d881e6f6cf KVM: VMX: Return correct CPL during transition to protected mode
In protected mode, the CPL is defined as the lower two bits of CS, as set by
the last far jump.  But during the transition to protected mode, there is no
last far jump, so we need to return zero (the inherited real mode CPL).

Fix by reading CPL from the cache during the transition.  This isn't 100%
correct since we don't set the CPL cache on a far jump, but since protected
mode transition will always jump to a segment with RPL=0, it will always
work.

e676505ac9 KVM: MMU: Force cr3 reload with two dimensional paging on mov cr3 emulation
Currently the MMU's ->new_cr3() callback does nothing when guest paging
is disabled or when two-dimentional paging (e.g. EPT on Intel) is active.
This means that an emulated write to cr3 can be lost; kvm_set_cr3() will
write vcpu-arch.cr3, but the GUEST_CR3 field in the VMCS will retain its
old value and this is what the guest sees.

This bug did not have any effect until now because:
- with unrestricted guest, or with svm, we never emulate a mov cr3 instruction
- without unrestricted guest, and with paging enabled, we also never emulate a
  mov cr3 instruction
- without unrestricted guest, but with paging disabled, the guest's cr3 is
  ignored until the guest enables paging; at this point the value from arch.cr3
  is loaded correctly my the mov cr0 instruction which turns on paging

However, the patchset that enables big real mode causes us to emulate mov cr3
instructions in protected mode sometimes (when guest state is not virtualizable
by vmx); this mov cr3 is effectively ignored and will crash the guest.

The fix is to make nonpaging_new_cr3() call mmu_free_roots() to force a cr3
reload.  This is awkward because now all the new_cr3 callbacks to the same
thing, and because mmu_free_roots() is somewhat of an overkill; but fixing
that is more complicated and will be done after this minimal fix.

Observed in the Window XP 32-bit installer while bringing up secondary vcpus.

If last_boosted_vcpu == 0, then we fall through all test cases and
may end up with all VCPUs pouncing on vcpu 0.  With a large enough
guest, this can result in enormous runqueue lock contention, which
can prevent vcpu0 from running, leading to a livelock.

f9808b7fd4 apic: fix kvm build on UP without IOAPIC
On UP i386, when APIC is disabled
# CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC is not set
# CONFIG_PCI_IOAPIC is not set

code looking at apicdrivers never has any effect but it
still gets compiled in. In particular, this causes
build failures with kvm, but it generally bloats the kernel
unnecessarily.

Fix by defining both __apicdrivers and __apicdrivers_end
to be NULL when CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC is unset: I verified
that as the result any loop scanning __apicdrivers gets optimized out by
the compiler.

Warning: a .config with apic disabled doesn't seem to boot
for me (even without this patch). Still verifying why,
meanwhile this patch is compile-tested only.

ae7a2a3fb6 KVM: host side for eoi optimization
Implementation of PV EOI using shared memory.
This reduces the number of exits an interrupt
causes as much as by half.

The idea is simple: there's a bit, per APIC, in guest memory,
that tells the guest that it does not need EOI.
We set it before injecting an interrupt and clear
before injecting a nested one. Guest tests it using
a test and clear operation - this is necessary
so that host can detect interrupt nesting -
and if set, it can skip the EOI MSR.

There's a new MSR to set the address of said register
in guest memory. Otherwise not much changed:
- Guest EOI is not required
- Register is tested & ISR is automatically cleared on exit

For testing results see description of previous patch
'kvm_para: guest side for eoi avoidance'.

8680b94b0e KVM: optimize ISR lookups
We perform ISR lookups twice: during interrupt
injection and on EOI. Typical workloads only have
a single bit set there. So we can avoid ISR scans by
1. counting bits as we set/clear them in ISR
2. on set, caching the injected vector number
3. on clear, invalidating the cache

The real purpose of this is enabling PV EOI
which needs to quickly validate the vector.
But non PV guests also benefit: with this patch,
and without interrupt nesting, apic_find_highest_isr
will always return immediately without scanning ISR.
