The write protect verification in set_spte is unnecessary for page sync.
Its guaranteed that, if the unsync spte was writable, the target page
does not have a write protected shadow (if it had, the spte would have
been write protected under mmu_lock by rmap_write_protect before).
Same reasoning applies to mark_page_dirty: the gfn has been marked as
dirty via the pagefault path.
The cost of hash table and memslot lookups are quite significant if the
workload is pagetable write intensive resulting in increased mmu_lock
contention.

The code to traverse the cpuid data array list for counting type of leaves is

This patches fixes the 2 things in it.
1. Set the 1st counting entry's flag KVM_CPUID_FLAG_STATE_READ_NEXT. Without
it the code will never find a valid entry.
2. Also the stop condition in the for loop while looking for the next unflaged
entry is broken. It needs to stop when it find one matching entry;
and in the case of count of 1, it will be the same entry found in this
iteration.

Ideally, every assigned device should in a clear condition before and after
assignment, so that the former state of device won't affect later work.
Some devices provide a mechanism named Function Level Reset, which is
defined in PCI/PCI-e document. We should execute it before and after device
assignment.
(But sadly, the feature is new, and most device on the market now don't
support it. We are considering using D0/D3hot transmit to emulate it later,
but not that elegant and reliable as FLR itself.)
[Update: Reminded by Xiantao, execute FLR after we ensure that the device can
be assigned to the guest.]

If we call the emulator we shouldn't call skip_emulated_instruction()
in the first place, since the emulator already computes the next rip
for us. Thus we move ->skip_emulated_instruction() out of
kvm_emulate_pio() and into handle_io() (and the svm equivalent). We
also replaced "return 0" by "break" in the "do_io:" case because now
the shadow register state needs to be committed. Otherwise eip will never
be updated.

Older VMX supporting CPUs do not provide the "Virtual NMI" feature for
tracking the NMI-blocked state after injecting such events. For now
KVM is unable to inject NMIs on those CPUs.
Derived from Sheng Yang's suggestion to use the IRQ window notification
for detecting the end of NMI handlers, this patch implements virtual
NMI support without impact on the host's ability to receive real NMIs.
The downside is that the given approach requires some heuristics that
can cause NMI nesting in vary rare corner cases.
The approach works as follows:
- inject NMI and set a software-based NMI-blocked flag
- arm the IRQ window start notification whenever an NMI window is
requested
- if the guest exits due to an opening IRQ window, clear the emulated
NMI-blocked flag
- if the guest net execution time with NMI-blocked but without an IRQ
window exceeds 1 second, force NMI-blocked reset and inject anyway
This approach covers most practical scenarios:
- succeeding NMIs are seperated by at least one open IRQ window
- the guest may spin with IRQs disabled (e.g. due to a bug), but
leaving the NMI handler takes much less time than one second
- the guest does not rely on strict ordering or timing of NMIs
(would be problematic in virtualized environments anyway)
Successfully tested with the 'nmi n' monitor command, the kgdbts
testsuite on smp guests (additional patches required to add debug
register support to kvm) + the kernel's nmi_watchdog=1, and a Siemens-
specific board emulation (+ guest) that comes with its own NMI
watchdog mechanism.
