KVM: x86: SVM: fix nested PAUSE filtering when L0 intercepts PAUSE
Commit 74fd41ed16fd ("KVM: x86: nSVM: support PAUSE filtering when L0
doesn't intercept PAUSE") introduced passthrough support for nested pause
filtering, (when the host doesn't intercept PAUSE) (either disabled with
kvm module param, or disabled with '-overcommit cpu-pm=on')
Before this commit, L1 KVM didn't intercept PAUSE at all; afterwards,
the feature was exposed as supported by KVM cpuid unconditionally, thus
if L1 could try to use it even when the L0 KVM can't really support it.
In this case the fallback caused KVM to intercept each PAUSE instruction;
in some cases, such intercept can slow down the nested guest so much
that it can fail to boot. Instead, before the problematic commit KVM
was already setting both thresholds to 0 in vmcb02, but after the first
userspace VM exit shrink_ple_window was called and would reset the
pause_filter_count to the default value.
To fix this, change the fallback strategy - ignore the guest threshold
values, but use/update the host threshold values unless the guest
specifically requests disabling PAUSE filtering (either simple or
advanced).
Also fix a minor bug: on nested VM exit, when PAUSE filter counter
were copied back to vmcb01, a dirty bit was not set.
Thanks a lot to Suravee Suthikulpanit for debugging this!
