Kernel time, which advances in discrete steps may progress much slower
than TSC. As a result, when kvmclock is adjusted to a new base, the
apparent time to the guest, which runs at a much higher, nsec scaled
rate based on the current TSC, may have already been observed to have
a larger value (kernel_ns + scaled tsc) than the value to which we are
setting it (kernel_ns + 0).
We must instead compute the clock as potentially observed by the guest
for kernel_ns to make sure it does not go backwards.

If there are active VCPUs which are marked as belonging to
a particular hardware CPU, request a clock sync for them when
enabling hardware; the TSC could be desynchronized on a newly
arriving CPU, and we need to recompute guests system time
relative to boot after a suspend event.
This covers both cases.
Note that it is acceptable to take the spinlock, as either
no other tasks will be running and no locks held (BSP after
resume), or other tasks will be guaranteed to drop the lock
relatively quickly (AP on CPU_STARTING).
Noting we now get clock synchronization requests for VCPUs
which are starting up (or restarting), it is tempting to
attempt to remove the arch/x86/kvm/x86.c CPU hot-notifiers
at this time, however it is not correct to do so; they are
required for systems with non-constant TSC as the frequency
may not be known immediately after the processor has started
until the cpufreq driver has had a chance to run and query
the chipset.
Updated: implement better locking semantics for hardware_enable
Removed the hack of dropping and retaking the lock by adding the
semantic that we always hold kvm_lock when hardware_enable is
called. The one place that doesn't need to worry about it is
resume, as resuming a frozen CPU, the spinlock won't be taken.

Add a helper function to compute the kernel time and convert nanoseconds
back to CPU specific cycles. Note that these must not be called in preemptible
context, as that would mean the kernel could enter software suspend state,
which would cause non-atomic operation.
Also, convert the KVM_SET_CLOCK / KVM_GET_CLOCK ioctls to use the kernel
time helper, these should be bootbased as well.

When CPUs with unstable TSCs enter deep C-state, TSC may stop
running. This causes us to require resynchronization. Since

worst by forcing re-compensation for it at every point the VCPU

arch.n_alloc_mmu_pages is a poor choice of name. This value truly
means, "the number of pages which _may_ be allocated". But,
reading the name, "n_alloc_mmu_pages" implies "the number of allocated
mmu pages", which is dead wrong.
It's really the high watermark, so let's give it a name to match:
nr_max_mmu_pages. This change will make the next few patches

KVM: fix poison overwritten caused by using wrong xstate size
fpu.state is allocated from task_xstate_cachep, the size of task_xstate_cachep
is xstate_size. xstate_size is set from cpuid instruction, which is often
smaller than sizeof(struct xsave_struct). kvm is using sizeof(struct xsave_struct)
to fill in/out fpu.state.xsave, as what we allocated for fpu.state is
xstate_size, kernel will write out of memory and caused poison/redzone/padding

When shadow pages are in use sometimes KVM try to emulate an instruction
when it accesses a shadowed page. If emulation fails KVM un-shadows the
page and reenter guest to allow vcpu to execute the instruction. If page
is not in shadow page hash KVM assumes that this was attempt to do MMIO
and reports emulation failure to userspace since there is no way to fix
the situation. This logic has a race though. If two vcpus tries to write
to the same shadowed page simultaneously both will enter emulator, but
only one of them will find the page in shadow page hash since the one who
founds it also removes it from there, so another cpu will report failure
to userspace and will abort the guest.
Fix this by checking (in addition to checking shadowed page hash) that
page that caused the emulation belongs to valid memory slot. If it is
then reenter the guest to allow vcpu to reexecute the instruction.
