There are cases that malicious virtual machine can cause CPU stuck (due
to event windows don't open up), e.g., infinite loop in microcode when
nested #AC (CVE-2015-5307). No event window means no event (NMI, SMI and
IRQ) can be delivered. It leads the CPU to be unavailable to host or
other VMs. Notify VM exit is introduced to mitigate such kind of
attacks, which will generate a VM exit if no event window occurs in VM
non-root mode for a specified amount of time (notify window).

A new KVM capability KVM_CAP_X86_NOTIFY_VMEXIT is exposed to user space
so that the user can query the capability and set the expected notify
window when creating VMs. The format of the argument when enabling this
capability is as follows:
   Bit 63:32 - notify window specified in qemu command
   Bit 31:0  - some flags (e.g. KVM_X86_NOTIFY_VMEXIT_ENABLED is set to
               enable the feature.)

Because there are some concerns, e.g. a notify VM exit may happen with
VM_CONTEXT_INVALID set in exit qualification (no cases are anticipated
that would set this bit), which means VM context is corrupted. To avoid
the false positive and a well-behaved guest gets killed, make this
feature disabled by default. Users can enable the feature by a new
machine property:
     qemu -machine notify_vmexit=on,notify_window=0 ...

A new KVM exit reason KVM_EXIT_NOTIFY is defined for notify VM exit. If
it happens with VM_INVALID_CONTEXT, hypervisor exits to user space to
inform the fatal case. Then user space can inject a SHUTDOWN event to
the target vcpu. This is implemented by injecting a sythesized triple
fault event.

The original behavior:

if (object_dynamic_cast(OBJECT(ms), TYPE_X86_MACHINE)) {
... do some thing }
return 0;

Note that it won't throw any exceptions if ms is not
instance of TYPE_X86_MACHINE, but now the assert() throws
exceptions in this case. In another hand, assert() may
become nothing in NDEBUG case.


Agreed, but since it's for i386, I don't know if in any case, it would assert the exception.

May move the whole BUS LOCK part and new NOTIFY_VMEXIT part
to 2 separate functions and call them from kvm_arch_init()
makes the readability better.


I don't have preference for this. Maybe not deserve to separate the functions as current enabling code is not so complicated.
