by executing a HLT with interrupts disabled.
When this condition is detected the guest with be suspended with a reason of
VM_SUSPEND_HALT and the bhyve(8) process will exit.
This logic can be disabled via the tunable 'hw.vmm.halt_detection'.
Add virtualized XSAVE support to bhyve which permits guests to use XSAVE and
XSAVE-enabled features like AVX.
- Store a per-cpu guest xcr0 register and handle xsetbv VM exits by emulating
the instruction.
- Only expose XSAVE to guests if XSAVE is enabled in the host. Only expose
a subset of XSAVE features currently supported by the guest and for which
the proper emulation of xsetbv is known. Currently this includes X87, SSE,
AVX, AVX-512, and Intel MPX.
- Add support for injecting hardware exceptions into the guest and use this
to trigger exceptions in the guest for invalid xsetbv operations instead
of potentially faulting in the host.
- Queue pending exceptions in the 'struct vcpu' instead of directly updating
the processor-specific VMCS or VMCB. The pending exception will be delivered
right before entering the guest.
- 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.
- Expose a subset of known-safe features from leaf 0 of the structured
extended features to guests if they are supported on the host including
RDFSBASE/RDGSBASE, BMI1/2, AVX2, AVX-512, HLE, ERMS, and RTM. Aside
from AVX-512, these features are all new instructions available for use
in ring 3 with no additional hypervisor changes needed.
Expand the support for PCI INTx interrupts including providing interrupt
routing information for INTx interrupts to I/O APIC pins and enabling
INTx interrupts in the virtio and AHCI backends.
Several changes to the local APIC support in bhyve:
- Rename 'vm_interrupt_hostcpu()' to 'vcpu_notify_event()'.
- If a vcpu disables its local apic and then executes a 'HLT' then spin
down the vcpu and destroy its thread context. Also modify the 'HLT'
processing to ignore pending interrupts in the IRR if interrupts have
been disabled by the guest. The interrupt cannot be injected into the
guest in any case so resuming it is futile.
- Use callout(9) to drive the vlapic timer instead of clocking it on each
VM exit.
- When the guest is bringing up the APs in the x2APIC mode a write to the
ICR register will now trigger a return to userspace with an exitcode of
VM_EXITCODE_SPINUP_AP.
- Change the vlapic timer lock to be a spinlock because the vlapic can be
accessed from within a critical section (vm run loop) when guest is using
x2apic mode.
- Fix the vlapic version register.
- Add a command to bhyvectl to inject an NMI on a specific vcpu.
- Add an API to deliver message signalled interrupts to vcpus. This allows
callers to treat the MSI 'addr' and 'data' fields as opaque and also lets
bhyve implement multiple destination modes: physical, flat and clustered.
- Rename the ambiguously named 'vm_setup_msi()' and 'vm_setup_msix()' to
'vm_setup_pptdev_msi()' and 'vm_setup_pptdev_msix()' respectively.
- Consolidate the virtual apic initialization in a single function:
vlapic_reset()
- Add a generic routine to trigger an LVT interrupt that supports both
fixed and NMI delivery modes.
- Add an ioctl and bhyvectl command to trigger local interrupts inside a
guest. In particular, a global NMI similar to that raised by SERR# or
PERR# can be simulated by asserting LINT1 on all vCPUs.
- Extend the LVT table in the vCPU local APIC to support CMCI.
- Flesh out the local APIC error reporting a bit to cache errors and
report them via ESR when ESR is written to. Add support for asserting
the error LVT when an error occurs. Raise illegal vector errors when
attempting to signal an invalid vector for an interrupt or when sending
an IPI.
- Export table entries in the MADT and MP Table advertising the stock x86
config of LINT0 set to ExtInt and LINT1 wired to NMI.
Several enhancements to the I/O APIC support in bhyve including:
- Move the I/O APIC device model from userspace into vmm.ko and add
ioctls to assert and deassert I/O APIC pins.
- Add HPET device emulation including a single timer block with 8 timers.
- Remove the 'vdev' abstraction.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

This also paves the way to satisfy the 4KB page allocations by requesting
