PATCH 1/6 kvm: Flush coalesced MMIO buffer periodly

From: Sheng Yang <[email protected]>

The default action of coalesced MMIO is, cache the writing in buffer, until:
1. The buffer is full.
2. Or the exit to QEmu due to other reasons.

But this would result in a very late writing in some condition.
1. The each time write to MMIO content is small.
2. The writing interval is big.
3. No need for input or accessing other devices frequently.

This issue was observed in a experimental embbed system. The test image simply print "test" every 1 seconds. The output in QEmu meets expectation, but the output in KVM is delayed for seconds.

Per Avi's suggestion, I hooked flushing coalesced MMIO buffer in VGA update handler. By this way, We don't need vcpu explicit exit to QEmu to handle this issue.

PATCH 2/6 KVM: Request setting of nmi_pending and sipi_vector

In reply to Marcelo Tosatti

From: Jan Kiszka <[email protected]>

The final version of VCPU events in 2.6.33 will allow to skip nmi_pending and sipi_vector on KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS. For now let's write them unconditionally, which is unproblematic for upstream due to missing SMP support. Future version which enable SMP will write them only on reset.

PATCH 4/6 KVM: Make vmport KVM-compatible

In reply to Marcelo Tosatti

From: Jan Kiszka <[email protected]>

The vmport "device" accesses the VCPU registers, so it requires proper cpu_synchronize_state. Add it to vmport_ioport_read, which also synchronizes vmport_ioport_write.

PATCH 5/6 KVM: Move and rename regs_modified

In reply to Marcelo Tosatti

From: Jan Kiszka <[email protected]>

Touching the user space representation of KVM's VCPU state is - naturally - a per-VCPU thing. So move the dirty flag into KVM_CPU_COMMON and rename it at this chance to reflect its true meaning.
