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.

If simultaneous NMIs happen, we're supposed to queue the second
and next (collapsing them), but currently we sometimes collapse
the second into the first.
Fix by using a counter for pending NMIs instead of a bool; since
the counter limit depends on whether the processor is currently
in an NMI handler, which can only be checked in vcpu context
(via the NMI mask), we add a new KVM_REQ_NMI to request recalculation
of the counter.

Currently the method of dealing with an IO operation on a bus (PIO/MMIO)
is to call the read or write callback for each device registered
on the bus until we find a device which handles it.
Since the number of devices on a bus can be significant due to ioeventfds
and coalesced MMIO zones, this leads to a lot of overhead on each IO
operation.
Instead of registering devices, we now register ranges which points to
a device. Lookup is done using an efficient bsearch instead of a linear
search.
Performance test was conducted by comparing exit count per second with
200 ioeventfds created on one byte and the guest is trying to access a
different byte continuously (triggering usermode exits).
Before the patch the guest has achieved 259k exits per second, after the
patch the guest does 274k exits per second.

To implement steal time, we need the hypervisor to pass the guest
information about how much time was spent running other processes
outside the VM, while the vcpu had meaningful work to do - halt
time does not count.
This information is acquired through the run_delay field of
delayacct/schedstats infrastructure, that counts time spent in a
runqueue but not running.
Steal time is a per-cpu information, so the traditional MSR-based
infrastructure is used. A new msr, KVM_MSR_STEAL_TIME, holds the
memory area address containing information about steal time
This patch contains the hypervisor part of the steal time infrasructure,
and can be backported independently of the guest portion.

KVM does not hold any references to rcu protected data when it switches
CPU into a guest mode. In fact switching to a guest mode is very similar
to exiting to userspase from rcu point of view. In addition CPU may stay

guest mode as quiescent state, just like we do with user-mode execution.

This patch avoids gcc issuing the following warning when KVM_MAX_VCPUS=1:
warning: array subscript is above array bounds
kvm_for_each_vcpu currently checks to see if the index for the vcpu is
valid /after/ loading it. We don't run into problems because the address
is still inside the enclosing struct kvm and we never deference or write
to it, so this isn't a security issue.
The warning occurs when KVM_MAX_VCPUS=1 because the increment portion of
the loop will *always* cause the loop to load an invalid location since
++idx will always be > 0.
This patch moves the load so that the check occurs before the load and
we don't run into the compiler warning.

The interrupt injection logic looks something like
if an nmi is pending, and nmi injection allowed
inject nmi
if an nmi is pending
request exit on nmi window
the problem is that "nmi is pending" can be set asynchronously by
the PIT; if it happens to fire between the two if statements, we
will request an nmi window even though nmi injection is allowed. On
SVM, this has disasterous results, since it causes eflags.TF to be
set in random guest code.
The fix is simple; make nmi_pending synchronous using the standard
vcpu->requests mechanism; this ensures the code above is completely
synchronous wrt nmi_pending.

Store irq routing table pointer in the irqfd object,
and use that to inject MSI directly without bouncing out to
a kernel thread.
While we touch this structure, rearrange irqfd fields to make fastpath
better packed for better cache utilization.
This also adds some comments about locking rules and rcu usage in code.
Some notes on the design:
- Use pointer into the rt instead of copying an entry,
to make it possible to use rcu, thus side-stepping
locking complexities. We also save some memory this way.
- Old workqueue code is still used for level irqs.
I don't think we DTRT with level anyway, however,
it seems easier to keep the code around as
it has been thought through and debugged, and fix level later than
rip out and re-instate it later.

This improves the IRQ forwarding for assigned devices: By using the
kernel's threaded IRQ scheme, we can get rid of the latency-prone work
queue and simplify the code in the same run.
Moreover, we no longer have to hold assigned_dev_lock while raising the
guest IRQ, which can be a lenghty operation as we may have to iterate
over all VCPUs. The lock is now only used for synchronizing masking vs.
unmasking of INTx-type IRQs, thus is renames to intx_lock.

Currently x86's kvm_vm_ioctl_get_dirty_log() needs to allocate a bitmap by
vmalloc() which will be used in the next logging and this has been causing
bad effect to VGA and live-migration: vmalloc() consumes extra systime,
triggers tlb flush, etc.
This patch resolves this issue by pre-allocating one more bitmap and switching
between two bitmaps during dirty logging.
Performance improvement:
I measured performance for the case of VGA update by trace-cmd.
The result was 1.5 times faster than the original one.
In the case of live migration, the improvement ratio depends on the workload
and the guest memory size. In general, the larger the memory size is the more
benefits we get.
Note:
This does not change other architectures's logic but the allocation size
becomes twice. This will increase the actual memory consumption only when
the new size changes the number of pages allocated by vmalloc().
