I just fixed a nasty bug in which the changes to nonvolatile registers
used in "update" form load/store MMIO instructions wouldn't be visible
in the guest. This caused all sorts of nastiness, especially visible
when the guest kernel timer tick code did a BUG_ON(!irqs_disabled),
since the guest MSR had somehow been corrupted.
Also committed various cleanups along the way, and updated to latest KVM
tip. Note: I had to hack a
#define KVM_PAGES_PER_HPAGE (1<<31)
in order to build.
Our current bug occurs when guest userspace continuously writes to the
UART, which ends up "pausing" all output. Apparently UART IRQs are
getting lost somewhere...
