KVM: MMU: Fix potential race setting upper shadow ptes on nonpae hosts
The direct mapped shadow code (used for real mode and two dimensional paging)
sets upper-level ptes using direct assignment rather than calling
set_shadow_pte(). A nonpae host will split this into two writes, which opens
up a race if another vcpu accesses the same memory area.
Fix by calling set_shadow_pte() instead of assigning directly.

KVM: Add coalesced MMIO support (common part)
This patch adds all needed structures to coalesce MMIOs.
Until an architecture uses it, it is not compiled.
Coalesced MMIO introduces two ioctl() to define where are the MMIO zones that
can be coalesced:
- KVM_REGISTER_COALESCED_MMIO registers a coalesced MMIO zone.
It requests one parameter (struct kvm_coalesced_mmio_zone) which defines
a memory area where MMIOs can be coalesced until the next switch to
user space. The maximum number of MMIO zones is KVM_COALESCED_MMIO_ZONE_MAX.
- KVM_UNREGISTER_COALESCED_MMIO cancels all registered zones inside
the given bounds (bounds are also given by struct kvm_coalesced_mmio_zone).
The userspace client can check kernel coalesced MMIO availability by asking
ioctl(KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION) for the KVM_CAP_COALESCED_MMIO capability.
The ioctl() call to KVM_CAP_COALESCED_MMIO will return 0 if not supported,
or the page offset where will be stored the ring buffer.
The page offset depends on the architecture.
After an ioctl(KVM_RUN), the first page of the KVM memory mapped points to
a kvm_run structure. The offset given by KVM_CAP_COALESCED_MMIO is
an offset to the coalesced MMIO ring expressed in PAGE_SIZE relatively
to the address of the start of th kvm_run structure. The MMIO ring buffer
is defined by the structure kvm_coalesced_mmio_ring.

VMX hardware can cache the contents of a vcpu's vmcs. This cache needs
to be flushed when migrating a vcpu to another cpu, or (which is the case
that interests us here) when disabling hardware virtualization on a cpu.
The current implementation of decaching iterates over the list of all vcpus,
picks the ones that are potentially cached on the cpu that is being offlined,
and flushes the cache. The problem is that it uses mutex_trylock() to gain
exclusive access to the vcpu, which fires off a (benign) warning about using
the mutex in an interrupt context.
To avoid this, and to make things generally nicer, add a new per-cpu list
of potentially cached vcus. This makes the decaching code much simpler. The
list is vmx-specific since other hardware doesn't have this issue.

KVM: MMU: Fix false flooding when a pte points to page table
The KVM MMU tries to detect when a speculative pte update is not actually
used by demand fault, by checking the accessed bit of the shadow pte. If
the shadow pte has not been accessed, we deem that page table flooded and
remove the shadow page table, allowing further pte updates to proceed
without emulation.
However, if the pte itself points at a page table and only used for write
operations, the accessed bit will never be set since all access will happen
through the emulator.
This is exactly what happens with kscand on old (2.4.x) HIGHMEM kernels.
The kernel points a kmap_atomic() pte at a page table, and then
proceeds with read-modify-write operations to look at the dirty and accessed
bits. We get a false flood trigger on the kmap ptes, which results in the
mmu spending all its time setting up and tearing down shadows.
Fix by setting the shadow accessed bit on emulated accesses.

KVM: SVM: Fake MSR_K7 performance counters
Attached is a patch that fixes a guest crash when booting older Linux kernels.
The problem stems from the fact that we are currently emulating
MSR_K7_EVNTSEL[0-3], but not emulating MSR_K7_PERFCTR[0-3]. Because of this,
setup_k7_watchdog() in the Linux kernel receives a GPF when it attempts to
write into MSR_K7_PERFCTR, which causes an OOPs.
The patch fixes it by just "fake" emulating the appropriate MSRs, throwing
away the data in the process. This causes the NMI watchdog to not actually
work, but it's not such a big deal in a virtualized environment.
When we get a write to one of these counters, we printk_ratelimit() a warning.
I decided to print it out for all writes, even if the data is 0; it doesn't
seem to make sense to me to special case when data == 0.
Tested by myself on a RHEL-4 guest, and Joerg Roedel on a Windows XP 64-bit
guest.

KVM: PIT: support mode 3
The in-kernel PIT emulation ignores pending timers if operating
under mode 3, which for example Hurd uses.
This mode should output a square wave, high for (N+1)/2 counts and low
for (N-1)/2 counts. As we only care about the resulting interrupts, the
period is N, and mode 3 is the same as mode 2 with regard to

fix dangling zombie when new parent ignores children
This fixes an arcane bug that we think was a regression introduced
by commit
b2b2cbc4b2a2f389442549399a993a8306420baf. When a parent
ignores SIGCHLD (or uses SA_NOCLDWAIT), its children would self-reap
but they don't if it's using ptrace on them. When the parent thread
later exits and ceases to ptrace a child but leaves other live
threads in the parent's thread group, any zombie children are left
dangling. The fix makes them self-reap then, as they would have
done earlier if ptrace had not been in use.

do_wait: return security_task_wait() error code in place of -ECHILD
This reverts the effect of commit
f2cc3eb133baa2e9dc8efd40f417106b2ee520f3
"do_wait: fix security checks". That change reverted the effect of commit
73243284463a761e04d69d22c7516b2be7de096c. The rationale for the original
commit still stands. The inconsistent treatment of children hidden by
ptrace was an unintended omission in the original change and in no way
invalidates its purpose.
This makes do_wait return the error returned by security_task_wait()
(usually -EACCES) in place of -ECHILD when there are some children the
caller would be able to wait for if not for the permission failure. A
permission error will give the user a clue to look for security policy
problems, rather than for mysterious wait bugs.

ptrace children revamp
ptrace no longer fiddles with the children/sibling links, and the
old ptrace_children list is gone. Now ptrace, whether of one's own
children or another's via PTRACE_ATTACH, just uses the new ptraced
list instead.
There should be no user-visible difference that matters. The only
change is the order in which do_wait() sees multiple stopped
children and stopped ptrace attachees. Since wait_task_stopped()
was changed earlier so it no longer reorders the children list, we
already know this won't cause any new problems.

do_wait reorganization
This breaks out the guts of do_wait into three subfunctions.
The control flow is less nonobvious without so much goto.
do_wait_thread and ptrace_do_wait contain the main work of the outer loop.
wait_consider_task contains the main work of the inner loop.
