Discard policy doesn't rely on information from notifiers, so we don't
need to register notifiers unconditionally. We kept correct counts in
case userspace switched between policies during runtime, but that can be
avoided by reseting the state.

- kvm_create_pit had to lock only because it exposed kvm->arch.vpit very
early, but initialization doesn't use kvm->arch.vpit since the last
patch, so we can drop locking.
- kvm_free_pit is only run after there are no users of KVM and therefore
is the sole actor.
- Locking in kvm_vm_ioctl_reinject doesn't do anything, because reinject
is only protected at that place.
- kvm_pit_reset isn't used anywhere and its locking can be dropped if we
hide it.
Removing useless locking allows to see what actually is being protected
by PIT state lock (values accessible from the guest).

This patch passes struct kvm_pit into internal PIT functions.
Those functions used to get PIT through kvm->arch.vpit, even though most
of them never used *kvm for other purposes. Another benefit is that we
don't need to set kvm->arch.vpit during initialization.

The lock was an overkill, the same can be done with atomics.
A mb() was added in kvm_pit_ack_irq, to pair with implicit barrier
between pit_timer_fn and pit_do_work. The mb() prevents a race that
could happen if pending == 0 and irq_ack == 0:
kvm_pit_ack_irq: | pit_timer_fn:
p = atomic_read(&ps->pending); |
| atomic_inc(&ps->pending);
| queue_work(pit_do_work);
| pit_do_work:
| atomic_xchg(&ps->irq_ack, 0);
| return;
atomic_set(&ps->irq_ack, 1); |
if (p == 0) return; |
where the interrupt would not be delivered in this tick of pit_timer_fn.
PIT would have eventually delivered the interrupt, but we sacrifice
perofmance to make sure that interrupts are not needlessly delayed.
sfence isn't enough: atomic_dec_if_positive does atomic_read first and
x86 can reorder loads before stores. lfence isn't enough: store can
pass lfence, turning it into a nop. A compiler barrier would be more
than enough as CPU needs to stall for unbelievably long to use fences.
This patch doesn't do anything in kvm_pit_reset_reinject, because any
order of resets can race, but the result differs by at most one
interrupt, which is ok, because it's the same result as if the reset
happened at a slightly different time. (Original code didn't protect
the reset path with a proper lock, so users have to be robust.)

iodev.h contains definitions for the kvm_io_bus framework. This is
needed both by the generic KVM code in virt/kvm as well as by
architecture specific code under arch/. Putting the header file in
virt/kvm and using local includes in the architecture part seems at
least dodgy to me, so let's move the file into include/kvm, so that a
more natural "#include <kvm/iodev.h>" can be used by all of the code.
This also solves a problem later when using struct kvm_io_device
in arm_vgic.h.
Fixing up the FSF address in the GPL header and a wrong include path

We can't run PIT IRQ injection work in the interrupt context of the host
timer. This would allow the user to influence the handler complexity by
asking for a broadcast to a large number of VCPUs. Therefore, this work
was pushed into workqueue context in 9d244caf2e. However, this prevents
prioritizing the PIT injection over other task as workqueues share
kernel threads.
This replaces the workqueue with a kthread worker and gives that thread
a name in the format "kvm-pit/<owner-process-pid>". That allows to
identify and adjust the kthread priority according to the VM process
parameters.

When kvm is in hpet_legacy_mode, the hpet is providing the timer
interrupt and the pit should not be. So in legacy mode, the pit timer
is destroyed, but the *state* of the pit is maintained. So if kvm or
the guest tries to modify the state of the pit, this modification is
accepted, *except* that the timer isn't actually started. When we exit
hpet_legacy_mode, the current state of the pit (which is up to date
since we've been accepting modifications) is used to restart the pit
timer.
The saved_mode code in kvm_pit_load_count temporarily changes mode to
0xff in order to destroy the timer, but then restores the actual
value, again maintaining "current" state of the pit for possible later
reenablement.

The in-kernel speaker emulation is only a dummy and also unneeded from
the performance point of view. Rather, it takes user space support to
generate sound output on the host, e.g. console beeps.
To allow this, introduce KVM_CREATE_PIT2 which controls in-kernel
speaker port emulation via a flag passed along the new IOCTL. It also
leaves room for future extensions of the PIT configuration interface.

Every call of kvm_set_irq() should offer an irq_source_id, which is
allocated by kvm_request_irq_source_id(). Based on irq_source_id, we
identify the irq source and implement logical OR for shared level
interrupts.
The allocated irq_source_id can be freed by kvm_free_irq_source_id().
Currently, we support at most sizeof(unsigned long) different irq sources.

The PIT injection logic is problematic under the following cases:
1) If there is a higher priority vector to be delivered by the time
kvm_pit_timer_intr_post is invoked ps->inject_pending won't be set.
This opens the possibility for missing many PIT event injections (say if
guest executes hlt at this point).
2) ps->inject_pending is racy with more than two vcpus. Since there's no locking
around read/dec of pt->pending, two vcpu's can inject two interrupts for a single
pt->pending count.
Fix 1 by using an irq ack notifier: only reinject when the previous irq
has been acked. Fix 2 with appropriate locking around manipulation of
pending count and irq_ack by the injection / ack paths.
