The following code flow is unnecessary:
if (largepage)
was_rmapped = is_large_pte(*shadow_pte);
else
was_rmapped = 1;
The is_large_pte() function will always evaluate to one here because the
(largepage && !is_large_pte) case is already handled in the first
if-clause. So we can remove this check and set was_rmapped to one always
here.

kvmclock currently falls apart on machines without constant tsc.
This patch fixes it. Changes:
* keep tsc frequency in a per-cpu variable.
* handle kvmclock update using a new request flag, thus checking
whenever we need an update each time we enter guest context.
* use a cpufreq notifier to track frequency changes and force
kvmclock updates.
* send ipis to kick cpu out of guest context if needed to make
sure the guest doesn't see stale values.

Currently KVM has a static routing from GSI numbers to interrupts (namely,
0-15 are mapped 1:1 to both PIC and IOAPIC, and 16:23 are mapped 1:1 to
the IOAPIC). This is insufficient for several reasons:
- HPET requires non 1:1 mapping for the timer interrupt
- MSIs need a new method to assign interrupt numbers and dispatch them
- ACPI APIC mode needs to be able to reassign the PCI LINK interrupts to the
ioapics
This patch implements an interrupt routing table (as a linked list, but this
can be easily changed) and a userspace interface to replace the table. The
routing table is initialized according to the current hardwired mapping.

VMX initializes the TSC offset for each vcpu at different times, and
also reinitializes it for vcpus other than 0 on APIC SIPI message.
This bug causes the TSC's to appear unsynchronized in the guest, even if
the host is good.
Older Linux kernels don't handle the situation very well, so
gettimeofday is likely to go backwards in time:

If cr4.pge is cleared, we ought to treat any ptes in the page as non-global.
This allows us to remove the check from set_spte().
Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
Don't allow a vcpu with cr4.pge cleared to use a shadow page created with
cr4.pge set; this might cause a cr3 switch not to sync ptes that have the
global bit set (the global bit has no effect if !cr4.pge).
This can only occur on smp with different cr4.pge settings for different
vcpus (since a cr4 change will resync the shadow ptes), but there's no
cost to being correct here.

Instead of "calculating" it on every shadow page allocation, set it once
when switching modes, and copy it when allocating pages.

So far KVM only had basic x86 debug register support, once introduced to
realize guest debugging that way. The guest itself was not able to use
those registers.
This patch now adds (almost) full support for guest self-debugging via
hardware registers. It refactors the code, moving generic parts out of
SVM (VMX was already cleaned up by the KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG patches), and
it ensures that the registers are properly switched between host and
guest.
This patch also prepares debug register usage by the host. The latter
will (once wired-up by the following patch) allow for hardware
breakpoints/watchpoints in guest code. If this is enabled, the guest
will only see faked debug registers without functionality, but with
content reflecting the guest's modifications.
Tested on Intel only, but SVM /should/ work as well, but who knows...
Known limitations: Trapping on tss switch won't work - most probably on
Intel.
Credits also go to Joerg Roedel - I used his once posted debugging
series as platform for this patch.

When single-stepping over STI and MOV SS, we must clear the
corresponding interruptibility bits in the guest state. Otherwise
vmentry fails as it then expects bit 14 (BS) in pending debug exceptions
being set, but that's not correct for the guest debugging case.
Note that clearing those bits is safe as we check for interruptibility
based on the original state and do not inject interrupts or NMIs if
guest interruptibility was blocked.

This rips out the support for KVM_DEBUG_GUEST and introduces a new IOCTL
instead: KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG. The IOCTL payload consists of a generic
part, controlling the "main switch" and the single-step feature. The
arch specific part adds an x86 interface for intercepting both types of
debug exceptions separately and re-injecting them when the host was not
interested. Moveover, the foundation for guest debugging via debug
registers is layed.
To signal breakpoint events properly back to userland, an arch-specific
data block is now returned along KVM_EXIT_DEBUG. For x86, the arch block
contains the PC, the debug exception, and relevant debug registers to
tell debug events properly apart.
The availability of this new interface is signaled by
KVM_CAP_SET_GUEST_DEBUG. Empty stubs for not yet supported archs are
provided.
Note that both SVM and VTX are supported, but only the latter was tested
yet. Based on the experience with all those VTX corner case, I would be
fairly surprised if SVM will work out of the box.

allow write to efer
else
deny write to efer
Old userspaces mask the SVM capability bit, so they don't break.

So basically it is implemented the same way, a normal CPU would do it.
