831bf664e9 KVM: Refactor and simplify kvm_dev_ioctl_get_supported_cpuid
This patch cleans and simplifies kvm_dev_ioctl_get_supported_cpuid by using a table
instead of duplicating code as Avi suggested.

This patch also fixes a bug where kvm_dev_ioctl_get_supported_cpuid would return
-E2BIG when amount of entries passed was just right.

fb215366b3 KVM: expose latest Intel cpu new features (BMI1/BMI2/FMA/AVX2) to guest
Intel latest cpu add 6 new features, refer http://software.intel.com/file/36945
The new feature cpuid listed as below:

1. FMA		CPUID.EAX=01H:ECX.FMA[bit 12]
2. MOVBE	CPUID.EAX=01H:ECX.MOVBE[bit 22]
3. BMI1		CPUID.EAX=07H,ECX=0H:EBX.BMI1[bit 3]
4. AVX2		CPUID.EAX=07H,ECX=0H:EBX.AVX2[bit 5]
5. BMI2		CPUID.EAX=07H,ECX=0H:EBX.BMI2[bit 8]
6. LZCNT	CPUID.EAX=80000001H:ECX.LZCNT[bit 5]

This patch expose these features to guest.
Among them, FMA/MOVBE/LZCNT has already been defined, MOVBE/LZCNT has
already been exposed.

This patch defines BMI1/AVX2/BMI2, and exposes FMA/BMI1/AVX2/BMI2 to guest.

95d4c16ce7 KVM: Optimize dirty logging by rmap_write_protect()
Currently, write protecting a slot needs to walk all the shadow pages
and checks ones which have a pte mapping a page in it.

The walk is overly heavy when dirty pages in that slot are not so many
and checking the shadow pages would result in unwanted cache pollution.

To mitigate this problem, we use rmap_write_protect() and check only
the sptes which can be reached from gfns marked in the dirty bitmap
when the number of dirty pages are less than that of shadow pages.

This criterion is reasonable in its meaning and worked well in our test:
write protection became some times faster than before when the ratio of
dirty pages are low and was not worse even when the ratio was near the
criterion.

Note that the locking for this write protection becomes fine grained.
The reason why this is safe is descripted in the comments.

argument to avoid this.

51cfe38ea5 KVM: nVMX: Fix warning-causing idt-vectoring-info behavior
When L0 wishes to inject an interrupt while L2 is running, it emulates an exit
to L1 with EXIT_REASON_EXTERNAL_INTERRUPT. This was explained in the original
nVMX patch 23, titled "Correct handling of interrupt injection".

Unfortunately, it is possible (though rare) that at this point there is valid
idt_vectoring_info in vmcs02. For example, L1 injected some interrupt to L2,
and when L2 tried to run this interrupt's handler, it got a page fault - so
it returns the original interrupt vector in idt_vectoring_info. The problem
is that if this is the case, we cannot exit to L1 with EXTERNAL_INTERRUPT
like we wished to, because the VMX spec guarantees that idt_vectoring_info
and exit_reason_external_interrupt can never happen together. This is not
just specified in the spec - a KVM L1 actually prints a kernel warning
"unexpected, valid vectoring info" if we violate this guarantee, and some
users noticed these warnings in L1's logs.

In order to better emulate a processor, which would never return the external
interrupt and the idt-vectoring-info together, we need to separate the two
injection steps: First, complete L1's injection into L2 (i.e., enter L2,
injecting to it the idt-vectoring-info); Second, after entry into L2 succeeds
and it exits back to L0, exit to L1 with the EXIT_REASON_EXTERNAL_INTERRUPT.
Most of this is already in the code - the only change we need is to remain
in L2 (and not exit to L1) in this case.

Note that the previous patch ensures (by using KVM_REQ_IMMEDIATE_EXIT) that
although we do enter L2 first, it will exit immediately after processing its
injection, allowing us to promptly inject to L1.

Note how we test vmcs12->idt_vectoring_info_field; This isn't really the
vmcs12 value (we haven't exited to L1 yet, so vmcs12 hasn't been updated),
but rather the place we save, at the end of vmx_vcpu_run, the vmcs02 value
of this field. This was explained in patch 25 ("Correct handling of idt
vectoring info") of the original nVMX patch series.

Thanks to Dave Allan and to Federico Simoncelli for reporting this bug,
to Abel Gordon for helping me figure out the solution, and to Avi Kivity
for helping to improve it.

d6185f20a0 KVM: nVMX: Add KVM_REQ_IMMEDIATE_EXIT
This patch adds a new vcpu->requests bit, KVM_REQ_IMMEDIATE_EXIT.
This bit requests that when next entering the guest, we should run it only
for as little as possible, and exit again.

We use this new option in nested VMX: When L1 launches L2, but L0 wishes L1
to continue running so it can inject an event to it, we unfortunately cannot
just pretend to have run L2 for a little while - We must really launch L2,
otherwise certain one-off vmcs12 parameters (namely, L1 injection into L2)
will be lost. So the existing code runs L2 in this case.
But L2 could potentially run for a long time until it exits, and the
injection into L1 will be delayed. The new KVM_REQ_IMMEDIATE_EXIT allows us
to request that L2 will be entered, as necessary, but will exit as soon as
possible after entry.

Our implementation of this request uses smp_send_reschedule() to send a
self-IPI, with interrupts disabled. The interrupts remain disabled until the
guest is entered, and then, after the entry is complete (often including
processing an injection and jumping to the relevant handler), the physical
interrupt is noticed and causes an exit.

On recent Intel processors, we could have achieved the same goal by using
MTF instead of a self-IPI. Another technique worth considering in the future
is to use VM_EXIT_ACK_INTR_ON_EXIT and a highest-priority vector IPI - to
slightly improve performance by avoiding the useless interrupt handler
which ends up being called when smp_send_reschedule() is used.

RC6 fails again.

This patch turns them off on SNB while leaving them on for IVB.
