This implements a shared-memory API for giving host userspace access to
the guest's TLB.

On some cpus the overhead for virtualization instructions is in the same
range as a system call. Having to call multiple ioctls to get set registers
will make certain userspace handled exits more expensive than necessary.
Lets provide a section in kvm_run that works as a shared save area
for guest registers.
We also provide two 64bit flags fields (architecture specific), that will
specify
1. which parts of these fields are valid.
2. which registers were modified by userspace
Each bit for these flag fields will define a group of registers (like
general purpose) or a single register.

This patch allows the user to fault in pages on a virtual cpus
address space for user controlled virtual machines. Typically this
is superfluous because userspace can just create a mapping and
let the kernel's page fault logic take are of it. There is one
exception: SIE won't start if the lowcore is not present. Normally
the kernel takes care of this [handle_validity() in
arch/s390/kvm/intercept.c] but since the kernel does not handle
intercepts for user controlled virtual machines, userspace needs to
be able to handle this condition.

This patch exports the s390 SIE hardware control block to userspace
via the mapping of the vcpu file descriptor. In order to do so,
a new arch callback named kvm_arch_vcpu_fault is introduced for all
architectures. It allows to map architecture specific pages.

This patch introduces a new exit reason in the kvm_run structure
named KVM_EXIT_S390_UCONTROL. This exit indicates, that a virtual cpu
has regognized a fault on the host page table. The idea is that
userspace can handle this fault by mapping memory at the fault
location into the cpu's address space and then continue to run the
virtual cpu.

This patch introduces two ioctls for virtual cpus, that are only
valid for kernel virtual machines that are controlled by userspace.
Each virtual cpu has its individual address space in this mode of
operation, and each address space is backed by the gmap
implementation just like the address space for regular KVM guests.
KVM_S390_UCAS_MAP allows to map a part of the user's virtual address
space to the vcpu. Starting offset and length in both the user and
the vcpu address space need to be aligned to 1M.
KVM_S390_UCAS_UNMAP can be used to unmap a range of memory from a
virtual cpu in a similar way.

This patch introduces a new config option for user controlled kernel
virtual machines. It introduces a parameter to KVM_CREATE_VM that
allows to set bits that alter the capabilities of the newly created
virtual machine.
The parameter is passed to kvm_arch_init_vm for all architectures.
The only valid modifier bit for now is KVM_VM_S390_UCONTROL.
This requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN privileges and creates a user controlled
virtual machine on s390 architectures.

Quoth Len:
"This fixes a merge-window regression due to a conflict
between error injection and preparation to remove atomicio.c
Here we fix that regression and complete the removal
of atomicio.c.
This also re-orders some idle initialization code to
complete the merge window series that allows cpuidle
to cope with bringing processors on-line after boot."
* 'release' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lenb/linux:
