This patch series includes KVM enabling patches for Linear-address masking
(LAM) v11 and Linear Address Space Separation (LASS) v3 since the two features
have overlapping prep work and concepts. Sent as a single series to reduce the
probability of conflicts.

The patch series is organized as follows:
- Patch 1-4: Common prep work for both LAM and LASS.
- Patch 5-13: LAM part.
- Patch 14-16: LASS part.

Dependency:
- LAM has no other dependency.
- LASS patches depends on LASS kernel enabling patches, which are not merged yet.

==== LAM v11 ====

Linear-address masking (LAM) [1], modifies the checking that is applied to
*64-bit* linear addresses, allowing software to use of the untranslated
address bits for metadata and masks the metadata bits before using them as
linear addresses to access memory.

When the feature is virtualized and exposed to guest, it can be used for
efficient address sanitizers (ASAN) implementation and for optimizations in
JITs and virtual machines.

The patch series brings LAM virtualization support in KVM.

Please review and consider applying.

LAM QEMU patch:

LAM kvm-unit-tests patch:
https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20230530024356.24870-1-binbin.wu@linux.intel.com/

--- Test ---
1. Add test cases in kvm-unit-test for LAM [2], including LAM_SUP and LAM_{U57,U48}.
   For supervisor pointers, the test covers CR4 LAM_SUP bits toggle, Memory/MMIO
   access with tagged pointer, and some special instructions (INVLPG, INVPCID,
   INVVPID), INVVPID cases also used to cover VMX instruction VMExit path.
   For user pointers, the test covers CR3 LAM bits toggle, Memory/MMIO access with
   tagged pointer.
   MMIO cases are used to trigger instruction emulation path.
   Run the unit test with both LAM feature on/off (i.e. including negative cases).
   Run the unit test in L1 guest with both LAM feature on/off.
2. Run Kernel LAM kselftests in guest, with both EPT=Y/N.
3. Launch a nested guest and run tests listed in 1 & 2.

All tests have passed on real machine supporting LAM.

Changelog

v11:
- A separate patch to drop non-PA bits when getting GFN for guest's PGD [Sean]
- Add a patch to remove kvm_vcpu_is_illegal_gpa() [Isaku]
- Squash CR4 LAM bit handling with the address untag for supervisor pointers. [Sean]
- Squash CR3 LAM bits handling with the address untag for user pointers. [Sean]
- Adopt KVM-governed feature framework to track "LAM enabled" as a separate
  optimization patch, and add the reason in patch change log. [Sean, Kai]
- Some comment modifications/additions according to reviews [Sean] 

v10:

==== LASS v3 ====

Linear Address Space Separation (LASS)[1] is a new mechanism that
enforces the same mode-based protections as paging, i.e. SMAP/SMEP
but without traversing the paging structures. Because the protections
enforced by LASS are applied before paging, "probes" by malicious
software will provide no paging-based timing information.

This patch series provide a LASS KVM solution and depends on kernel
enabling that can be found at [2].

--- Test ---
1. Test the basic function of LASS virtualization including LASS
enumeration and enabling in guest and nested environment.
2. Run selftest with following cases:
  - data access to user address space in supervisor mode
  - data access to supervisor address space in user mode
  - data access to linear address across space boundary
  - Using KVM FEP mechanism to run test cases above
  - VMX instruction execution with VMCS structure in user
    address space
  - instruction fetch from user address space in supervisor mode
  - instruction fetch from supervisor address space in user mode

All tests have passed on real machine supporting LASS.
