This changes cpus_hardware_enabled from a cpumask_t to a cpumask_var_t:

We're getting rid on on-stack cpumasks for large NR_CPUS.
1) Use cpumask_var_t/alloc_cpumask_var.
2) smp_call_function_mask -> smp_call_function_many
3) cpus_clear, cpus_empty, cpu_set -> cpumask_clear, cpumask_empty,
cpumask_set_cpu.
This actually generates slightly smaller code than the old one with
CONFIG_CPUMASKS_OFFSTACK=n. (gcc knows that cpus cannot be NULL in
that case, where cpumask_var_t is cpumask_t[1]).

There is a race between a "close of the file descriptors" and module
unload in the kvm module.
You can easily trigger this problem by applying this debug patch:
>--- kvm.orig/virt/kvm/kvm_main.c
>+++ kvm/virt/kvm/kvm_main.c
>@@ -648,10 +648,14 @@ void kvm_free_physmem(struct kvm *kvm)

>+ msleep(5000);
>+ printk("off2\n");
> spin_lock(&kvm_lock);
> list_del(&kvm->vm_list);
> spin_unlock(&kvm_lock);
and killing the userspace, followed by an rmmod.
The problem is that kvm_destroy_vm can run while the module count
is 0. That means, you can remove the module while kvm_destroy_vm
is running. But kvm_destroy_vm is part of the module text. This
causes a kerneloops. The race exists without the msleep but is much
harder to trigger.
This patch requires the fix for anon_inodes (anon_inodes: use fops->owner
for module refcount).
With this patch, we can set the owner of all anonymous KVM inodes file
operations. The VFS will then control the KVM module refcount as long as there
is an open file. kvm_destroy_vm will be called by the release function of the
last closed file - before the VFS drops the module refcount.

There is an imbalance for anonymous inodes. If the fops->owner field is set,
the module reference count of owner is decreases on release.
("filp_close" --> "__fput" ---> "fops_put")
On the other hand, anon_inode_getfd does not increase the module reference
count of owner. This causes two problems:
- if owner is set, the module refcount goes negative
- if owner is not set, the module can be unloaded while code is running
This patch changes anon_inode_getfd to be symmetric regarding fops->owner
handling.
I have checked all existing users of anon_inode_getfd. Noone sets fops->owner,
thats why nobody has seen the module refcount negative. The refcounting was
tested with a patched and unpatched KVM module.(see patch 2/2) I also did an
epoll_open/close test.

Right now, KVM does not remove a slot when we do a
register ioctl for size 0 (would be the expected behaviour).
Instead, we only mark it as empty, but keep all bitmaps
and allocated data structures present. It completely
nullifies our chances of reusing that same slot again
for mapping a different piece of memory.
In this patch, we destroy rmaps, and vfree() the
pointers that used to hold the dirty bitmap, rmap
and lpage_info structures.

Existing KVM statistics are either just counters (kvm_stat) reported for
KVM generally or trace based aproaches like kvm_trace.
For KVM on powerpc we had the need to track the timings of the different exit
types. While this could be achieved parsing data created with a kvm_trace
extension this adds too much overhead (at least on embedded PowerPC) slowing
down the workloads we wanted to measure.
Therefore this patch adds a in-kernel exit timing statistic to the powerpc kvm
code. These statistic is available per vm&vcpu under the kvm debugfs directory.
As this statistic is low, but still some overhead it can be enabled via a
.config entry and should be off by default.
Since this patch touched all powerpc kvm_stat code anyway this code is now
merged and simplified together with the exit timing statistic code (still
working with exit timing disabled in .config).

Store shadow TLB entries in memory, but only use it on host context switch
(instead of every guest entry). This improves performance for most workloads on
440 by reducing the guest TLB miss rate.

Formerly, we used to maintain a per-vcpu shadow TLB and on every entry to the
guest would load this array into the hardware TLB. This consumed 1280 bytes of
memory (64 entries of 16 bytes plus a struct page pointer each), and also
required some assembly to loop over the array on every entry.
Instead of saving a copy in memory, we can just store shadow mappings directly
into the hardware TLB, accepting that the host kernel will clobber these as
part of the normal 440 TLB round robin. When we do that we need less than half
the memory, and we have decreased the exit handling time for all guest exits,
at the cost of increased number of TLB misses because the host overwrites some
guest entries.
These savings will be increased on processors with larger TLBs or which
implement intelligent flush instructions like tlbivax (which will avoid the
need to walk arrays in software).
In addition to that and to the code simplification, we have a greater chance of
leaving other host userspace mappings in the TLB, instead of forcing all
subsequent tasks to re-fault all their mappings.

KVM currently ignores the host's round robin TLB eviction selection, instead
maintaining its own TLB state and its own round robin index. However, by
participating in the normal 44x TLB selection, we can drop the alternate TLB
processing in KVM. This results in a significant performance improvement,
since that processing currently must be done on *every* guest exit.
Accordingly, KVM needs to be able to access and increment tlb_44x_index.
(KVM on 440 cannot be a module, so there is no need to export this symbol.)

KVM on 440 has always been able to handle large guest mappings with 4K host
pages -- we must, since the guest kernel uses 256MB mappings.

We never pass a NULL notifier pointer here, but we may well
pass a notifier struct which hasn't previously been
registered.
Guard against this by using hlist_del_init() which will
not do anything if the node hasn't been added to the list
and, when removing the node, will ensure that a subsequent
call to hlist_del_init() will be fine too.

The write protect verification in set_spte is unnecessary for page sync.
Its guaranteed that, if the unsync spte was writable, the target page
does not have a write protected shadow (if it had, the spte would have
been write protected under mmu_lock by rmap_write_protect before).
Same reasoning applies to mark_page_dirty: the gfn has been marked as
dirty via the pagefault path.
The cost of hash table and memslot lookups are quite significant if the
workload is pagetable write intensive resulting in increased mmu_lock
contention.

Now we use MSI as default one, and translate MSI to INTx when guest need
INTx rather than MSI. For legacy device, we provide support for non-sharing
host IRQ.
Provide a parameter msi2intx for this method. The value is true by default in
x86 architecture.
We can't guarantee this mode can work on every device, but for most of us
tested, it works. If your device encounter some trouble with this mode, you can
try set msi2intx modules parameter to 0. If the device is OK with msi2intx=0,
then please report it to KVM mailing list or me. We may prepare a blacklist for
the device that can't work in this mode.
