This is esoteric and only needed to break COW on MAP_SHARED mappings. Since
KVM no longer does these sorts of mappings, breaking COW on them is no longer

We currently walk the shadow page tables in two places: direct map (for
real mode and two dimensional paging) and paging mode shadow. Since we
anticipate requiring a third walk (for invlpg), it makes sense to have
a generic facility for shadow walk.
This patch adds such a shadow walker, walks the page tables and calls a
method for every spte encountered. The method can examine the spte,
modify it, or even instantiate it. The walk can be aborted by returning
nonzero from the method.

In all cases the shadow root level is available in mmu.shadow_root_level,
so there is no need to pass it as a parameter.

Spurious acks can be generated, for example if the PIC is being reset.
Handle those acks gracefully rather than flooding the log with warnings.
Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
The irq ack during pic reset has three problems:
- Ignores slave/master PIC, using gsi 0-8 for both.
- Generates an ACK even if the APIC is in control.
- Depends upon IMR being clear, which is broken if the irq was masked
at the time it was generated.
The last one causes the BIOS to hang after the first reboot of
Windows installation, since PIT interrupts stop.

We're in a hot path. We can't use kmalloc() because

we need into the kvm_vcpu_arch structure. This is used very

We also have to move the buffer structure's definition to the

On my machine with gcc 3.4, kvm uses ~2k of stack in a few
select functions. This is mostly because gcc fails to
notice that the different case: statements could have their
stack usage combined. It overflows very nicely if interrupts
happen during one of these large uses.
This patch uses two methods for reducing stack usage.
1. dynamically allocate large objects instead of putting
on the stack.
2. Use a union{} member for all of the case variables. This
tricks gcc into combining them all into a single stack
allocation. (There's also a comment on this)

This patch adds support for handling PCI devices that are assigned to
the guest.
The device to be assigned to the guest is registered in the host kernel
and interrupt delivery is handled. If a device is already assigned, or
the device driver for it is still loaded on the host, the device
assignment is failed by conveying a -EBUSY reply to the userspace.
Devices that share their interrupt line are not supported at the moment.
By itself, this patch will not make devices work within the guest.
The VT-d extension is required to enable the device to perform DMA.
Another alternative is PVDMA.

We're currently facing timing problems in guests that do
calibration under heavy load, and then the load vanishes.
This means we'll have a much lower lpj than we actually should,
and delays end up taking less time than they should, which is a
nasty bug.
Solution is to pass on the lpj value from host to guest, and have it
preset.

The PIT injection logic is problematic under the following cases:
1) If there is a higher priority vector to be delivered by the time
kvm_pit_timer_intr_post is invoked ps->inject_pending won't be set.
This opens the possibility for missing many PIT event injections (say if
guest executes hlt at this point).
2) ps->inject_pending is racy with more than two vcpus. Since there's no locking
around read/dec of pt->pending, two vcpu's can inject two interrupts for a single
pt->pending count.
Fix 1 by using an irq ack notifier: only reinject when the previous irq
has been acked. Fix 2 with appropriate locking around manipulation of
pending count and irq_ack by the injection / ack paths.

When we use TID=N userspace mappings, we must ensure that kernel mappings have
been destroyed when entering userspace. Using TID=1/TID=0 for kernel/user
mappings and running userspace with PID=0 means that userspace can't access the
kernel mappings, but the kernel can directly access userspace.

We're saving the host TLB state to memory on every exit, but never using it.
Originally I had thought that we'd want to restore host TLB for heavyweight

Since this decreases the performance penalty of all exits, this patch improves
guest boot time by about 15%.
