If the time stamp counter goes backwards, a guest delay loop can become
infinite. This can happen if a vcpu is migrated to another cpu, where
the counter has a lower value than the first cpu.
Since we're doing an IPI to the first cpu anyway, we can use that to pick
up the old tsc, and use that to calculate the adjustment we need to make
to the tsc offset.

When a vcpu causes a shadow tlb entry to have reduced permissions, it
must also clear the tlb on remote vcpus. We do that by:
- setting a bit on the vcpu that requests a tlb flush before the next entry
- if the vcpu is currently executing, we send an ipi to make sure it
exits before we continue

That way, we don't need to loop for KVM_MAX_VCPUS for a single vcpu

If we add the vm once per vcpu, we corrupt the list if the guest has

A vcpu can pin up to four mmu shadow pages, which means the freeing
loop will never terminate. Fix by first unpinning shadow pages on
all vcpus, then freeing shadow pages.

Switch guest paging context may require us to allocate memory, which
might fail. Instead of wiring up error paths everywhere, make context
switching lazy and actually do the switch before the next guest entry,
where we can return an error if allocation fails.

This was once used to avoid accessing the guest pte when upgrading
the shadow pte from read-only to read-write. But usually we need
to set the guest pte dirty or accessed bits anyway, so this wasn't
really exploited.

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
nx bit from the guest.

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.

This prevents some work from being performed twice, and, more importantly,

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.

In a lightweight exit (where we exit and reenter the guest without
scheduling or exiting to userspace in between), we don't need various
msrs on the host, and avoiding shuffling them around reduces raw exit
time by 8%.

The real mode tr needs to be set to a specific tss so that I/O
instructions can function. Divert the new tr values to the real
mode save area from where they will be restored on transition to
protected mode.
This fixes some crashes on reboot when the bios accesses an I/O
instruction.

If we set an msr via an ioctl() instead of by handling a guest exit, we
have the host state loaded, so reloading the msrs would clobber host
state instead of guest state.
This fixes a host oops (and loss of a cpu) on a guest reboot.

Attempting to boot the default 'bsd' kernel of OpenBSD 4.1 i386 in a guest
fails early in the kernel init inside p3_get_bus_clock while trying to read
the IA32_EBL_CR_POWERON MSR. KVM logs an 'unhandled MSR' message and the
guest kernel faults.
This patch is sufficient to allow OpenBSD to boot, after which it seems to
run fine. I'm not sure if this is the correct solution for dealing with
this particular MSR, but it works for me.

The lightweight vmexit path avoids saving and reloading certain host
state. However in certain cases lightweight vmexit handling can schedule()
which requires reloading the host state.
So we store the host state in the vcpu structure, and reloaded it if we
relinquish the vcpu.
