Subject: [PATCH v2 4/5] KVM: add KVM_USER_EXIT vcpu ioctl for userspace exit
The guest can use KVM_USER_EXIT instead of a signal-based exiting to
userspace. Availability depends on KVM_CAP_USER_EXIT.
Only x86 is implemented so far.
Signed-off-by: Radim Krčmář <rkrcmar@...hat.com>

v2:
* use vcpu ioctl instead of vm one [4/5]
* shrink kvm_user_exit from 64 to 32 bytes [4/5]

+4.97 KVM_USER_EXIT
+
+Capability: KVM_CAP_USER_EXIT
+Architectures: x86
+Type: vcpu ioctl
+Parameters: struct kvm_user_exit (in)
+Returns: 0 on success,
+ -EFAULT if the parameter couldn't be read,
+ -EINVAL if 'reserved' is not zeroed,

+ __u8 reserved[32];
+};
+
+The ioctl is asynchronous to VCPU execution and can be issued from all threads.
+
+Make vcpu_id exit to userspace as soon as possible. If the VCPU is not running
+in kernel at the time, it will exit early on the next call to KVM_RUN.
+If the VCPU was going to exit because of other reasons when KVM_USER_EXIT was
+issued, it will keep the original exit reason and not exit early on next
+KVM_RUN.
+If VCPU exited because of KVM_USER_EXIT, the exit reason is KVM_EXIT_REQUEST.
+
+This ioctl has very similar effect (same sans some races on userspace exit) as
+sending a signal (that is blocked in userspace and set in KVM_SET_SIGNAL_MASK)
+to the VCPU thread.
