Rusty Russell a6bd8e1303 lguest: comment documentation update.
Took some cycles to re-read the Lguest Journey end-to-end, fix some
rot and tighten some phrases.

Only comments change.  No new jokes, but a couple of recycled old jokes.

Eugene Teo f73d1e6ca6 lguest: make sure cpu is initialized before accessing it
If req is LHREQ_INITIALIZE, and the guest has been initialized before
(unlikely), it will attempt to access cpu->tsk even though cpu is not yet
initialized.

Glauber de Oliveira Costa ca94f2bdd1 lguest: Use explicit includes rateher than indirect
explicitly use ktime.h include
explicitly use hrtimer.h include
explicitly use sched.h include

This patch adds headers explicitly to lguest sources file,
to avoid depending on them being included somewhere else.

Glauber de Oliveira Costa f34f8c5fea lguest: move last_pages to lg_cpu
in our new model, pages are assigned to a virtual cpu, not to a guest.
We move it to the lg_cpu structure.

Glauber de Oliveira Costa 66686c2ab0 lguest: per-vcpu lguest task management
lguest uses tasks to control its running behaviour (like sending
breaks, controlling halted state, etc). In a per-vcpu environment,
each vcpu will have its own underlying task. So this patch
makes the infrastructure for that possible

Glauber de Oliveira Costa a53a35a8b4 lguest: make registers per-vcpu
This is the most obvious per-vcpu field: registers.

So this patch moves it from struct lguest to struct vcpu,
and patch the places in which they are used, accordingly

Glauber de Oliveira Costa d0953d42c3 lguest: per-cpu run guest
This patch makes the run_guest() routine use the lg_cpu struct.
This is required since in a smp guest environment, there's no
more the notion of "running the guest", but rather, it is "running the vcpu"

Glauber de Oliveira Costa 4dcc53da49 lguest: initialize vcpu
this patch initializes the first vcpu in the initialize() routing,
which is responsible for starting the process of putting the guest up.
right now, as much of the fields are still not per-vcpu, it does not
do much.

Rusty Russell 15045275c3 Remove old lguest I/O infrrasructure.
This patch gets rid of the old lguest host I/O infrastructure and
replaces it with a single hypercall "LHCALL_NOTIFY" which takes an
address.

The main change is the removal of io.c: that mainly did inter-guest
I/O, which virtio doesn't yet support.

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
   hypercall give us that, too.

Jes Sorensen 511801dc31 Change example launcher to use unsigned long not u32
Apply Clue 2x4 to lguest userland<->kernel handling code and the
lguest launcher. Pointers are not to be passed in u32's!

Basic rule of thumb: Anything passing u32's back and forth should be
passing unsigned longs to be portable to 64 bit archs.

For those who forgotten already, I repeat: NO POINTERS IN u32!

Rusty Russell 48245cc070 Remove fixed limit on number of guests, and lguests array.
Back when we had all the Guest state in the switcher, we had a fixed
array of them.  This is no longer necessary.

If we switch the network code to using random_ether_addr (46 bits is
enough to avoid clashes), we can get rid of the concept of "guest id"
altogether.

Rusty Russell 3c6b5bfa3c Introduce guest mem offset, static link example launcher
In order to avoid problematic special linking of the Launcher, we give
the Host an offset: this means we can use any memory region in the
Launcher as Guest memory rather than insisting on mmap() at 0.

The result is quite pleasing: a number of casts are replaced with
simple additions.
