Currently, write protecting a slot needs to walk all the shadow pages
and checks ones which have a pte mapping a page in it.
The walk is overly heavy when dirty pages in that slot are not so many
and checking the shadow pages would result in unwanted cache pollution.
To mitigate this problem, we use rmap_write_protect() and check only
the sptes which can be reached from gfns marked in the dirty bitmap
when the number of dirty pages are less than that of shadow pages.
This criterion is reasonable in its meaning and worked well in our test:
write protection became some times faster than before when the ratio of
dirty pages are low and was not worse even when the ratio was near the
criterion.
Note that the locking for this write protection becomes fine grained.
The reason why this is safe is descripted in the comments.

rmap_write_protect() calls gfn_to_rmap() for each level with gfn fixed.
This results in calling gfn_to_memslot() repeatedly with that gfn.
This patch introduces __gfn_to_rmap() which takes the slot as an
argument to avoid this.
This is also needed for the following dirty logging optimization.

When L0 wishes to inject an interrupt while L2 is running, it emulates an exit
to L1 with EXIT_REASON_EXTERNAL_INTERRUPT. This was explained in the original
nVMX patch 23, titled "Correct handling of interrupt injection".
Unfortunately, it is possible (though rare) that at this point there is valid
idt_vectoring_info in vmcs02. For example, L1 injected some interrupt to L2,
and when L2 tried to run this interrupt's handler, it got a page fault - so
it returns the original interrupt vector in idt_vectoring_info. The problem
is that if this is the case, we cannot exit to L1 with EXTERNAL_INTERRUPT
like we wished to, because the VMX spec guarantees that idt_vectoring_info
and exit_reason_external_interrupt can never happen together. This is not
just specified in the spec - a KVM L1 actually prints a kernel warning
"unexpected, valid vectoring info" if we violate this guarantee, and some
users noticed these warnings in L1's logs.
In order to better emulate a processor, which would never return the external
interrupt and the idt-vectoring-info together, we need to separate the two
injection steps: First, complete L1's injection into L2 (i.e., enter L2,
injecting to it the idt-vectoring-info); Second, after entry into L2 succeeds
and it exits back to L0, exit to L1 with the EXIT_REASON_EXTERNAL_INTERRUPT.
Most of this is already in the code - the only change we need is to remain
in L2 (and not exit to L1) in this case.
Note that the previous patch ensures (by using KVM_REQ_IMMEDIATE_EXIT) that
although we do enter L2 first, it will exit immediately after processing its
injection, allowing us to promptly inject to L1.
Note how we test vmcs12->idt_vectoring_info_field; This isn't really the
vmcs12 value (we haven't exited to L1 yet, so vmcs12 hasn't been updated),
but rather the place we save, at the end of vmx_vcpu_run, the vmcs02 value
of this field. This was explained in patch 25 ("Correct handling of idt
vectoring info") of the original nVMX patch series.

This patch adds a new vcpu->requests bit, KVM_REQ_IMMEDIATE_EXIT.
This bit requests that when next entering the guest, we should run it only
for as little as possible, and exit again.
We use this new option in nested VMX: When L1 launches L2, but L0 wishes L1
to continue running so it can inject an event to it, we unfortunately cannot
just pretend to have run L2 for a little while - We must really launch L2,
otherwise certain one-off vmcs12 parameters (namely, L1 injection into L2)
will be lost. So the existing code runs L2 in this case.
But L2 could potentially run for a long time until it exits, and the
injection into L1 will be delayed. The new KVM_REQ_IMMEDIATE_EXIT allows us
to request that L2 will be entered, as necessary, but will exit as soon as
possible after entry.
Our implementation of this request uses smp_send_reschedule() to send a
self-IPI, with interrupts disabled. The interrupts remain disabled until the
guest is entered, and then, after the entry is complete (often including
processing an injection and jumping to the relevant handler), the physical
interrupt is noticed and causes an exit.
On recent Intel processors, we could have achieved the same goal by using
MTF instead of a self-IPI. Another technique worth considering in the future
is to use VM_EXIT_ACK_INTR_ON_EXIT and a highest-priority vector IPI - to
slightly improve performance by avoiding the useless interrupt handler
which ends up being called when smp_send_reschedule() is used.

Unlike all of the other cpuid bits, the TSC deadline timer bit is set
unconditionally, regardless of what userspace wants.
This is broken in several ways:
- if userspace doesn't use KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP, and doesn't emulate the TSC
deadline timer feature, a guest that uses the feature will break
- live migration to older host kernels that don't support the TSC deadline
timer will cause the feature to be pulled from under the guest's feet;
breaking it
- guests that are broken wrt the feature will fail.
Fix by not enabling the feature automatically; instead report it to userspace.
Because the feature depends on KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP, which we cannot guarantee
will be called, we expose it via a KVM_CAP_TSC_DEADLINE_TIMER and not
KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID.
Fixes the Illumos guest kernel, which uses the TSC deadline timer feature.

This silently was working for many years and stopped working on
Niagara-T3 machines.
We need to set the MSIQ to VALID before we can set it's state to IDLE.
On Niagara-T3, setting the state to IDLE first was causing HV_EINVAL
errors. The hypervisor documentation says, rather ambiguously, that
the MSIQ must be "initialized" before one can set the state.
I previously understood this to mean merely that a successful setconf()
operation has been performed on the MSIQ, which we have done at this
point. But it seems to also mean that it has been set VALID too.
