The problem:

On -rt, an emulated LAPIC timer instances has the following path:

1) hard interrupt
2) ksoftirqd is scheduled
3) ksoftirqd wakes up vcpu thread
4) vcpu thread is scheduled

This extra context switch introduces unnecessary latency in the
LAPIC path for a KVM guest.

The solution:

Allow waking up vcpu thread from hardirq context,
thus avoiding the need for ksoftirqd to be scheduled.

Normal waitqueues make use of spinlocks, which on -RT
are sleepable locks. Therefore, waking up a waitqueue
waiter involves locking a sleeping lock, which
is not allowed from hard interrupt context.

This patch reduces the average latency in my tests from 14us to 11us.

To date, we have implemented two I/O usage models for persistent memory,
PMEM (a persistent "ram disk") and DAX (mmap persistent memory into
userspace).  This series adds a third, DAX-GUP, that allows DAX mappings
to be the target of direct-i/o.  It allows userspace to coordinate
DMA/RDMA from/to persistent memory.

The implementation leverages the ZONE_DEVICE mm-zone that went into
4.3-rc1 (also discussed at kernel summit) to flag pages that are owned
and dynamically mapped by a device driver.  The pmem driver, after
mapping a persistent memory range into the system memmap via
devm_memremap_pages(), arranges for DAX to distinguish pfn-only versus
page-backed pmem-pfns via flags in the new pfn_t type.

The DAX code, upon seeing a PFN_DEV+PFN_MAP flagged pfn, flags the
resulting pte(s) inserted into the process page tables with a new
_PAGE_DEVMAP flag.  Later, when get_user_pages() is walking ptes it keys
off _PAGE_DEVMAP to pin the device hosting the page range active.
Finally, get_page() and put_page() are modified to take references
against the device driver established page mapping.

Finally, this need for "struct page" for persistent memory requires
memory capacity to store the memmap array.  Given the memmap array for a
large pool of persistent may exhaust available DRAM introduce a
mechanism to allocate the memmap from persistent memory.  The new
"struct vmem_altmap *" parameter to devm_memremap_pages() enables
arch_add_memory() to use reserved pmem capacity rather than the page
allocator.

This patch (of 18):

The core has developed a need for a "pfn_t" type [1].  Move the existing
pfn_t in KVM to kvm_pfn_t [2].

Per Hyper-V specification (and as required by Hyper-V-aware guests),
SynIC provides 4 per-vCPU timers.  Each timer is programmed via a pair
of MSRs, and signals expiration by delivering a special format message
to the configured SynIC message slot and triggering the corresponding
synthetic interrupt.

Note: as implemented by this patch, all periodic timers are "lazy"
(i.e. if the vCPU wasn't scheduled for more than the timer period the
timer events are lost), regardless of the corresponding configuration
MSR.  If deemed necessary, the "catch up" mode (the timer period is
shortened until the timer catches up) will be implemented later.

Changes v2:
* Use remainder to calculate periodic timer expiration time

The SynIC message protocol mandates that the message slot is claimed
by atomically setting message type to something other than HVMSG_NONE.
If another message is to be delivered while the slot is still busy,
message pending flag is asserted to indicate to the guest that the
hypervisor wants to be notified when the slot is released.

To make sure the protocol works regardless of where the message
sources are (kernel or userspace), clear the pending flag on SINT ACK
notification, and let the message sources compete for the slot again.

KVM creates debugfs files to export VM statistics to userland. To be
able to remove them on kvm exit it tracks the files' dentries.

Since their parent directory is also tracked and since each parent
direntry knows its children we can easily remove them by using
debugfs_remove_recursive(kvm_debugfs_dir). Therefore we don't
need the extra tracking in the kvm_stats_debugfs_item anymore.

SynIC (synthetic interrupt controller) is a lapic extension,
which is controlled via MSRs and maintains for each vCPU
 - 16 synthetic interrupt "lines" (SINT's); each can be configured to
   trigger a specific interrupt vector optionally with auto-EOI
   semantics
 - a message page in the guest memory with 16 256-byte per-SINT message
   slots
 - an event flag page in the guest memory with 16 2048-bit per-SINT
   event flag areas

The host triggers a SINT whenever it delivers a new message to the
corresponding slot or flips an event flag bit in the corresponding area.
The guest informs the host that it can try delivering a message by
explicitly asserting EOI in lapic or writing to End-Of-Message (EOM)
MSR.

The userspace (qemu) triggers interrupts and receives EOM notifications
via irqfd with resampler; for that, a GSI is allocated for each
configured SINT, and irq_routing api is extended to support GSI-SINT
mapping.

Changes v4:
* added activation of SynIC by vcpu KVM_ENABLE_CAP
* added per SynIC active flag
* added deactivation of APICv upon SynIC activation

Changes v3:
* added KVM_CAP_HYPERV_SYNIC and KVM_IRQ_ROUTING_HV_SINT notes into
docs

Changes v2:
* do not use posted interrupts for Hyper-V SynIC AutoEOI vectors
* add Hyper-V SynIC vectors into EOI exit bitmap

In order to support a userspace IOAPIC interacting with an in kernel
APIC, the EOI exit bitmaps need to be configurable.

If the IOAPIC is in userspace (i.e. the irqchip has been split), the
EOI exit bitmaps will be set whenever the GSI Routes are configured.
In particular, for the low MSI routes are reservable for userspace
IOAPICs. For these MSI routes, the EOI Exit bit corresponding to the
destination vector of the route will be set for the destination VCPU.

The intention is for the userspace IOAPICs to use the reservable MSI
routes to inject interrupts into the guest.

This is a slight abuse of the notion of an MSI Route, given that MSIs
classically bypass the IOAPIC. It might be worthwhile to add an
additional route type to improve clarity.

uses of kvm_read_guest* and kvm_write_guest* must be changed to use
different address spaces, depending on whether the VCPU is in system

this purpose.

For now, the VCPU-based functions have the same behavior as the
existing per-VM ones, they just accept a different type for the
first argument.  Later however they will be changed to use one of many
"struct kvm_memslots" stored in struct kvm, through an architecture hook.
VM-based functions will unconditionally use the first memslots pointer.

Whenever possible, this patch introduces slot-based functions with an
__ prefix, with two wrappers for generic and vcpu-based actions.
The exceptions are kvm_read_guest and kvm_write_guest, which are copied
into the new functions kvm_vcpu_read_guest and kvm_vcpu_write_guest.

This patch adds the interface between x86.c and the emulator: the
SMBASE register, a new emulator flag, the RSM instruction.  It also
adds a new request bit that will be used by the KVM_SMI ioctl.

The memory slot is already available from gfn_to_memslot_dirty_bitmap.
Isn't it a shame to look it up again?  Plus, it makes gfn_to_page_many_atomic
agnostic of multiple VCPU address spaces.

This lets the function access the new memory slot without going through
kvm_memslots and id_to_memslot.  It will simplify the code when more
than one address space will be supported.

Unfortunately, the "const"ness of the new argument must be casted
away in two places.  Fixing KVM to accept const struct kvm_memory_slot
pointers would require modifications in pretty much all architectures,
and is left for later.
