Since the mmu uses different shadow pages for dirty large pages and clean
large pages, this allows the mmu to drop ptes that are now invalid.

By forcing clean huge pages to be read-only, we have separate roles
for the shadow of a clean large page and the shadow of a dirty large
page. This is necessary because different ptes will be instantiated
for the two cases, even for read faults.

Some of the MMU functions take a struct kvm_vcpu even though they affect all
VCPUs. This patch cleans up some of them to instead take a struct kvm. This
makes things a bit more clear.
The main thing that was confusing me was whether certain functions need to be
called on all VCPUs.

Move kvm_create_lapic() into kvm_vcpu_init(), rather than having svm

Instead of the asymetry of kvm_free_apic, implement kvm_free_lapic().

from kvm_main.c, because we do that in kvm_free_apic().
Also:
1) kvm_vcpu_uninit should be the reverse order from kvm_vcpu_init.
2) Don't set apic->regs_page to zero before freeing apic.

When kvm uses user-allocated pages in the future for the guest, we won't
be able to use page->private for rmap, since page->rmap is reserved for
the filesystem. So we move the rmap base pointers to the memory slot.
A side effect of this is that we need to store the gfn of each gpte in
the shadow pages, since the memory slot is addressed by gfn, instead of
hfn like struct page.

When we allow guest page faults to reach the guests directly, we lose
the fault tracking which allows us to detect demand paging. So we provide
an alternate mechnism by clearing the accessed bit when we set a pte, and
checking it later to see if the guest actually used it.
Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
There are two classes of page faults trapped by kvm:
- host page faults, where the fault is needed to allow kvm to install
the shadow pte or update the guest accessed and dirty bits
- guest page faults, where the guest has faulted and kvm simply injects
the fault back into the guest to handle
The second class, guest page faults, is pure overhead. We can eliminate
some of it on vmx using the following evil trick:
- when we set up a shadow page table entry, if the corresponding guest pte
is not present, set up the shadow pte as not present
- if the guest pte _is_ present, mark the shadow pte as present but also
set one of the reserved bits in the shadow pte
- tell the vmx hardware not to trap faults which have the present bit clear
With this, normal page-not-present faults go directly to the guest,
bypassing kvm entirely.
Unfortunately, this trick only works on Intel hardware, as AMD lacks a
way to discriminate among page faults based on error code. It is also
a little risky since it uses reserved bits which might become unreserved
in the future, so a module parameter is provided to disable it.

KVM avoids reloading the efer msr when the difference between the guest
and host values consist of the long mode bits (which are switched by
hardware) and the NX bit (which is emulated by the KVM MMU).
This patch also allows KVM to ignore SCE (syscall enable) when the guest
is running in 32-bit mode. This is because the syscall instruction is
not available in 32-bit mode on Intel processors, so the SCE bit is
effectively meaningless.

This patch refactors the current hypercall infrastructure to better
support live migration and SMP. It eliminates the hypercall page by
trapping the UD exception that would occur if you used the wrong hypercall
instruction for the underlying architecture and replacing it with the right
one lazily.
A fall-out of this patch is that the unhandled hypercalls no longer trap to
userspace. There is very little reason though to use a hypercall to
communicate with userspace as PIO or MMIO can be used. There is no code
in tree that uses userspace hypercalls.
