[PATCH v4 03/34] KVM: selftests: Add a shameful hack to preserve/clobber GPRs across ucall

[Sean Christopherson]

Preserve or clobber all GPRs (except RIP and RSP, as they're saved and
restored via the VMCS) when performing a ucall on x86 to fudge around a
horrific long-standing bug in selftests' nested VMX support where L2's
GPRs are not preserved across a nested VM-Exit.  I.e. if a test triggers a
nested VM-Exit to L1 in response to a ucall, e.g. GUEST_SYNC(), then L2's
GPR state can be corrupted.

The issues manifests as an unexpected #GP in clear_bit() when running the
hyperv_evmcs test due to RBX being used to track the ucall object, and RBX
being clobbered by the nested VM-Exit.  The problematic hyperv_evmcs
testcase is where L0 (test's host userspace) injects an NMI in response to
GUEST_SYNC(8) from L2, but the bug could "randomly" manifest in any test
that induces a nested VM-Exit from L0.  The bug hasn't caused failures in
the past due to sheer dumb luck.

The obvious fix is to rework the nVMX helpers to save/restore L2 GPRs
across VM-Exit and VM-Enter, but that is a much bigger task and carries
its own risks, e.g. nSVM does save/restore GPRs, but not in a thread-safe
manner, and there is a _lot_ of cleanup that can be done to unify code
for doing VM-Enter on nVMX, nSVM, and eVMCS.
