f67a46f4aa KVM: MMU: Clean up MMU functions to take struct kvm when appropriate
Some of the MMU functions take a struct kvm_vcpu even though they affect all
VCPUs.  This patch cleans up some of them to instead take a struct kvm.  This
makes things a bit more clear.

The main thing that was confusing me was whether certain functions need to be
called on all VCPUs.

6fc138d227 KVM: Support assigning userspace memory to the guest
Instead of having the kernel allocate memory to the guest, let userspace
allocate it and pass the address to the kernel.

This is required for s390 support, but also enables features like memory
sharing and using hugetlbfs backed memory.

76fafa5e22 KVM: Hoist kvm_create_lapic() into kvm_vcpu_init()
Move kvm_create_lapic() into kvm_vcpu_init(), rather than having svm
and vmx do it.  And make it return the error rather than a fairly
random -ENOMEM.

This also solves the problem that neither svm.c nor vmx.c actually
handles the error path properly.

d589444e92 KVM: Add kvm_free_lapic() to pair with kvm_create_lapic()
Instead of the asymetry of kvm_free_apic, implement kvm_free_lapic().
And guess what?  I found a minor bug: we don't need to hrtimer_cancel()
from kvm_main.c, because we do that in kvm_free_apic().

Also:
1) kvm_vcpu_uninit should be the reverse order from kvm_vcpu_init.
2) Don't set apic->regs_page to zero before freeing apic.

290fc38da8 KVM: Remove the usage of page->private field by rmap
When kvm uses user-allocated pages in the future for the guest, we won't
be able to use page->private for rmap, since page->rmap is reserved for
the filesystem.  So we move the rmap base pointers to the memory slot.

A side effect of this is that we need to store the gfn of each gpte in
the shadow pages, since the memory slot is addressed by gfn, instead of
hfn like struct page.

12b7d28fc1 KVM: MMU: Make flooding detection work when guest page faults are bypassed
When we allow guest page faults to reach the guests directly, we lose
the fault tracking which allows us to detect demand paging.  So we provide
an alternate mechnism by clearing the accessed bit when we set a pte, and
checking it later to see if the guest actually used it.

c7addb9020 KVM: Allow not-present guest page faults to bypass kvm
There are two classes of page faults trapped by kvm:
 - host page faults, where the fault is needed to allow kvm to install
   the shadow pte or update the guest accessed and dirty bits
 - guest page faults, where the guest has faulted and kvm simply injects
   the fault back into the guest to handle

The second class, guest page faults, is pure overhead.  We can eliminate
some of it on vmx using the following evil trick:
 - when we set up a shadow page table entry, if the corresponding guest pte
   is not present, set up the shadow pte as not present
 - if the guest pte _is_ present, mark the shadow pte as present but also
   set one of the reserved bits in the shadow pte
 - tell the vmx hardware not to trap faults which have the present bit clear

With this, normal page-not-present faults go directly to the guest,
bypassing kvm entirely.

Unfortunately, this trick only works on Intel hardware, as AMD lacks a
way to discriminate among page faults based on error code.  It is also
a little risky since it uses reserved bits which might become unreserved
in the future, so a module parameter is provided to disable it.

51c6cf662b KVM: VMX: Further reduce efer reloads
KVM avoids reloading the efer msr when the difference between the guest
and host values consist of the long mode bits (which are switched by
hardware) and the NX bit (which is emulated by the KVM MMU).

This patch also allows KVM to ignore SCE (syscall enable) when the guest
is running in 32-bit mode.  This is because the syscall instruction is
not available in 32-bit mode on Intel processors, so the SCE bit is
effectively meaningless.

7aa81cc047 KVM: Refactor hypercall infrastructure (v3)
This patch refactors the current hypercall infrastructure to better
support live migration and SMP.  It eliminates the hypercall page by
trapping the UD exception that would occur if you used the wrong hypercall
instruction for the underlying architecture and replacing it with the right
one lazily.

A fall-out of this patch is that the unhandled hypercalls no longer trap to
userspace.  There is very little reason though to use a hypercall to
communicate with userspace as PIO or MMIO can be used.  There is no code
in tree that uses userspace hypercalls.

60e233172e [net] Gracefully handle shared e1000/1000e driver PCI ID's
Both the old e1000 driver and the new e1000e driver can drive some
PCI-Express e1000 cards, and we should avoid ambiguity about which
driver will pick up the support for those cards when both drivers are
enabled.

This solves the problem by having the old driver support those cards if
the new driver isn't configured, but otherwise ceding support for PCI
Express versions of the e1000 chipset to the newer driver.  Thus
allowing both legacy configurations where only the old driver is active
(and handles all chips it knows about) and the new configuration with
the new driver handling the more modern PCIE variants.

e3ed910db2 x86: use the same pgd_list for PAE and 64-bit
Use a standard list threaded through page->lru for maintaining the pgd
list on PAE.  This is the same as 64-bit, and seems saner than using a
non-standard list via page->index.

fa28ba21ce x86: defer cr3 reload when doing pud_clear()
PAE mode requires that we reload cr3 in order to guarantee that
changes to the pgd will be noticed by the processor.  This means that
in principle pud_clear needs to reload cr3 every time.  However,
because reloading cr3 implies a tlb flush, we want to avoid it where
possible.

pud_clear() is only used in a couple of places:
 - in free_pmd_range(), when pulling down a range of process address space, and
 - huge_pmd_unshare()

In both cases, the calling code will do a a tlb flush anyway, so
there's no need to do it within pud_clear().

In free_pmd_range(), the pud_clear is immediately followed by
pmd_free_tlb(); we can hook that to make the mmu_gather do an
unconditional full flush to make sure cr3 gets reloaded.

In huge_pmd_unshare, it is followed by flush_tlb_range, which always
results in a full cr3-reload tlb flush.

f212ec4b7b x86: early boot debugging via FireWire (ohci1394_dma=early)
This patch adds a new configuration option, which adds support for a new
early_param which gets checked in arch/x86/kernel/setup_{32,64}.c:setup_arch()
to decide wether OHCI-1394 FireWire controllers should be initialized and
enabled for physical DMA access to allow remote debugging of early problems
like issues ACPI or other subsystems which are executed very early.

If the config option is not enabled, no code is changed, and if the boot
paramenter is not given, no new code is executed, and independent of that,
all new code is freed after boot, so the config option can be even enabled
in standard, non-debug kernels.

With specialized tools, it is then possible to get debugging information
from machines which have no serial ports (notebooks) such as the printk
buffer contents, or any data which can be referenced from global pointers,
if it is stored below the 4GB limit and even memory dumps of of the physical
RAM region below the 4GB limit can be taken without any cooperation from the
CPU of the host, so the machine can be crashed early, it does not matter.

In the extreme, even kernel debuggers can be accessed in this way. I wrote
a small kgdb module and an accompanying gdb stub for FireWire which allows
to gdb to talk to kgdb using remote remory reads and writes over FireWire.

An version of the gdb stub fore FireWire is able to read all global data
from a system which is running a a normal kernel without any kernel debugger,
without any interruption or support of the system's CPU. That way, e.g. the
task struct and so on can be read and even manipulated when the physical DMA
access is granted.

A HOWTO is included in this patch, in Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt
and I've put a copy online at
ftp://ftp.suse.de/private/bk/firewire/docs/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt

It also has links to all the tools which are available to make use of it
another copy of it is online at:

6194ba6ff6 x86: don't special-case pmd allocations as much
In x86 PAE mode, stop treating pmds as a special case.  Previously
they were always allocated and freed with the pgd.  The modifies the
code to be the same as 64-bit mode, where they are allocated on
demand.

This is a step on the way to unifying 32/64-bit pagetable allocation
as much as possible.

There is a complicating wart, however.  When you install a new
reference to a pmd in the pgd, the processor isn't guaranteed to see
it unless you reload cr3.  Since reloading cr3 also has the
side-effect of flushing the tlb, this is an expense that we want to
avoid whereever possible.

This patch simply avoids reloading cr3 unless the update is to the
current pagetable.  Later patches will optimise this further.

fd40d6e318 x86: shrink some ifdefs in fault.c
The change from current to tsk in do_page_fault is safe as
this is set at the very beginning of the function.

Removes a likely() annotation from the 64-bit version, this
could have instead been added to 32-bit.

5b727a3b01 x86: ignore spurious faults
When changing a kernel page from RO->RW, it's OK to leave stale TLB
entries around, since doing a global flush is expensive and they pose
no security problem.  They can, however, generate a spurious fault,
which we should catch and simply return from (which will have the
side-effect of reloading the TLB to the current PTE).

This can occur when running under Xen, because it frequently changes
kernel pages from RW->RO->RW to implement Xen's pagetable semantics.
It could also occur when using CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, since it avoids
doing a global TLB flush after changing page permissions.

On !PAE 32-bit, _PAGE_NX will be 0, making is_prefetch always
return early.  The test is sufficient on PAE as __supported_pte_mask
is updated in the same places as nx_enabled in init_32.c which also
takes disable_nx into account.
