MCE: Relay UCR MCE to guest
UCR (uncorrected recovery) MCE is supported in recent Intel CPUs,
where some hardware error such as some memory error can be reported
without PCC (processor context corrupted). To recover from such MCE,
the corresponding memory will be unmapped, and all processes accessing
the memory will be killed via SIGBUS.
For KVM, if QEMU/KVM is killed, all guest processes will be killed
too. So we relay SIGBUS from host OS to guest system via a UCR MCE
injection. Then guest OS can isolate corresponding memory and kill
necessary guest processes only. SIGBUS sent to main thread (not VCPU
threads) will be broadcast to all VCPU threads as UCR MCE.

Comment on kvm usage: rather than require users to do if (kvm_enabled())
and/or ifdefs, this patch adds an API that, internally, is defined to
stub function on non-kvm build, and checks kvm_enabled for non-kvm

While rest of qemu code still uses if (kvm_enabled()), I think this

This grand cleanup drops all reset and vmsave/load related
synchronization points in favor of four(!) generic hooks:
- cpu_synchronize_all_states in qemu_savevm_state_complete
(initial sync from kernel before vmsave)
- cpu_synchronize_all_post_init in qemu_loadvm_state
(writeback after vmload)
- cpu_synchronize_all_post_init in main after machine init
- cpu_synchronize_all_post_reset in qemu_system_reset
(writeback after system reset)
These writeback points + the existing one of VCPU exec after
cpu_synchronize_state map on three levels of writeback:
- KVM_PUT_RUNTIME_STATE (during runtime, other VCPUs continue to run)
- KVM_PUT_RESET_STATE (on synchronous system reset, all VCPUs stopped)
- KVM_PUT_FULL_STATE (on init or vmload, all VCPUs stopped as well)
This level is passed to the arch-specific VCPU state writing function
that will decide which concrete substates need to be written. That way,
no writer of load, save or reset functions that interact with in-kernel
KVM states will ever have to worry about synchronization again. That
also means that a lot of reasons for races, segfaults and deadlocks are
eliminated.
cpu_synchronize_state remains untouched, just as Anthony suggested. We
continue to need it before reading or writing of VCPU states that are
also tracked by in-kernel KVM subsystems.
Consequently, this patch removes many cpu_synchronize_state calls that
are now redundant, just like remaining explicit register syncs.

So far we synchronized any dirty VCPU state back into the kernel before
updating the guest debug state. This was a tribute to a deficite in x86
kernels before 2.6.33. But as this is an arch-dependent issue, it is
better handle in the x86 part of KVM and remove the writeback point for
generic code. This also avoids overwriting the flushed state later on if
user space decides to change some more registers before resuming the
guest.
We furthermore need to reinject guest exceptions via the appropriate
mechanism. That is KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG for older kernels and
KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS for recent ones. Using both mechanisms at the same
time will cause state corruptions.

The default action of coalesced MMIO is, cache the writing in buffer, until:
1. The buffer is full.
2. Or the exit to QEmu due to other reasons.
But this would result in a very late writing in some condition.
1. The each time write to MMIO content is small.
2. The writing interval is big.
3. No need for input or accessing other devices frequently.
This issue was observed in a experimental embbed system. The test image
simply print "test" every 1 seconds. The output in QEmu meets expectation,
but the output in KVM is delayed for seconds.
Per Avi's suggestion, I hooked flushing coalesced MMIO buffer in VGA update
handler. By this way, We don't need vcpu explicit exit to QEmu to
handle this issue.

During startup and after reset we have to synchronize user space to the

they change due to VCPU as well as APIC reset.
This patch refactors the required hooks so that kvm_init_vcpu registers
its own per-VCPU reset handler and adds a cpu_synchronize_state to the
APIC reset. That way we no longer depend on the new reset order (and can
drop this disliked interface again) and we can even drop a KVM hook in
main().

This is a backport of the guest debugging support for the KVM
accelerator that is now part of the KVM tree. It implements the reworked
KVM kernel API for guest debugging (KVM_CAP_SET_GUEST_DEBUG) which is
not yet part of any mainline kernel but will probably be 2.6.30 stuff.
So far supported is x86, but PPC is expected to catch up soon.
Core features are:
- unlimited soft-breakpoints via code patching
- hardware-assisted x86 breakpoints and watchpoints
Changes in this version:
- use generic hook cpu_synchronize_state to transfer registers between
user space and kvm
- push kvm_sw_breakpoints into KVMState

MMIO exits are more expensive in KVM or Xen than in QEMU because they
involve, at least, privilege transitions. However, MMIO write
operations can be effectively batched if those writes do not have side
effects.
Good examples of this include VGA pixel operations when in a planar
mode. As it turns out, we can get a nice boost in other areas too.
