ioeventfd is a mechanism to register PIO/MMIO regions to trigger an eventfd
signal when written to by a guest.  Host userspace can register any
arbitrary IO address with a corresponding eventfd and then pass the eventfd
to a specific end-point of interest for handling.

Normal IO requires a blocking round-trip since the operation may cause
side-effects in the emulated model or may return data to the caller.
Therefore, an IO in KVM traps from the guest to the host, causes a VMX/SVM
"heavy-weight" exit back to userspace, and is ultimately serviced by qemu's
device model synchronously before returning control back to the vcpu.

However, there is a subclass of IO which acts purely as a trigger for
other IO (such as to kick off an out-of-band DMA request, etc).  For these
patterns, the synchronous call is particularly expensive since we really
only want to simply get our notification transmitted asychronously and
return as quickly as possible.  All the sychronous infrastructure to ensure
proper data-dependencies are met in the normal IO case are just unecessary
overhead for signalling.  This adds additional computational load on the
system, as well as latency to the signalling path.

Therefore, we provide a mechanism for registration of an in-kernel trigger
point that allows the VCPU to only require a very brief, lightweight
exit just long enough to signal an eventfd.  This also means that any
clients compatible with the eventfd interface (which includes userspace
and kernelspace equally well) can now register to be notified. The end
result should be a more flexible and higher performance notification API
for the backend KVM hypervisor and perhipheral components.

To test this theory, we built a test-harness called "doorbell".  This
module has a function called "doorbell_ring()" which simply increments a
counter for each time the doorbell is signaled.  It supports signalling
from either an eventfd, or an ioctl().

We then wired up two paths to the doorbell: One via QEMU via a registered
io region and through the doorbell ioctl().  The other is direct via
ioeventfd.

You can download this test harness here:

ftp://ftp.novell.com/dev/ghaskins/doorbell.tar.bz2

The measured results are as follows:

qemu-mmio:       110000 iops, 9.09us rtt
ioeventfd-mmio: 200100 iops, 5.00us rtt
ioeventfd-pio:  367300 iops, 2.72us rtt

I didn't measure qemu-pio, because I have to figure out how to register a
PIO region with qemu's device model, and I got lazy.  However, for now we
can extrapolate based on the data from the NULLIO runs of +2.56us for MMIO,
and -350ns for HC, we get:

qemu-pio:      153139 iops, 6.53us rtt
ioeventfd-hc: 412585 iops, 2.37us rtt

these are just for fun, for now, until I can gather more data.

Here is a graph for your convenience:

The conclusion to draw is that we save about 4us by skipping the userspace
hop.

Today kvm_io_bus_regsiter_dev() returns void and will internally BUG_ON
if it fails.  We want to create dynamic MMIO/PIO entries driven from
userspace later in the series, so we need to enhance the code to be more
robust with the following changes:

   1) Add a return value to the registration function
   2) Fix up all the callsites to check the return code, handle any
      failures, and percolate the error up to the caller.
   3) Add an unregister function that collapses holes in the array

When kvm is in hpet_legacy_mode, the hpet is providing the timer
interrupt and the pit should not be. So in legacy mode, the pit timer
is destroyed, but the *state* of the pit is maintained. So if kvm or
the guest tries to modify the state of the pit, this modification is
accepted, *except* that the timer isn't actually started. When we exit
hpet_legacy_mode, the current state of the pit (which is up to date
since we've been accepting modifications) is used to restart the pit
timer.

The saved_mode code in kvm_pit_load_count temporarily changes mode to
0xff in order to destroy the timer, but then restores the actual
value, again maintaining "current" state of the pit for possible later
reenablement.

To my understanding, it became obsolete with the advent of the more
robust check in mmu_alloc_roots (89da4ff17f). Moreover, it prevents
the conceptually safe pattern

KVM will inject a #GP into the guest if that tries to access unhandled
MSRs. This will crash many guests. Although it would be the correct
way to actually handle these MSRs, we introduce a runtime switchable
module param called "ignore_msrs" (defaults to 0). If this is Y, unknown
MSR reads will return 0, while MSR writes are simply dropped. In both cases
we print a message to dmesg to inform the user about that.

You can change the behaviour at any time by saying:

    KVM: s390: streamline memslot handling

s390 uses the values of the memslot instead of doing everything in the arch
ioctl handler of the KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION. Unfortunately we missed to
set the userspace_addr of our memslot due to our s390 ifdef in
__kvm_set_memory_region.
Old s390 userspace launchers did not notice, since they started the guest at
userspace address 0.
Because of CONFIG_DEFAULT_MMAP_MIN_ADDR we now put the guest at 1M userspace,
which does not work. This patch makes sure that new.userspace_addr is set
on s390.
This fix should go in quickly. Nevertheless, looking at the code we should
clean up that ifdef in the long term. Any kernel janitors?
