KVM_GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST does not consistently include all
guest-programmable MTRR MSRs.
During save/restore while booting, the VMM initially sets only
MSR_MTRRdefType, then guest firmware or other early boot code can
program additional MTRR state before the snapshot is taken. If those
MSRs are missing from the vCPU MSR buffer, snapshot omits part of the
guest's MTRR configuration and restore resumes with an incomplete
MTRR map.
Add the guest-programmable MTRR MSRs to the KVM MSR index list used
to build the vCPU MSR buffer so the existing snapshot/restore path
preserves the guest's MTRR state.

When booting an SEV-SNP guest VM using IGVM with -pvalidate_opt 1 (lazy
page acceptance), the guest kernel's #VC exception handler may issue
VMGEXIT with SVM_EXIT_CPUID (0x72) or SVM_EXIT_MSR (0x7c) exit codes
via the GHCB page protocol. The hypervisor had no handlers for these
exit codes, causing the guest's #VC handler to fail and trigger
sev_es_terminate(), which sends GHCB_MSR_TERM_REQ (0x100). The
hypervisor then panicked on the unhandled 0x100 operation.
Add the following handlers to the GHCB VMGEXIT processing:
- SVM_EXIT_CPUID (0x72): Read function/index/xcr0/xss from the GHCB
page and return CPUID results via get_cpuid_values().
- SVM_EXIT_MSR (0x7c): Handle MSR read (RDMSR) and write (WRMSR)
requests from the guest via the GHCB page protocol.
- GHCB_MSR_TERM_REQ (0x100): Decode reason_set and reason_val from the
GHCB MSR and return an error instead of panicking, allowing graceful
error propagation.
Testing:
Reproducer (on Azure DC16as_cc_v5, /dev/mshv):
cloud-hypervisor --cpus boot=1,nested=off --memory size=512M \
--disk path=osdisk.img path=cloudinit \

Before fix:

After fix: VM boots successfully to login prompt with no panics.

No regression risk for non-SEV-SNP: all new code is within the

Add handling for GHCB_INFO_SPECIAL_DBGPRINT VMG exit in the SEV-SNP
guest exit handler. This exit occurs when the guest sends debug print
requests through the GHCB interface.
Without this handler, SEV-SNP guests fail to boot when debug output
is triggered, such as when a debugger is attached to the guest image.
The handler acknowledges the exit without printing to avoid performance
degradation from frequent debug print requests.

In most of the cases, special registers don't change after emulations,
but current code sets them back unconditionally, and although some of
them are set over the register page, others require a system call and a
hypervisor to be updated, which is a waste it there were not changes.
Introduce and CPU update method for Microsoft Hypervisor emulator and
set special registers only when they were changed. This change reduces
guest boot time by 4% for a single VP guest boot (in L1VH partition) in
my experiments.

x86::__cpuid is safe on Rust ≥1.94 but unsafe on older versions. This
causes unused_unsafe warnings when compiling with Rust ≥1.94. However,
on earlier Rust versions, the code won’t compile if the unsafe blocks
are absent.
Work around this by adding #[allow(unused_unsafe)] where needed to
suppress the warnings.

On MSHV, exposing multithreaded CPU topologies requires setting the
PROCESSORS_PER_SOCKET partition property so that CPUID.0xB reports
correct logical processor counts and topology levels to the guest.
This property must be set after all vCPUs are configured, as the
hypervisor uses the complete vCPU layout to derive and report CPU
topology information.

The MSR enumeration logic in MSHV does not accurately
account for the capabilities of the underlying
hardware and hypervisor. Previously, integration tests
passed because only the default MSRs—universally supported
across platforms—were involved. However, recent feature
additions in MSHV have introduced MSRs that are not
supported on Intel hardware, causing failures.
This patch retrieves the MSRs from the VM specific
API call that filters out the unsupported MSRs.

Currently when the user configures AMX the corresponding state
components get dynamically enabled directly inside the function body of
vmm::cpu::CpuManager::new.
With our ongoing work on CPU templates/profiles, there will (likely) be
one more binary crate for producing CPU profiles that also needs to do
this (without creating a CpuManager) and it may also be the case that
we will need to call this function prior to `CpuManager::new` during
live migrations.
We thus add a method for enabling the AMX tile state components on the
hypervisor trait that may be called wherever necessary. We argue that
this is beneficial for code clarity independently of the upcoming CPU
templates/profiles PR that we are working on.
The astute reader will notice that the logic introduced here is not 100%
the same as what is done inside the vmm::cpu::Cpumanager::new method. We
claim that our approach is more in-line with the official documentation.

During the lifecycle of a confidential VM, the guest may revoke

# Advantages
- This saves dozens of unneeded clone()s across the whole code base
- Makes it much easier to reason about how parameters are used
(often we passed owned Arc/Rc versions without actually needing
ownership)
# Exceptions
For certain code paths, the alternatives would require awkward or overly
complex code, and in some cases the functions are the logical owners of
the values they take. In those cases, I've added
#[allow(clippy::needless_pass_by_value)].
This does not mean that one should not improve this in the future.

To ensure that struct sizes are the same on 32-bit and 64-bit, various
kernel APIs use __u64 (Rust u64) to represent userspace pointers.
Userspace is expected to cast pointers to __u64 before passing them to
the kernel, and cast kernel-provided __u64 to a pointer before using
them. However, various safe APIs in Cloud Hypervisor took
caller-provided u64 values and passed them to syscalls that interpret
them as userspace addresses. Therefore, passing bad u64 values would
cause memory disclosure or corruption.
Fix the bug by using usize and pointer types as appropriate. To make
soundness of the code easier to reason about, the PCI code gains a new
MmapRegion abstraction that ensures the validity of pointers. The rest
of the code already has an MmapRegion abstraction it can use. To avoid
having to reason about whether something is keeping the MmapRegion
alive, reference counting is added. MmapRegion cannot hold references
to other objects, so the reference counting cannot introduce cycles.
