[PATCH 3/4 V15] Add ioctl for KVM_KVMCLOCK_CTRL
From: Eric B Munson
Date: Sun Feb 19 2012 - 21:24:09 EST
Now that we have a flag that will tell the guest it was suspended, create an
interface for that communication using a KVM ioctl.

Changes from V14:
Add description of flags bit used for host->guest communication
Changes from V13:
Expand the ioctl documentation
Changes from V12:
Rename KVM_CAP and KVM ioctl
Changes from V11:
Correct typo in api.txt
Add kvm_make_request(KVM_REQ_CLOCK_UPDATE, vcpu) call to kvm_set_guest_paused()
Changes from V10:
Return the ioctl to per vcpu instead of per vm
Changes from V9:
Use kvm_for_each_vcpu to iterate online vcpu's
Changes from V8:
Make KVM_GUEST_PAUSED a per vm ioctl instead of per vcpu
Changes from V7:
Define KVM_CAP_GUEST_PAUSED and support check
Call mark_page_dirty () after setting PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED
Changes from V4:
Rename KVM_GUEST_PAUSED to KVMCLOCK_GUEST_PAUSED
Add new ioctl description to api.txt

+Type: vcpu ioctl
+Parameters: None
+Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error
+
+This signals to the host kernel that the specified guest is being paused by
+userspace. The host will set a flag in the pvclock structure that is checked
+from the soft lockup watchdog. The flag is part of the pvclock structure that
+is shared between guest and host, specifically the second bit of the flags
+field of the pvclock_vcpu_time_info structure. It will be set exclusively by
+the host and read/cleared exclusively by the guest. The guest operation of
+checking and clearing the flag must an atomic operation so
+load-link/store-conditional, or equivalent must be used. There are two cases
+where the guest will clear the flag: when the soft lockup watchdog timer resets
+itself or when a soft lockup is detected. This ioctl can be called any time
+after pausing the vcpu, but before it is resumed.
