8c35f237fb KVM: Route irq 0 to vcpu 0 exclusively
Some Linux versions allow the timer interrupt to be processed by more than
one cpu, leading to hangs due to tsc instability.  Work around the issue
by only disaptching the interrupt to vcpu 0.

Problem analyzed (and patch tested) by Sheng Yang.

72dc67a696 KVM: remove the usage of the mmap_sem for the protection of the memory slots.
This patch replaces the mmap_sem lock for the memory slots with a new
kvm private lock, it is needed beacuse untill now there were cases where
kvm accesses user memory while holding the mmap semaphore.

8b88b0998e libfs: allow error return from simple attributes
Sometimes simple attributes might need to return an error, e.g. for
acquiring a mutex interruptibly.  In fact we have that situation in
spufs already which is the original user of the simple attributes.  This
patch merged the temporarily forked attributes in spufs back into the
main ones and allows to return errors.

aaee2c94f7 KVM: MMU: Switch to mmu spinlock
Convert the synchronization of the shadow handling to a separate mmu_lock
spinlock.

Also guard fetch() by mmap_sem in read-mode to protect against alias
and memslot changes.

In preparation for a mmu spinlock, add kvm_read_guest_atomic()
and use it in fetch() and prefetch_page().

10589a4699 KVM: MMU: Concurrent guest walkers
Do not hold kvm->lock mutex across the entire pagefault code,
only acquire it in places where it is necessary, such as mmu
hash list, active list, rmap and parent pte handling.

Allow concurrent guest walkers by switching walk_addr() to use
mmap_sem in read-mode.

And get rid of the lockless __gfn_to_page.

Move ioapic code to common, since IA64 also needs it.
