Shutdown interception clears the vmcb, leaving the asid at zero (which is
illegal. so force a new asid on vmcb initialization.

There is a window open between testing of pending IRQ's
and assignment of guest_mode in __vcpu_run.
Injection of IRQ's can race with __vcpu_run as follows:
CPU0 CPU1
kvm_x86_ops->run()
vcpu->guest_mode = 0 SET_IRQ_LINE ioctl
..
kvm_x86_ops->inject_pending_irq
kvm_cpu_has_interrupt()
apic_test_and_set_irr()
kvm_vcpu_kick
if (vcpu->guest_mode)
send_ipi()
vcpu->guest_mode = 1
So move guest_mode=1 assignment before ->inject_pending_irq, and make
sure that it won't reorder after it.

Timers that fire between guest hlt and vcpu_block's add_wait_queue() are
ignored, possibly resulting in hangs.
Also make sure that atomic_inc and waitqueue_active tests happen in the
specified order, otherwise the following race is open:
CPU0 CPU1
if (waitqueue_active(wq))
add_wait_queue()
if (!atomic_read(pit_timer->pending))
schedule()
atomic_inc(pit_timer->pending)

This patch introduces a gfn_to_pfn() function and corresponding functions like
kvm_release_pfn_dirty(). Using these new functions, we can modify the x86
MMU to no longer assume that it can always get a struct page for any given gfn.
We don't want to eliminate gfn_to_page() entirely because a number of places
assume they can do gfn_to_page() and then kmap() the results. When we support
IO memory, gfn_to_page() will fail for IO pages although gfn_to_pfn() will
succeed.
This does not implement support for avoiding reference counting for reserved
RAM or for IO memory. However, it should make those things pretty straight
forward.
Since we're only introducing new common symbols, I don't think it will break
the non-x86 architectures but I haven't tested those. I've tested Intel,
AMD, NPT, and hugetlbfs with Windows and Linux guests.

Zdenek reported a bug where a looping "dmsetup status" eventually hangs
on SMP guests.
The problem is that kvm_mmu_get_page() prepopulates the shadow MMU
before write protecting the guest page tables. By doing so, it leaves a
window open where the guest can mark a pte as present while the host has
shadow cached such pte as "notrap". Accesses to such address will fault
in the guest without the host having a chance to fix the situation.
Fix by moving the write protection before the pte prefetch.

If the accessed bit is not set, the guest has never accessed this page
(at least through this spte), so there's no need to mark the page
accessed. This provides more accurate data for the eviction algortithm.

When mmu_set_spte() checks if a page related to spte should be release as
dirty or clean, it check if the shadow pte was writeble, but in case
rmap_write_protect() is called called it is possible for shadow ptes that were
writeble to become readonly and therefor mmu_set_spte will release the pages
as clean.
This patch fix this issue by marking the page as dirty inside
rmap_write_protect().

If we populate a shadow pte due to a fault (and not speculatively due to a
pte write) then we can set the accessed bit on it, as we know it will be
set immediately on the next guest instruction. This saves a read-modify-write
operation.

In the current inject_page_fault path KVM only checks if there is another PF
pending and injects a DF then. But it has to check for a pending DF too to
detect a shutdown condition in the VCPU. If this is not detected the VCPU goes
to a PF -> DF -> PF loop when it should triple fault. This patch detects this
condition and handles it with an KVM_SHUTDOWN exit to userspace.

Mark zapped root pagetables as invalid and ignore such pages during lookup.
This is a problem with the cr3-target feature, where a zapped root table fools
the faulting code into creating a read-only mapping. The result is a lockup

This is the host part of kvm clocksource implementation. As it does
not include clockevents, it is a fairly simple implementation. We
only have to register a per-vcpu area, and start writing to it periodically.
The area is binary compatible with xen, as we use the same shadow_info
structure.
