Before the conversion of the NMI watchdog to perf event, the
watchdog timeout was 5 seconds. Now it is 60 seconds. For my
particular application, netbooks, 5 seconds was a better
timeout. With a short timeout, we catch faults earlier and are
able to send back a panic. With a 60 second timeout, the user is
unlikely to wait and will instead hit the power button, causing
us to lose the panic info.
This change configures the NMI period to watchdog_thresh and
sets the softlockup_thresh to watchdog_thresh * 2. In addition,
watchdog_thresh was reduced to 10 seconds as suggested by Ingo
Molnar.

The setup_smep function gets calle at resume time too, and is thus not a
pure __init function. When marked as __init, it gets thrown out after
the kernel has initialized, and when the kernel is suspended and
resumed, the code will no longer be around, and we'll get a nice "kernel
tried to execute NX-protected page" oops because the page is no longer
marked executable.

The address of the gpte was already calculated and stored in ptep_user
before entering cmpxchg_gpte().
This patch makes cmpxchg_gpte() to use that to make it clear that we
are using the same address during walk_addr_generic().
Note that the unlikely annotations are used to show that the conditions
are something unusual rather than for performance.

This way, we can avoid checking the user space address many times when
we read the guest memory.
Although we can do the same for write if we check which slots are
writable, we do not care write now: reading the guest memory happens
more often than writing.

When we optimized walk_addr_generic() by not using the generic guest
memory reader, we replaced copy_from_user() with get_user():

commit 15e2ac9a43d4d7d08088e404fddf2533a8e7d52e
KVM: MMU: Fix 64-bit paging breakage on x86_32
But as Andi pointed out later, copy_from_user() does the same as
get_user() as long as we give a constant size to it.
So we use copy_from_user() to clean up the code.
The only, noticeable, regression introduced by this is 64-bit gpte
reading on x86_32 hosts needed for PAE guests.
But this can be mitigated by implementing 8-byte get_user() for x86_32,
if needed.

Since the emulator now checks segment limits and access rights, it
generates a lot more accesses to the vmcs segment fields. Undo some
of the performance hit by cacheing those fields in a read-only cache
(the entire cache is invalidated on any write, or on guest exit).

Instead of separate accessors for the segment selector and cached descriptor,
use one accessor for both. This simplifies the code somewhat.

walk_addr_generic() is a hot path and is also hard for the cpu to predict -
some of the parameters (fetch_fault in particular) vary wildly from
invocation to invocation.
Add unlikely() annotations where appropriate; all walk failures are
considered unlikely, as are cases where we have to mark the accessed or
dirty bit, as they are slow paths both in kvm and on real processors.
