KVM: set_memory_region: Identify the requested change explicitly
KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION forces __kvm_set_memory_region() to identify
what kind of change is being requested by checking the arguments. The
current code does this checking at various points in code and each
condition being used there is not easy to understand at first glance.
This patch consolidates these checks and introduces an enum to name the
possible changes to clean up the code.
Although this does not introduce any functional changes, there is one
change which optimizes the code a bit: if we have nothing to change, the
new code returns 0 immediately.
Note that the return value for this case cannot be changed since QEMU
relies on it: we noticed this when we changed it to -EINVAL and got a
section mismatch error at the final stage of live migration.
Instructions with long displacement have a signed displacement.
Currently the sign bit is interpreted as 2^20: Lets fix it by doing the
sign extension from 20bit to 32bit and then use it as a signed variable
in the addition (see kvm_s390_get_base_disp_rsy).
Furthermore, there are lots of "int" in that code. This is problematic,
because shifting on a signed integer is undefined/implementation defined
if the bit value happens to be negative.
Fortunately the promotion rules will make the right hand side unsigned
anyway, so there is no real problem right now.
Let's convert them anyway to unsigned where appropriate to avoid
problems if the code is changed or copy/pasted later on.

kvm: Handle yield_to failure return code for potential undercommit case
yield_to returns -ESRCH, When source and target of yield_to
run queue length is one. When we see three successive failures of
yield_to we assume we are in potential undercommit case and abort
from PLE handler.
The assumption is backed by low probability of wrong decision
for even worst case scenarios such as average runqueue length
between 1 and 2.
More detail on rationale behind using three tries:
if p is the probability of finding rq length one on a particular cpu,
and if we do n tries, then probability of exiting ple handler is:
p^(n+1) [ because we would have come across one source with rq length
1 and n target cpu rqs with length 1 ]
so
num tries: probability of aborting ple handler (1.5x overcommit)
1 1/4
2 1/8
3 1/16
We can increase this probability with more tries, but the problem is
the overhead.
Also, If we have tried three times that means we would have iterated
over 3 good eligible vcpus along with many non-eligible candidates. In
worst case if we iterate all the vcpus, we reduce 1x performance and
overcommit performance get hit.
note that we do not update last boosted vcpu in failure cases.

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.
KVM: Make kvm_mmu_change_mmu_pages() take mmu_lock by itself
No reason to make callers take mmu_lock since we do not need to protect
kvm_mmu_change_mmu_pages() and kvm_mmu_slot_remove_write_access()

calls kvm_mmu_commit_zap_page() and flushes TLBs by itself.

mmu_lock as can be seen from the fact that it is read locklessly.
KVM: MMU: Make kvm_mmu_slot_remove_write_access() rmap based
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.

Calling kvm_mmu_slot_remove_write_access() for a deleted slot does
nothing but search for non-existent mmu pages which have mappings to

operands. This is repeated for every opcode.

of just the opcode and a ret; one for each operand size. For example:

ret

.align 8

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

a page mapped above the main memory with the virtio information;
however, the code includes a hard coded access to that page.
Instead, check for the presence of the page and exit gracefully
before we hit an addressing exception if it does not exist.
The kvm i8254 emulation for counter 0 (but not for counters 1 and 2)
has at least two bugs in mode 0:
1. The OUT bit, computed by pit_get_out(), is never set high.
2. The counter value, computed by pit_get_count(), wraps back around to
the initial counter value, rather than wrapping back to 0xFFFF
(which is the behavior described in the comment in __kpit_elapsed,
the behavior implemented by qemu, and the behavior observed on AMD
hardware).
The bug stems from __kpit_elapsed computing the elapsed time mod the
initial counter value (stored as nanoseconds in ps->period). This is both
unnecessary (none of the callers of kpit_elapsed expect the value to be
at most the initial counter value) and incorrect (it causes pit_get_count
to appear to wrap around to the initial counter value rather than 0xFFFF).
Removing this mod from __kpit_elapsed fixes both of the above bugs.
