Dominik Dingel e0ead41a6d KVM: async_pf: Provide additional direct page notification
By setting a Kconfig option, the architecture can control when
guest notifications will be presented by the apf backend.
There is the default batch mechanism, working as before, where the vcpu
thread should pull in this information.
Opposite to this, there is now the direct mechanism, that will push the
information to the guest.
This way s390 can use an already existing architecture interface.

Still the vcpu thread should call check_completion to cleanup leftovers.

Alex Williamson ec53500fae kvm: Add VFIO device
So far we've succeeded at making KVM and VFIO mostly unaware of each
other, but areas are cropping up where a connection beyond eventfds
and irqfds needs to be made.  This patch introduces a KVM-VFIO device
that is meant to be a gateway for such interaction.  The user creates
the device and can add and remove VFIO groups to it via file
descriptors.  When a group is added, KVM verifies the group is valid
and gets a reference to it via the VFIO external user interface.

Alexander Graf a725d56a02 KVM: Introduce CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQ_ROUTING
Quite a bit of code in KVM has been conditionalized on availability of
IOAPIC emulation. However, most of it is generically applicable to
platforms that don't have an IOPIC, but a different type of irq chip.

Make code that only relies on IRQ routing, not an APIC itself, on
CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQ_ROUTING, so that we can reuse it later.

Jan Kiszka 07975ad3b3 KVM: Introduce direct MSI message injection for in-kernel irqchips
Currently, MSI messages can only be injected to in-kernel irqchips by
defining a corresponding IRQ route for each message. This is not only
unhandy if the MSI messages are generated "on the fly" by user space,
IRQ routes are a limited resource that user space has to manage
carefully.

By providing a direct injection path, we can both avoid using up limited
resources and simplify the necessary steps for user land.

Gleb Natapov af585b921e KVM: Halt vcpu if page it tries to access is swapped out
If a guest accesses swapped out memory do not swap it in from vcpu thread
context. Schedule work to do swapping and put vcpu into halted state
instead.

Interrupts will still be delivered to the guest and if interrupt will
cause reschedule guest will continue to run another task.

Gleb Natapov 73880c80aa KVM: Break dependency between vcpu index in vcpus array and vcpu_id.
Archs are free to use vcpu_id as they see fit. For x86 it is used as
vcpu's apic id. New ioctl is added to configure boot vcpu id that was
assumed to be 0 till now.

Gregory Haskins 721eecbf4f KVM: irqfd
KVM provides a complete virtual system environment for guests, including
support for injecting interrupts modeled after the real exception/interrupt
facilities present on the native platform (such as the IDT on x86).
Virtual interrupts can come from a variety of sources (emulated devices,
pass-through devices, etc) but all must be injected to the guest via
the KVM infrastructure.  This patch adds a new mechanism to inject a specific
interrupt to a guest using a decoupled eventfd mechnanism:  Any legal signal
on the irqfd (using eventfd semantics from either userspace or kernel) will
translate into an injected interrupt in the guest at the next available
interrupt window.
