Usually, guest page faults are detected by the kvm page fault handler,
which detects if they are shadow faults, mmio faults, pagetable faults,
or normal guest page faults.

However, in ceratin circumstances, we can detect a page fault much later.
One of these events is the following combination:

- A two memory operand instruction (e.g. movsb) is executed.
- The first operand is in mmio space (which is the fault reported to kvm)
- The second operand is in an ummaped address (e.g. a guest page fault)

The Windows 2000 installer does such an access, an promptly hangs.  Fix
by adding the missing page fault injection on that path.

Mapping a guest page to a host page is a common operation.  Currently,
one has first to find the memory slot where the page belongs (gfn_to_memslot),
then locate the page itself (gfn_to_page()).

This is clumsy, and also won't work well with memory aliases.  So simplify
gfn_to_page() not to require memory slot translation first, and instead do it
internally.

Some older (~2.6.7) kernels write MCG_STATUS register during kernel

The SET_SREGS ioctl modifies both cr0.pe (real mode/protected mode) and
guest segment registers.  Since segment handling is modified by the mode on
Intel procesors, update the segment registers after the mode switch has taken
place.

set_cr0_no_modeswitch() was a hack to avoid corrupting segment registers.
As we now cache the protected mode values on entry to real mode, this
isn't an issue anymore, and it interferes with reboot (which usually _is_
a modeswitch).

The current string pio interface communicates using guest virtual addresses,
relying on userspace to translate addresses and to check permissions.  This
interface cannot fully support guest smp, as the check needs to take into
account two pages at one in case an unaligned string transfer straddles a
page boundary.

Change the interface not to communicate guest addresses at all; instead use
a buffer page (mmaped by userspace) and do transfers there.  The kernel
manages the virtual to physical translation and can perform the checks
atomically by taking the appropriate locks.

Allow a special signal mask to be used while executing in guest mode.  This
allows signals to be used to interrupt a vcpu without requiring signal
delivery to a userspace handler, which is quite expensive.  Userspace still
receives -EINTR and can get the signal via sigwait().

Currently, userspace is told about the nature of the last exit from the
guest using two fields, exit_type and exit_reason, where exit_type has
just two enumerations (and no need for more).  So fold exit_type into
exit_reason, reducing the complexity of determining what really happened.

KVM used to handle cpuid by letting userspace decide what values to
return to the guest.  We now handle cpuid completely in the kernel.  We
still let userspace decide which values the guest will see by having
userspace set up the value table beforehand (this is necessary to allow
management software to set the cpu features to the least common denominator,
so that live migration can work).

The motivation for the change is that kvm kernel code can be impacted by
cpuid features, for example the x86 emulator.

Currently when passing the a PIO emulation request to userspace, we
rely on userspace updating %rax (on 'in' instructions) and %rsi/%rdi/%rcx
(on string instructions).  This (a) requires two extra ioctls for getting
and setting the registers and (b) is unfriendly to non-x86 archs, when
they get kvm ports.

So fix by doing the register fixups in the kernel and passing to userspace
only an abstract description of the PIO to be done.

Instead of passing a 'struct kvm_run' back and forth between the kernel and
userspace, allocate a page and allow the user to mmap() it.  This reduces
needless copying and makes the interface expandable by providing lots of

A bogus 'return r' can cause an otherwise successful module load to fail.
This both denies users the use of kvm, and it also denies them the use of
their machine, as it leaves a filesystem registered with its callbacks
pointing into now-freed module memory.

Allocate a distinct inode for every vcpu in a VM.  This has the following
benefits:

 - the filp cachelines are no longer bounced when f_count is incremented on
   every ioctl()
 - the API and internal code are distinctly clearer; for example, on the
   KVM_GET_REGS ioctl, there is no need to copy the vcpu number from
   userspace and then copy the registers back; the vcpu identity is derived
   from the fd used to make the call

Right now the performance benefits are completely theoretical since (a) we
don't support more than one vcpu per VM and (b) virtualization hardware
inefficiencies completely everwhelm any cacheline bouncing effects.  But
both of these will change, and we need to prepare the API today.
