When mmu_set_spte() checks if a page related to spte should be release as
dirty or clean, it check if the shadow pte was writeble, but in case
rmap_write_protect() is called called it is possible for shadow ptes that were
writeble to become readonly and therefor mmu_set_spte will release the pages
as clean.
This patch fix this issue by marking the page as dirty inside
rmap_write_protect().

If we populate a shadow pte due to a fault (and not speculatively due to a
pte write) then we can set the accessed bit on it, as we know it will be
set immediately on the next guest instruction. This saves a read-modify-write
operation.

include/linux/kvm.h defines struct kvm_dirty_log to
[...]
union {
void __user *dirty_bitmap; /* one bit per page */
__u64 padding;
};
__user requires compiler.h to compile. Currently, this works on x86
only coincidentally due to other include files. This patch makes
kvm.h compile in all cases.

LSB is cleared) to the system time msr before shutting down
the machine for kexec.
Without it, we can have a random memory location being written

In the current inject_page_fault path KVM only checks if there is another PF
pending and injects a DF then. But it has to check for a pending DF too to
detect a shutdown condition in the VCPU. If this is not detected the VCPU goes
to a PF -> DF -> PF loop when it should triple fault. This patch detects this
condition and handles it with an KVM_SHUTDOWN exit to userspace.

Mark zapped root pagetables as invalid and ignore such pages during lookup.
This is a problem with the cr3-target feature, where a zapped root table fools
the faulting code into creating a read-only mapping. The result is a lockup
if the instruction can't be emulated.

This is the guest part of kvm clock implementation
It does not do tsc-only timing, as tsc can have deltas
between cpus, and it did not seem worthy to me to keep
adjusting them.
We do use it, however, for fine-grained adjustment.
Other than that, time comes from the host.

This is the host part of kvm clocksource implementation. As it does
not include clockevents, it is a fairly simple implementation. We
only have to register a per-vcpu area, and start writing to it periodically.
The area is binary compatible with xen, as we use the same shadow_info
structure.
