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

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".

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

operating systems already have to deal with BIOS setting up the APIC in
x2APIC mode at boot.

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.
- Similar to the hack for bootinfo32.c in userboot, define

- Copy the SMAP generation code out of bootinfo64.c and into its own
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.
- Add a routine to libvmmapi to setup a 32-bit flat mode register state
including a GDT and TSS that is able to start the i386 kernel and
update bhyveload to use it when booting an i386 kernel.
- Use the guest register state to determine the CPU's current instruction
mode (32-bit vs 64-bit) and paging mode (flat, 32-bit, PAE, or long

used when fetching instructions to handle flat mode, 32-bit paging, and
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

APIC-write: This is a trap-like VM-exit which does not require any instruction
emulation but it does require the hypervisor to emulate the access to the
specified register (e.g. icrlo register).
