There is no point in doing the ready_for_nmi_injection/
request_nmi_window dance with user space. First, we don't do this for
in-kernel irqchip anyway, while the code path is the same as for user
space irqchip mode. And second, there is nothing to loose if a pending
NMI is overwritten by another one (in contrast to IRQs where we have to
save the number). Actually, there is even the risk of raising spurious
NMIs this way because the reason for the held-back NMI might already be
handled while processing the first one.
Therefore this patch creates a simplified user space NMI injection
interface, exporting it under KVM_CAP_USER_NMI and dropping the old
KVM_CAP_NMI capability. And this time we also take care to provide the
interface only on archs supporting NMIs via KVM (right now only x86).

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.

This patch adds all needed structures to coalesce MMIOs.
Until an architecture uses it, it is not compiled.
Coalesced MMIO introduces two ioctl() to define where are the MMIO zones that
can be coalesced:
- KVM_REGISTER_COALESCED_MMIO registers a coalesced MMIO zone.
It requests one parameter (struct kvm_coalesced_mmio_zone) which defines
a memory area where MMIOs can be coalesced until the next switch to
user space. The maximum number of MMIO zones is KVM_COALESCED_MMIO_ZONE_MAX.
- KVM_UNREGISTER_COALESCED_MMIO cancels all registered zones inside
the given bounds (bounds are also given by struct kvm_coalesced_mmio_zone).
The userspace client can check kernel coalesced MMIO availability by asking
ioctl(KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION) for the KVM_CAP_COALESCED_MMIO capability.
The ioctl() call to KVM_CAP_COALESCED_MMIO will return 0 if not supported,
or the page offset where will be stored the ring buffer.
The page offset depends on the architecture.
After an ioctl(KVM_RUN), the first page of the KVM memory mapped points to
a kvm_run structure. The offset given by KVM_CAP_COALESCED_MMIO is
an offset to the coalesced MMIO ring expressed in PAGE_SIZE relatively
to the address of the start of th kvm_run structure. The MMIO ring buffer
is defined by the structure kvm_coalesced_mmio_ring.

This patch introduces interpretation of some diagnose instruction intercepts.
Diagnose is our classic architected way of doing a hypercall. This patch
features the following diagnose codes:
- vm storage size, that tells the guest about its memory layout
- time slice end, which is used by the guest to indicate that it waits
for a lock and thus cannot use up its time slice in a useful way
- ipl functions, which a guest can use to reset and reboot itself
In order to implement ipl functions, we also introduce an exit reason that
causes userspace to perform various resets on the virtual machine. All resets
are described in the principles of operation book, except KVM_S390_RESET_IPL
which causes a reboot of the machine.

This patch contains the s390 interrupt subsystem (similar to in kernel apic)
including timer interrupts (similar to in-kernel-pit) and enabled wait
(similar to in kernel hlt).
In order to achieve that, this patch also introduces intercept handling
for instruction intercepts, and it implements load control instructions.
This patch introduces an ioctl KVM_S390_INTERRUPT which is valid for both
the vm file descriptors and the vcpu file descriptors. In case this ioctl is
issued against a vm file descriptor, the interrupt is considered floating.
Floating interrupts may be delivered to any virtual cpu in the configuration.
The following interrupts are supported:
SIGP STOP - interprocessor signal that stops a remote cpu
SIGP SET PREFIX - interprocessor signal that sets the prefix register of a
(stopped) remote cpu
INT EMERGENCY - interprocessor interrupt, usually used to signal need_reshed
and for smp_call_function() in the guest.
PROGRAM INT - exception during program execution such as page fault, illegal
instruction and friends
RESTART - interprocessor signal that starts a stopped cpu
INT VIRTIO - floating interrupt for virtio signalisation
INT SERVICE - floating interrupt for signalisations from the system
service processor
struct kvm_s390_interrupt, which is submitted as ioctl parameter when injecting
an interrupt, also carrys parameter data for interrupts along with the interrupt
type. Interrupts on s390 usually have a state that represents the current
operation, or identifies which device has caused the interruption on s390.
kvm_s390_handle_wait() does handle waitpsw in two flavors: in case of a
disabled wait (that is, disabled for interrupts), we exit to userspace. In case
of an enabled wait we set up a timer that equals the cpu clock comparator value
and sleep on a wait queue.

This path introduces handling of sie intercepts in three flavors: Intercepts
are either handled completely in-kernel by kvm_handle_sie_intercept(),
or passed to userspace with corresponding data in struct kvm_run in case
kvm_handle_sie_intercept() returns -ENOTSUPP.
In case of partial execution in kernel with the need of userspace support,
kvm_handle_sie_intercept() may choose to set up struct kvm_run and return
-EREMOTE.
The trivial intercept reasons are handled in this patch:
handle_noop() just does nothing for intercepts that don't require our support
at all
handle_stop() is called when a cpu enters stopped state, and it drops out to
userland after updating our vcpu state
handle_validity() faults in the cpu lowcore if needed, or passes the request
to userland

This patch contains the port of Qumranet's kvm kernel module to IBM zSeries
(aka s390x, mainframe) architecture. It uses the mainframe's virtualization
instruction SIE to run virtual machines with up to 64 virtual CPUs each.
This port is only usable on 64bit host kernels, and can only run 64bit guest
kernels. However, running 31bit applications in guest userspace is possible.
The following source files are introduced by this patch
arch/s390/kvm/kvm-s390.c similar to arch/x86/kvm/x86.c, this implements all
arch callbacks for kvm. __vcpu_run calls back into
sie64a to enter the guest machine context
arch/s390/kvm/sie64a.S assembler function sie64a, which enters guest
context via SIE, and switches world before and after that
include/asm-s390/kvm_host.h contains all vital data structures needed to run

The current cpuid management suffers from several problems, which inhibit
passing through the host feature set to the guest:
- No way to tell which features the host supports
While some features can be supported with no changes to kvm, others
need explicit support. That means kvm needs to vet the feature set
before it is passed to the guest.
- No support for indexed or stateful cpuid entries
Some cpuid entries depend on ecx as well as on eax, or on internal
state in the processor (running cpuid multiple times with the same
input returns different output). The current cpuid machinery only
supports keying on eax.
- No support for save/restore/migrate
The internal state above needs to be exposed to userspace so it can
be saved or migrated.
This patch adds extended cpuid support by means of three new ioctls:
- KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID: get all cpuid entries the host (and kvm)
supports
- KVM_SET_CPUID2: sets the vcpu's cpuid table
- KVM_GET_CPUID2: gets the vcpu's cpuid table, including hidden state
