22d95b1282 KVM: MMU: Fix rare oops on guest context switch
A guest context switch to an uncached cr3 can require allocation of
shadow pages, but we only recycle shadow pages in kvm_mmu_page_fault().

Move shadow page recycling to mmu_topup_memory_caches(), which is called
from both the page fault handler and from guest cr3 reload.

6ec8a856e4 KVM: Avoid calling smp_call_function_single() with interrupts disabled
When taking a cpu down, we need to hardware_disable() it.
Unfortunately, the CPU_DYING notifier is called with interrupts
disabled, which means we can't use smp_call_function_single().

Fortunately, the CPU_DYING notifier is always called on the dying cpu,
so we don't need to use the function at all and can simply call
hardware_disable() directly.

bac27d35cb KVM: x86 emulator: fix debug reg mov instructions
More fallout from the writeback fixes: debug register transfer
instructions do their own writeback and thus need to disable the general
writeback mechanism.

This fixes oopses and some guest failures on AMD machines (the Intel
variant decodes the instruction in hardware and thus does not need
emulation).

d37c855719 KVM: disable writeback for 0x0f 0x01 instructions.
0x0f 0x01 instructions (ie lgdt, lidt, smsw, lmsw and invlpg) does
not use writeback. This patch set no_wb=1 when emulating those
instructions.

This fixes a regression booting the FreeBSD kernel on AMD.

4c981b43d7 KVM: Fix removal of nx capability from guest cpuid
Testing the wrong bit caused kvm not to disable nx on the guest when it is
disabled on the host (an mmu optimization relies on the nx bits being the
same in the guest and host).

This allows Windows to boot when nx is disabled on te host (e.g. when
host pae is disabled).

90cb0529dd KVM: Fix memory slot management functions for guest smp
The memory slot management functions were oriented against vcpu 0, where
they should be kvm-wide.  This causes hangs starting X on guest smp.

Fix by making the functions (and resultant tail in the mmu) non-vcpu-specific.
Unfortunately this reduces the efficiency of the mmu object cache a bit.  We
may have to revisit this later.

d55e2cb201 KVM: MMU: Store nx bit for large page shadows
We need to distinguish between large page shadows which have the nx bit set
and those which don't.  The problem shows up when booting a newer smp Linux
kernel, where the trampoline page (which is in real mode, which uses the
same shadow pages as large pages) is using the same mapping as a kernel data
page, which is mapped using nx, causing kvm to spin on that page.

20c2df83d2 mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create().
Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
c59def9f22 change. They've been
BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
either.

This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
or the documentation references).

2d9ce177e6 i386: Allow KVM on i386 nonpae
Currently, CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG64 both enables boot-time checking of
the cmpxchg64b feature and enables compilation of the set_64bit() family.
Since the option is dependent on PAE, and since KVM depends on set_64bit(),
this effectively disables KVM on i386 nopae.

Simplify by removing the config option altogether: the boot check is made
dependent on CONFIG_X86_PAE directly, and the set_64bit() family is exposed
without constraints.  It is up to users to check for the feature flag (KVM
does not as virtualiation extensions imply its existence).

02c03a326a KVM: Fix x86 emulator writeback
When the old value and new one are the same the emulator skips the
write; this is undesirable when the destination is a MMIO area and the
write shall be performed regardless of the previous value. This
optimization breaks e.g. a Linux guest APIC compiled without
X86_GOOD_APIC.

Remove the check and perform the writeback stage in the emulation unless
it's explicitly disabled (currently push and some 2 bytes instructions
may disable the writeback).
