[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 1/2] nvmx: implement support for MSR bitmaps



Current implementation of nested VMX has a half baked handling of MSR
bitmaps for the L1 VMM: it maps the L1 VMM provided MSR bitmap, but
doesn't actually load it into the nested vmcs, and thus the nested
guest vmcs ends up using the same MSR bitmap as the L1 VMM.

This is wrong as there's no assurance that the set of features enabled
for the L1 vmcs are the same that L1 itself is going to use in the
nested vmcs, and thus can lead to misconfigurations.

For example L1 vmcs can use x2APIC virtualization and virtual
interrupt delivery, and thus some x2APIC MSRs won't be trapped so that
they can be handled directly by the hardware using virtualization
extensions. On the other hand, the nested vmcs created by L1 VMM might
not use any of such features, so using a MSR bitmap that doesn't trap
accesses to the x2APIC MSRs will be leaking them to the underlying
hardware.

Fix this by crafting a merged MSR bitmap between the one used by L1
and the nested guest.

This seems better than what's done currently, but TBH there's a lot of
work to be done in nvmx in order to make it functional and secure that
I'm not sure whether building on top of the current implementation is
something sane to do, or it would be better to start from scratch and
re-implement nvmx to just support the minimum required set of VTx
features in a sane and safe way.
---
Changes since v1:
 - Split the x2APIC MSR fix into a separate patch.
 - Move setting MSR_BITMAP vmcs field into load_vvmcs_host_state for
   virtual vmexit.
 - Allocate memory with MEMF_no_owner.
 - Use tabs to align comment of the nestedvmx struct field.
