Subject: x86/vmx: Fix handing of MSR_DEBUGCTL on VMExit
From: Andrew Cooper andrew.cooper3@citrix.com Thu May 24 17:20:09 2018 +0000

Currently, whenever the guest writes a nonzero value to MSR_DEBUGCTL, Xen
updates a host MSR load list entry with the current hardware value of
MSR_DEBUGCTL.

On VMExit, hardware automatically resets MSR_DEBUGCTL to 0.  Later, when the
guest writes to MSR_DEBUGCTL, the current value in hardware (0) is fed back
into guest load list.  As a practical result, `ler` debugging gets lost on any
PCPU which has ever scheduled an HVM vcpu, and the common case when `ler`
debugging isn't active, guest actions result in an unnecessary load list entry
repeating the MSR_DEBUGCTL reset.

Restoration of Xen's debugging setting needs to happen from the very first
vmexit.  Due to the automatic reset, Xen need take no action in the general
case, and only needs to load a value when debugging is active.

This could be fixed by using a host MSR load list entry set up during
construct_vmcs().  However, a more efficient option is to use an alternative
block in the VMExit path, keyed on whether hypervisor debugging has been
enabled.

In order to set this up, drop the per cpu ler_msr variable (as there is no
point having it per cpu when it will be the same everywhere), and use a single
read_mostly variable instead.  Split calc_ler_msr() out of percpu_traps_init()
for clarity.

Finally, clean up do_debug().  Reinstate LBR early to help catch cascade
errors, which allows for the removal of the out label.
