bc23008b61 KVM: VMX: Fold ept_update_paging_mode_cr4() into its caller
ept_update_paging_mode_cr4() accesses vcpu->arch.cr4 directly, which usually
needs to be accessed via kvm_read_cr4().  In this case, we can't, since cr4
is in the process of being updated.  Instead of adding inane comments, fold
the function into its caller (vmx_set_cr4), so it can use the not-yet-committed
cr4 directly.

fc78f51938 KVM: Add accessor for reading cr4 (or some bits of cr4)
Some bits of cr4 can be owned by the guest on vmx, so when we read them,
we copy them to the vcpu structure.  In preparation for making the set of
guest-owned bits dynamic, use helpers to access these bits so we don't need
to know where the bit resides.

No changes to svm since all bits are host-owned there.

a5d36f82c4 KVM: Fix race between APIC TMR and IRR
When we queue an interrupt to the local apic, we set the IRR before the TMR.
The vcpu can pick up the IRR and inject the interrupt before setting the TMR,
and perhaps even EOI it, causing incorrect behaviour.

The race is really insignificant since it can only occur on the first
interrupt (usually following interrupts will not change TMR), but it's better
closed than open.

Fixed by reordering setting the TMR vs IRR.

fb341f572d KVM: MMU: remove prefault from invlpg handler
The invlpg prefault optimization breaks Windows 2008 R2 occasionally.

The visible effect is that the invlpg handler instantiates a pte which
is, microseconds later, written with a different gfn by another vcpu.

The OS could have other mechanisms to prevent a present translation from
being used, which the hypervisor is unaware of.

While the documentation states that the cpu is at liberty to prefetch tlb
entries, it looks like this is not heeded, so remove tlb prefetch from
invlpg.

d5696725b2 KVM: VMX: Fix comparison of guest efer with stale host value
update_transition_efer() masks out some efer bits when deciding whether
to switch the msr during guest entry; for example, NX is emulated using the
mmu so we don't need to disable it, and LMA/LME are handled by the hardware.

However, with shared msrs, the comparison is made against a stale value;
at the time of the guest switch we may be running with another guest's efer.

Fix by deferring the mask/compare to the actual point of guest entry.

18863bdd60 KVM: x86 shared msr infrastructure
The various syscall-related MSRs are fairly expensive to switch.  Currently
we switch them on every vcpu preemption, which is far too often:

- if we're switching to a kernel thread (idle task, threaded interrupt,
  kernel-mode virtio server (vhost-net), for example) and back, then
  there's no need to switch those MSRs since kernel threasd won't
  be exiting to userspace.

- if we're switching to another guest running an identical OS, most likely
  those MSRs will have the same value, so there's little point in reloading
  them.

- if we're running the same OS on the guest and host, the MSRs will have
  identical values and reloading is unnecessary.

This patch uses the new user return notifiers to implement last-minute
switching, and checks the msr values to avoid unnecessary reloading.

18fa000ae4 KVM: SVM: Reset cr0 properly on vcpu reset
svm_vcpu_reset() was not properly resetting the contents of the guest-visible
cr0 register, causing the following issue:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=525699

Without resetting cr0 properly, the vcpu was running the SIPI bootstrap routine
with paging enabled, making the vcpu get a pagefault exception while trying to
run it.

Instead of setting vmcb->save.cr0 directly, the new code just resets
kvm->arch.cr0 and calls kvm_set_cr0(). The bits that were set/cleared on
vmcb->save.cr0 (PG, WP, !CD, !NW) will be set properly by svm_set_cr0().

kvm_set_cr0() is used instead of calling svm_set_cr0() directly to make sure
kvm_mmu_reset_context() is called to reset the mmu to nonpaging mode.

afbcf7ab8d KVM: allow userspace to adjust kvmclock offset
When we migrate a kvm guest that uses pvclock between two hosts, we may
suffer a large skew. This is because there can be significant differences
between the monotonic clock of the hosts involved. When a new host with
a much larger monotonic time starts running the guest, the view of time
will be significantly impacted.

Situation is much worse when we do the opposite, and migrate to a host with
a smaller monotonic clock.

This proposed ioctl will allow userspace to inform us what is the monotonic
clock value in the source host, so we can keep the time skew short, and
more importantly, never goes backwards. Userspace may also need to trigger
the current data, since from the first migration onwards, it won't be
reflected by a simple call to clock_gettime() anymore.

Support for Xen PV-on-HVM guests can be implemented almost entirely in
userspace, except for handling one annoying MSR that maps a Xen
hypercall blob into guest address space.

A generic mechanism to delegate MSR writes to userspace seems overkill
and risks encouraging similar MSR abuse in the future.  Thus this patch
adds special support for the Xen HVM MSR.

I implemented a new ioctl, KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG, that lets userspace tell
KVM which MSR the guest will write to, as well as the starting address
and size of the hypercall blobs (one each for 32-bit and 64-bit) that
userspace has loaded from files.  When the guest writes to the MSR, KVM
copies one page of the blob from userspace to the guest.

I've tested this patch with a hacked-up version of Gerd's userspace
code, booting a number of guests (CentOS 5.3 i386 and x86_64, and
FreeBSD 8.0-RC1 amd64) and exercising PV network and block devices.

This (broken) check dates back to the days when this code was shared
across architectures. x86 has IOMEM, so drop it.

If cpufreq can't determine the CPU khz, or cpufreq is not compiled in,
we should fallback to the measured TSC khz.
