1871c6020d KVM: x86 emulator: fix memory access during x86 emulation
Currently when x86 emulator needs to access memory, page walk is done with
broadest permission possible, so if emulated instruction was executed
by userspace process it can still access kernel memory. Fix that by
providing correct memory access to page walker during emulation.

4d4ec08745 KVM: Replace read accesses of vcpu->arch.cr0 by an accessor
Since we'd like to allow the guest to own a few bits of cr0 at times, we need
to know when we access those bits.

fc78f51938 KVM: Add accessor for reading cr4 (or some bits of cr4)
Some bits of cr4 can be owned by the guest on vmx, so when we read them,
we copy them to the vcpu structure.  In preparation for making the set of
guest-owned bits dynamic, use helpers to access these bits so we don't need
to know where the bit resides.

No changes to svm since all bits are host-owned there.

43a3795a3a KVM: MMU: Adjust pte accessors to explicitly indicate guest or shadow pte
Since the guest and host ptes can have wildly different format, adjust
the pte accessor names to indicate on which type of pte they operate on.

No functional changes.

41d6af1192 KVM: is_long_mode() should check for EFER.LMA
is_long_mode currently checks the LongModeEnable bit in
EFER instead of the LongModeActive bit. This is wrong, but
we survived this till now since it wasn't triggered. This
breaks guests that go from long mode to compatibility mode.

This is noticed on a solaris guest and fixes bug #1842160

1b7fcd3263 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.
