As suggested by Christian, we should expose headers to user space with
information that might be valuable there. The s390 virtio interface is
one of those cases. It defines an ABI between hypervisor and guest, so
it should be exposed to user space.

Kernel time, which advances in discrete steps may progress much slower
than TSC. As a result, when kvmclock is adjusted to a new base, the
apparent time to the guest, which runs at a much higher, nsec scaled
rate based on the current TSC, may have already been observed to have
a larger value (kernel_ns + scaled tsc) than the value to which we are
setting it (kernel_ns + 0).
We must instead compute the clock as potentially observed by the guest
for kernel_ns to make sure it does not go backwards.

If there are active VCPUs which are marked as belonging to
a particular hardware CPU, request a clock sync for them when
enabling hardware; the TSC could be desynchronized on a newly
arriving CPU, and we need to recompute guests system time
relative to boot after a suspend event.
This covers both cases.
Note that it is acceptable to take the spinlock, as either
no other tasks will be running and no locks held (BSP after
resume), or other tasks will be guaranteed to drop the lock
relatively quickly (AP on CPU_STARTING).
Noting we now get clock synchronization requests for VCPUs
which are starting up (or restarting), it is tempting to
attempt to remove the arch/x86/kvm/x86.c CPU hot-notifiers
at this time, however it is not correct to do so; they are
required for systems with non-constant TSC as the frequency
may not be known immediately after the processor has started
until the cpufreq driver has had a chance to run and query
the chipset.
Updated: implement better locking semantics for hardware_enable
Removed the hack of dropping and retaking the lock by adding the
semantic that we always hold kvm_lock when hardware_enable is
called. The one place that doesn't need to worry about it is
resume, as resuming a frozen CPU, the spinlock won't be taken.

Add a helper function to compute the kernel time and convert nanoseconds
back to CPU specific cycles. Note that these must not be called in preemptible
context, as that would mean the kernel could enter software suspend state,
which would cause non-atomic operation.

kvm->arch.n_max_mmu_pages at kvm_mmu_free_page/kvm_mmu_alloc_page, which is called
by kvm_mmu_commit_zap_page. So the kvm->arch.n_used_mmu_pages or
kvm_mmu_available_pages(vcpu->kvm) is unchanged after kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page(),
This caused kvm_mmu_change_mmu_pages/__kvm_mmu_free_some_pages loops forever.

Of slab shrinkers, the VM code says:
* Note that 'shrink' will be passed nr_to_scan == 0 when the VM is
* querying the cache size, so a fastpath for that case is appropriate.
and it *means* it. Look at how it calls the shrinkers:
nr_before = (*shrinker->shrink)(0, gfp_mask);
shrink_ret = (*shrinker->shrink)(this_scan, gfp_mask);
So, if you do anything stupid in your shrinker, the VM will doubly
punish you.
The mmu_shrink() function takes the global kvm_lock, then acquires
every VM's kvm->mmu_lock in sequence. If we have 100 VMs, then
we're going to take 101 locks. We do it twice, so each call takes
202 locks. If we're under memory pressure, we can have each cpu
trying to do this. It can get really hairy, and we've seen lock
spinning in mmu_shrink() be the dominant entry in profiles.
This is guaranteed to optimize at least half of those lock
aquisitions away. It removes the need to take any of the locks
when simply trying to count objects.
A 'percpu_counter' can be a large object, but we only have one
of these for the entire system. There are not any better
alternatives at the moment, especially ones that handle CPU
hotplug.

Doing this makes the code much more readable. That's
borne out by the fact that this patch removes code. "used"
also happens to be the number that we need to return back to
the slab code when our shrinker gets called. Keeping this
value as opposed to free makes the next patch simpler.
So, 'struct kvm' is kzalloc()'d. 'struct kvm_arch' is a
structure member (and not a pointer) of 'struct kvm'. That
means they start out zeroed. I _think_ they get initialized
properly by kvm_mmu_change_mmu_pages(). But, that only happens
via kvm ioctls.
Another benefit of storing 'used' intead of 'free' is
that the values are consistent from the moment the structure is
allocated: no negative "used" value.

arch.n_alloc_mmu_pages is a poor choice of name. This value truly
means, "the number of pages which _may_ be allocated". But,
reading the name, "n_alloc_mmu_pages" implies "the number of allocated
mmu pages", which is dead wrong.
It's really the high watermark, so let's give it a name to match:
nr_max_mmu_pages. This change will make the next few patches
much more obvious and easy to read.

"free" is a poor name for this value. In this context, it means,
"the number of mmu pages which this kvm instance should be able to
allocate." But "free" implies much more that the objects are there
and ready for use. "available" is a much better description, especially
when you see how it is calculated.
In this patch, we abstract its use into a function. We'll soon
replace the function's contents by calculating the value in a
different way.
All of the reads of n_free_mmu_pages are taken care of in this
patch. The modification sites will be handled in a patch
later in the series.
