Subject: [PATCH v5 1/9] x86/split_lock: Rework the initialization flow of split lock detection
Current initialization flow of split lock detection has following issues:
1. It assumes the initial value of MSR_TEST_CTRL.SPLIT_LOCK_DETECT to be
zero. However, it's possible that BIOS/firmware has set it.
2. X86_FEATURE_SPLIT_LOCK_DETECT flag is unconditionally set even if
there is a virtualization flaw that FMS indicates the existence while
it's actually not supported.
3. Because of #2, KVM cannot rely on X86_FEATURE_SPLIT_LOCK_DETECT flag
to check verify if feature does exist, so cannot expose it to guest.
To solve these issues, introducing a new sld_state, "sld_not_exist", as
the default value. It will be switched to other value if CORE_CAPABILITIES
or FMS enumerate split lock detection.
Only when sld_state != sld_not_exist, it goes to initialization flow.
In initialization flow, it explicitly accesses MSR_TEST_CTRL and
SPLIT_LOCK_DETECT bit to ensure there is no virtualization flaw, i.e.,
feature split lock detection does supported. In detail,
1. sld_off, verify SPLIT_LOCK_DETECT bit can be cleared, and clear it;
2. sld_warn, verify SPLIT_LOCK_DETECT bit can be cleared and set,
and set it;
3. sld_fatal, verify SPLIT_LOCK_DETECT bit can be set, and set it;
Only when no MSR aceessing failure, can X86_FEATURE_SPLIT_LOCK_DETECT be
set. So kvm can use X86_FEATURE_SPLIT_LOCK_DETECT to check the existence
of feature.
Also, since MSR and bit are checked when split_lock_init(), there
is no need to use safe version RDMSR/WRMSR at runtime.
