KVM: x86: fix emulation of RSM and IRET instructions
commit 6ed071f051e12cf7baa1b69d3becb8f232fdfb7b upstream. On AMD, the effect of set_nmi_mask called by emulate_iret_real and em_rsm on hflags is reverted later on in x86_emulate_instruction where hflags are overwritten with ctxt->emul_flags (the kvm_set_hflags call). This manifests as a hang when rebooting Windows VMs with QEMU, OVMF, and >1 vcpu. Instead of trying to merge ctxt->emul_flags into vcpu->arch.hflags after an instruction is emulated, this commit deletes emul_flags altogether and makes the emulator access vcpu->arch.hflags using two new accessors. This way all changes, on the emulator side as well as in functions called from the emulator and accessing vcpu state with emul_to_vcpu, are preserved. More details on the bug and its manifestation with Windows and OVMF: It's a KVM bug in the interaction between SMI/SMM and NMI, specific to AMD. I believe that the SMM part explains why we started seeing this only with OVMF. KVM masks and unmasks NMI when entering and leaving SMM. When KVM emulates the RSM instruction in em_rsm, the set_nmi_mask call doesn't stick because later on in x86_emulate_instruction we overwrite arch.hflags with ctxt->emul_flags, effectively reverting the effect of the set_nmi_mask call. The AMD-specific hflag of interest here is HF_NMI_MASK. When rebooting the system, Windows sends an NMI IPI to all but the current cpu to shut them down. Only after all of them are parked in HLT will the initiating cpu finish the restart. If NMI is masked, other cpus never get the memo and the initiating cpu spins forever, waiting for hal!HalpInterruptProcessorsStarted to drop. That's the symptom we observe.
