X86 CPUs need to have some magic happening to enable the virtualization
extensions on them. This magic can result in unpleasant results for
users, like blocking other VMMs from working (vmx) or using invalid TLB
entries (svm).
Currently KVM activates virtualization when the respective kernel module
is loaded. This blocks us from autoloading KVM modules without breaking
other VMMs.
To circumvent this problem at least a bit, this patch introduces on
demand activation of virtualization. This means, that instead
virtualization is enabled on creation of the first virtual machine
and disabled on destruction of the last one.
So using this, KVM can be easily autoloaded, while keeping other
hypervisors usable.

This rips out the support for KVM_DEBUG_GUEST and introduces a new IOCTL
instead: KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG. The IOCTL payload consists of a generic
part, controlling the "main switch" and the single-step feature. The
arch specific part adds an x86 interface for intercepting both types of
debug exceptions separately and re-injecting them when the host was not
interested. Moveover, the foundation for guest debugging via debug
registers is layed.
To signal breakpoint events properly back to userland, an arch-specific
data block is now returned along KVM_EXIT_DEBUG. For x86, the arch block
contains the PC, the debug exception, and relevant debug registers to
tell debug events properly apart.
The availability of this new interface is signaled by
KVM_CAP_SET_GUEST_DEBUG. Empty stubs for not yet supported archs are
provided.
Note that both SVM and VTX are supported, but only the latter was tested
yet. Based on the experience with all those VTX corner case, I would be
fairly surprised if SVM will work out of the box.

kvm_arch_sync_events is introduced to quiet down all other events may happen
contemporary with VM destroy process, like IRQ handler and work struct for
assigned device.
For kvm_arch_sync_events is called at the very beginning of kvm_destroy_vm(), so
the state of KVM here is legal and can provide a environment to quiet down other
events.

Existing KVM statistics are either just counters (kvm_stat) reported for
KVM generally or trace based aproaches like kvm_trace.
For KVM on powerpc we had the need to track the timings of the different exit
types. While this could be achieved parsing data created with a kvm_trace
extension this adds too much overhead (at least on embedded PowerPC) slowing
down the workloads we wanted to measure.
Therefore this patch adds a in-kernel exit timing statistic to the powerpc kvm
code. These statistic is available per vm&vcpu under the kvm debugfs directory.
As this statistic is low, but still some overhead it can be enabled via a
.config entry and should be off by default.
Since this patch touched all powerpc kvm_stat code anyway this code is now
merged and simplified together with the exit timing statistic code (still
working with exit timing disabled in .config).

This patch doesn't yet move all 44x-specific data into the new structure, but
is the first step down that path. In the future we may also want to create a

This introduces a set of core-provided hooks. For 440, some of these are
implemented by booke.c, with the rest in (the new) 44x.c.
Note that these hooks are link-time, not run-time. Since it is not possible to
build a single kernel for both e500 and 440 (for example), using function
pointers would only add overhead.

Commit 2a4aca1144394653269720ffbb5a325a77abd5fa ("powerpc/mm: Split
low level tlb invalidate for nohash processors") changed a call to
_tlbia to _tlbil_all but didn't include the header that defines
_tlbil_all, leading to a build failure on 440 if KVM is enabled.
This fixes it.

Currently, the various forms of low level TLB invalidations are all
implemented in misc_32.S for 32-bit processors, in a fairly scary
mess of #ifdef's and with interesting duplication such as a whole
bunch of code for FSL _tlbie and _tlbia which are no longer used.
This moves things around such that _tlbie is now defined in
hash_low_32.S and is only used by the 32-bit hash code, and all
nohash CPUs use the various _tlbil_* forms that are now moved to
a new file, tlb_nohash_low.S.
I moved all the definitions for that stuff out of
include/asm/tlbflush.h as they are really internal mm stuff, into
mm/mmu_decl.h
The code should have no functional changes. I kept some variants
inline for trivial forms on things like 40x and 8xx.

When the VM exits, we must call put_page() for every page referenced in the
shadow TLB.
Without this patch, we usually leak 30-50 host pages (120 - 200 KiB with 4 KiB
pages). The maximum number of pages leaked is the size of our shadow TLB, 64
pages.

Track which TLB entries need to be written, instead of overwriting everything
below the high water mark. Typically only a single guest TLB entry will be
modified in a single exit.

This functionality is definitely experimental, but is capable of running
unmodified PowerPC 440 Linux kernels as guests on a PowerPC 440 host. (Only
tested with 440EP "Bamboo" guests so far, but with appropriate userspace
support other SoC/board combinations should work.)
See Documentation/powerpc/kvm_440.txt for technical details.
