x86/apic: Force native_apic_mem_read() to use the MOV instruction
When done from a virtual machine, instructions that touch APIC memory
must be emulated. By convention, MMIO accesses are typically performed
via io.h helpers such as readl() or writeq() to simplify instruction
emulation/decoding (ex: in KVM hosts and SEV guests) [0].
Currently, native_apic_mem_read() does not follow this convention,
allowing the compiler to emit instructions other than the MOV
instruction generated by readl(). In particular, when the kernel is
compiled with clang and run as a SEV-ES or SEV-SNP guest, the compiler
would emit a TESTL instruction which is not supported by the SEV-ES
emulator, causing a boot failure in that environment. It is likely the
same problem would happen in a TDX guest as that uses the same
instruction emulator as SEV-ES.
To make sure all emulators can emulate APIC memory reads via MOV, use
the readl() function in native_apic_mem_read(). It is expected that any
emulator would support MOV in any addressing mode as it is the most
generic and is what is usually emitted currently.
The TESTL instruction is emitted when native_apic_mem_read() is inlined
into apic_mem_wait_icr_idle(). The emulator comes from
insn_decode_mmio() in arch/x86/lib/insn-eval.c. It's not worth it to
extend insn_decode_mmio() to support more instructions since, in theory,
the compiler could choose to output nearly any instruction for such
reads which would bloat the emulator beyond reason.
