apicv is globally disabled
commit a4443267800af240072280c44521caab61924e55 upstream.
When apicv is disabled on a vCPU (e.g. by enabling KVM_CAP_HYPERV_SYNIC*),
nothing happens to VMX MSRs on the already existing vCPUs, however, all new
ones are created with PIN_BASED_POSTED_INTR filtered out. This is very
confusing and results in the following picture inside the guest:
$ rdmsr -ax 0x48d
ff00000016
7f00000016
7f00000016
7f00000016
This is observed with QEMU and 4-vCPU guest: QEMU creates vCPU0, does
KVM_CAP_HYPERV_SYNIC2 and then creates the remaining three.
L1 hypervisor may only check CPU0's controls to find out what features
are available and it will be very confused later. Switch to setting
PIN_BASED_POSTED_INTR control based on global 'enable_apicv' setting.

commit a47970ed74a535b1accb4bc73643fd5a93993c3e upstream.
Current SVM implementation does not have support for handling PKU. Guests
running on a host with future AMD cpus that support the feature will read
garbage from the PKRU register and will hit segmentation faults on boot as
memory is getting marked as protected that should not be. Ensure that cpuid
from SVM does not advertise the feature.

The capabilities header depends on asm/vmx.h but doesn't explicitly
include said file. This currently doesn't cause problems as all users
of capbilities.h first include asm/vmx.h, but the issue often results in
build errors if someone starts moving things around the VMX files.
Fixes: 3077c1910882 ("KVM: VMX: Move capabilities structs and helpers to dedicated file")

Intel Processor Trace virtualization can be work in one
of 2 possible modes:
a. System-Wide mode (default):
When the host configures Intel PT to collect trace packets
of the entire system, it can leave the relevant VMX controls
clear to allow VMX-specific packets to provide information
across VMX transitions.
KVM guest will not aware this feature in this mode and both
host and KVM guest trace will output to host buffer.
b. Host-Guest mode:
Host can configure trace-packet generation while in
VMX non-root operation for guests and root operation
for native executing normally.
Intel PT will be exposed to KVM guest in this mode, and
the trace output to respective buffer of host and guest.
In this mode, tht status of PT will be saved and disabled
before VM-entry and restored after VM-exit if trace
a virtual machine.

Expose the variables associated with various module params that are
needed by the nested VMX code. There is no ulterior logic for what
variables are/aren't exposed, this is purely "what's needed by the
nested code".
Note that @nested is intentionally not exposed.

Defining a separate capabilities.h as opposed to putting this code in
e.g. vmx.h avoids circular dependencies between (the yet-to-be-added)
vmx.h and nested.h. The aforementioned circular dependencies are why
struct nested_vmx_msrs also resides in capabilities instead of e.g.
nested.h.
