So far KVM only had basic x86 debug register support, once introduced to
realize guest debugging that way. The guest itself was not able to use
those registers.
This patch now adds (almost) full support for guest self-debugging via
hardware registers. It refactors the code, moving generic parts out of
SVM (VMX was already cleaned up by the KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG patches), and
it ensures that the registers are properly switched between host and
guest.
This patch also prepares debug register usage by the host. The latter
will (once wired-up by the following patch) allow for hardware
breakpoints/watchpoints in guest code. If this is enabled, the guest
will only see faked debug registers without functionality, but with
content reflecting the guest's modifications.
Tested on Intel only, but SVM /should/ work as well, but who knows...
Known limitations: Trapping on tss switch won't work - most probably on
Intel.
Credits also go to Joerg Roedel - I used his once posted debugging
series as platform for this patch.

When single-stepping over STI and MOV SS, we must clear the
corresponding interruptibility bits in the guest state. Otherwise
vmentry fails as it then expects bit 14 (BS) in pending debug exceptions
being set, but that's not correct for the guest debugging case.
Note that clearing those bits is safe as we check for interruptibility
based on the original state and do not inject interrupts or NMIs if
guest interruptibility was blocked.

This rips out the support for KVM_DEBUG_GUEST and introduces a new IOCTL
instead: KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG. The IOCTL payload consists of a generic
part, controlling the "main switch" and the single-step feature. The
arch specific part adds an x86 interface for intercepting both types of
debug exceptions separately and re-injecting them when the host was not
interested. Moveover, the foundation for guest debugging via debug
registers is layed.
To signal breakpoint events properly back to userland, an arch-specific
data block is now returned along KVM_EXIT_DEBUG. For x86, the arch block
contains the PC, the debug exception, and relevant debug registers to
tell debug events properly apart.
The availability of this new interface is signaled by
KVM_CAP_SET_GUEST_DEBUG. Empty stubs for not yet supported archs are
provided.
Note that both SVM and VTX are supported, but only the latter was tested
yet. Based on the experience with all those VTX corner case, I would be
fairly surprised if SVM will work out of the box.

Userspace has to tell the kernel module somehow that nested SVM should be used.
The easiest way that doesn't break anything I could think of is to implement
if (cpuid & svm)
allow write to efer
else
deny write to efer
Old userspaces mask the SVM capability bit, so they don't break.
In order to find out that the SVM capability is set, I had to split the
kvm_emulate_cpuid into a finding and an emulating part.

This patch implements VMRUN. VMRUN enters a virtual CPU and runs that
in the same context as the normal guest CPU would run.
So basically it is implemented the same way, a normal CPU would do it.
We also prepare all intercepts that get OR'ed with the original
intercepts, as we do not allow a level 2 guest to be intercepted less
than the first level guest.
v2 implements the following improvements:
- fixes the CPL check
- does not allocate iopm when not used
- remembers the host's IF in the HIF bit in the hflags
v3:
- make use of the new permission checking
- add support for V_INTR_MASKING_MASK

In the past, kvm_get_kvm() and kvm_put_kvm() was called in assigned device irq
handler and interrupt_work, in order to prevent cancel_work_sync() in
kvm_free_assigned_irq got a illegal state when waiting for interrupt_work done.
But it's tricky and still got two problems:
1. A bug ignored two conditions that cancel_work_sync() would return true result
in a additional kvm_put_kvm().
2. If interrupt type is MSI, we would got a window between cancel_work_sync()
and free_irq(), which interrupt would be injected again...
This patch discard the reference count used for irq handler and interrupt_work,
and ensure the legal state by moving the free function at the very beginning of
kvm_destroy_vm(). And the patch fix the second bug by disable irq before
cancel_work_sync(), which may result in nested disable of irq but OK for we are
going to free it.

While most accesses to the i8259 are with the kvm mutex taken, the call
to kvm_pic_read_irq() is not. We can't easily take the kvm mutex there
since the function is called with interrupts disabled.
Fix by adding a spinlock to the virtual interrupt controller. Since we
can't send an IPI under the spinlock (we also take the same spinlock in
an irq disabled context), we defer the IPI until the spinlock is released.
Similarly, we defer irq ack notifications until after spinlock release to
avoid lock recursion.

There is no point in doing the ready_for_nmi_injection/
request_nmi_window dance with user space. First, we don't do this for
in-kernel irqchip anyway, while the code path is the same as for user
space irqchip mode. And second, there is nothing to loose if a pending
NMI is overwritten by another one (in contrast to IRQs where we have to
save the number). Actually, there is even the risk of raising spurious
NMIs this way because the reason for the held-back NMI might already be
handled while processing the first one.
Therefore this patch creates a simplified user space NMI injection
interface, exporting it under KVM_CAP_USER_NMI and dropping the old
KVM_CAP_NMI capability. And this time we also take care to provide the
interface only on archs supporting NMIs via KVM (right now only x86).
