07708c4af1 KVM: x86: Disallow hypercalls for guest callers in rings > 0
So far unprivileged guest callers running in ring 3 can issue, e.g., MMU
hypercalls. Normally, such callers cannot provide any hand-crafted MMU
command structure as it has to be passed by its physical address, but
they can still crash the guest kernel by passing random addresses.

To close the hole, this patch considers hypercalls valid only if issued
from guest ring 0. This may still be relaxed on a per-hypercall base in
the future once required.

2f333bcb4e KVM: MMU: hypercall based pte updates and TLB flushes
Hypercall based pte updates are faster than faults, and also allow use
of the lazy MMU mode to batch operations.

Don't report the feature if two dimensional paging is enabled.

[avi:
 - one mmu_op hypercall instead of one per op
 - allow 64-bit gpa on hypercall
 - don't pass host errors (-ENOMEM) to guest]

a03d7f4b54 KVM: Put kvm_para.h include outside __KERNEL__
kvm_para.h potentially contains definitions that are to be used by userspace,
so it should not be included inside the __KERNEL__ block. To protect its own
data structures, kvm_para.h already includes its own __KERNEL__ block.

b93463aa59 KVM: Accelerated apic support
This adds a mechanism for exposing the virtual apic tpr to the guest, and a
protocol for letting the guest update the tpr without causing a vmexit if
conditions allow (e.g. there is no interrupt pending with a higher priority
than the new tpr).

5f43238d03 KVM: Per-architecture hypercall definitions
Currently kvm provides hypercalls only for x86* architectures. To
provide hypercall infrastructure for other kvm architectures I split
kvm_para.h into a generic header file and architecture specific
definitions.

7aa81cc047 KVM: Refactor hypercall infrastructure (v3)
This patch refactors the current hypercall infrastructure to better
support live migration and SMP.  It eliminates the hypercall page by
trapping the UD exception that would occur if you used the wrong hypercall
instruction for the underlying architecture and replacing it with the right
one lazily.

A fall-out of this patch is that the unhandled hypercalls no longer trap to
userspace.  There is very little reason though to use a hypercall to
communicate with userspace as PIO or MMIO can be used.  There is no code
in tree that uses userspace hypercalls.
