The crash part of this problem may be solved with the following patch
(thanks to Hugh for the hint). There is still another problem, though -
with this patch applied, the qemu session aborts with "VCPU Shutdown
request", whatever that means.

x86/kasan: Clear kasan_zero_page after TLB flush

commit 69e0210fd01ff157d332102219aaf5c26ca8069b upstream.

Currently we clear kasan_zero_page before __flush_tlb_all(). This
works with current implementation of native_flush_tlb[_global]()
because it doesn't cause do any writes to kasan shadow memory.
But any subtle change made in native_flush_tlb*() could break this.
Also current code seems doesn't work for paravirt guests (lguest).

Only after the TLB flush we can be sure that kasan_zero_page is not
used as early shadow anymore (instrumented code will not write to it).
So it should cleared it only after the TLB flush.

x86, vdso, pvclock: Simplify and speed up the vdso pvclock reader

commit 6b078f5de7fc0851af4102493c7b5bb07e49c4cb upstream.

The pvclock vdso code was too abstracted to understand easily
and excessively paranoid.  Simplify it for a huge speedup.

This opens the door for additional simplifications, as the vdso
no longer accesses the pvti for any vcpu other than vcpu 0.

Before, vclock_gettime using kvm-clock took about 45ns on my
machine. With this change, it takes 29ns, which is almost as
fast as the pure TSC implementation.

Kaiser cannot be used on paravirtualized MMUs (namely reading and writing CR3).
This does not work with KAISER as the CR3 switch from and to user space PGD
would require to map the whole XEN_PV machinery into both.

More importantly, enabling KAISER on Xen PV doesn't make too much sense, as PV
guests use distinct %cr3 values for kernel and user already.
