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.

Move kvm_create_lapic() into kvm_vcpu_init(), rather than having svm

This also solves the problem that neither svm.c nor vmx.c actually

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.

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.

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.
Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The ACPI code currently disables TSC use in any C2 and C3
states. But the AMD Fam10h BKDG documents that the TSC

set. Make this disabling conditional on CONSTANT_TSC
not set on AMD.
I actually think this is true on Intel too for C2 states
on CPUs with p-state invariant TSC, but this needs
further discussions with Len to really confirm :-)

Aviod TLB flush IPIs during C3 states by voluntary leave_mm()
before entering C3.
The performance impact of TLB flush on C3 should not be significant with
respect to C3 wakeup latency. Also, CPUs tend to flush TLB in hardware while in
C3 anyways.
On a 8 logical CPU system, running make -j2, the number of tlbflush IPIs goes
down from 40 per second to ~ 0. Total number of interrupts during the run
of this workload was ~1200 per second, which makes it ~3% savings in wakeups.
There was no measurable performance or power impact however.

People with HP Desktops (including me) encounter couple of DMI errors
during boot - dmi_save_oem_strings_devices: out of memory and
dmi_string: out of memory.
On some HP desktops the DMI data include OEM strings (type 11) out of
which only few are meaningful and most other are empty. DMI code
religiously creates copies of these 27 strings (65 bytes each in my
case) and goes OOM in dmi_string().
If DMI_MAX_DATA is bumped up a little then it goes and fails in
dmi_save_oem_strings while allocating dmi_devices of sizeof(struct
dmi_device) corresponding to these strings.
On x86_64 since we cannot use alloc_bootmem this early, the code uses a
static array of 2048 bytes (DMI_MAX_DATA) for allocating the memory DMI
needs. It does not survive the creation of empty strings and devices.
Fix this by detecting and not newly allocating empty strings and instead
using a one statically defined dmi_empty_string.
Also do not create a new struct dmi_device for each empty string - use
one statically define dmi_device with .name=dmi_empty_string and add
that to the dmi_devices list.
On x64 this should stop the OOM with same current size of DMI_MAX_DATA
and on x86 this should save a good amount of (27*65 bytes +
27*sizeof(struct dmi_device) bootmem.
Compile and boot tested on both 32-bit and 64-bit x86.
