KVM: Add locking to virtual i8259 interrupt controller
While most accesses to the i8259 are with the kvm mutex taken, the call
to kvm_pic_read_irq() is not. We can't easily take the kvm mutex there
since the function is called with interrupts disabled.
Fix by adding a spinlock to the virtual interrupt controller. Since we
can't send an IPI under the spinlock (we also take the same spinlock in
an irq disabled context), we defer the IPI until the spinlock is released.
Similarly, we defer irq ack notifications until after spinlock release to
avoid lock recursion.

KVM: x86: Rework user space NMI injection as KVM_CAP_USER_NMI
There is no point in doing the ready_for_nmi_injection/

in-kernel irqchip anyway, while the code path is the same as for user
space irqchip mode. And second, there is nothing to loose if a pending
NMI is overwritten by another one (in contrast to IRQs where we have to

NMIs this way because the reason for the held-back NMI might already be

Therefore this patch creates a simplified user space NMI injection

KVM: fix handling of ACK from shared guest IRQ
If an assigned device shares a guest irq with an emulated

The problem is that kvm_destroy_vm can run while the module count

is running. But kvm_destroy_vm is part of the module text. This
causes a kerneloops. The race exists without the msleep but is much

With this patch, we can set the owner of all anonymous KVM inodes file

There is an imbalance for anonymous inodes. If the fops->owner field is set,

("filp_close" --> "__fput" ---> "fops_put")
On the other hand, anon_inode_getfd does not increase the module reference
count of owner. This causes two problems:
- if owner is set, the module refcount goes negative
- if owner is not set, the module can be unloaded while code is running
This patch changes anon_inode_getfd to be symmetric regarding fops->owner
handling.
I have checked all existing users of anon_inode_getfd. Noone sets fops->owner,
thats why nobody has seen the module refcount negative. The refcounting was
tested with a patched and unpatched KVM module.(see patch 2/2) I also did an

KVM: ppc: directly insert shadow mappings into the hardware TLB

guest would load this array into the hardware TLB. This consumed 1280 bytes of
memory (64 entries of 16 bytes plus a struct page pointer each), and also
required some assembly to loop over the array on every entry.
Instead of saving a copy in memory, we can just store shadow mappings directly
into the hardware TLB, accepting that the host kernel will clobber these as
part of the normal 440 TLB round robin. When we do that we need less than half
the memory, and we have decreased the exit handling time for all guest exits,
at the cost of increased number of TLB misses because the host overwrites some
guest entries.
These savings will be increased on processors with larger TLBs or which
implement intelligent flush instructions like tlbivax (which will avoid the
need to walk arrays in software).
In addition to that and to the code simplification, we have a greater chance of
leaving other host userspace mappings in the TLB, instead of forcing all

VMX out there always enable VMX on all CPUs like KVM does. We have two
other alternatives for that:
a) Have an API that all code that enables VMX on any CPU should use
to tell the kernel core that it is going to enable VMX on the CPUs.
b) Always call nmi_shootdown_cpus() if the CPU supports VMX. This is
a bit intrusive and more risky, as it would run nmi_shootdown_cpus()
on emergency_reboot() even on systems where virtualization is never

Finding a proper point to hook the nmi_shootdown_cpus() call isn't
trivial, as the non-emergency machine_restart() (that doesn't need the
NMI tricks) uses machine_emergency_restart() directly.

KVM: ppc: create struct kvm_vcpu_44x and introduce container_of() accessor
This patch doesn't yet move all 44x-specific data into the new structure, but
is the first step down that path. In the future we may also want to create a
struct kvm_vcpu_booke.
Based on patch from Liu Yu <yu.liu@freescale.com>.

KVM: ppc: refactor instruction emulation into generic and core-specific pieces
Cores provide 3 emulation hooks, implemented for example in the new
4xx_emulate.c:
kvmppc_core_emulate_op
kvmppc_core_emulate_mtspr
kvmppc_core_emulate_mfspr
Strictly speaking the last two aren't necessary, but provide for more
informative error reporting ("unknown SPR").
Long term I'd like to have instruction decoding autogenerated from tables of
opcodes, and that way we could aggregate universal, Book E, and core-specific
instructions more easily and without redundant switch statements.

ppc: Create disassemble.h to extract instruction fields
This is used in a couple places in KVM, but isn't KVM-specific.
However, this patch doesn't modify other in-kernel emulation code:
- xmon uses a direct copy of ppc_opc.c from binutils
- emulate_instruction() doesn't need it because it can use a series
of mask tests.

KVM: ppc: Refactor powerpc.c to relocate 440-specific code
This introduces a set of core-provided hooks. For 440, some of these are
implemented by booke.c, with the rest in (the new) 44x.c.
Note that these hooks are link-time, not run-time. Since it is not possible to
build a single kernel for both e500 and 440 (for example), using function
pointers would only add overhead.
