Adding hv_state (hyperv state) to Vm and Vcpu struct for mshv.
This state is needed to keep some kernel data(for now hypercall page)
in the vmm.

Implement hypervisor, Vm, Vcpu crate at a minimal

separates out the functionalities between kvm and
mshv inside the vmm crate.

There are some code base and function which are purely KVM specific for
now and we don't have those supports in mshv at the moment but we have plan
for the future. We are doing a feature guard with KVM. For example, KVM has
mp_state, cpu clock support, which we don't have for mshv. In order to build
those code we are making the code base for KVM specific compilation.

The customized hashmap macro can't be lifted to common MockVMM code.
MockVMM only needs a collection to iterate over to get initial register
states. A vector is just as good as a hashmap.
Switch to use a vector to store initial register states. This allows us
to drop the hashmap macro everywhere.

The mapping between code and its handler is static. We can drop the
HashMap in favour of a static match expression.
This has two benefits:
1. No more memory allocation and deallocation for the HashMap.
2. Shorter look-up time.

When a total ordering between multiple atomic variables is not required
then use Ordering::Acquire with atomic loads and Ordering::Release with
atomic stores.
This will improve performance as this does not require a memory fence
on x86_64 which Ordering::SeqCst will use.
Add a comment to the code in the vCPU handling code where it operates on
multiple atomics to explain why Ordering::SeqCst is required.

When the x86 instruction decoder tells us about some missing bytes from
the instruction stream, we call into the platform fetch method and
emulate one last instruction.
Signed-off-by: Samuel Ortiz <sameo@linux.intel.com>
In preparation for the instruction fetching step, we modify the decoding
loop so that we can check what the last decoding error is.
We also switch to explictly using decode_out() which removes a 32 bytes
copy compared to decode().

In order to validate emulated memory accesses, we need to be able to get
all the segments descriptor attributes.
This is done by abstracting the SegmentRegister attributes through a
trait that each hypervisor will have to implement.

The observation here is PlatformEmulator can be seen as the context for
emulation to take place. It should be rather easy to construct a context
that satisfies the lifetime constraints for instruction emulation.
The thread doing the emulation will have full ownership over the
context, so this removes the need to wrap PlatformEmulator in Arc and
Mutex, as well as the need for the context to be either Clone or Copy.

The emulator gets a CPU state from a CpuStateManager instance, emulates
the passed instructions stream and returns the modified CPU state.
The emulator is a skeleton for now since it comes with an empty
instruction mnemonic map.

For efficiently emulating x86 instructions, we need to build and pass a
CPU state copy/reference to instruction emulation handlers. Those handlers
will typically modify the CPU state and let the caller commit those
changes back through the PlatformEmulator trait set_cpu_state method.
Hypervisors typically have internal CPU state structures, that maps back
to the correspinding kernel APIs. By implementing the CpuState trait,
instruction emulators will be able to directly work on CPU state
instances that are directly consumable by the underlying hypervisor and
its kernel APIs.

In order to emulate instructions, we need a way to get access to some of
the guest resources. The PlatformEmulator interface provides guest
memory and CPU state access to emulator implementations.
Typically, an hypervisor will implement PlatformEmulator for architecture
specific instruction emulators to build their framework on top of.

This interface is used by the vCPU thread to delegate responsibility for
handling MMIO/PIO operations and to support different approaches than a
VM exit.
During profiling I found that we were spending 13.75% of the boot CPU
uage acquiring access to the object holding the VmmOps via
ArcSwap::load_full()
13.75% 6.02% vcpu0 cloud-hypervisor [.] arc_swap::ArcSwapAny<T,S>::load_full
|
---arc_swap::ArcSwapAny<T,S>::load_full
|
--13.43%--<hypervisor::kvm::KvmVcpu as hypervisor::cpu::Vcpu>::run
std::sys_common::backtrace::__rust_begin_short_backtrace
core::ops::function::FnOnce::call_once{{vtable-shim}}
std::sys::unix:🧵:Thread:🆕:thread_start
However since the object implementing VmmOps does not need to be mutable
and it is only used from the vCPU side we can change the ownership to
being a simple Arc<> that is passed in when calling create_vcpu().
This completely removes the above CPU usage from subsequent profiles.
