Xiao Guangrong a4ee1ca4a3 KVM: MMU: delay flush all tlbs on sync_page path
Quote from Avi:
| I don't think we need to flush immediately; set a "tlb dirty" bit somewhere
| that is cleareded when we flush the tlb.  kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_page()
| can consult the bit and force a flush if set.

Avi Kivity 586f960796 KVM: Add instruction-set-specific exit qualifications to kvm_exit trace
The exit reason alone is insufficient to understand exactly why an exit
occured; add ISA-specific trace parameters for additional information.

Because fetching these parameters is expensive on vmx, and because these
parameters are fetched even if tracing is disabled, we fetch the
parameters via a callback instead of as traditional trace arguments.

Michael S. Tsirkin bd2b53b20f KVM: fast-path msi injection with irqfd
Store irq routing table pointer in the irqfd object,
and use that to inject MSI directly without bouncing out to
a kernel thread.

While we touch this structure, rearrange irqfd fields to make fastpath
better packed for better cache utilization.

This also adds some comments about locking rules and rcu usage in code.

Some notes on the design:
- Use pointer into the rt instead of copying an entry,
  to make it possible to use rcu, thus side-stepping
  locking complexities.  We also save some memory this way.
- Old workqueue code is still used for level irqs.
  I don't think we DTRT with level anyway, however,
  it seems easier to keep the code around as
  it has been thought through and debugged, and fix level later than
  rip out and re-instate it later.

This improves the IRQ forwarding for assigned devices: By using the
kernel's threaded IRQ scheme, we can get rid of the latency-prone work
queue and simplify the code in the same run.

Moreover, we no longer have to hold assigned_dev_lock while raising the
guest IRQ, which can be a lenghty operation as we may have to iterate
over all VCPUs. The lock is now only used for synchronizing masking vs.
unmasking of INTx-type IRQs, thus is renames to intx_lock.

Takuya Yoshikawa 515a01279a KVM: pre-allocate one more dirty bitmap to avoid vmalloc()
Currently x86's kvm_vm_ioctl_get_dirty_log() needs to allocate a bitmap by
vmalloc() which will be used in the next logging and this has been causing
bad effect to VGA and live-migration: vmalloc() consumes extra systime,
triggers tlb flush, etc.

This patch resolves this issue by pre-allocating one more bitmap and switching
between two bitmaps during dirty logging.

Performance improvement:
  I measured performance for the case of VGA update by trace-cmd.
  The result was 1.5 times faster than the original one.

  In the case of live migration, the improvement ratio depends on the workload
  and the guest memory size. In general, the larger the memory size is the more
  benefits we get.

Note:
  This does not change other architectures's logic but the allocation size
  becomes twice. This will increase the actual memory consumption only when
