7874980922 KVM: ensure that memslot userspace addresses are page-aligned
Bad page translation and silent guest failure ensue if the userspace address is
not page-aligned.  I hit this problem using large (host) pages with qemu,
because qemu currently has a hardcoded 4096-byte alignment for guest memory
allocations.

2843099fee KVM: MMU: Fix aliased gfns treated as unaliased
Some areas of kvm x86 mmu are using gfn offset inside a slot without
unaliasing the gfn first.  This patch makes sure that the gfn will be
unaliased and add gfn_to_memslot_unaliased() to save the calculating
of the gfn unaliasing in case we have it unaliased already.

6eb55818c0 KVM: Enable Function Level Reset for assigned device
Ideally, every assigned device should in a clear condition before and after
assignment, so that the former state of device won't affect later work.
Some devices provide a mechanism named Function Level Reset, which is
defined in PCI/PCI-e document. We should execute it before and after device
assignment.

(But sadly, the feature is new, and most device on the market now don't
support it. We are considering using D0/D3hot transmit to emulate it later,
but not that elegant and reliable as FLR itself.)

[Update: Reminded by Xiantao, execute FLR after we ensure that the device can
be assigned to the guest.]

5550af4df1 KVM: Fix guest shared interrupt with in-kernel irqchip
Every call of kvm_set_irq() should offer an irq_source_id, which is
allocated by kvm_request_irq_source_id(). Based on irq_source_id, we
identify the irq source and implement logical OR for shared level
interrupts.

The allocated irq_source_id can be freed by kvm_free_irq_source_id().

Currently, we support at most sizeof(unsigned long) different irq sources.

[Amit: - rebase to kvm.git HEAD
       - move definition of KVM_USERSPACE_IRQ_SOURCE_ID to common file
       - move kvm_request_irq_source_id to the update_irq ioctl]

7d8fece678 KVM: Don't destroy vcpu in case vcpu_setup fails
One of vcpu_setup responsibilities is to do mmu initialization.
However, in case we fail in kvm_arch_vcpu_reset, before we get the
chance to init mmu. OTOH, vcpu_destroy will attempt to destroy mmu,
triggering a bug. Keeping track of whether or not mmu is initialized
would unnecessarily complicate things. Rather, we just make return,
making sure any needed uninitialization is done before we return, in
case we fail.

5f94c1741b KVM: Add coalesced MMIO support (common part)
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.

4ecac3fd6d KVM: Handle virtualization instruction #UD faults during reboot
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.

35149e2129 KVM: MMU: Don't assume struct page for x86
This patch introduces a gfn_to_pfn() function and corresponding functions like
kvm_release_pfn_dirty().  Using these new functions, we can modify the x86
MMU to no longer assume that it can always get a struct page for any given gfn.

We don't want to eliminate gfn_to_page() entirely because a number of places
assume they can do gfn_to_page() and then kmap() the results.  When we support
IO memory, gfn_to_page() will fail for IO pages although gfn_to_pfn() will
succeed.

This does not implement support for avoiding reference counting for reserved
RAM or for IO memory.  However, it should make those things pretty straight
forward.

Since we're only introducing new common symbols, I don't think it will break
the non-x86 architectures but I haven't tested those.  I've tested Intel,
AMD, NPT, and hugetlbfs with Windows and Linux guests.

72dc67a696 KVM: remove the usage of the mmap_sem for the protection of the memory slots.
This patch replaces the mmap_sem lock for the memory slots with a new
kvm private lock, it is needed beacuse untill now there were cases where
kvm accesses user memory while holding the mmap semaphore.

8b88b0998e libfs: allow error return from simple attributes
Sometimes simple attributes might need to return an error, e.g. for
acquiring a mutex interruptibly.  In fact we have that situation in
spufs already which is the original user of the simple attributes.  This
patch merged the temporarily forked attributes in spufs back into the
main ones and allows to return errors.

aaee2c94f7 KVM: MMU: Switch to mmu spinlock
Convert the synchronization of the shadow handling to a separate mmu_lock
spinlock.

Also guard fetch() by mmap_sem in read-mode to protect against alias
and memslot changes.

10589a4699 KVM: MMU: Concurrent guest walkers
Do not hold kvm->lock mutex across the entire pagefault code,
only acquire it in places where it is necessary, such as mmu
hash list, active list, rmap and parent pte handling.

Allow concurrent guest walkers by switching walk_addr() to use
mmap_sem in read-mode.

And get rid of the lockless __gfn_to_page.
