Xiantao Zhang 3e4bb3ac9e KVM: Use kzalloc to avoid allocating kvm_regs from kernel stack
Since the size of kvm_regs is too big to allocate from kernel stack on ia64,
use kzalloc to allocate it.

Marcelo Tosatti 05da45583d KVM: MMU: large page support
Create large pages mappings if the guest PTE's are marked as such and
the underlying memory is hugetlbfs backed.  If the largepage contains
write-protected pages, a large pte is not used.

Gives a consistent 2% improvement for data copies on ram mounted
filesystem, without NPT/EPT.

Anthony measures a 4% improvement on 4-way kernbench, with NPT.

Marcelo Tosatti 2e53d63acb KVM: MMU: ignore zapped root pagetables
Mark zapped root pagetables as invalid and ignore such pages during lookup.

This is a problem with the cr3-target feature, where a zapped root table fools
the faulting code into creating a read-only mapping. The result is a lockup
if the instruction can't be emulated.

Avi Kivity 8c35f237fb KVM: Route irq 0 to vcpu 0 exclusively
Some Linux versions allow the timer interrupt to be processed by more than
one cpu, leading to hangs due to tsc instability.  Work around the issue
by only disaptching the interrupt to vcpu 0.

Problem analyzed (and patch tested) by Sheng Yang.

Izik Eidus 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.

Christoph Hellwig 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.

Marcelo Tosatti 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

Marcelo Tosatti 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.
