Coalesced pio is based on coalesced mmio and can be used for some port
like rtc port, pci-host config port and so on.
Specially in case of rtc as coalesced pio, some versions of windows guest
access rtc frequently because of rtc as system tick. guest access rtc like
this: write register index to 0x70, then write or read data from 0x71.
writing 0x70 port is just as index and do nothing else. So we can use
coalesced pio to handle this scene to reduce VM-EXIT time.
When starting and closing a virtual machine, it will access pci-host config
port frequently. So setting these port as coalesced pio can reduce startup
and shutdown time.
without my patch, get the vm-exit time of accessing rtc 0x70 and piix 0xcf8

update_memslots() is only called by __kvm_set_memory_region(), in which
"change" is calculated and indicates how to adjust slots->used_slots
* increase by one if it is KVM_MR_CREATE
* decrease by one if it is KVM_MR_DELETE
* not change for others
This patch adjusts slots->used_slots in update_memslots() based on "change"
value instead of re-calculate those states again.

There are several blockable mmu notifiers which might sleep in
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start and that is a problem for the
oom_reaper because it needs to guarantee a forward progress so it cannot
depend on any sleepable locks.
Currently we simply back off and mark an oom victim with blockable mmu
notifiers as done after a short sleep. That can result in selecting a new
oom victim prematurely because the previous one still hasn't torn its
memory down yet.
We can do much better though. Even if mmu notifiers use sleepable locks
there is no reason to automatically assume those locks are held. Moreover
majority of notifiers only care about a portion of the address space and
there is absolutely zero reason to fail when we are unmapping an unrelated
range. Many notifiers do really block and wait for HW which is harder to
handle and we have to bail out though.
This patch handles the low hanging fruit.
__mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start gets a blockable flag and callbacks
are not allowed to sleep if the flag is set to false. This is achieved by
using trylock instead of the sleepable lock for most callbacks and
continue as long as we do not block down the call chain.
I think we can improve that even further because there is a common pattern
to do a range lookup first and then do something about that. The first
part can be done without a sleeping lock in most cases AFAICS.
The oom_reaper end then simply retries if there is at least one notifier
which couldn't make any progress in !blockable mode. A retry loop is
already implemented to wait for the mmap_sem and this is basically the
same thing.
The simplest way for driver developers to test this code path is to wrap
userspace code which uses these notifiers into a memcg and set the hard
limit to hit the oom. This can be done e.g. after the test faults in all
the mmu notifier managed memory and set the hard limit to something really
small. Then we are looking for a proper process tear down.

Pull core signal handling updates from Eric Biederman:
"It was observed that a periodic timer in combination with a
sufficiently expensive fork could prevent fork from every completing.
This contains the changes to remove the need for that restart.
This set of changes is split into several parts:
- The first part makes PIDTYPE_TGID a proper pid type instead
something only for very special cases. The part starts using
PIDTYPE_TGID enough so that in __send_signal where signals are
actually delivered we know if the signal is being sent to a a group
of processes or just a single process.
- With that prep work out of the way the logic in fork is modified so
that fork logically makes signals received while it is running
appear to be received after the fork completes"

We are currently cutting hva_to_pfn_fast short if we do not want an
immediate exit, which is represented by !async && !atomic. However,
this is unnecessary, and __get_user_pages_fast is *much* faster
because the regular get_user_pages takes pmd_lock/pte_lock.
In fact, when many CPUs take a nested vmexit at the same time
the contention on those locks is visible, and this patch removes
about 25% (compared to 4.18) from vmexit.flat on a 16 vCPU
nested guest.

The current behaviour of the compat ioctls is a bit odd.
We provide a compat_ioctl method when KVM_COMPAT is set, and NULL
otherwise. But NULL means that the normal, non-compat ioctl should
be used directly for compat tasks, and there is no way to actually
prevent a compat task from issueing KVM ioctls.
This patch changes this behaviour, by always registering a compat_ioctl
method, even if KVM_COMPAT is not selected. In that case, the callback
will always return -EINVAL.

This includes the explicit overflow fixes from Silvio, further
struct_size() conversions from Matthew, and a bug fix from Dan.
But the bulk of it is the treewide conversions to use either the

kmalloc_array(a, b, ...) or the array_size() macros (e.g. vmalloc(a *
b) into vmalloc(array_size(a, b)).
Coccinelle was fighting me on several fronts, so I've done a bunch of
manual whitespace updates in the patches as well.

KVM/ARM differs from other architectures in having to maintain an
additional virtual address space from that of the host and the
guest, because we split the execution of KVM across both EL1 and
EL2.
This results in a need to explicitly map data structures into EL2
(hyp) which are accessed from the hyp code. As we are about to be
more clever with our FPSIMD handling on arm64, which stores data in
the task struct and uses thread_info flags, we will have to map
parts of the currently executing task struct into the EL2 virtual
address space.
However, we don't want to do this on every KVM_RUN, because it is a
fairly expensive operation to walk the page tables, and the common
execution mode is to map a single thread to a VCPU. By introducing
a hook that architectures can select with
HAVE_KVM_VCPU_RUN_PID_CHANGE, we do not introduce overhead for
other architectures, but have a simple way to only map the data we
need when required for arm64.
This patch introduces the framework only, and wires it up in the
arm/arm64 KVM common code.
No functional change.
