Current linear search doesn't scale well when
large amount of memslots is used and looked up slot
is not in the beginning memslots array.
Taking in account that memslots don't overlap, it's
possible to switch sorting order of memslots array from
'npages' to 'base_gfn' and use binary search for
memslot lookup by GFN.
As result of switching to binary search lookup times
are reduced with large amount of memslots.
Following is a table of search_memslot() cycles
during WS2008R2 guest boot.

In typical guest boot workload only 2-3 memslots are used
extensively, and at that it's mostly the same memslot
lookup operation.
Adding LRU cache improves average lookup time from
46 to 28 cycles (~40%) for this workload.

Memory regions may be incoherent with the caches, typically when the
guest has mapped a host system RAM backed memory region as uncached.
Add a flag KVM_MEMSLOT_INCOHERENT so that we can tag these memslots
and handle them appropriately when mapping them.

This reverts commit 85c8555ff0 ("KVM: check for !is_zero_pfn() in
kvm_is_mmio_pfn()") and renames the function to kvm_is_reserved_pfn.
The problem being addressed by the patch above was that some ARM code
based the memory mapping attributes of a pfn on the return value of
kvm_is_mmio_pfn(), whose name indeed suggests that such pfns should
be mapped as device memory.
However, kvm_is_mmio_pfn() doesn't do quite what it says on the tin,
and the existing non-ARM users were already using it in a way which
suggests that its name should probably have been 'kvm_is_reserved_pfn'
from the beginning, e.g., whether or not to call get_page/put_page on
it etc. This means that returning false for the zero page is a mistake
and the patch above should be reverted.

Now that ia64 is gone, we can hide deprecated device assignment in x86.
Notable changes:
- kvm_vm_ioctl_assigned_device() was moved to x86/kvm_arch_vm_ioctl()
The easy parts were removed from generic kvm code, remaining
- kvm_iommu_(un)map_pages() would require new code to be moved
- struct kvm_assigned_dev_kernel depends on struct kvm_irq_ack_notifier

After commit 80ce163 (KVM: VFIO: register kvm_device_ops dynamically),
kvm_device_ops of vfio can be registered dynamically. Commit 3c3c29fd

kvm_init in order to fix broke unloading of the kvm module. However,
kvm_device_ops of vfio is unregistered after rmmod kvm-intel module

Currently, the APIC access page is pinned by KVM for the entire life
of the guest. We want to make it migratable in order to make memory
hot-unplug available for machines that run KVM.
This patch prepares to handle this in generic code, through a new
request bit (that will be set by the MMU notifier) and a new hook
that is called whenever the request bit is processed.

When KVM handles a tdp fault it uses FOLL_NOWAIT. If the guest memory
has been swapped out or is behind a filemap, this will trigger async
readahead and return immediately. The rationale is that KVM will kick
back the guest with an "async page fault" and allow for some other
guest process to take over.
If async PFs are enabled the fault is retried asap from an async
workqueue. If not, it's retried immediately in the same code path. In
either case the retry will not relinquish the mmap semaphore and will
block on the IO. This is a bad thing, as other mmap semaphore users
now stall as a function of swap or filemap latency.
This patch ensures both the regular and async PF path re-enter the
fault allowing for the mmap semaphore to be relinquished in the case
of IO wait.

kvm_ioctl_create_device currently has knowledge of all the device types

for new in-kernel device emulations, so move what we currently have out
into a table, which can support dynamic registration of ops by new

Commits e4d57e1ee1ab (KVM: Move irq notifier implementation into
eventfd.c, 2014-06-30) included the irq notifier code unconditionally
in eventfd.c, while it was under CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQCHIP before.
Similarly, commit 297e21053a52 (KVM: Give IRQFD its own separate enabling
Kconfig option, 2014-06-30) moved code from CONFIG_HAVE_IRQ_ROUTING
to CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQFD but forgot to move the pieces that used to be
under CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQCHIP.
Together, this broke compilation without CONFIG_KVM_XICS. Fix by adding

Currently, the IRQFD code is conditional on CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQ_ROUTING.
So that we can have the IRQFD code compiled in without having the
IRQ routing code, this creates a new CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQFD, makes
the IRQFD code conditional on it instead of CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQ_ROUTING,
and makes all the platforms that currently select HAVE_KVM_IRQ_ROUTING
also select HAVE_KVM_IRQFD.

Now that struct _irqfd does not keep a reference to storage pointed
to by the irq_routing field of struct kvm, we can move the statement
that updates it out from under the irqfds.lock and put it in
kvm_set_irq_routing() instead. That means we then have to take a
srcu_read_lock on kvm->irq_srcu around the irqfd_update call in
kvm_irqfd_assign(), since holding the kvm->irqfds.lock no longer
ensures that that the routing can't change.
Combined with changing kvm_irq_map_gsi() and kvm_irq_map_chip_pin()
to take a struct kvm * argument instead of the pointer to the routing
table, this allows us to to move all references to kvm->irq_routing
into irqchip.c. That in turn allows us to move the definition of the
kvm_irq_routing_table struct into irqchip.c as well.

This provides accessor functions for the KVM interrupt mappings, in
order to reduce the amount of code that accesses the fields of the
kvm_irq_routing_table struct, and restrict that code to one file,
virt/kvm/irqchip.c. The new functions are kvm_irq_map_gsi(), which
maps from a global interrupt number to a set of IRQ routing entries,
and kvm_irq_map_chip_pin, which maps from IRQ chip and pin numbers to
a global interrupt number.
This also moves the update of kvm_irq_routing_table::chip[][]
into irqchip.c, out of the various kvm_set_routing_entry
implementations. That means that none of the kvm_set_routing_entry
implementations need the kvm_irq_routing_table argument anymore,
so this removes it.
This does not change any locking or data lifetime rules.

When starting lots of dataplane devices the bootup takes very long on
Christian's s390 with irqfd patches. With larger setups he is even
able to trigger some timeouts in some components. Turns out that the
KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING ioctl takes very long (strace claims up to 0.1 sec)
when having multiple CPUs. This is caused by the synchronize_rcu and
the HZ=100 of s390. By changing the code to use a private srcu we can
speed things up. This patch reduces the boot time till mounting root
from 8 to 2 seconds on my s390 guest with 100 disks.
Uses of hlist_for_each_entry_rcu, hlist_add_head_rcu, hlist_del_init_rcu
are fine because they do not have lockdep checks (hlist_for_each_entry_rcu
uses rcu_dereference_raw rather than rcu_dereference, and write-sides
do not do rcu lockdep at all).
Note that we're hardly relying on the "sleepable" part of srcu. We just
want SRCU's faster detection of grace periods.
Testing was done by Andrew Theurer using netperf tests STREAM, MAERTS
and RR. The difference between results "before" and "after" the patch
has mean -0.2% and standard deviation 0.6%. Using a paired t-test on the
data points says that there is a 2.5% probability that the patch is the
cause of the performance difference (rather than a random fluctuation).
(Restricting the t-test to RR, which is the most likely to be affected,
changes the numbers to respectively -0.3% mean, 0.7% stdev, and 8%
probability that the numbers actually say something about the patch.
The probability increases mostly because there are fewer data points).

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvms390/linux into queue
Lazy storage key handling
-------------------------
Linux does not use the ACC and F bits of the storage key. Newer Linux
versions also do not use the storage keys for dirty and reference
tracking. We can optimize the guest handling for those guests for faults
as well as page-in and page-out by simply not caring about the guest
visible storage key. We trap guest storage key instruction to enable
those keys only on demand.
Migration bitmap
Until now s390 never provided a proper dirty bitmap. Let's provide a
proper migration bitmap for s390. We also change the user dirty tracking
to a fault based mechanism. This makes the host completely independent
from the storage keys. Long term this will allow us to back guest memory
with large pages.
per-VM device attributes
------------------------
To avoid the introduction of new ioctls, let's provide the
attribute semanantic also on the VM-"device".
Userspace controlled CMMA
-------------------------
The CMMA assist is changed from "always on" to "on if requested" via
per-VM device attributes. In addition a callback to reset all usage
states is provided.
Proper guest DAT handling for intercepts
----------------------------------------
While instructions handled by SIE take care of all addressing aspects,
KVM/s390 currently does not care about guest address translation of
intercepts. This worked out fine, because
- the s390 Linux kernel has a 1:1 mapping between kernel virtual<->real
for all pages up to memory size
- intercepts happen only for a small amount of cases
- all of these intercepts happen to be in the kernel text for current
distros
Of course we need to be better for other intercepts, kernel modules etc.
We provide the infrastructure and rework all in-kernel intercepts to work
on logical addresses (paging etc) instead of real ones. The code has
been running internally for several months now, so it is time for going
public.
GDB support
-----------
We provide breakpoints, single stepping and watchpoints.
Fixes/Cleanups
--------------
- Improve program check delivery
- Factor out the handling of transactional memory on program checks
- Use the existing define __LC_PGM_TDB
- Several cleanups in the lowcore structure
- Documentation
NOTES
-----
- All patches touching base s390 are either ACKed or written by the s390

It's quite common (in the s390 guest access code) to test if a guest
physical address points to a valid guest memory area or not.
So add a simple helper function in common code, since this might be
of interest for other architectures as well.

With KVM, MMIO is much slower than PIO, due to the need to
do page walk and emulation. But with EPT, it does not have to be: we
know the address from the VMCS so if the address is unique, we can look
up the eventfd directly, bypassing emulation.
Unfortunately, this only works if userspace does not need to match on
access length and data. The implementation adds a separate FAST_MMIO
bus internally. This serves two purposes:
- minimize overhead for old userspace that does not use eventfd with lengtth = 0
- minimize disruption in other code (since we don't know the length,
devices on the MMIO bus only get a valid address in write, this
way we don't need to touch all devices to teach them to handle
an invalid length)
At the moment, this optimization only has effect for EPT on x86.
It will be possible to speed up MMIO for NPT and MMU using the same
idea in the future.
With this patch applied, on VMX MMIO EVENTFD is essentially as fast as PIO.
I was unable to detect any measureable slowdown to non-eventfd MMIO.
Making MMIO faster is important for the upcoming virtio 1.0 which
includes an MMIO signalling capability.
The idea was suggested by Peter Anvin. Lots of thanks to Gleb for
pre-review and suggestions.

The maximum number for irq routes is currently 1024, which is a bit on
the small size for s390: We support up to 4 x 64k virtual devices with
up to 64 queues, and we need one route for each of the queues if we want
to operate it via irqfd.
Let's bump this to 4k on s390 for now, as this at least covers the saner
setups.
We need to find a more general solution, though, as we can't just grow
the routing table indefinitly.

Introduce a new interrupt class for s390 adapter interrupts and enable
irqfds for s390.
This is depending on a new s390 specific vm capability, KVM_CAP_S390_IRQCHIP,
that needs to be enabled by userspace.

When this was introduced, kvm_flush_remote_tlbs() could be called
without holding mmu_lock. It is now acknowledged that the function
must be called before releasing mmu_lock, and all callers have already
been changed to do so.
There is no need to use smp_mb() and cmpxchg() any more.

By setting a Kconfig option, the architecture can control when
guest notifications will be presented by the apf backend.
There is the default batch mechanism, working as before, where the vcpu
thread should pull in this information.
Opposite to this, there is now the direct mechanism, that will push the
information to the guest.
This way s390 can use an already existing architecture interface.
Still the vcpu thread should call check_completion to cleanup leftovers.

This patch adds a floating irq controller as a kvm_device.
It will be necessary for migration of floating interrupts as well
as for hardening the reset code by allowing user space to explicitly
remove all pending floating interrupts.

Support creating the ARM VGIC device through the KVM_CREATE_DEVICE
ioctl, which can then later be leveraged to use the
KVM_{GET/SET}_DEVICE_ATTR, which is useful both for setting addresses in
a more generic API than the ARM-specific one and is useful for
save/restore of VGIC state.
Adds KVM_CAP_DEVICE_CTRL to ARM capabilities.
Note that we change the check for creating a VGIC from bailing out if
any VCPUs were created, to bailing out if any VCPUs were ever run. This
is an important distinction that shouldn't break anything, but allows
creating the VGIC after the VCPUs have been created.

Since the commit 15ad7146 ("KVM: Use the scheduler preemption notifiers
to make kvm preemptible"), the remaining stuff in this function is a
simple cond_resched() call with an extra need_resched() check which was
there to avoid dropping VCPUs unnecessarily. Now it is meaningless.

We currently use some ad-hoc arch variables tied to legacy KVM device
assignment to manage emulation of instructions that depend on whether
non-coherent DMA is present. Create an interface for this, adapting
legacy KVM device assignment and adding VFIO via the KVM-VFIO device.
For now we assume that non-coherent DMA is possible any time we have a
VFIO group. Eventually an interface can be developed as part of the
VFIO external user interface to query the coherency of a group.

So far we've succeeded at making KVM and VFIO mostly unaware of each
other, but areas are cropping up where a connection beyond eventfds
and irqfds needs to be made. This patch introduces a KVM-VFIO device
that is meant to be a gateway for such interaction. The user creates
the device and can add and remove VFIO groups to it via file
descriptors. When a group is added, KVM verifies the group is valid
and gets a reference to it via the VFIO external user interface.
