shared_msr_global saved host value of relevant MSRs, but it have an
assumption that all MSRs it tracked shared the value across the different
CPUs. It's not true with some MSRs, e.g. MSR_TSC_AUX.
Extend it to per CPU to provide the support of MSR_TSC_AUX, and more
alike MSRs.
Notice now the shared_msr_global still have one assumption: it can only deal
with the MSRs that won't change in host after KVM module loaded.

we copy them to the vcpu structure. In preparation for making the set of

update_transition_efer() masks out some efer bits when deciding whether
to switch the msr during guest entry; for example, NX is emulated using the
mmu so we don't need to disable it, and LMA/LME are handled by the hardware.
However, with shared msrs, the comparison is made against a stale value;
at the time of the guest switch we may be running with another guest's efer.
Fix by deferring the mask/compare to the actual point of guest entry.

The various syscall-related MSRs are fairly expensive to switch. Currently
we switch them on every vcpu preemption, which is far too often:
- if we're switching to a kernel thread (idle task, threaded interrupt,
kernel-mode virtio server (vhost-net), for example) and back, then
there's no need to switch those MSRs since kernel threasd won't
be exiting to userspace.
- if we're switching to another guest running an identical OS, most likely
those MSRs will have the same value, so there's little point in reloading
them.
- if we're running the same OS on the guest and host, the MSRs will have
identical values and reloading is unnecessary.
This patch uses the new user return notifiers to implement last-minute
switching, and checks the msr values to avoid unnecessary reloading.

When we migrate a kvm guest that uses pvclock between two hosts, we may
suffer a large skew. This is because there can be significant differences
between the monotonic clock of the hosts involved. When a new host with
a much larger monotonic time starts running the guest, the view of time
will be significantly impacted.
Situation is much worse when we do the opposite, and migrate to a host with
a smaller monotonic clock.
This proposed ioctl will allow userspace to inform us what is the monotonic
clock value in the source host, so we can keep the time skew short, and
more importantly, never goes backwards. Userspace may also need to trigger
the current data, since from the first migration onwards, it won't be
reflected by a simple call to clock_gettime() anymore.

Commit 705c5323 opened the doors of hell by unconditionally injecting
single-step flags as long as guest_debug signaled this. This doesn't
work when the guest branches into some interrupt or exception handler
and triggers a vmexit with flag reloading.
Fix it by saving cs:rip when user space requests single-stepping and

Support for Xen PV-on-HVM guests can be implemented almost entirely in
userspace, except for handling one annoying MSR that maps a Xen
hypercall blob into guest address space.
A generic mechanism to delegate MSR writes to userspace seems overkill
and risks encouraging similar MSR abuse in the future. Thus this patch
adds special support for the Xen HVM MSR.
I implemented a new ioctl, KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG, that lets userspace tell
KVM which MSR the guest will write to, as well as the starting address
and size of the hypercall blobs (one each for 32-bit and 64-bit) that
userspace has loaded from files. When the guest writes to the MSR, KVM
copies one page of the blob from userspace to the guest.
I've tested this patch with a hacked-up version of Gerd's userspace
code, booting a number of guests (CentOS 5.3 i386 and x86_64, and
FreeBSD 8.0-RC1 amd64) and exercising PV network and block devices.

They are globals, not clearly protected by any ordering or locking, and
vulnerable to various startup races.
Instead, for variable TSC machines, register the cpufreq notifier and get
the TSC frequency directly from the cpufreq machinery. Not only is it
always right, it is also perfectly accurate, as no error prone measurement
is required.
On such machines, when a new CPU online is brought online, it isn't clear what
frequency it will start with, and it may not correspond to the reference, thus
in hardware_enable we clear the cpu_tsc_khz variable to zero and make sure
it is set before running on a VCPU.

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.
