Rusty Russell 5dac051bc6 lguest: remove obsolete LHREQ_BREAK call
We no longer need an efficient mechanism to force the Guest back into
host userspace, as each device is serviced without bothering the main
Guest process (aka. the Launcher).

Rusty Russell df60aeef4f lguest: use eventfds for device notification
Currently, when a Guest wants to perform I/O it calls LHCALL_NOTIFY with
an address: the main Launcher process returns with this address, and figures
out what device to run.

A far nicer model is to let processes bind an eventfd to an address: if we
find one, we simply signal the eventfd.

Rusty Russell 9f155a9b3d lguest: allow any process to send interrupts
We currently only allow the Launcher process to send interrupts, but it
as we already send interrupts from the hrtimer, it's a simple matter of
extracting that code into a common set_interrupt routine.

As we switch to a thread per virtqueue, this avoids a bottleneck through the
main Launcher process.

Rusty Russell a32a8813d0 lguest: improve interrupt handling, speed up stream networking
lguest never checked for pending interrupts when enabling interrupts, and
things still worked.  However, it makes a significant difference to TCP
performance, so it's time we fixed it by introducing a pending_irq flag
and checking it on irq_restore and irq_enable.

These two routines are now too big to patch into the 8/10 bytes
patch space, so we drop that code.

Note: The high latency on interrupt delivery had a very curious
effect: once everything else was optimized, networking without GSO was
faster than networking with GSO, since more interrupts were sent and
hence a greater chance of one getting through to the Guest!

Note2: (Almost) Closing the same loophole for iret doesn't have any
measurable effect, so I'm leaving that patch for the moment.

Before:
	1GB tcpblast Guest->Host:		30.7 seconds
	1GB tcpblast Guest->Host (no GSO):	76.0 seconds

After:
	1GB tcpblast Guest->Host:		6.8 seconds
	1GB tcpblast Guest->Host (no GSO):	27.8 seconds

Rusty Russell abd41f037e lguest: fix race in halt code
When the Guest does the LHCALL_HALT hypercall, we go to sleep, expecting
that a timer or the Waker will wake_up_process() us.

But we do it in a stupid way, leaving a classic missing wakeup race.

So split maybe_do_interrupt() into interrupt_pending() and
try_deliver_interrupt(), and check maybe_do_interrupt() and the
"break_out" flag before calling schedule.

Fixes guest crash 'lguest: bad read address 0x4800000 len 256'

The new per-cpu allocator ends up handing a non-linear address to
write_gdt_entry.  We do __pa() on it, and hand it to the host, which
kills us.

Rusty Russell 2d37f94a28 generalize lgread_u32/lgwrite_u32.
Jes complains that page table code still uses lgread_u32 even though
it now uses general kernel pte types.  The best thing to do is to
generalize lgread_u32 and lgwrite_u32.

This means we lose the efficiency of getuser().  We could potentially
regain it if we used __copy_from_user instead of copy_from_user, but
I'm not certain that our range check is equivalent to access_ok() on

Rusty Russell 47436aa4ad Boot with virtual == physical to get closer to native Linux.
1) This allows us to get alot closer to booting bzImages.

2) It means we don't have to know page_offset.

3) The Guest needs to modify the boot pagetables to create the
   PAGE_OFFSET mapping before jumping to C code.

4) guest_pa() walks the page tables rather than using page_offset.

5) We don't use page_offset to figure out whether to emulate: it was
   always kinda quesationable, and won't work for instructions done
   before remapping (bzImage unpacking in particular).

6) We still want the kernel address for tlb flushing: have the initial

Rusty Russell cc6d4fbcef Introduce "hcall" pointer to indicate pending hypercall.
Currently we look at the "trapnum" to see if the Guest wants a
hypercall.  But once the hypercall is done we have to reset trapnum to
a bogus value, otherwise if we exit to userspace and return, we'd run
the same hypercall twice (that was a nasty bug to find!).

This has two main effects:

1) When Jes's patch changes the hypercall args to be a generic "struct
   hcall_args" we simply change the type of "lg->hcall".  It's set by
   arch code, so if it has to copy args or something it can do so, and
   point "hcall" into lg->arch somewhere.

2) Async hypercalls only get run when an actual hypercall is pending.
   This simplfies the code a little and is a more logical semantic.

A non-periodic clock_event_device and the "jiffies" clock don't mix well:
tick_handle_periodic() can go into an infinite loop.

Currently lguest guests use the jiffies clock when the TSC is
unusable.  Instead, make the Host write the current time into the lguest
page on every interrupt.  This doesn't cost much but is more precise
and at least as accurate as the jiffies clock.  It also gets rid of
the GET_WALLCLOCK hypercall.

Also, delay setting sched_clock until our clock is set up, otherwise
the early printk timestamps can go backwards (not harmful, just ugly).
