[PATCH v3 0/2] Add support for cmpxchg16b emulation

[Sairaj Kodilkar]

This series adds 128-bit compare-exchange support needed for KVM to
emulate guest cmpxchg16b instructions.

The AMD IOMMU driver updates 256-bit device table entries with two
128-bit cmpxchg operations.  For hardware-accelerated vIOMMU, QEMU traps
those DTE accesses to install nested page tables [1].  KVM must emulate
guest cmpxchg16b on the trapped MMIO regions; without that, DTE access
emulation fails.

Patch 1: extends the x86 user CMPXCHG helpers with
__try_cmpxchg128_user_asm() (cmpxchg16b on x86-64), wired into
unsafe_try_cmpxchg_user().

Patch 2: extends KVM CMPXCHG8B emulation to 16-byte operands (REX.W=1) and
uses the new helper for atomic 16-byte compare-exchange on guest RAM via
emulator_cmpxchg_emulated().

You can find the KUT to test this series at [2].
