Both lock holder vCPU and IPI receiver that has halted are condidate for
boost. However, the PLE handler was originally designed to deal with the
lock holder preemption problem. The Intel PLE occurs when the spinlock
waiter is in kernel mode. This assumption doesn't hold for IPI receiver,
they can be in either kernel or user mode. the vCPU candidate in user mode
will not be boosted even if they should respond to IPIs. Some benchmarks
like pbzip2, swaptions etc do the TLB shootdown in kernel mode and most
of the time they are running in user mode. It can lead to a large number
of continuous PLE events because the IPI sender causes PLE events
repeatedly until the receiver is scheduled while the receiver is not
candidate for a boost.
This patch boosts the vCPU candidiate in user mode which is delivery
interrupt. We can observe the speed of pbzip2 improves 10% in 96 vCPUs
VM in over-subscribe scenario (The host machine is 2 socket, 48 cores,
96 HTs Intel CLX box). There is no performance regression for other
benchmarks like Unixbench spawn (most of the time contend read/write
lock in kernel mode), ebizzy (most of the time contend read/write sem
and TLB shoodtdown in kernel mode).

Add a capability for userspace to mirror SEV encryption context from
one vm to another. On our side, this is intended to support a
Migration Helper vCPU, but it can also be used generically to support
other in-guest workloads scheduled by the host. The intention is for
the primary guest and the mirror to have nearly identical memslots.
The primary benefits of this are that:
1) The VMs do not share KVM contexts (think APIC/MSRs/etc), so they
can't accidentally clobber each other.
2) The VMs can have different memory-views, which is necessary for post-copy
migration (the migration vCPUs on the target need to read and write to
pages, when the primary guest would VMEXIT).
This does not change the threat model for AMD SEV. Any memory involved
is still owned by the primary guest and its initial state is still
attested to through the normal SEV_LAUNCH_* flows. If userspace wanted
to circumvent SEV, they could achieve the same effect by simply attaching
a vCPU to the primary VM.
This patch deliberately leaves userspace in charge of the memslots for the
mirror, as it already has the power to mess with them in the primary guest.
This patch does not support SEV-ES (much less SNP), as it does not
handle handing off attested VMSAs to the mirror.
For additional context, we need a Migration Helper because SEV PSP
migration is far too slow for our live migration on its own. Using
an in-guest migrator lets us speed this up significantly.

Abort the walk of coalesced MMIO zones if kvm_io_bus_unregister_dev()
fails to allocate memory for the new instance of the bus. If it can't
instantiate a new bus, unregister_dev() destroys all devices _except_ the
target device. But, it doesn't tell the caller that it obliterated the
bus and invoked the destructor for all devices that were on the bus. In
the coalesced MMIO case, this can result in a deleted list entry
dereference due to attempting to continue iterating on coalesced_zones
after future entries (in the walk) have been deleted.
Opportunistically add curly braces to the for-loop, which encompasses
many lines but sneaks by without braces due to the guts being a single
if statement.

Move the hva->gfn lookup for MMU notifiers into common code. Every arch
does a similar lookup, and some arch code is all but identical across
multiple architectures.
In addition to consolidating code, this will allow introducing
optimizations that will benefit all architectures without incurring
multiple walks of the memslots, e.g. by taking mmu_lock if and only if a
relevant range exists in the memslots.
The use of __always_inline to avoid indirect call retpolines, as done by
x86, may also benefit other architectures.
Consolidating the lookups also fixes a wart in x86, where the legacy MMU
and TDP MMU each do their own memslot walks.
Lastly, future enhancements to the memslot implementation, e.g. to add an
interval tree to track host address, will need to touch far less arch
specific code.
MIPS, PPC, and arm64 will be converted one at a time in future patches.

Track the range being invalidated by mmu_notifier and skip page fault
retries if the fault address is not affected by the in-progress
invalidation. Handle concurrent invalidations by finding the minimal
range which includes all ranges being invalidated. Although the combined
range may include unrelated addresses and cannot be shrunk as individual
invalidation operations complete, it is unlikely the marginal gains of
proper range tracking are worth the additional complexity.
The primary benefit of this change is the reduction in the likelihood of
extreme latency when handing a page fault due to another thread having
been preempted while modifying host virtual addresses.

Current KVM_USER_MEM_SLOTS limits are arch specific (512 on Power, 509 on x86,
32 on s390, 16 on MIPS) but they don't really need to be. Memory slots are
allocated dynamically in KVM when added so the only real limitation is
'id_to_index' array which is 'short'. We don't have any other
KVM_MEM_SLOTS_NUM/KVM_USER_MEM_SLOTS-sized statically defined structures.
Low KVM_USER_MEM_SLOTS can be a limiting factor for some configurations.
In particular, when QEMU tries to start a Windows guest with Hyper-V SynIC
enabled and e.g. 256 vCPUs the limit is hit as SynIC requires two pages per
vCPU and the guest is free to pick any GFN for each of them, this fragments
memslots as QEMU wants to have a separate memslot for each of these pages
(which are supposed to act as 'overlay' pages).

Because kvm dirty rings and kvm dirty log is used in an exclusive way,
Let's avoid creating the dirty_bitmap when kvm dirty ring is enabled.
At the meantime, since the dirty_bitmap will be conditionally created
now, we can't use it as a sign of "whether this memory slot enabled
dirty tracking". Change users like that to check against the kvm
memory slot flags.
Note that there still can be chances where the kvm memory slot got its
dirty_bitmap allocated, _if_ the memory slots are created before
enabling of the dirty rings and at the same time with the dirty
tracking capability enabled, they'll still with the dirty_bitmap.
However it should not hurt much (e.g., the bitmaps will always be
freed if they are there), and the real users normally won't trigger
this because dirty bit tracking flag should in most cases only be
applied to kvm slots only before migration starts, that should be far
latter than kvm initializes (VM starts).

This patch is heavily based on previous work from Lei Cao
<lei.cao@stratus.com> and Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>. [1]
KVM currently uses large bitmaps to track dirty memory. These bitmaps
are copied to userspace when userspace queries KVM for its dirty page
information. The use of bitmaps is mostly sufficient for live
migration, as large parts of memory are be dirtied from one log-dirty
pass to another. However, in a checkpointing system, the number of
dirty pages is small and in fact it is often bounded---the VM is
paused when it has dirtied a pre-defined number of pages. Traversing a
large, sparsely populated bitmap to find set bits is time-consuming,
as is copying the bitmap to user-space.
A similar issue will be there for live migration when the guest memory
is huge while the page dirty procedure is trivial. In that case for
each dirty sync we need to pull the whole dirty bitmap to userspace
and analyse every bit even if it's mostly zeros.
The preferred data structure for above scenarios is a dense list of
guest frame numbers (GFN). This patch series stores the dirty list in
kernel memory that can be memory mapped into userspace to allow speedy
harvesting.
This patch enables dirty ring for X86 only. However it should be
easily extended to other archs as well.

Entering a guest is similar to exiting to user space. Pending work like
handling signals, rescheduling, task work etc. needs to be handled before
that.
Provide generic infrastructure to avoid duplication of the same handling
code all over the place.
The transfer to guest mode handling is different from the exit to usermode
handling, e.g. vs. rseq and live patching, so a separate function is used.
The initial list of work items handled is:
TIF_SIGPENDING, TIF_NEED_RESCHED, TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME
Architecture specific TIF flags can be added via defines in the
architecture specific include files.
The calling convention is also different from the syscall/interrupt entry
functions as KVM invokes this from the outer vcpu_run() loop with
interrupts and preemption enabled. To prevent missing a pending work item
it invokes a check for pending TIF work from interrupt disabled code right
before transitioning to guest mode. The lockdep, RCU and tracing state
handling is also done directly around the switch to and from guest mode.
