In __emulate_1op_rax_rdx, we use "+a" and "+d" which are input/output
constraints, and *then* use "a" and "d" as input constraints.  This is
incorrect, but happens to work on some versions of gcc.

However, it breaks gcc with -O0 and icc, and may break on future
versions of gcc.

The commit [ad756a16: KVM: VMX: Implement PCID/INVPCID for guests with
EPT] introduced the unconditional access to SECONDARY_VM_EXEC_CONTROL,
and this triggers kernel warnings like below on old CPUs:

On hosts without the XSAVE support unprivileged local user can trigger
oops similar to the one below by setting X86_CR4_OSXSAVE bit in guest
cr4 register using KVM_SET_SREGS ioctl and later issuing KVM_RUN
ioctl.

QEMU first retrieves the supported features via KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID
and then sets them later. So guest's X86_FEATURE_XSAVE should be masked
out on hosts without X86_FEATURE_XSAVE, making kvm_set_cr4 with
X86_CR4_OSXSAVE fail. Userspaces that allow specifying guest cpuid with
X86_FEATURE_XSAVE even on hosts that do not support it, might be
susceptible to this attack from inside the guest as well.

Allow setting X86_CR4_OSXSAVE bit only if host has XSAVE support.

<title>KVM: x86: fix vcpu-&gt;mmio_fragments overflow</title>

<content type='text'>
After commit b3356bf0dbb349 (KVM: emulator: optimize "rep ins" handling),
the pieces of io data can be collected and write them to the guest memory
or MMIO together

Unfortunately, kvm splits the mmio access into 8 bytes and store them to
vcpu-&gt;mmio_fragments. If the guest uses "rep ins" to move large data, it
will cause vcpu-&gt;mmio_fragments overflow

The bug can be exposed by isapc (-M isapc):

[23154.818733] general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
[ ......]
[23154.858083] Call Trace:

[23154.863604]  [&lt;ffffffffa04f5a1a&gt;] ? kvm_arch_vcpu_load+0x17b/0x180 [kvm]

Actually, we can use one mmio_fragment to store a large mmio access then
split it when we pass the mmio-exit-info to userspace. After that, we only
need two entries to store mmio info for the cross-mmio pages access

Pull perf update from Ingo Molnar:
 "Lots of changes in this cycle as well, with hundreds of commits from
  over 30 contributors.  Most of the activity was on the tooling side.

  Higher level changes:

   - New 'perf kvm' analysis tool, from Xiao Guangrong.

   - New 'perf trace' system-wide tracing tool

   - uprobes fixes + cleanups from Oleg Nesterov.

   - Lots of patches to make perf build on Android out of box, from
     Irina Tirdea

   - Extend ftrace function tracing utility to be more dynamic for its
     users.  It allows for data passing to the callback functions, as
     well as reading regs as if a breakpoint were to trigger at function
     entry.

     The main goal of this patch series was to allow kprobes to use
     ftrace as an optimized probe point when a probe is placed on an
     ftrace nop.  With lots of help from Masami Hiramatsu, and going
     through lots of iterations, we finally came up with a good
     solution.

   - Add cpumask for uncore pmu, use it in 'stat', from Yan, Zheng.

   - Various tracing updates from Steve Rostedt

   - Clean up and improve 'perf sched' performance by elliminating lots
     of needless calls to libtraceevent.

   - Event group parsing support, from Jiri Olsa

   - UI/gtk refactorings and improvements from Namhyung Kim

   - Add support for non-tracepoint events in perf script python, from
     Feng Tang

   - Add --symbols to 'script', similar to the one in 'report', from
     Feng Tang.

  Infrastructure enhancements and fixes:

   - Convert the trace builtins to use the growing evsel/evlist
     tracepoint infrastructure, removing several open coded constructs
     like switch like series of strcmp to dispatch events, etc.
     Basically what had already been showcased in 'perf sched'.

   - Add evsel constructor for tracepoints, that uses libtraceevent just
     to parse the /format events file, use it in a new 'perf test' to
     make sure the libtraceevent format parsing regressions can be more
     readily caught.

   - Some strange errors were happening in some builds, but not on the
     next, reported by several people, problem was some parser related
     files, generated during the build, didn't had proper make deps, fix
     from Eric Sandeen.

   - Introduce struct and cache information about the environment where
     a perf.data file was captured, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Fix handling of unresolved samples when --symbols is used in
     'report', from Feng Tang.

   - Add union member access support to 'probe', from Hyeoncheol Lee.

   - Fixups to die() removal, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Render fixes for the TUI, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Don't enable annotation in non symbolic view, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Fix pipe mode in 'report', from Namhyung Kim.

   - Move related stats code from stat to util/, will be used by the
     'stat' kvm tool, from Xiao Guangrong.

   - Remove die()/exit() calls from several tools.

   - Resolve vdso callchains, from Jiri Olsa

   - Don't pass const char pointers to basename, so that we can
     unconditionally use libgen.h and thus avoid ifdef BIONIC lines,
     from David Ahern

   - Refactor hist formatting so that it can be reused with the GTK
     browser, From Namhyung Kim

   - Fix build for another rbtree.c change, from Adrian Hunter.

   - Make 'perf diff' command work with evsel hists, from Jiri Olsa.

   - Use the only field_sep var that is set up: symbol_conf.field_sep,
     fix from Jiri Olsa.

   - .gitignore compiled python binaries, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Get rid of die() in more libtraceevent places, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Rename libtraceevent 'private' struct member to 'priv' so that it
     works in C++, from Steven Rostedt

   - Remove lots of exit()/die() calls from tools so that the main perf
     exit routine can take place, from David Ahern

   - Fix x86 build on x86-64, from David Ahern.

   - {int,str,rb}list fixes from Suzuki K Poulose

   - perf.data header fixes from Namhyung Kim

   - Allow user to indicate objdump path, needed in cross environments,
     from Maciek Borzecki

   - Fix hardware cache event name generation, fix from Jiri Olsa

   - Add round trip test for sw, hw and cache event names, catching the
     problem Jiri fixed, after Jiri's patch, the test passes
     successfully.

   - Clean target should do clean for lib/traceevent too, fix from David
     Ahern

   - Check the right variable for allocation failure, fix from Namhyung
     Kim

   - Set up evsel-&gt;tp_format regardless of evsel-&gt;name being set
     already, fix from Namhyung Kim

   - Oprofile fixes from Robert Richter.

   - Remove perf_event_attr needless version inflation, from Jiri Olsa

   - Introduce libtraceevent strerror like error reporting facility,
     from Namhyung Kim

   - Add pmu mappings to perf.data header and use event names from cmd
     line, from Robert Richter

   - Fix include order for bison/flex-generated C files, from Ben
     Hutchings

   - Build fixes and documentation corrections from David Ahern

   - Assorted cleanups from Robert Richter

   - Let O= makes handle relative paths, from Steven Rostedt

   - perf script python fixes, from Feng Tang.

   - Initial bash completion support, from Frederic Weisbecker

   - Allow building without libelf, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Support DWARF CFI based unwind to have callchains when %bp based
     unwinding is not possible, from Jiri Olsa.

   - Symbol resolution fixes, while fixing support PPC64 files with an
     .opt ELF section was the end goal, several fixes for code that
     handles all architectures and cleanups are included, from Cody
     Schafer.

   - Assorted fixes for Documentation and build in 32 bit, from Robert
     Richter

   - Cache the libtraceevent event_format associated to each evsel
     early, so that we avoid relookups, i.e.  calling pevent_find_event
     repeatedly when processing tracepoint events.

     [ This is to reduce the surface contact with libtraceevents and
        make clear what is that the perf tools needs from that lib: so
        far parsing the common and per event fields.  ]

   - Don't stop the build if the audit libraries are not installed, fix
     from Namhyung Kim.

   - Fix bfd.h/libbfd detection with recent binutils, from Markus
     Trippelsdorf.

   - Improve warning message when libunwind devel packages not present,
     from Jiri Olsa"
