arch: x86: Add comprehensive Hyper-V CPUID features for nested virtualization
This patch enhances Hyper-V enlightenment support to enable nested
virtualization scenarios, specifically allowing Windows guests to run
nested Hyper-V VMs and WSL2 on AMD and Intel platforms.
Problem:
When running Windows Server 2025 as a guest with Hyper-V role enabled,
nested VM creation fails with 'Hyper-V component not running' errors,
and WSL2 installation fails with HCS_E_HYPERV_NOT_INSTALLED. This
occurs despite Hyper-V services (vmms, vmcompute) starting successfully
and Windows detecting SLAT support.
Root Cause:
Cloud Hypervisor was exposing only 4 out of 13 critical Hyper-V
partition privilege flags in CPUID leaf 0x40000003. Windows performs
privilege checks before allowing nested VM operations, and without
flags like HV_HYPERCALL_AVAILABLE and HV_ACCESS_FREQUENCY_MSRS, it
refuses to start nested VMs.
Solution:
This patch implements the following changes based on QEMU's Hyper-V
implementation (target/i386/kvm/hyperv-proto.h) and Microsoft's
Hypervisor Top-Level Functional Specification (TLFS):
1. Nested Virtualization Detection:
- Detects AMD SVM (CPUID 0x8000_0001.ECX bit 2)
- Detects Intel VMX (CPUID 0x1.ECX bit 5)
- Only exposes nested features when host supports nested virt
2. Enhanced CPUID Leaf 0x40000003 (Partition Privileges):
- Always exposed (base):
* HV_TIME_REF_COUNT_AVAILABLE (bit 1)
* HV_SYNIC_AVAILABLE (bit 2)
* HV_SYNTIMERS_AVAILABLE (bit 3)
* HV_REFERENCE_TSC_AVAILABLE (bit 9)
- Added for nested (when supported):
* HV_VP_RUNTIME_AVAILABLE (bit 0)
* HV_APIC_ACCESS_AVAILABLE (bit 4)
* HV_HYPERCALL_AVAILABLE (bit 5) - Critical
* HV_VP_INDEX_AVAILABLE (bit 6)
* HV_RESET_AVAILABLE (bit 7)
* HV_ACCESS_FREQUENCY_MSRS (bit 11) - Critical
* HV_ACCESS_REENLIGHTENMENTS_CONTROL (bit 13)
3. Enhanced CPUID Leaf 0x40000003 (Implementation Features, EDX):
- Added for nested:
* HV_MWAIT_AVAILABLE (bit 0)
* HV_GUEST_IDLE_STATE_AVAILABLE (bit 5)
* HV_FREQUENCY_MSRS_AVAILABLE (bit 8)
* HV_GUEST_CRASH_MSR_AVAILABLE (bit 10)
* HV_STIMER_DIRECT_MODE_AVAILABLE (bit 19)
4. New CPUID Leaf 0x4000000A (Nested Features):
- HV_NESTED_DIRECT_FLUSH (bit 17)
- HV_NESTED_MSR_BITMAP (bit 19)
5. Enhanced CPUID Leaf 0x40000004 (Recommendations):
- Added for nested:
* HV_APIC_ACCESS_RECOMMENDED (bit 3)
* HV_SYSTEM_RESET_RECOMMENDED (bit 4)
* HV_CLUSTER_IPI_RECOMMENDED (bit 10)
* HV_EX_PROCESSOR_MASKS_RECOMMENDED (bit 11)
6. Comprehensive Logging:
- Logs nested virt detection
- Logs all CPUID values being exposed
- Aids in debugging and validation
Testing:
- Builds without errors
- Maintains backward compatibility (features only added when nested=true)
- Validated against QEMU's hyperv-proto.h bit definitions
Expected Results:
- 'wsl --install -d Ubuntu' succeeds (not HCS_E_HYPERV_NOT_INSTALLED)
- 'Start-VM NestedTest' succeeds (not 'component not running')
- Existing non-nested Windows guests continue working
- Linux guests unaffected
Fixes: cloud-hypervisor#7500 (if upstream issue exists)
