Enhance mov dr instruction emulation used by SVM so that it properly
handles dr4/5: alias to dr6/7 if cr4.de is cleared. Otherwise return
EMULATE_FAIL which will let our only possible caller in that scenario,
ud_interception, re-inject UD.
We do not need to inject faults, SVM does this for us (exceptions take
precedence over instruction interceptions). For the same reason, the
value overflow checks can be removed.

The return values from x86_emulate_ops are defined
in kvm_emulate.h as macros X86EMUL_*.
But in emulate.c, we are comparing the return values
from these ops with 0 to check if they're X86EMUL_CONTINUE
or not: X86EMUL_CONTINUE is defined as 0 now.
To avoid possible mistakes in the future, this patch
substitutes "X86EMUL_CONTINUE" for "0" that are being
compared with the return values from x86_emulate_ops.
We think that there are more places we should use these
macros, but the meanings of rc values in x86_emulate_insn()
were not so clear at a glance. If we use proper macros in
this function, we would be able to follow the flow of each
emulation more easily and, maybe, more securely.

We keep a copy of the MSR around that we use when we go into the guest context.
That copy is basically the normal process MSR flags OR some allowed guest
specified MSR flags. We also AND the external providers into this, so we get
traps on FPU usage when we haven't activated it on the host yet.
Currently this calculation is part of the set_msr function that we use whenever
we set the guest MSR value. With the external providers, we also have the case
that we don't modify the guest's MSR, but only want to update the shadow MSR.
So let's move the shadow MSR parts to a separate function that we then use
whenever we only need to update it. That way we don't accidently kvm_vcpu_block
within a preempt notifier context.

SRR1 stores more information that just the MSR value. It also stores
valuable information about the type of interrupt we received, for
example whether the storage interrupt we just got was because of a
missing htab entry or not.
We use that information to speed up the exit path.
Now if we get preempted before we can interpret the shadow_msr values,
we get into vcpu_put which then calls the MSR handler, which then sets
all the SRR1 information bits in shadow_msr to 0. Great.
So let's preserve the SRR1 specific bits in shadow_msr whenever we set
the MSR. They don't hurt.

Commit 7d01b4c3ed2bb33ceaf2d270cb4831a67a76b51b introduced PACA backed vcpu
values. With this patch, when a userspace app was setting GPRs before it was
actually first loaded, the set values get discarded.
This is because vcpu_load loads them from the vcpu backing store that we use
whenever we're not owning the PACA.
That behavior is not really a major problem, because we don't need it for
qemu. Other users (like kvmctl) do have problems with it though, so let's

An SLB entry contains two pieces of information related to size:
1) PTE size
2) SLB size
The L bit defines the PTE be "large" (usually means 16MB),
SLB_VSID_B_1T defines that the SLB should span 1 GB instead of the
default 256MB.
Apparently I messed things up and just put those two in one box,
shaked it heavily and came up with the current code which handles
large pages incorrectly, because it also treats large page SLB entries
as "1TB" segment entries.
This patch splits those two features apart, making Linux guests boot
even when they have > 256MB.

Currently we're racy when doing the transition from IR=1 to IR=0, from
the module memory entry code to the real mode SLB switching code.
To work around that I took a look at the RTAS entry code which is faced
with a similar problem and did the same thing:
A small helper in linear mapped memory that does mtmsr with IR=0 and
then RFIs info the actual handler.
Thanks to that trick we can safely take page faults in the entry code
and only need to be really wary of what to do as of the SLB switching
part.

Using an RFI in IR=1 is dangerous. We need to set two SRRs and then do an RFI
without getting interrupted at all, because every interrupt could potentially
overwrite the SRR values.
Fortunately, we don't need to RFI in at least this particular case of the code,
so we can just replace it with an mtmsr and b.

To fetch the last instruction we were interrupted on, we enable DR in early
exit code, where we are still in a very transitional phase between guest
and host state.
Most of the time this seemed to work, but another CPU can easily flush our
TLB and HTAB which makes us go in the Linux page fault handler which totally
breaks because we still use the guest's SLB entries.
To work around that, let's introduce a second KVM guest mode that defines
that whenever we get a trap, we don't call the Linux handler or go into
the KVM exit code, but just jump over the faulting instruction.
That way a potentially bad lwz doesn't trigger any faults and we can later
on interpret the invalid instruction we fetched as "fetch didn't work".

The PowerPC C ABI defines that registers r14-r31 need to be preserved across
function calls. Since our exit handler is written in C, we can make use of that
and don't need to reload r14-r31 on every entry/exit cycle.
This technique is also used in the BookE code and is called "lightweight exits"
there. To follow the tradition, it's called the same in Book3S.

When the guest acknowledges an interrupt, it sends an EOI message to the local
apic, which broadcasts it to the ioapic. To handle the EOI, we need to take
the ioapic mutex.
On large guests, this causes a lot of contention on this mutex. Since large
guests usually don't route interrupts via the ioapic (they use msi instead),
this is completely unnecessary.
Avoid taking the mutex by introducing a handled_vectors bitmap. Before taking
the mutex, check if the ioapic was actually responsible for the acked vector.
If not, we can return early.
