'invd' can destroy host data, and 'wbinvd' allows the guest to induce
long (milliseconds) latencies.

If we stgi() too soon, nmis can reach the processor even though interrupts
are disabled, catching it in a half-switched state. Delay the stgi() until
we're done switching.

invlpg shouldn't fetch the "src" address, since it may not be valid,
however SVM's "solution" which neuters emulation of all group 7
instruction is horrible and breaks kvm-lite. The simplest fix is to
put a special check in for invlpg.

APIC timer IRQ is set every time when a certain period
expires at host time, but the guest may be descheduled
at that time and thus the irq be overwritten by later fire.
This patch keep track of firing irq numbers and decrease
only when the IRQ is injected to guest or buffered in
APIC.

Because lightweight exits (exits which don't involve userspace) are many
times faster than heavyweight exits, it makes sense to emulate high usage
devices in the kernel. The local APIC is one such device, especially for
Windows and for SMP, so we add an APIC model to kvm.
It also allows in-kernel host-side drivers to inject interrupts without
going through userspace.

We need to check for signals inside the critical section, otherwise a
signal can be sent which we will not notice. Also move the check
before entry, so that if the signal happens before the first entry,
we exit immediately instead of waiting for something to happen to the
guest.

Both vmx and svm decode the I/O instructions, and both botch the job,
requiring the instruction prefixes to be fetched in order to completely
decode the instruction.
So, if we see a string I/O instruction, use the x86 emulator to decode it,
as it already has all the prefix decoding machinery.
This patch defines ins/outs opcodes in x86_emulate.c and calls
emulate_instruction() from io_interception() (svm.c) and from handle_io()
(vmx.c). It removes all vmx/svm prefix instruction decoders
(get_addr_size(), io_get_override(), io_address(), get_io_count())

set_msr_interception() is used by svm to set up which MSRs should be
intercepted. It can only fail if someone has changed the code to try
to intercept an MSR without updating the array of ranges.
The return value is ignored anyway: it should just BUG() if it doesn't
work. (A build-time failure would be better, but that's tricky).

Current kvm disables preemption while the new virtualization registers are
in use. This of course is not very good for latency sensitive workloads (one
use of virtualization is to offload user interface and other latency
insensitive stuff to a container, so that it is easier to analyze the
remaining workload). This patch re-enables preemption for kvm; preemption
is now only disabled when switching the registers in and out, and during
the switch to guest mode and back.

When a vcpu causes a shadow tlb entry to have reduced permissions, it
must also clear the tlb on remote vcpus. We do that by:
- setting a bit on the vcpu that requests a tlb flush before the next entry
- if the vcpu is currently executing, we send an ipi to make sure it
exits before we continue

First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.
This patch
a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
getting them indirectly
Net result is:
a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
they don't need sched.h
b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

We only have to save/restore MSR_GS_BASE on every VMEXIT. The rest can be
saved/restored when we leave the VCPU. Since we don't emulate the DEBUGCTL
MSRs and the guest cannot write to them, we don't have to worry about
saving/restoring them at all.
This shaves a whopping 40% off raw vmexit costs on AMD.
