Some guests (Solaris) do not set up all four pdptrs, but leave some invalid.
kvm incorrectly treated these as valid page directories, pinning the
wrong pages and causing general confusion.
Fix by checking the valid bit of a pae pdpte. This closes sourceforge bug
1698922.

The expression
sp - 6 < sp
where sp is a u16 is undefined in C since 'sp - 6' is promoted to int,
and signed overflow is undefined in C. gcc 4.2 actually warns about it.
Replace with a simpler test.

With this, we can specify that accesses to one physical memory range will
be remapped to another. This is useful for the vga window at 0xa0000 which
is used as a movable window into the (much larger) framebuffer.

Mapping a guest page to a host page is a common operation. Currently,
one has first to find the memory slot where the page belongs (gfn_to_memslot),
then locate the page itself (gfn_to_page()).
This is clumsy, and also won't work well with memory aliases. So simplify
gfn_to_page() not to require memory slot translation first, and instead do it
internally.

On x86, bit operations operate on a string of bits that can reside in
multiple words. For example, 'btsl %eax, (blah)' will touch the word
at blah+4 if %eax is between 32 and 63.
The x86 emulator compensates for that by advancing the operand address
by (bit offset / BITS_PER_LONG) and truncating the bit offset to the
range (0..BITS_PER_LONG-1). This has a side effect of forcing the operand
size to 8 bytes on 64-bit hosts.
Now, a 32-bit guest goes and fork()s a process. It write protects a stack
page at 0xbffff000 using the 'btr' instruction, at offset 0xffc in the page
table, with bit offset 1 (for the write permission bit).
The emulator now forces the operand size to 8 bytes as previously described,
and an innocent page table update turns into a cross-page-boundary write,
which is assumed by the mmu code not to be a page table, so it doesn't
actually clear the corresponding shadow page table entry. The guest and
host permissions are out of sync and guest memory is corrupted soon
afterwards, leading to guest failure.
Fix by not using BITS_PER_LONG as the word size; instead use the actual
operand size, so we get a 32-bit write in that case.
Note we still have to teach the mmu to handle cross-page-boundary writes
to guest page table; but for now this allows Damn Small Linux 0.4 (2.4.20)
to boot.

When a vcpu is migrated from one cpu to another, its timestamp counter
may lose its monotonic property if the host has unsynced timestamp counters.
This can confuse the guest, sometimes to the point of refusing to boot.
As the rdtsc instruction is rather fast on AMD processors (7-10 cycles),
we can simply record the last host tsc when we drop the cpu, and adjust
the vcpu tsc offset when we detect that we've migrated to a different cpu.

The kvm mmu keeps a shadow page for hugepage pdes; if several such pdes map
the same physical address, they share the same shadow page. This is a fairly
common case (kernel mappings on i386 nonpae Linux, for example).
However, if the two pdes map the same memory but with different permissions, kvm
will happily use the cached shadow page. If the access through the more
permissive pde will occur after the access to the strict pde, an endless pagefault
loop will be generated and the guest will make no progress.
Fix by making the access permissions part of the cache lookup key.
The fix allows Xen pae to boot on kvm and run guest domains.
Thanks to Jeremy Fitzhardinge for reporting the bug and testing the fix.

As usual, we need to mangle segment registers when emulating real mode
as vm86 has specific constraints. We special case the reset segment base,
and set the "access rights" (or descriptor flags) to vm86 comaptible values.
This fixes reboot on vmx.

set_cr0_no_modeswitch() was a hack to avoid corrupting segment registers.
As we now cache the protected mode values on entry to real mode, this
isn't an issue anymore, and it interferes with reboot (which usually _is_
a modeswitch).

The reset state has cs.selector == 0xf000 and cs.base == 0xffff0000,
which aren't compatible with vm86 mode, which is used for real mode
virtualization.
When we create a vcpu, we set cs.base to 0xf0000, but if we get there by
way of a reset, the values are inconsistent and vmx refuses to enter
guest mode.
Workaround by detecting the state and munging it appropriately.

The initial, noncaching, version of the kvm mmu flushed the all nonglobal
shadow page table translations (much like a native tlb flush). The new
implementation flushes translations only when they change, rendering global
pte tracking superfluous.
This removes the unused tracking mechanism and storage space.

The current string pio interface communicates using guest virtual addresses,
relying on userspace to translate addresses and to check permissions. This
interface cannot fully support guest smp, as the check needs to take into
account two pages at one in case an unaligned string transfer straddles a
page boundary.
Change the interface not to communicate guest addresses at all; instead use
a buffer page (mmaped by userspace) and do transfers there. The kernel
manages the virtual to physical translation and can perform the checks
atomically by taking the appropriate locks.

Allow a special signal mask to be used while executing in guest mode. This

Currently, userspace is told about the nature of the last exit from the
guest using two fields, exit_type and exit_reason, where exit_type has
just two enumerations (and no need for more). So fold exit_type into

KVM used to handle cpuid by letting userspace decide what values to
return to the guest. We now handle cpuid completely in the kernel. We
still let userspace decide which values the guest will see by having
userspace set up the value table beforehand (this is necessary to allow
management software to set the cpu features to the least common denominator,
so that live migration can work).
The motivation for the change is that kvm kernel code can be impacted by
cpuid features, for example the x86 emulator.

Currently when passing the a PIO emulation request to userspace, we
rely on userspace updating %rax (on 'in' instructions) and %rsi/%rdi/%rcx
(on string instructions). This (a) requires two extra ioctls for getting
and setting the registers and (b) is unfriendly to non-x86 archs, when
they get kvm ports.
So fix by doing the register fixups in the kernel and passing to userspace
only an abstract description of the PIO to be done.

The Marvell IDE interface on my machine would hit a BUG_ON() in
lib/iomem.c because it was calling ata_pci_init_one() specifying just a
single port on the host, but that would actually end up trying to
initialize two ports, the second one with bogus information.
This fixes "ata_pci_init_one()" so that it actually passes down the
n_ports variable that it got from the low-level driver to the host
allocation routine ("ata_host_alloc_pinfo()"), which results in the ATA
layer actually having the correct port number information.
And in order to make it all work, I also needed to fix a few places that
had incorrectly hard-coded the fact that a host always had exactly two
ports (both ata_pci_init_bmdma() and ata_request_legacy_irqs() would
just always iterate over both ports).

Almost all users of pm_ops only support mem sleep, don't check in .valid and
don't reject any others in .prepare so users can be confused if they check
/sys/power/state, especially when new states are added (these would then
result in s-t-r although they're supposed to be something different).
This patch implements a generic pm_valid_only_mem function that is then
exported for users and puts it to use in almost all existing pm_ops.
