In tdp_mmu_iter_cond_resched there is a call to tdp_iter_start which
causes the iterator to continue its walk over the paging structure from
the root. This is needed after a yield as paging structure could have
been freed in the interim.
The tdp_iter_start call is not very clear and something of a hack. It
requires exposing tdp_iter fields not used elsewhere in tdp_mmu.c and
the effect is not obvious from the function name. Factor a more aptly
named function out of tdp_iter_start and call it from
tdp_mmu_iter_cond_resched and tdp_iter_start.

If mmu_lock is held for write, don't bother setting !PRESENT SPTEs to
REMOVED_SPTE when recursively zapping SPTEs as part of shadow page
removal. The concurrent write protections provided by REMOVED_SPTE are
not needed, there are no backing page side effects to record, and MMIO
SPTEs can be left as is since they are protected by the memslot
generation, not by ensuring that the MMIO SPTE is unreachable (which
is racy with respect to lockless walks regardless of zapping behavior).
Skipping !PRESENT drastically reduces the number of updates needed to
tear down sparsely populated MMUs, e.g. when tearing down a 6gb VM that
didn't touch much memory, 6929/7168 (~96.6%) of SPTEs were '0' and could
be skipped.
Avoiding the write itself is likely close to a wash, but avoiding
__handle_changed_spte() is a clear-cut win as that involves saving and
restoring all non-volatile GPRs (it's a subtly big function), as well as
several conditional branches before bailing out.

Stop setting dirty bits for MMU pages when dirty logging is disabled for
a memslot, as PML is now completely disabled when there are no memslots
with dirty logging enabled.
This means that spurious PML entries will be created for memslots with
dirty logging disabled if at least one other memslot has dirty logging
enabled. However, spurious PML entries are already possible since
dirty bits are set only when a dirty logging is turned off, i.e. memslots
that are never dirty logged will have dirty bits cleared.
In the end, it's faster overall to eat a few spurious PML entries in the
window where dirty logging is being disabled across all memslots.

When zapping SPTEs in order to rebuild them as huge pages, use the new
helper that computes the max mapping level to detect whether or not a
SPTE should be zapped. Doing so avoids zapping SPTEs that can't
possibly be rebuilt as huge pages, e.g. due to hardware constraints,
memslot alignment, etc...
This also avoids zapping SPTEs that are still large, e.g. if migration
was canceled before write-protected huge pages were shattered to enable
dirty logging. Note, such pages are still write-protected at this time,
i.e. a page fault VM-Exit will still occur. This will hopefully be
addressed in a future patch.

Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
In order to enable concurrent modifications to the paging structures in
the TDP MMU, threads must be able to safely remove pages of page table
memory while other threads are traversing the same memory. To ensure
threads do not access PT memory after it is freed, protect PT memory
with RCU.
Protecting concurrent accesses to page table memory from use-after-free
bugs could also have been acomplished using
walk_shadow_page_lockless_begin/end() and READING_SHADOW_PAGE_TABLES,
coupling with the barriers in a TLB flush. The use of RCU for this case
has several distinct advantages over that approach.
1. Disabling interrupts for long running operations is not desirable.
Future commits will allow operations besides page faults to operate
without the exclusive protection of the MMU lock and those operations
are too long to disable iterrupts for their duration.
2. The use of RCU here avoids long blocking / spinning operations in
perfromance critical paths. By freeing memory with an asynchronous
RCU API we avoid the longer wait times TLB flushes experience when
overlapping with a thread in walk_shadow_page_lockless_begin/end().
3. RCU provides a separation of concerns when removing memory from the
paging structure. Because the RCU callback to free memory can be
scheduled immediately after a TLB flush, there's no need for the
thread to manually free a queue of pages later, as commit_zap_pages
does.

Many TDP MMU functions which need to perform some action on all TDP MMU
roots hold a reference on that root so that they can safely drop the MMU
lock in order to yield to other threads. However, when releasing the
reference on the root, there is a bug: the root will not be freed even
if its reference count (root_count) is reduced to 0.
To simplify acquiring and releasing references on TDP MMU root pages, and
to ensure that these roots are properly freed, move the get/put operations
into another TDP MMU root iterator macro.
Moving the get/put operations into an iterator macro also helps
simplify control flow when a root does need to be freed. Note that using
the list_for_each_entry_safe macro would not have been appropriate in
this situation because it could keep a pointer to the next root across
an MMU lock release + reacquire, during which time that root could be
freed.

This patch is heavily based on previous work from Lei Cao
<lei.cao@stratus.com> and Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>. [1]
KVM currently uses large bitmaps to track dirty memory. These bitmaps
are copied to userspace when userspace queries KVM for its dirty page
information. The use of bitmaps is mostly sufficient for live
migration, as large parts of memory are be dirtied from one log-dirty
pass to another. However, in a checkpointing system, the number of
dirty pages is small and in fact it is often bounded---the VM is
paused when it has dirtied a pre-defined number of pages. Traversing a
large, sparsely populated bitmap to find set bits is time-consuming,
as is copying the bitmap to user-space.
A similar issue will be there for live migration when the guest memory
is huge while the page dirty procedure is trivial. In that case for
each dirty sync we need to pull the whole dirty bitmap to userspace
and analyse every bit even if it's mostly zeros.
The preferred data structure for above scenarios is a dense list of
guest frame numbers (GFN). This patch series stores the dirty list in
kernel memory that can be memory mapped into userspace to allow speedy
harvesting.
This patch enables dirty ring for X86 only. However it should be
easily extended to other archs as well.

When KVM maps a largepage backed region at a lower level in order to
make it executable (i.e. NX large page shattering), it reduces the TLB

permanent, KVM must periodically reclaim shattered NX largepages by
zapping them and allowing them to be rebuilt in the page fault handler.

In order to support MMIO, KVM must be able to walk the TDP paging
structures to find mappings for a given GFN. Support this walk for
the TDP MMU.
Tested by running kvm-unit-tests and KVM selftests on an Intel Haswell
machine. This series introduced no new failures.

To support nested virtualization, KVM will sometimes need to write
protect pages which are part of a shadowed paging structure or are not
writable in the shadowed paging structure. Add a function to write
protect GFN mappings for this purpose.

Dirty logging ultimately breaks down MMU mappings to 4k granularity.
When dirty logging is no longer needed, these granaular mappings
represent a useless performance penalty. When dirty logging is disabled,
search the paging structure for mappings that could be re-constituted
into a large page mapping. Zap those mappings so that they can be
faulted in again at a higher mapping level.

In order to interoperate correctly with the rest of KVM and other Linux
subsystems, the TDP MMU must correctly handle various MMU notifiers. Add
a hook and handle the change_pte MMU notifier.

In order to interoperate correctly with the rest of KVM and other Linux
subsystems, the TDP MMU must correctly handle various MMU notifiers. The
main Linux MM uses the access tracking MMU notifiers for swap and other
features. Add hooks to handle the test/flush HVA (range) family of
MMU notifiers.

Add functions to handle page faults in the TDP MMU. These page faults
are currently handled in much the same way as the x86 shadow paging
based MMU, however the ordering of some operations is slightly
different. Future patches will add eager NX splitting, a fast page fault
handler, and parallel page faults.

Add functions to zap SPTEs to the TDP MMU. These are needed to tear down
TDP MMU roots properly and implement other MMU functions which require
tearing down mappings. Future patches will add functions to populate the
page tables, but as for this patch there will not be any work for these
functions to do.

The existing bookkeeping done by KVM when a PTE is changed is spread
around several functions. This makes it difficult to remember all the
stats, bitmaps, and other subsystems that need to be updated whenever a
PTE is modified. When a non-leaf PTE is marked non-present or becomes a
leaf PTE, page table memory must also be freed. To simplify the MMU and
facilitate the use of atomic operations on SPTEs in future patches, create
functions to handle some of the bookkeeping required as a result of
a change.
