Rather than unconditionally reloading cr3, only do so if the pud we're
updating is within the active pgd.
This eliminates TLB flushes most of the time. The
performance-critical uses of pud_clear are during execve and exit, but
in those cases cr3 is referring to some other pagetable. The only
other use of pud_clear is during a large (1Gbyte+) munmap, and those
are sufficiently rare that a couple of cr3 reloads won't hurt.

The volatile keyword was removed from the clflush() prototype
in commit e34907ae180f4fe6c28bb4516c679c2f81b0c9ed; the comment there
states:
x86: remove volatile keyword from clflush.
the p parameter is an explicit memory reference, and is
enough to prevent gcc to being nasty here. The volatile
seems completely not needed.
This reflects incorrect understanding of the function of the volatile
keyword there. The purpose of the volatile keyword is informing gcc
that it is safe to pass a volatile pointer to this function.

Avoid section mismatch involving arch_register_cpu.
Marking arch_register_cpu as __init and removing the export
for non-hotplug-cpu configurations makes the following warning
go away:
Section mismatch in reference from the function
arch_register_cpu() to the function .devinit.text:register_cpu()
The function arch_register_cpu() references
the function __devinit register_cpu().
This is often because arch_register_cpu lacks a __devinit
annotation or the annotation of register_cpu is wrong.
The only external user of arch_register_cpu in the tree is
in drivers/acpi/processor_core.c where it is guarded by
ACPI_HOTPLUG_CPU (which depends on HOTPLUG_CPU).

The exception fixup for the futex macros __futex_atomic_op1/2 and
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() is missing an entry when the lock
prefix is replaced by a NOP via SMP alternatives.
Chuck Ebert tracked this down from the information provided in:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=429412
A possible solution would be to add another fixup after the
LOCK_PREFIX, so both the LOCK and NOP case have their own entry in the
exception table, but it's not really worth the trouble.
Simply replace LOCK_PREFIX with lock and keep those untouched by SMP
alternatives.

When executing a test program called "crashme", we found the KVM guest cannot
survive more than ten seconds, then encounterd kernel panic. The basic concept
of "crashme" is generating random assembly code and trying to execute it.
After some fixes on emulator insn validity judgment, we found it's hard to
get the current emulator handle the invalid instructions correctly, for the
#UD trap for hypercall patching caused troubles. The problem is, if the opcode
itself was OK, but combination of opcode and modrm_reg was invalid, and one
operand of the opcode was memory (SrcMem or DstMem), the emulator will fetch
the memory operand first rather than checking the validity, and may encounter
an error there. For example, ".byte 0xfe, 0x34, 0xcd" has this problem.
In the patch, we simply check that if the invalid opcode wasn't vmcall/vmmcall,
then return from emulate_instruction() and inject a #UD to guest. With the
patch, the guest had been running for more than 12 hours.

Since gfn_to_page() is a sleeping function, and we want to make the core mmu
spinlocked, we need to pass the page from the walker context (which can sleep)
to the shadow context (which cannot).

Add a facility to report on accesses to the local apic tpr even if the
local apic is emulated in the kernel. This is basically a hack that
allows userspace to patch Windows which tends to bang on the tpr a lot.

This paves the way for multiple architecture support. Note that while
ioapic.c could potentially be shared with ia64, it is also moved.

The current cpuid management suffers from several problems, which inhibit
passing through the host feature set to the guest:
- No way to tell which features the host supports
While some features can be supported with no changes to kvm, others
need explicit support. That means kvm needs to vet the feature set
before it is passed to the guest.
- No support for indexed or stateful cpuid entries
Some cpuid entries depend on ecx as well as on eax, or on internal
state in the processor (running cpuid multiple times with the same
input returns different output). The current cpuid machinery only
supports keying on eax.
- No support for save/restore/migrate
The internal state above needs to be exposed to userspace so it can
be saved or migrated.
This patch adds extended cpuid support by means of three new ioctls:
- KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID: get all cpuid entries the host (and kvm)
supports
- KVM_SET_CPUID2: sets the vcpu's cpuid table
- KVM_GET_CPUID2: gets the vcpu's cpuid table, including hidden state
[avi: fix original KVM_SET_CPUID not removing nx on non-nx hosts as it did
before]
