KVM: PPC: e500: Add shadow PID support
Dynamically assign host PIDs to guest PIDs, splitting each guest PID into
multiple host (shadow) PIDs based on kernel/user and MSR[IS/DS]. Use
both PID0 and PID1 so that the shadow PIDs for the right mode can be
selected, that correspond both to guest TID = zero and guest TID = guest
PID.
This allows us to significantly reduce the frequency of needing to
invalidate the entire TLB. When the guest mode or PID changes, we just
update the host PID0/PID1. And since the allocation of shadow PIDs is
global, multiple guests can share the TLB without conflict.
Note that KVM does not yet support the guest setting PID1 or PID2 to
a value other than zero. This will need to be fixed for nested KVM
to work. Until then, we enforce the requirement for guest PID1/PID2
to stay zero by failing the emulation if the guest tries to set them
to something else.

KVM: nVMX: Correct handling of idt vectoring info
This patch adds correct handling of IDT_VECTORING_INFO_FIELD for the nested
case.
When a guest exits while delivering an interrupt or exception, we get this
information in IDT_VECTORING_INFO_FIELD in the VMCS. When L2 exits to L1,
there's nothing we need to do, because L1 will see this field in vmcs12, and
handle it itself. However, when L2 exits and L0 handles the exit itself and
plans to return to L2, L0 must inject this event to L2.
In the normal non-nested case, the idt_vectoring_info case is discovered after
the exit, and the decision to inject (though not the injection itself) is made
at that point. However, in the nested case a decision of whether to return
to L2 or L1 also happens during the injection phase (see the previous
patches), so in the nested case we can only decide what to do about the
idt_vectoring_info right after the injection, i.e., in the beginning of
vmx_vcpu_run, which is the first time we know for sure if we're staying in
L2.
Therefore, when we exit L2 (is_guest_mode(vcpu)), we disable the regular
vmx_complete_interrupts() code which queues the idt_vectoring_info for
injection on next entry - because such injection would not be appropriate
if we will decide to exit to L1. Rather, we just save the idt_vectoring_info
and related fields in vmcs12 (which is a convenient place to save these
fields). On the next entry in vmx_vcpu_run (*after* the injection phase,
potentially exiting to L1 to inject an event requested by user space), if
we find ourselves in L1 we don't need to do anything with those values
we saved (as explained above). But if we find that we're in L2, or rather
*still* at L2 (it's not nested_run_pending, meaning that this is the first
round of L2 running after L1 having just launched it), we need to inject
the event saved in those fields - by writing the appropriate VMCS fields.

KVM: nVMX: Correct handling of interrupt injection
The code in this patch correctly emulates external-interrupt injection
while a nested guest L2 is running.
Because of this code's relative un-obviousness, I include here a longer-than-
usual justification for what it does - much longer than the code itself ;-)
To understand how to correctly emulate interrupt injection while L2 is
running, let's look first at what we need to emulate: How would things look
like if the extra L0 hypervisor layer is removed, and instead of L0 injecting
an interrupt, we had hardware delivering an interrupt?
Now we have L1 running on bare metal with a guest L2, and the hardware
generates an interrupt. Assuming that L1 set PIN_BASED_EXT_INTR_MASK to 1, and
VM_EXIT_ACK_INTR_ON_EXIT to 0 (we'll revisit these assumptions below), what
happens now is this: The processor exits from L2 to L1, with an external-
interrupt exit reason but without an interrupt vector. L1 runs, with
interrupts disabled, and it doesn't yet know what the interrupt was. Soon
after, it enables interrupts and only at that moment, it gets the interrupt
from the processor. when L1 is KVM, Linux handles this interrupt.
Now we need exactly the same thing to happen when that L1->L2 system runs
on top of L0, instead of real hardware. This is how we do this:
When L0 wants to inject an interrupt, it needs to exit from L2 to L1, with
external-interrupt exit reason (with an invalid interrupt vector), and run L1.
Just like in the bare metal case, it likely can't deliver the interrupt to
L1 now because L1 is running with interrupts disabled, in which case it turns
on the interrupt window when running L1 after the exit. L1 will soon enable
interrupts, and at that point L0 will gain control again and inject the
interrupt to L1.
Finally, there is an extra complication in the code: when nested_run_pending,
we cannot return to L1 now, and must launch L2. We need to remember the
interrupt we wanted to inject (and not clear it now), and do it on the
next exit.
The above explanation shows that the relative strangeness of the nested
interrupt injection code in this patch, and the extra interrupt-window
exit incurred, are in fact necessary for accurate emulation, and are not
just an unoptimized implementation.
Let's revisit now the two assumptions made above:
If L1 turns off PIN_BASED_EXT_INTR_MASK (no hypervisor that I know
does, by the way), things are simple: L0 may inject the interrupt directly
to the L2 guest - using the normal code path that injects to any guest.
We support this case in the code below.
If L1 turns on VM_EXIT_ACK_INTR_ON_EXIT, things look very different from the
description above: L1 expects to see an exit from L2 with the interrupt vector
already filled in the exit information, and does not expect to be interrupted
again with this interrupt. The current code does not (yet) support this case,
so we do not allow the VM_EXIT_ACK_INTR_ON_EXIT exit-control to be turned on
by L1.

KVM: nVMX: Deciding if L0 or L1 should handle an L2 exit
This patch contains the logic of whether an L2 exit should be handled by L0
and then L2 should be resumed, or whether L1 should be run to handle this
exit (using the nested_vmx_vmexit() function of the previous patch).
The basic idea is to let L1 handle the exit only if it actually asked to
trap this sort of event. For example, when L2 exits on a change to CR0,
we check L1's CR0_GUEST_HOST_MASK to see if L1 expressed interest in any
bit which changed; If it did, we exit to L1. But if it didn't it means that
it is we (L0) that wished to trap this event, so we handle it ourselves.
The next two patches add additional logic of what to do when an interrupt or
exception is injected: Does L0 need to do it, should we exit to L1 to do it,
or should we resume L2 and keep the exception to be injected later.
We keep a new flag, "nested_run_pending", which can override the decision of
which should run next, L1 or L2. nested_run_pending=1 means that we *must* run
L2 next, not L1. This is necessary in particular when L1 did a VMLAUNCH of L2
and therefore expects L2 to be run (and perhaps be injected with an event it
specified, etc.). Nested_run_pending is especially intended to avoid switching
to L1 in the injection decision-point described above.

KVM: nVMX: Allow setting the VMXE bit in CR4
This patch allows the guest to enable the VMXE bit in CR4, which is a
prerequisite to running VMXON.
Whether to allow setting the VMXE bit now depends on the architecture (svm
or vmx), so its checking has moved to kvm_x86_ops->set_cr4(). This function
now returns an int: If kvm_x86_ops->set_cr4() returns 1, __kvm_set_cr4()
will also return 1, and this will cause kvm_set_cr4() will throw a #GP.
Turning on the VMXE bit is allowed only when the nested VMX feature is
enabled, and turning it off is forbidden after a vmxon.

KVM: nVMX: Implement VMXON and VMXOFF
This patch allows a guest to use the VMXON and VMXOFF instructions, and
emulates them accordingly. Basically this amounts to checking some
prerequisites, and then remembering whether the guest has enabled or disabled
VMX operation.

KVM: nVMX: Add "nested" module option to kvm_intel
This patch adds to kvm_intel a module option "nested". This option controls
whether the guest can use VMX instructions, i.e., whether we allow nested
virtualization. A similar, but separate, option already exists for the
SVM module.
This option currently defaults to 0, meaning that nested VMX must be
explicitly enabled by giving nested=1. When nested VMX matures, the default
should probably be changed to enable nested VMX by default - just like
nested SVM is currently enabled by default.

KVM: x86 emulator: Avoid clearing the whole decode_cache
During tracing the emulator, we noticed that init_emulate_ctxt()
sometimes took a bit longer time than we expected.
This patch is for mitigating the problem by some degree.
By looking into the function, we soon notice that it clears the whole
decode_cache whose size is about 2.5K bytes now. Furthermore, most of
the bytes are taken for the two read_cache arrays, which are used only
by a few instructions.
Considering the fact that we are not assuming the cache arrays have
been cleared when we store actual data, we do not need to clear the
arrays: 2K bytes elimination. In addition, we can avoid clearing the
fetch_cache and regs arrays.
This patch changes the initialization not to clear the arrays.
On our 64-bit host, init_emulate_ctxt() becomes 0.3 to 0.5us faster with
this patch applied.

KVM: Clean up error handling during VCPU creation
So far kvm_arch_vcpu_setup is responsible for freeing the vcpu struct if
it fails. Move this confusing resonsibility back into the hands of
kvm_vm_ioctl_create_vcpu. Only kvm_arch_vcpu_setup of x86 is affected,
all other archs cannot fail.

KVM: VMX: Keep list of loaded VMCSs, instead of vcpus
In VMX, before we bring down a CPU we must VMCLEAR all VMCSs loaded on it
because (at least in theory) the processor might not have written all of its
content back to memory. Since a patch from June 26, 2008, this is done using
a per-cpu "vcpus_on_cpu" linked list of vcpus loaded on each CPU.
The problem is that with nested VMX, we no longer have the concept of a
vcpu being loaded on a cpu: A vcpu has multiple VMCSs (one for L1, a pool for
L2s), and each of those may be have been last loaded on a different cpu.
So instead of linking the vcpus, we link the VMCSs, using a new structure
loaded_vmcs. This structure contains the VMCS, and the information pertaining
to its loading on a specific cpu (namely, the cpu number, and whether it
was already launched on this cpu once). In nested we will also use the same
structure to hold L2 VMCSs, and vmx->loaded_vmcs is a pointer to the
currently active VMCS.

KVM: x86 emulator: Place insn_fetch helpers together
The two macros need special care to use:
Assume rc, ctxt, ops and done exist outside of them.
Can goto outside.
Considering the fact that these are used only in decode functions,
moving these right after do_insn_fetch() seems to be a right thing
to improve the readability.
We also rename do_fetch_insn_byte() to do_insn_fetch_byte() to be
consistent.

Documentation/CodingStyle chapter 14 is incomplete. This patch adds
