Remove KVM's support for virtualizing guest MTRR memtypes, as full MTRR
adds no value, negatively impacts guest performance, and is a maintenance
burden due to it's complexity and oddities.
KVM's approach to virtualizating MTRRs make no sense, at all. KVM *only*
honors guest MTRR memtypes if EPT is enabled *and* the guest has a device
that may perform non-coherent DMA access. From a hardware virtualization
perspective of guest MTRRs, there is _nothing_ special about EPT. Legacy
shadowing paging doesn't magically account for guest MTRRs, nor does NPT.
Unwinding and deciphering KVM's murky history, the MTRR virtualization
code appears to be the result of misdiagnosed issues when EPT + VT-d with
passthrough devices was enabled years and years ago. And importantly, the
underlying bugs that were fudged around by honoring guest MTRR memtypes
have since been fixed (though rather poorly in some cases).
The zapping GFNs logic in the MTRR virtualization code came from:

KVM: MMU: fix MTRR update
Currently, whenever guest MTRR registers are changed
kvm_mmu_reset_context is called to switch to the new root shadow page
table, however, it's useless since:
1) the cache type is not cached into shadow page's attribute so that
the original root shadow page will be reused
2) the cache type is set on the last spte, that means we should sync
the last sptes when MTRR is changed
This patch fixs this issue by drop all the spte in the gfn range which
is being updated by MTRR

KVM: VMX: Set IGMT bit in EPT entry
There is a potential issue that, when guest using pagetable without vmexit when
EPT enabled, guest would use PAT/PCD/PWT bits to index PAT msr for it's memory,
which would be inconsistent with host side and would cause host MCE due to
inconsistent cache attribute.
The patch set IGMT bit in EPT entry to ignore guest PAT and use WB as default
memory type to protect host (notice that all memory mapped by KVM should be WB).
Note the CommitDates! The AuthorDates strongly suggests Sheng Yang added
the whole "ignoreIGMT things as a bug fix for issues that were detected
during EPT + VT-d + passthrough enabling, but it was applied earlier
because it was a generic fix.
Jumping back to 0bed3b568b68 ("KVM: Improve MTRR structure"), the other
relevant code, or rather lack thereof, is the handling of *host* MMIO.
That fix came in a bit later, but given the author and timing, it's safe
to say it was all part of the same EPT+VT-d enabling mess.

KVM: MMU: Map device MMIO as UC in EPT
Software are not allow to access device MMIO using cacheable memory type, the
patch limit MMIO region with UC and WC(guest can select WC using PAT and
PCD/PWT).
In addition to the host MMIO and IGMT issues, KVM's MTRR virtualization
was obviously never tested on NPT until much later, which lends further
credence to the theory/argument that this was all the result of
misdiagnosed issues.
Discussion from the EPT+MTRR enabling thread[*] more or less confirms that
Sheng Yang was trying to resolve issues with passthrough MMIO.

So, for the most part, what likely happened is that 15 years ago, a few
engineers (a) fixed a #MC problem by ignoring guest PAT and (b) initially
"fixed" passthrough device MMIO by emulating *guest* MTRRs. Except for
the below case, everything since then has been a result of those two
intertwined changes.
The one exception, which is actually yet more confirmation of all of the
above, is the revert of Paolo's attempt at "full" virtualization of guest
MTRRs:

KVM: x86: apply guest MTRR virtualization on host reserved pages
Currently guest MTRR is avoided if kvm_is_reserved_pfn returns true.
However, the guest could prefer a different page type than UC for
such pages. A good example is that pass-throughed VGA frame buffer is
not always UC as host expected.
This patch enables full use of virtual guest MTRRs.
I.e. Paolo tried to add back KVM's behavior before "Map device MMIO as UC
in EPT" and got the same result: machine checks, likely due to the guest
MTRRs not being trustworthy/sane at all times.
Note, Paolo also tried to enable MTRR virtualization on SVM+NPT, but that
too got reverted. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that anyone ever found
a smoking gun, i.e. exactly why emulating guest MTRRs via NPT PAT caused
extremely slow boot times doesn't appear to have a definitive root cause.

KVM: SVM: use NPT page attributes
Right now, NPT page attributes are not used, and the final page
attribute depends solely on gPAT (which however is not synced
correctly), the guest MTRRs and the guest page attributes.
However, we can do better by mimicking what is done for VMX.
In the absence of PCI passthrough, the guest PAT can be ignored
and the page attributes can be just WB. If passthrough is being
used, instead, keep respecting the guest PAT, and emulate the guest
MTRRs through the PAT field of the nested page tables.
The only snag is that WP memory cannot be emulated correctly,
because Linux's default PAT setting only includes the other types.
In short, honoring guest MTRRs for VMX was initially a workaround of
sorts for KVM ignoring guest PAT *and* for KVM not forcing UC for host
MMIO. And while there *are* known cases where honoring guest MTRRs is
desirable, e.g. passthrough VGA frame buffers, the desired behavior in
that case is to get WC instead of UC, i.e. at this point it's for
performance, not correctness.
Furthermore, the complete absence of MTRR virtualization on NPT and
shadow paging proves that, while KVM theoretically can do better, it's
by no means necessary for correctnesss.
Lastly, since kernels mostly rely on firmware to do MTRR setup, and the
host typically provides guest firmware, honoring guest MTRRs is effectively
honoring *host* userspace memtypes, which is also backwards. I.e. it
would be far better for host userspace to communicate its desired memtype
directly to KVM (or perhaps indirectly via VMAs in the host kernel), not
through guest MTRRs.

Drop handling of MSR_IA32_CR_PAT from mtrr.c now that SVM and VMX handle
writes without bouncing through kvm_set_msr_common(). PAT isn't truly an
MTRR even though it affects memory types, and more importantly KVM enables
hardware virtualization of guest PAT (by NOT setting "ignore guest PAT")
when a guest has non-coherent DMA, i.e. KVM doesn't need to zap SPTEs when
the guest PAT changes.
The read path is and always has been trivial, i.e. burying it in the MTRR
code does more harm than good.
WARN and continue for the PAT case in kvm_set_msr_common(), as that code
is _currently_ reached if and only if KVM is buggy. Defer cleaning up the
lack of symmetry between the read and write paths to a future patch.

Use the MTRR macros to identify the ranges of possible MTRR MSRs instead
of bounding the ranges with a mismash of open coded values and unrelated
MSR indices. Carving out the gap for the machine check MSRs in particular
is confusing, as it's easy to incorrectly think the case statement handles
MCE MSRs instead of skipping them.
Drop the range-based funneling of MSRs between the end of the MCE MSRs
and MTRR_DEF_TYPE, i.e. 0x2A0-0x2FF, and instead handle MTTR_DEF_TYPE as
the one-off case that it is.
Extract PAT (0x277) as well in anticipation of dropping PAT "handling"
from the MTRR code.
Keep the range-based handling for the variable+fixed MTRRs even though
capturing unknown MSRs 0x214-0x24F is arguably "wrong". There is a gap in
the fixed MTRRs, 0x260-0x267, i.e. the MTRR code needs to filter out
unknown MSRs anyways, and using a single range generates marginally better
code for the big switch statement.

Define pr_fmt using KBUILD_MODNAME for all KVM x86 code so that printks
use consistent formatting across common x86, Intel, and AMD code. In
addition to providing consistent print formatting, using KBUILD_MODNAME,
e.g. kvm_amd and kvm_intel, allows referencing SVM and VMX (and SEV and
SGX and ...) as technologies without generating weird messages, and
without causing naming conflicts with other kernel code, e.g. "SEV: ",
"tdx: ", "sgx: " etc.. are all used by the kernel for non-KVM subsystems.
Opportunistically move away from printk() for prints that need to be
modified anyways, e.g. to drop a manual "kvm: " prefix.
Opportunistically convert a few SGX WARNs that are similarly modified to
WARN_ONCE; in the very unlikely event that the WARNs fire, odds are good
that they would fire repeatedly and spam the kernel log without providing
unique information in each print.
Note, defining pr_fmt yields undesirable results for code that uses KVM's
printk wrappers, e.g. vcpu_unimpl(). But, that's a pre-existing problem
as SVM/kvm_amd already defines a pr_fmt, and thankfully use of KVM's
wrappers is relatively limited in KVM x86 code.

MSR 0x2f8 accessed the 124th Variable Range MTRR ever since MTRR support

0x2f8 became harmful when 910a6aae4e2e ("KVM: MTRR: exactly define the
size of variable MTRRs") shrinked the array of VR MTRRs from 256 to 8,
which made access to index 124 out of bounds. The surrounding code only
WARNs in this situation, thus the guest gained a limited read/write
access to struct kvm_arch_vcpu.
0x2f8 is not a valid VR MTRR MSR, because KVM has/advertises only 16 VR
MTRR MSRs, 0x200-0x20f. Every VR MTRR is set up using two MSRs, 0x2f8
was treated as a PHYSBASE and 0x2f9 would be its PHYSMASK, but 0x2f9 was
not implemented in KVM, therefore 0x2f8 could never do anything useful
and getting rid of it is safe.
