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.

The kvmclock spec says that the host will increment a version field to
an odd number, then update stuff, then increment it to an even number.
The host is buggy and doesn't do this, and the result is observable
when one vcpu reads another vcpu's kvmclock data.
There's no good way for a guest kernel to keep its vdso from reading
a different vcpu's kvmclock data, but we don't need to care about
changing VCPUs as long as we read a consistent data from kvmclock.
(VCPU can change outside of this loop too, so it doesn't matter if we
return a value not fit for this VCPU.)

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.

This patch adds a cached value of maxphyaddr to vcpu.arch to reduce the

qemu-kvm-8387 [002] 6425.561251: kvm_vcpu_wakeup: poll time 0 ns
and so on. This is because we need to go through kvm_vcpu_block again
after the timer IRQ is injected. Avoid it by polling once before
entering kvm_vcpu_block.

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.

For the hrtimer which emulates the tscdeadline timer in the guest,
add an option to advance expiration, and busy spin on VM-entry waiting
for the actual expiration time to elapse.
This allows achieving low latencies in cyclictest (or any scenario
which requires strict timing regarding timer expiration).
Reduces average cyclictest latency from 12us to 8us
on Core i5 desktop.
Note: this option requires tuning to find the appropriate value
for a particular hardware/guest combination. One method is to measure the
average delay between apic_timer_fn and VM-entry.
Another method is to start with 1000ns, and increase the value
in say 500ns increments until avg cyclictest numbers stop decreasing.

Several hypervisors need MSR auto load/restore feature.
We read MSRs from VM-entry MSR load area which specified by L1,
and load them via kvm_set_msr in the nested entry.
When nested exit occurs, we get MSRs via kvm_get_msr, writing
them to L1`s MSR store area. After this, we read MSRs from VM-exit
MSR load area, and load them via kvm_set_msr.

Userspace is expecting non-compacted format for KVM_GET_XSAVE, but
struct xsave_struct might be using the compacted format. Convert
in order to preserve userspace ABI.
Likewise, userspace is passing non-compacted format for KVM_SET_XSAVE
but the kernel will pass it to XRSTORS, and we need to convert back.

cs.base is declared as a __u64 variable and vector is a u32 so this
causes a static checker warning. The user indeed can set "sipi_vector"
to any u32 value in kvm_vcpu_ioctl_x86_set_vcpu_events(), but the
value should really have 8-bit precision only.

Create a new header, and hide the device assignment functions there.
Move struct kvm_assigned_dev_kernel to assigned-dev.c by modifying
arch/x86/kvm/iommu.c to take a PCI device struct.

Now that ia64 is gone, we can hide deprecated device assignment in x86.
Notable changes:
- kvm_vm_ioctl_assigned_device() was moved to x86/kvm_arch_vm_ioctl()
The easy parts were removed from generic kvm code, remaining
- kvm_iommu_(un)map_pages() would require new code to be moved
- struct kvm_assigned_dev_kernel depends on struct kvm_irq_ack_notifier

When running the tsc_adjust kvm-unit-test on an AMD processor with the
IA32_TSC_ADJUST feature enabled, the WARN_ON in svm_adjust_tsc_offset can be
triggered. This WARN_ON checks for a negative adjustment in case __scale_tsc
is called; however it may trigger unnecessary warnings.
This patch moves the WARN_ON to trigger only if __scale_tsc will actually be
called from svm_adjust_tsc_offset. In addition make adj in kvm_set_msr_common
s64 since this can have signed values.

kvm updates the version number for the guest paravirt clock structure by
incrementing the version of its private copy. It does not read the guest
version, so will write version = 2 in the first update for every new VM,
including after restoring a saved state. If guest state is saved during
reading the clock, it could read and accept struct fields and guest TSC
from two different updates. This changes the code to increment the guest
version and write it back.

When the guest writes to the TSC, the masterclock TSC copy must be
updated as well along with the TSC_OFFSET update, otherwise a negative
tsc_timestamp is calculated at kvm_guest_time_update.
Once "if (!vcpus_matched && ka->use_master_clock)" is simplified to
"if (ka->use_master_clock)", the corresponding "if (!ka->use_master_clock)"
becomes redundant, so remove the do_request boolean and collapse
everything into a single condition.

If the emulation ends in fault, eflags should not be updated. However, several
instruction emulations (actually all the fastops) currently update eflags, if
the fault was detected afterwards (e.g., #PF during writeback).

Although Intel SDM mentions bit 63 is reserved, MOV to CR3 can have bit 63 set.
As Intel SDM states in section 4.10.4 "Invalidation of TLBs and
Paging-Structure Caches": " MOV to CR3. ... If CR4.PCIDE = 1 and bit 63 of the
instruction’s source operand is 0 ..."
In other words, bit 63 is not reserved. KVM emulator currently consider bit 63
as reserved. Fix it.
