If there are no assigned devices, the guest PAT are not providing
any useful information and can be overridden to writeback; VMX
always does this because it has the "IPAT" bit in its extended
page table entries, but SVM does not have anything similar.
Hook into VFIO and legacy device assignment so that they
provide this information to KVM.

Pull first batch of KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"The bulk of the changes here is for x86. And for once it's not for
silicon that no one owns: these are really new features for everyone.
Details:
- ARM:
several features are in progress but missed the 4.2 deadline.
So here is just a smattering of bug fixes, plus enabling the
VFIO integration.
- s390:
Some fixes/refactorings/optimizations, plus support for 2GB
pages.
- x86:
* host and guest support for marking kvmclock as a stable
scheduler clock.
* support for write combining.
* support for system management mode, needed for secure boot in
guests.
* a bunch of cleanups required for the above
* support for virtualized performance counters on AMD
* legacy PCI device assignment is deprecated and defaults to "n"
in Kconfig; VFIO replaces it
On top of this there are also bug fixes and eager FPU context
loading for FPU-heavy guests.
- Common code:
Support for multiple address spaces; for now it is used only for
x86 SMM but the s390 folks also have plans"
* tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: (124 commits)

This patch defines a new function pointer struct (kvm_pmu_ops) to
support vPMU for both Intel and AMD. The functions pointers defined in
this new struct will be linked with Intel and AMD functions later. In the
meanwhile the struct that maps from event_sel bits to PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE
events is renamed and moved from Intel specific code to kvm_host.h as a
common struct.

Because SMBASE is usually relocated above 1M on modern chipsets, and
SMM handlers might indeed rely on 4G segment limits, we only expose it
if KVM is able to run the guest in big real mode. This includes any
of VMX+emulate_invalid_guest_state, VMX+unrestricted_guest, or SVM.

This is now very simple to do. The only interesting part is a simple
trick to find the right memslot in gfn_to_rmap, retrieving the address
space from the spte role word. The same trick is used in the auditing
code.
The comment on top of union kvm_mmu_page_role has been stale forever,
so remove it. Speaking of stale code, remove pad_for_nice_hex_output
too: it was splitting the "access" bitfield across two bytes and thus
had effectively turned into pad_for_ugly_hex_output.

of a second address space for system management mode.
A new function x86_set_memory_region (and the "slots_lock taken"
counterpart __x86_set_memory_region) is introduced in order to
operate on all address spaces when adding or deleting private
memory slots.

We need to hide SMRAM from guests not running in SMM. Therefore,
all uses of kvm_read_guest* and kvm_write_guest* must be changed to
check whether the VCPU is in system management mode and use a
different set of memslots. Switch from kvm_* to the newly-introduced
kvm_vcpu_*, which call into kvm_arch_vcpu_memslots_id.

SMBASE is only readable from SMM for the VCPU, but it must be always
accessible if userspace is accessing it. Thus, all functions that
read MSRs are changed to accept a struct msr_data; the host_initiated

on return.

This lets the function access the new memory slot without going through
kvm_memslots and id_to_memslot. It will simplify the code when more
than one address space will be supported.
Unfortunately, the "const"ness of the new argument must be casted
away in two places. Fixing KVM to accept const struct kvm_memory_slot
pointers would require modifications in pretty much all architectures,
and is left for later.

INIT does not initialize the FPU (including MMX, XMM, YMM, etc.), TSC, PMU,
MSRs (in general), MTRRs machine-check, APIC ID, APIC arbitration ID and BSP.
References (from Intel SDM):
"If the MP protocol has completed and a BSP is chosen, subsequent INITs (either
to a specific processor or system wide) do not cause the MP protocol to be
repeated." [8.4.2: MP Initialization Protocol Requirements and Restrictions]
[Table 9-1. IA-32 Processor States Following Power-up, Reset, or INIT]
"If the processor is reset by asserting the INIT# pin, the x87 FPU state is not
changed." [9.2: X87 FPU INITIALIZATION]
"The state of the local APIC following an INIT reset is the same as it is after
a power-up or hardware reset, except that the APIC ID and arbitration ID
registers are not affected." [10.4.7.3: Local APIC State After an INIT Reset
("Wait-for-SIPI" State)]

Introducing KVM_CAP_DISABLE_QUIRKS for disabling x86 quirks that were previous
created in order to overcome QEMU issues. Those issue were mostly result of
invalid VM BIOS. Currently there are two quirks that can be disabled:
1. KVM_QUIRK_LINT0_REENABLED - LINT0 was enabled after boot
2. KVM_QUIRK_CD_NW_CLEARED - CD and NW are cleared after boot
These two issues are already resolved in recent releases of QEMU, and would
therefore be disabled by QEMU.

Dirty logging tracks sptes in 4k granularity, meaning that large sptes
have to be split. If live migration is successful, the guest in the
source machine will be destroyed and large sptes will be created in the
destination. However, the guest continues to run in the source machine
(for example if live migration fails), small sptes will remain around
and cause bad performance.
This patch introduce lazy collapsing of small sptes into large sptes.
The rmap will be scanned in ioctl context when dirty logging is stopped,
dropping those sptes which can be collapsed into a single large-page spte.
Later page faults will create the large-page sptes.

recalculate_apic_map() uses two passes over all VCPUs. This is a relic
from time when we selected a global mode in the first pass and set up
the optimized table in the second pass (to have a consistent mode).
Recent changes made mixed mode unoptimized and we can do it in one pass.
Format of logical MDA is a function of the mode, so we encode it in
apic_logical_id() and drop obsoleted variables from the struct.

Broadcast allowed only one global APIC mode, but mixed modes are
theoretically possible. x2APIC IPI doesn't mean 0xff as broadcast,
the rest does.
x2APIC broadcasts are accepted by xAPIC. If we take SDM to be logical,
even addreses beginning with 0xff should be accepted, but real hardware
disagrees. This patch aims for simple code by considering most of real
behavior as undefined.

cpuid_maxphyaddr(), which performs lot of memory accesses is called
extensively across KVM, especially in nVMX code.
This patch adds a cached value of maxphyaddr to vcpu.arch to reduce the
pressure onto CPU cache and simplify the code of cpuid_maxphyaddr()
callers. The cached value is initialized in kvm_arch_vcpu_init() and
reloaded every time CPUID is updated by usermode. It is obvious that
these reloads occur infrequently.

don't. The end reult is the caller ends up doing the skip themselves.
Let's make them consistant.

This patch introduces a new module parameter for the KVM module; when it
is present, KVM attempts a bit of polling on every HLT before scheduling
itself out via kvm_vcpu_block.
This parameter helps a lot for latency-bound workloads---in particular
I tested it with O_DSYNC writes with a battery-backed disk in the host.
In this case, writes are fast (because the data doesn't have to go all
the way to the platters) but they cannot be merged by either the host or
the guest. KVM's performance here is usually around 30% of bare metal,
or 50% if you use cache=directsync or cache=writethrough (these
parameters avoid that the guest sends pointless flush requests, and
at the same time they are not slow because of the battery-backed cache).
The bad performance happens because on every halt the host CPU decides
to halt itself too. When the interrupt comes, the vCPU thread is then
migrated to a new physical CPU, and in general the latency is horrible
because the vCPU thread has to be scheduled back in.
With this patch performance reaches 60-65% of bare metal and, more
important, 99% of what you get if you use idle=poll in the guest. This
means that the tunable gets rid of this particular bottleneck, and more
work can be done to improve performance in the kernel or QEMU.
Of course there is some price to pay; every time an otherwise idle vCPUs
is interrupted by an interrupt, it will poll unnecessarily and thus
impose a little load on the host. The above results were obtained with
a mostly random value of the parameter (500000), and the load was around
1.5-2.5% CPU usage on one of the host's core for each idle guest vCPU.
The patch also adds a new stat, /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/halt_successful_poll,
that can be used to tune the parameter. It counts how many HLT
instructions received an interrupt during the polling period; each
successful poll avoids that Linux schedules the VCPU thread out and back
in, and may also avoid a likely trip to C1 and back for the physical CPU.
While the VM is idle, a Linux 4 VCPU VM halts around 10 times per second.
Of these halts, almost all are failed polls. During the benchmark,
instead, basically all halts end within the polling period, except a more
or less constant stream of 50 per second coming from vCPUs that are not
running the benchmark. The wasted time is thus very low. Things may
be slightly different for Windows VMs, which have a ~10 ms timer tick.
The effect is also visible on Marcelo's recently-introduced latency
test for the TSC deadline timer. Though of course a non-RT kernel has
awful latency bounds, the latency of the timer is around 8000-10000 clock
cycles compared to 20000-120000 without setting halt_poll_ns. For the TSC
deadline timer, thus, the effect is both a smaller average latency and
a smaller variance.

This patch adds new kvm_x86_ops dirty logging hooks to enable/disable dirty
logging for particular memory slot, and to flush potentially logged dirty GPAs
before reporting slot->dirty_bitmap to userspace.
kvm x86 common code calls these hooks when they are available so PML logic can
be hidden to VMX specific. SVM won't be impacted as these hooks remain NULL
there.

This patch changes the second parameter of kvm_mmu_slot_remove_write_access from
'slot id' to 'struct kvm_memory_slot *' to align with kvm_x86_ops dirty logging
hooks, which will be introduced in further patch.
Better way is to change second parameter of kvm_arch_commit_memory_region from
'struct kvm_userspace_memory_region *' to 'struct kvm_memory_slot * new', but it
requires changes on other non-x86 ARCH too, so avoid it now.

This patch adds new mmu layer functions to clear/set D-bit for memory slot, and
to write protect superpages for memory slot.
In case of PML, CPU logs the dirty GPA automatically to PML buffer when CPU
updates D-bit from 0 to 1, therefore we don't have to write protect 4K pages,
instead, we only need to clear D-bit in order to log that GPA.
For superpages, we still write protect it and let page fault code to handle
dirty page logging, as we still need to split superpage to 4K pages in PML.
As PML is always enabled during guest's lifetime, to eliminate unnecessary PML
GPA logging, we set D-bit manually for the slot with dirty logging disabled.

SuSE's 2.6.16 kernel fails to boot if the delta between tsc_timestamp
and rdtsc is larger than a given threshold:
* If we get more than the below threshold into the future, we rerequest
* the real time from the host again which has only little offset then
* that we need to adjust using the TSC.
*
* For now that threshold is 1/5th of a jiffie. That should be good
* enough accuracy for completely broken systems, but also give us swing
* to not call out to the host all the time.
*/
#define PVCLOCK_DELTA_MAX ((1000000000ULL / HZ) / 5)
Disable masterclock support (which increases said delta) in case the
boot vcpu does not use MSR_KVM_SYSTEM_TIME_NEW.
Upstreams kernels which support pvclock vsyscalls (and therefore make
use of PVCLOCK_STABLE_BIT) use MSR_KVM_SYSTEM_TIME_NEW.
