Always set the accessed and dirty bit (since having them cleared causes
a read-modify-write cycle), always set the present bit, and copy the

0d551bb698 KVM: Make shadow pte updates atomic
With guest smp, a second vcpu might see partial updates when the first
vcpu services a page fault.  So delay all updates until we have figured
out what the pte should look like.

Note that on i386, this is still not completely atomic as a 64-bit write
will be split into two on a 32-bit machine.

2cc51560ae KVM: VMX: Avoid saving and restoring msr_efer on lightweight vmexit
MSR_EFER.LME/LMA bits are automatically save/restored by VMX
hardware, KVM only needs to save NX/SCE bits at time of heavy
weight VM Exit. But clearing NX bits in host envirnment may
cause system hang if the host page table is using EXB bits,
thus we leave NX bits as it is. If Host NX=1 and guest NX=0, we
can do guest page table EXB bits check before inserting a shadow
pte (though no guest is expecting to see this kind of gp fault).
If host NX=0, we present guest no Execute-Disable feature to guest,
thus no host NX=0, guest NX=1 combination.

This patch reduces raw vmexit time by ~27%.

Me: fix compile warnings on i386.

fails early in the kernel init inside p3_get_bus_clock while trying to read

0028425f64 KVM: Update shadow pte on write to guest pte
A typical demand page/copy on write pattern is:

- page fault on vaddr
- kvm propagates fault to guest
- guest handles fault, updates pte
- kvm traps write, clears shadow pte, resumes guest
- guest returns to userspace, re-faults on same vaddr
- kvm installs shadow pte, resumes guest
- guest continues

So, three vmexits for a single guest page fault.  But if instead of clearing
the page table entry, we update to correspond to the value that the guest
has just written, we eliminate the third vmexit.

This patch does exactly that, reducing kbuild time by about 10%.

fce0657ff9 KVM: MMU: Respect nonpae pagetable quadrant when zapping ptes
When a guest writes to a page that has an mmu shadow, we have to clear
the shadow pte corresponding to the memory location touched by the guest.

Now, in nonpae mode, a single guest page may have two or four shadow
pages (because a nonpae page maps 4MB or 4GB, whereas the pae shadow maps
2MB or 1GB), so we when we look up the page we find up to three additional
aliases for the page.  Since we _clear_ the shadow pte, it doesn't matter
except for a slight performance penalty, but if we want to _update_ the
shadow pte instead of clearing it, it is vital that we don't modify the
aliases.

Fortunately, exactly which page is needed (the "quadrant") is easily
computed, and is accessible in the shadow page header.  All we need is
to ignore shadow pages from the wrong quadrants.

a25f7e1f8c KVM: Reduce misfirings of the fork detector
The kvm mmu tries to detects forks by looking for repeated writes to a
page table.  If it sees a fork, it unshadows the page table so the page
table copying can proceed at native speed instead of being emulated.

However, the detector also triggered on simple demand paging access patterns:
a linear walk of memory would of course cause repeated writes to the same
pagetable page, causing it to unshadow prematurely.

Fix by resetting the fork detector if we detect a demand fault.

e8edc6e03a Detach sched.h from mm.h
First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.

This patch
a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
   getting them indirectly

Net result is:
a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
   they don't need sched.h
b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
   on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
   after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

	all arm defconfigs, all mips defconfigs, all powerpc defconfigs,
	alpha alpha-up

But we don't really need to enter the guest again for that, only to take

c9047f5333 KVM: Handle guest page faults when emulating mmio
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.

df513e2cdd KVM: x86 emulator: fix bit string operations operand size
On x86, bit operations operate on a string of bits that can reside in
multiple words.  For example, 'btsl %eax, (blah)' will touch the word
at blah+4 if %eax is between 32 and 63.

The x86 emulator compensates for that by advancing the operand address
by (bit offset / BITS_PER_LONG) and truncating the bit offset to the
range (0..BITS_PER_LONG-1).  This has a side effect of forcing the operand
size to 8 bytes on 64-bit hosts.

Now, a 32-bit guest goes and fork()s a process.  It write protects a stack
page at 0xbffff000 using the 'btr' instruction, at offset 0xffc in the page
table, with bit offset 1 (for the write permission bit).

The emulator now forces the operand size to 8 bytes as previously described,
and an innocent page table update turns into a cross-page-boundary write,
which is assumed by the mmu code not to be a page table, so it doesn't
actually clear the corresponding shadow page table entry.  The guest and
host permissions are out of sync and guest memory is corrupted soon
afterwards, leading to guest failure.

Fix by not using BITS_PER_LONG as the word size; instead use the actual
operand size, so we get a 32-bit write in that case.

Note we still have to teach the mmu to handle cross-page-boundary writes
to guest page table; but for now this allows Damn Small Linux 0.4 (2.4.20)
to boot.

0cc5064d33 KVM: SVM: Ensure timestamp counter monotonicity
When a vcpu is migrated from one cpu to another, its timestamp counter
may lose its monotonic property if the host has unsynced timestamp counters.
This can confuse the guest, sometimes to the point of refusing to boot.

As the rdtsc instruction is rather fast on AMD processors (7-10 cycles),
we can simply record the last host tsc when we drop the cpu, and adjust
the vcpu tsc offset when we detect that we've migrated to a different cpu.

d28c6cfbbc KVM: MMU: Fix hugepage pdes mapping same physical address with different access
The kvm mmu keeps a shadow page for hugepage pdes; if several such pdes map
the same physical address, they share the same shadow page.  This is a fairly
common case (kernel mappings on i386 nonpae Linux, for example).

However, if the two pdes map the same memory but with different permissions, kvm
will happily use the cached shadow page.  If the access through the more
permissive pde will occur after the access to the strict pde, an endless pagefault
loop will be generated and the guest will make no progress.

Fix by making the access permissions part of the cache lookup key.

The fix allows Xen pae to boot on kvm and run guest domains.

Thanks to Jeremy Fitzhardinge for reporting the bug and testing the fix.
