Virtual interrupt delivery avoids KVM to inject vAPIC interrupts
manually, which is fully taken care of by the hardware. This needs
some special awareness into existing interrupr injection path:
- for pending interrupt, instead of direct injection, we may need
update architecture specific indicators before resuming to guest.
- A pending interrupt, which is masked by ISR, should be also
considered in above update action, since hardware will decide
when to inject it at right time. Current has_interrupt and
get_interrupt only returns a valid vector from injection p.o.v.

basically to benefit from apicv, we need to enable virtualized x2apic mode.
Currently, we only enable it when guest is really using x2apic.
Also, clear MSR bitmap for corresponding x2apic MSRs when guest enabled x2apic:
0x800 - 0x8ff: no read intercept for apicv register virtualization,
except APIC ID and TMCCT which need software's assistance to
get right value.

If the userspace starts dirty logging for a large slot, say 64GB of
memory, kvm_mmu_slot_remove_write_access() needs to hold mmu_lock for
a long time such as tens of milliseconds. This patch controls the lock
hold time by asking the scheduler if we need to reschedule for others.
One penalty for this is that we need to flush TLBs before releasing
mmu_lock. But since holding mmu_lock for a long time does affect not
only the guest, vCPU threads in other words, but also the host as a
whole, we should pay for that.
In practice, the cost will not be so high because we can protect a fair
amount of memory before being rescheduled: on my test environment,
cond_resched_lock() was called only once for protecting 12GB of memory
even without THP. We can also revisit Avi's "unlocked TLB flush" work
later for completely suppressing extra TLB flushes if needed.

No reason to make callers take mmu_lock since we do not need to protect

calls kvm_mmu_commit_zap_page() and flushes TLBs by itself.
Note: we do not need to protect kvm->arch.n_requested_mmu_pages by
mmu_lock as can be seen from the fact that it is read locklessly.

This makes it possible to release mmu_lock and reschedule conditionally
in a later patch. Although this may increase the time needed to protect
the whole slot when we start dirty logging, the kernel should not allow
the userspace to trigger something that will hold a spinlock for such a
long time as tens of milliseconds: actually there is no limit since it
is roughly proportional to the number of guest pages.
Another point to note is that this patch removes the only user of
slot_bitmap which will cause some problems when we increase the number
of slots further.

nothing but search for non-existent mmu pages which have mappings to

Since we want to make the function rmap based in a later patch, in a
manner which makes it unsafe to be called for a deleted slot, we makes
the caller see if the slot is non-zero and being dirty logged.

We have two issues in current code:
- if target gfn is used as its page table, guest will refault then kvm will use
small page size to map it. We need two #PF to fix its shadow page table
- sometimes, say a exception is triggered during vm-exit caused by #PF
(see handle_exception() in vmx.c), we remove all the shadow pages shadowed
by the target gfn before go into page fault path, it will cause infinite
loop:
delete shadow pages shadowed by the gfn -> try to use large page size to map
the gfn -> retry the access ->...
To fix these, we can adjust page size early if the target gfn is used as page
table

If the write-fault access is from supervisor and CR0.WP is not set on the
vcpu, kvm will fix it by adjusting pte access - it sets the W bit on pte
and clears U bit. This is the chance that kvm can change pte access from
readonly to writable
Unfortunately, the pte access is the access of 'direct' shadow page table,
means direct sp.role.access = pte_access, then we will create a writable
spte entry on the readonly shadow page table. It will cause Dirty bit is
not tracked when two guest ptes point to the same large page. Note, it
does not have other impact except Dirty bit since cr0.wp is encoded into
sp.role
It can be fixed by adjusting pte access before establishing shadow page
table. Also, after that, no mmu specified code exists in the common function
and drop two parameters in set_spte

We emulate arithmetic opcodes by executing a "similar" (same operation,
different operands) on the cpu. This ensures accurate emulation, esp. wrt.
eflags. However, the prologue and epilogue around the opcode is fairly long,
consisting of a switch (for the operand size) and code to load and save the
operands. This is repeated for every opcode.
This patch introduces an alternative way to emulate arithmetic opcodes.
Instead of the above, we have four (three on i386) functions consisting
of just the opcode and a ret; one for each operand size. For example:
.align 8
em_notb:
not %al
ret
.align 8
em_notw:
not %ax
ret
.align 8
em_notl:
not %eax
ret
.align 8
em_notq:
not %rax
ret
The prologue and epilogue are shared across all opcodes. Note the functions
use a special calling convention; notably eflags is an input/output parameter
and is not clobbered. Rather than dispatching the four functions through a
jump table, the functions are declared as a constant size (8) so their address
can be calculated.

With emulate_invalid_guest_state=0 if a vcpu is in real mode VMX can
enter the vcpu with smaller segment limit than guest configured. If the
guest tries to access pass this limit it will get #GP at which point
instruction will be emulated with correct segment limit applied. If
during the emulation IO is detected it is not handled correctly. Vcpu
thread should exit to userspace to serve the IO, but it returns to the
guest instead. Since emulation is not completed till userspace completes
the IO the faulty instruction is re-executed ad infinitum.
The patch fixes that by exiting to userspace if IO happens during
instruction emulation.
