Coalesced pio is based on coalesced mmio and can be used for some port
like rtc port, pci-host config port and so on.

Specially in case of rtc as coalesced pio, some versions of windows guest
access rtc frequently because of rtc as system tick. guest access rtc like
this: write register index to 0x70, then write or read data from 0x71.
writing 0x70 port is just as index and do nothing else. So we can use
coalesced pio to handle this scene to reduce VM-EXIT time.

When starting and closing a virtual machine, it will access pci-host config
port frequently. So setting these port as coalesced pio can reduce startup
and shutdown time.

Recently the minimum required version of binutils was changed to 2.20,
which supports all VMX instruction mnemonics. The patch removes
all .byte #defines and uses real instruction mnemonics instead.

The compiler is now able to pass memory operand to the instruction,
so there is no need for memory clobber anymore. Also, the compiler
adds CC register clobber automatically to all extended asm clauses,
so the patch also removes explicit CC clobber.

The immediate benefit of the patch is removal of many unnecesary
register moves, resulting in 1434 saved bytes in vmx.o:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 151257   18246    8500  178003   2b753 vmx.o
 152691   18246    8500  179437   2bced vmx-old.o

Some examples of improvement include removal of unneeded moves
of %rsp to %rax in front of invept and invvpid instructions:

    a57e:	b9 01 00 00 00       	mov    $0x1,%ecx
    a583:	48 89 04 24          	mov    %rax,(%rsp)

    a58a:	48 c7 44 24 08 00 00 	movq   $0x0,0x8(%rsp)
    a591:	00 00

The quote from the comment almost says it all: we are currently zeroing
the guest dr6 in kvm_arch_vcpu_put, because do_debug expects it.  However,
the host %dr6 is either:

- zero because the guest hasn't run after kvm_arch_vcpu_load

- written from vcpu->arch.dr6 by vcpu_enter_guest

- written by the guest and copied to vcpu->arch.dr6 by ->sync_dirty_debug_regs().

Therefore, we can skip the write if vcpu->arch.dr6 is already zero.  We
may do extra useless writes if vcpu->arch.dr6 is nonzero but the guest
hasn't run; however that is less important for performance.

When early consistency checks are enabled, all VMFail conditions
should be caught by nested_vmx_check_vmentry_hw().
Signed-off-by: NSean Christopherson <sean.j.christopherson@intel.com>
Signed-off-by: NPaolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

KVM defers many VMX consistency checks to the CPU, ostensibly for
performance reasons[1], including checks that result in VMFail (as
opposed to VMExit).  This behavior may be undesirable for some users
since this means KVM detects certain classes of VMFail only after it
has processed guest state, e.g. emulated MSR load-on-entry.  Because
there is a strict ordering between checks that cause VMFail and those
that cause VMExit, i.e. all VMFail checks are performed before any
checks that cause VMExit, we can detect (almost) all VMFail conditions
via a dry run of sorts.  The almost qualifier exists because some
state in vmcs02 comes from L0, e.g. VPID, which means that hardware
will never detect an invalid VPID in vmcs12 because it never sees
said value.  Software must (continue to) explicitly check such fields.

After preparing vmcs02 with all state needed to pass the VMFail
consistency checks, optionally do a "test" VMEnter with an invalid
GUEST_RFLAGS.  If the VMEnter results in a VMExit (due to bad guest
state), then we can safely say that the nested VMEnter should not
VMFail, i.e. any VMFail encountered in nested_vmx_vmexit() must
be due to an L0 bug.  GUEST_RFLAGS is used to induce VMExit as it
is unconditionally loaded on all implementations of VMX, has an
invalid value that is writable on a 32-bit system and its consistency
check is performed relatively early in all implementations (the exact
order of consistency checks is micro-architectural).

Unfortunately, since the "passing" case causes a VMExit, KVM must
be extra diligent to ensure that host state is restored, e.g. DR7
and RFLAGS are reset on VMExit.  Failure to restore RFLAGS.IF is
particularly fatal.

And of course the extra VMEnter and VMExit impacts performance.
The raw overhead of the early consistency checks is ~6% on modern
hardware (though this could easily vary based on configuration),
while the added latency observed from the L1 VMM is ~10%.  The
early consistency checks do not occur in a vacuum, e.g. spending
more time in L0 can lead to more interrupts being serviced while
emulating VMEnter, thereby increasing the latency observed by L1.

Add a module param, early_consistency_checks, to provide control
over whether or not VMX performs the early consistency checks.
In addition to standard on/off behavior, the param accepts a value
of -1, which is essentialy an "auto" setting whereby KVM does
the early checks only when it thinks it's running on bare metal.
When running nested, doing early checks is of dubious value since
the resulting behavior is heavily dependent on L0.  In the future,
the "auto" setting could also be used to default to skipping the
early hardware checks for certain configurations/platforms if KVM
reaches a state where it has 100% coverage of VMFail conditions.

[1] To my knowledge no one has implemented and tested full software
    emulation of the VMFail consistency checks.  Until that happens,
    one can only speculate about the actual performance overhead of
    doing all VMFail consistency checks in software.  Obviously any
    code is slower than no code, but in the grand scheme of nested
    virtualization it's entirely possible the overhead is negligible.

A successful VMEnter is essentially a fancy indirect branch that
pulls the target RIP from the VMCS.  Skipping the instruction is
unnecessary (RIP will get overwritten by the VMExit handler) and
is problematic because it can incorrectly suppress a #DB due to
EFLAGS.TF when a VMFail is detected by hardware (happens after we
skip the instruction).

Now that vmx_nested_run() is not prematurely skipping the instr,
use the full kvm_skip_emulated_instruction() in the VMFail path
of nested_vmx_vmexit().  We also need to explicitly update the
GUEST_INTERRUPTIBILITY_INFO when loading vmcs12 host state.

Add a dedicated flag to track if vmcs02 has been initialized, i.e.
the constant state for vmcs02 has been written to the backing VMCS.
The launched flag (in struct loaded_vmcs) gets cleared on logical
CPU migration to mirror hardware behavior[1], i.e. using the launched
flag to determine whether or not vmcs02 constant state needs to be
initialized results in unnecessarily re-initializing the VMCS when
migrating between logical CPUS.

[1] The active VMCS needs to be VMCLEARed before it can be migrated
    to a different logical CPU.  Hardware's VMCS cache is per-CPU
    and is not coherent between CPUs.  VMCLEAR flushes the cache so
    that any dirty data is written back to memory.  A side effect
    of VMCLEAR is that it also clears the VMCS's internal launch
    flag, which KVM must mirror because VMRESUME must be used to
    run a previously launched VMCS.

consistency checks when nested_run_pending is true.  But, in the
normal nested VMEntry flow, nested_run_pending is only set after
check_vmentry_postreqs(), i.e. the consistency check is being skipped.

Alternatively, nested_run_pending could be set prior to calling
check_vmentry_postreqs() in nested_vmx_run(), but placing the
consistency checks in nested_vmx_enter_non_root_mode() allows us
to split prepare_vmcs02() and interleave the preparation with
the consistency checks without having to change the call sites
of nested_vmx_enter_non_root_mode().  In other words, the rest
of the consistency check code in nested_vmx_run() will be joining
