First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.
This patch
a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
getting them indirectly
Net result is:
a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
they don't need sched.h
b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been
frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need
special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware
subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events
related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress. This
patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during
suspend and resume transitions. It also changes all of the
CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration
(for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal"
ones).

When emulating an mmio read, we actually emulate twice: once to determine
the physical address of the mmio, and, after we've exited to userspace to
get the mmio value, we emulate again to place the value in the result
register and update any flags.
But we don't really need to enter the guest again for that, only to take
an immediate vmexit. So, if we detect that we're doing an mmio read,
emulate a single instruction before entering the guest again.

We only have to save/restore MSR_GS_BASE on every VMEXIT. The rest can be
saved/restored when we leave the VCPU. Since we don't emulate the DEBUGCTL

saving/restoring them at all.

Some msrs are only used by x86_64 instructions, and are therefore
not needed when the guest is legacy mode. By not bothering to switch
them, we reduce vmexit latency by 2400 cycles (from about 8800) when

THe automatically switched msrs are never changed on the host (with
the exception of MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE) and thus there is no need to save
them on every vm entry.

on x86_64.

Usually, guest page faults are detected by the kvm page fault handler,
which detects if they are shadow faults, mmio faults, pagetable faults,
or normal guest page faults.
However, in ceratin circumstances, we can detect a page fault much later.
One of these events is the following combination:
- A two memory operand instruction (e.g. movsb) is executed.
- The first operand is in mmio space (which is the fault reported to kvm)
- The second operand is in an ummaped address (e.g. a guest page fault)
The Windows 2000 installer does such an access, an promptly hangs. Fix
by adding the missing page fault injection on that path.

Mapping a guest page to a host page is a common operation. Currently,
one has first to find the memory slot where the page belongs (gfn_to_memslot),
then locate the page itself (gfn_to_page()).
This is clumsy, and also won't work well with memory aliases. So simplify
gfn_to_page() not to require memory slot translation first, and instead do it
internally.

On x86, bit operations operate on a string of bits that can reside in
multiple words. For example, 'btsl %eax, (blah)' will touch the word
at blah+4 if %eax is between 32 and 63.
The x86 emulator compensates for that by advancing the operand address
by (bit offset / BITS_PER_LONG) and truncating the bit offset to the
range (0..BITS_PER_LONG-1). This has a side effect of forcing the operand
size to 8 bytes on 64-bit hosts.
Now, a 32-bit guest goes and fork()s a process. It write protects a stack
page at 0xbffff000 using the 'btr' instruction, at offset 0xffc in the page
table, with bit offset 1 (for the write permission bit).
The emulator now forces the operand size to 8 bytes as previously described,
and an innocent page table update turns into a cross-page-boundary write,
which is assumed by the mmu code not to be a page table, so it doesn't
actually clear the corresponding shadow page table entry. The guest and
host permissions are out of sync and guest memory is corrupted soon
afterwards, leading to guest failure.
Fix by not using BITS_PER_LONG as the word size; instead use the actual
operand size, so we get a 32-bit write in that case.
Note we still have to teach the mmu to handle cross-page-boundary writes
to guest page table; but for now this allows Damn Small Linux 0.4 (2.4.20)
to boot.

When a vcpu is migrated from one cpu to another, its timestamp counter
may lose its monotonic property if the host has unsynced timestamp counters.
This can confuse the guest, sometimes to the point of refusing to boot.
As the rdtsc instruction is rather fast on AMD processors (7-10 cycles),
we can simply record the last host tsc when we drop the cpu, and adjust
the vcpu tsc offset when we detect that we've migrated to a different cpu.

The kvm mmu keeps a shadow page for hugepage pdes; if several such pdes map
the same physical address, they share the same shadow page. This is a fairly
common case (kernel mappings on i386 nonpae Linux, for example).
However, if the two pdes map the same memory but with different permissions, kvm
will happily use the cached shadow page. If the access through the more
permissive pde will occur after the access to the strict pde, an endless pagefault
loop will be generated and the guest will make no progress.
Fix by making the access permissions part of the cache lookup key.
The fix allows Xen pae to boot on kvm and run guest domains.

The current string pio interface communicates using guest virtual addresses,
relying on userspace to translate addresses and to check permissions. This
interface cannot fully support guest smp, as the check needs to take into
account two pages at one in case an unaligned string transfer straddles a
page boundary.
Change the interface not to communicate guest addresses at all; instead use
a buffer page (mmaped by userspace) and do transfers there. The kernel
manages the virtual to physical translation and can perform the checks
atomically by taking the appropriate locks.
