Some machines do not accept 16EB as guest storage limit. Lets change the
default for the guest storage limit to a sane value. We also should set
the guest_origin to what userspace thinks it is. This allows guests
starting at an address != 0.

This patch #ifdefs the bitmap array for dirty tracking. We don't have dirty
tracking on s390 today, and we'd love to use our storage keys to store the
dirty information for migration. Therefore, we won't need this array at all,
and due to our limited amount of vmalloc space this limits the amount of guests
we can run.

Older linux guests (in this case, 2.6.9) can attempt to
access the performance counter MSRs without a fixup section, and injecting
a GPF kills the guest. Work around by allowing the guest to write those MSRs.
Tested by me on RHEL-4 i386 and x86_64 guests, as well as F-9 guests.

Currently kvmtrace is not portable. This will prevent from copying a
trace file from big-endian target to little-endian workstation for analysis.
In the patch, kernel outputs metadata containing a magic number to trace
log, and changes 64-bit words to be u64 instead of a pair of u32s.

Only abort guest entry if the timer count went from 0->1, since for 1->2
or larger the bit will either be set already or a timer irq will have
been injected.
Using atomic_inc_and_test() for it also introduces an SMP barrier
to the LAPIC version (thought it was unecessary because of timer
migration, but guest can be scheduled to a different pCPU between exit
and kvm_vcpu_block(), so there is the possibility for a race).
Noticed by Avi.

This patch adds all needed structures to coalesce MMIOs.
Until an architecture uses it, it is not compiled.
Coalesced MMIO introduces two ioctl() to define where are the MMIO zones that
can be coalesced:
- KVM_REGISTER_COALESCED_MMIO registers a coalesced MMIO zone.
It requests one parameter (struct kvm_coalesced_mmio_zone) which defines
a memory area where MMIOs can be coalesced until the next switch to
user space. The maximum number of MMIO zones is KVM_COALESCED_MMIO_ZONE_MAX.
- KVM_UNREGISTER_COALESCED_MMIO cancels all registered zones inside
the given bounds (bounds are also given by struct kvm_coalesced_mmio_zone).
The userspace client can check kernel coalesced MMIO availability by asking
ioctl(KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION) for the KVM_CAP_COALESCED_MMIO capability.
The ioctl() call to KVM_CAP_COALESCED_MMIO will return 0 if not supported,
or the page offset where will be stored the ring buffer.
The page offset depends on the architecture.
After an ioctl(KVM_RUN), the first page of the KVM memory mapped points to
a kvm_run structure. The offset given by KVM_CAP_COALESCED_MMIO is
an offset to the coalesced MMIO ring expressed in PAGE_SIZE relatively
to the address of the start of th kvm_run structure. The MMIO ring buffer
is defined by the structure kvm_coalesced_mmio_ring.

Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

VMX hardware can cache the contents of a vcpu's vmcs. This cache needs
to be flushed when migrating a vcpu to another cpu, or (which is the case
that interests us here) when disabling hardware virtualization on a cpu.
The current implementation of decaching iterates over the list of all vcpus,
picks the ones that are potentially cached on the cpu that is being offlined,
and flushes the cache. The problem is that it uses mutex_trylock() to gain
exclusive access to the vcpu, which fires off a (benign) warning about using
the mutex in an interrupt context.
To avoid this, and to make things generally nicer, add a new per-cpu list
of potentially cached vcus. This makes the decaching code much simpler. The
list is vmx-specific since other hardware doesn't have this issue.

KVM turns off hardware virtualization extensions during reboot, in order
to disassociate the memory used by the virtualization extensions from the
processor, and in order to have the system in a consistent state.
Unfortunately virtual machines may still be running while this goes on,
and once virtualization extensions are turned off, any virtulization
instruction will #UD on execution.
Fix by adding an exception handler to virtualization instructions; if we get
an exception during reboot, we simply spin waiting for the reset to complete.
If it's a true exception, BUG() so we can have our stack trace.

The KVM MMU tries to detect when a speculative pte update is not actually
used by demand fault, by checking the accessed bit of the shadow pte. If
the shadow pte has not been accessed, we deem that page table flooded and
remove the shadow page table, allowing further pte updates to proceed
without emulation.
However, if the pte itself points at a page table and only used for write
operations, the accessed bit will never be set since all access will happen
through the emulator.
This is exactly what happens with kscand on old (2.4.x) HIGHMEM kernels.
The kernel points a kmap_atomic() pte at a page table, and then
proceeds with read-modify-write operations to look at the dirty and accessed
bits. We get a false flood trigger on the kmap ptes, which results in the
mmu spending all its time setting up and tearing down shadows.
Fix by setting the shadow accessed bit on emulated accesses.

Attached is a patch that fixes a guest crash when booting older Linux kernels.
The problem stems from the fact that we are currently emulating
MSR_K7_EVNTSEL[0-3], but not emulating MSR_K7_PERFCTR[0-3]. Because of this,
setup_k7_watchdog() in the Linux kernel receives a GPF when it attempts to
write into MSR_K7_PERFCTR, which causes an OOPs.
The patch fixes it by just "fake" emulating the appropriate MSRs, throwing
away the data in the process. This causes the NMI watchdog to not actually
work, but it's not such a big deal in a virtualized environment.
When we get a write to one of these counters, we printk_ratelimit() a warning.
I decided to print it out for all writes, even if the data is 0; it doesn't
seem to make sense to me to special case when data == 0.
Tested by myself on a RHEL-4 guest, and Joerg Roedel on a Windows XP 64-bit
guest.

The in-kernel PIT emulation ignores pending timers if operating
under mode 3, which for example Hurd uses.
This mode should output a square wave, high for (N+1)/2 counts and low
for (N-1)/2 counts. As we only care about the resulting interrupts, the
period is N, and mode 3 is the same as mode 2 with regard to
interrupts.
