Rather than outright replacing the entire spinlock implementation in
order to paravirtualize it, keep the ticket lock implementation but add
a couple of pvops hooks on the slow patch (long spin on lock, unlocking
a contended lock).
Ticket locks have a number of nice properties, but they also have some
surprising behaviours in virtual environments. They enforce a strict
FIFO ordering on cpus trying to take a lock; however, if the hypervisor
scheduler does not schedule the cpus in the correct order, the system can
waste a huge amount of time spinning until the next cpu can take the lock.
(See Thomas Friebel's talk "Prevent Guests from Spinning Around"
http://www.xen.org/files/xensummitboston08/LHP.pdf for more details.)
To address this, we add two hooks:
- __ticket_spin_lock which is called after the cpu has been
spinning on the lock for a significant number of iterations but has
failed to take the lock (presumably because the cpu holding the lock
has been descheduled). The lock_spinning pvop is expected to block
the cpu until it has been kicked by the current lock holder.
- __ticket_spin_unlock, which on releasing a contended lock
(there are more cpus with tail tickets), it looks to see if the next
cpu is blocked and wakes it if so.
When compiled with CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS disabled, a set of stub
functions causes all the extra code to go away.

Moves the relocation handling into C, after decompression. This requires
that the decompressed size is passed to the decompression routine as
well so that relocations can be found. Only kernels that need relocation

If we let L1 use EPT, we should probably also support the INVEPT instruction.
In our current nested EPT implementation, when L1 changes its EPT table
for L2 (i.e., EPT12), L0 modifies the shadow EPT table (EPT02), and in
the course of this modification already calls INVEPT. But if last level
of shadow page is unsync not all L1's changes to EPT12 are intercepted,
which means roots need to be synced when L1 calls INVEPT. Global INVEPT
should not be different since roots are synced by kvm_mmu_load() each
time EPTP02 changes.

KVM's existing shadow MMU code already supports nested TDP. To use it, we
need to set up a new "MMU context" for nested EPT, and create a few callbacks
for it (nested_ept_*()). This context should also use the EPT versions of
the page table access functions (defined in the previous patch).
Then, we need to switch back and forth between this nested context and the
regular MMU context when switching between L1 and L2 (when L1 runs this L2
with EPT).

This is the first patch in a series which adds nested EPT support to KVM's
nested VMX. Nested EPT means emulating EPT for an L1 guest so that L1 can use
EPT when running a nested guest L2. When L1 uses EPT, it allows the L2 guest
to set its own cr3 and take its own page faults without either of L0 or L1
getting involved. This often significanlty improves L2's performance over the
previous two alternatives (shadow page tables over EPT, and shadow page
tables over shadow page tables).
This patch adds EPT support to paging_tmpl.h.
paging_tmpl.h contains the code for reading and writing page tables. The code
for 32-bit and 64-bit tables is very similar, but not identical, so
paging_tmpl.h is #include'd twice in mmu.c, once with PTTTYPE=32 and once
with PTTYPE=64, and this generates the two sets of similar functions.
There are subtle but important differences between the format of EPT tables
and that of ordinary x86 64-bit page tables, so for nested EPT we need a
third set of functions to read the guest EPT table and to write the shadow
EPT table.
So this patch adds third PTTYPE, PTTYPE_EPT, which creates functions (prefixed
with "EPT") which correctly read and write EPT tables.

kvm_set_cr3() attempts to check if the new cr3 is a valid guest physical
address. The problem is that with nested EPT, cr3 is an *L2* physical
address, not an L1 physical address as this test expects.
As the comment above this test explains, it isn't necessary, and doesn't
correspond to anything a real processor would do. So this patch removes it.
Note that this wrong test could have also theoretically caused problems
in nested NPT, not just in nested EPT. However, in practice, the problem
was avoided: nested_svm_vmexit()/vmrun() do not call kvm_set_cr3 in the
nested NPT case, and instead set the vmcb (and arch.cr3) directly, thus
circumventing the problem. Additional potential calls to the buggy function
are avoided in that we don't trap cr3 modifications when nested NPT is
enabled. However, because in nested VMX we did want to use kvm_set_cr3()
(as requested in Avi Kivity's review of the original nested VMX patches),
we can't avoid this problem and need to fix it.

The existing code for handling cr3 and related VMCS fields during nested
exit and entry wasn't correct in all cases:
If L2 is allowed to control cr3 (and this is indeed the case in nested EPT),
during nested exit we must copy the modified cr3 from vmcs02 to vmcs12, and
we forgot to do so. This patch adds this copy.
If L0 isn't controlling cr3 when running L2 (i.e., L0 is using EPT), and
whoever does control cr3 (L1 or L2) is using PAE, the processor might have
saved PDPTEs and we should also save them in vmcs12 (and restore later).

Recent KVM, since http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kvm/2010/5/2/6261577
switch the EFER MSR when EPT is used and the host and guest have different
NX bits. So if we add support for nested EPT (L1 guest using EPT to run L2)
and want to be able to run recent KVM as L1, we need to allow L1 to use this
EFER switching feature.
To do this EFER switching, KVM uses VM_ENTRY/EXIT_LOAD_IA32_EFER if available,
and if it isn't, it uses the generic VM_ENTRY/EXIT_MSR_LOAD. This patch adds
support for the former (the latter is still unsupported).
Nested entry and exit emulation (prepare_vmcs_02 and load_vmcs12_host_state,
respectively) already handled VM_ENTRY/EXIT_LOAD_IA32_EFER correctly. So all
that's left to do in this patch is to properly advertise this feature to L1.
Note that vmcs12's VM_ENTRY/EXIT_LOAD_IA32_EFER are emulated by L0, by using
vmx_set_efer (which itself sets one of several vmcs02 fields), so we always
support this feature, regardless of whether the host supports it.

We try to handle the hypervisor compatibility mode by detecting hypervisor
through a specific order. This is not robust, since hypervisors may implement
each others features.
This patch tries to handle this situation by always choosing the last one in the
CPUID leaves. This is done by letting .detect() return a priority instead of
true/false and just re-using the CPUID leaf where the signature were found as
the priority (or 1 if it was found by DMI). Then we can just pick hypervisor who
has the highest priority. Other sophisticated detection method could also be
implemented on top.
