If the userspace starts dirty logging for a large slot, say 64GB of
memory, kvm_mmu_slot_remove_write_access() needs to hold mmu_lock for
a long time such as tens of milliseconds. This patch controls the lock
hold time by asking the scheduler if we need to reschedule for others.
One penalty for this is that we need to flush TLBs before releasing
mmu_lock. But since holding mmu_lock for a long time does affect not
only the guest, vCPU threads in other words, but also the host as a
whole, we should pay for that.
In practice, the cost will not be so high because we can protect a fair
amount of memory before being rescheduled: on my test environment,
cond_resched_lock() was called only once for protecting 12GB of memory
even without THP. We can also revisit Avi's "unlocked TLB flush" work
later for completely suppressing extra TLB flushes if needed.

No reason to make callers take mmu_lock since we do not need to protect
kvm_mmu_change_mmu_pages() and kvm_mmu_slot_remove_write_access()
together by mmu_lock in kvm_arch_commit_memory_region(): the former
calls kvm_mmu_commit_zap_page() and flushes TLBs by itself.
Note: we do not need to protect kvm->arch.n_requested_mmu_pages by
mmu_lock as can be seen from the fact that it is read locklessly.

This makes it possible to release mmu_lock and reschedule conditionally
in a later patch. Although this may increase the time needed to protect
the whole slot when we start dirty logging, the kernel should not allow
the userspace to trigger something that will hold a spinlock for such a
long time as tens of milliseconds: actually there is no limit since it
is roughly proportional to the number of guest pages.
Another point to note is that this patch removes the only user of
slot_bitmap which will cause some problems when we increase the number
of slots further.

We have two issues in current code:
- if target gfn is used as its page table, guest will refault then kvm will use
small page size to map it. We need two #PF to fix its shadow page table
- sometimes, say a exception is triggered during vm-exit caused by #PF
(see handle_exception() in vmx.c), we remove all the shadow pages shadowed
by the target gfn before go into page fault path, it will cause infinite
loop:
delete shadow pages shadowed by the gfn -> try to use large page size to map
the gfn -> retry the access ->...
To fix these, we can adjust page size early if the target gfn is used as page
table

If the write-fault access is from supervisor and CR0.WP is not set on the
vcpu, kvm will fix it by adjusting pte access - it sets the W bit on pte
and clears U bit. This is the chance that kvm can change pte access from
readonly to writable
Unfortunately, the pte access is the access of 'direct' shadow page table,
means direct sp.role.access = pte_access, then we will create a writable
spte entry on the readonly shadow page table. It will cause Dirty bit is
not tracked when two guest ptes point to the same large page. Note, it
does not have other impact except Dirty bit since cr0.wp is encoded into
sp.role
It can be fixed by adjusting pte access before establishing shadow page
table. Also, after that, no mmu specified code exists in the common function
and drop two parameters in set_spte

There are two cases we need to adjust page size in set_spte:
1): the one is other vcpu creates new sp in the window between mapping_level()
and acquiring mmu-lock.
2): the another case is the new sp is created by itself (page-fault path) when
guest uses the target gfn as its page table.
In current code, set_spte drop the spte and emulate the access for these case,
it works not good:
- for the case 1, it may destroy the mapping established by other vcpu, and
do expensive instruction emulation.
- for the case 2, it may emulate the access even if the guest is accessing
the page which not used as page table. There is a example, 0~2M is used as
huge page in guest, in this huge page, only page 3 used as page table, then
guest read/writes on other pages can cause instruction emulation.
Both of these cases can be fixed by allowing guest to retry the access, it
will refault, then we can establish the mapping by using small page

walk_addr_generic() permission checks are a maze of branchy code, which is
performed four times per lookup. It depends on the type of access, efer.nxe,
cr0.wp, cr4.smep, and in the near future, cr4.smap.
Optimize this away by precalculating all variants and storing them in a
bitmap. The bitmap is recalculated when rarely-changing variables change
(cr0, cr4) and is indexed by the often-changing variables (page fault error
code, pte access permissions).
The permission check is moved to the end of the loop, otherwise an SMEP
fault could be reported as a false positive, when PDE.U=1 but PTE.U=0.

gpte_access() computes the access permissions of a guest pte and also
write-protects clean gptes. This is wrong when we are servicing a
write fault (since we'll be setting the dirty bit momentarily) but
correct when instantiating a speculative spte, or when servicing a
read fault (since we'll want to trap a following write in order to
set the dirty bit).
It doesn't seem to hurt in practice, but in order to make the code
readable, push the write protection out of gpte_access() and into
a new protect_clean_gpte() which is called explicitly when needed.

Although the possible race described in
commit 85b7059169
KVM: MMU: fix shrinking page from the empty mmu
was correct, the real cause of that issue was a more trivial bug of
mmu_shrink() introduced by
commit 1952639665
KVM: MMU: do not iterate over all VMs in mmu_shrink()
Here is the bug:
if (kvm->arch.n_used_mmu_pages > 0) {
if (!nr_to_scan--)
break;
continue;
}
We skip VMs whose n_used_mmu_pages is not zero and try to shrink others:
in other words we try to shrink empty ones by mistake.
This patch reverses the logic so that mmu_shrink() can free pages from
the first VM whose n_used_mmu_pages is not zero. Note that we also add
comments explaining the role of nr_to_scan which is not practically
important now, hoping this will be improved in the future.

When guest's memory is backed by THP pages, MMU notifier needs to call
kvm_unmap_hva(), which in turn leads to kvm_handle_hva(), in a loop to
invalidate a range of pages which constitute one huge page:
for each page
for each memslot
if page is in memslot
unmap using rmap
This means although every page in that range is expected to be found in
the same memslot, we are forced to check unrelated memslots many times.
If the guest has more memslots, the situation will become worse.
Furthermore, if the range does not include any pages in the guest's
memory, the loop over the pages will just consume extra time.
This patch, together with the following patches, solves this problem by
introducing kvm_handle_hva_range() which makes the loop look like this:
for each memslot
for each page in memslot
unmap using rmap
In this new processing, the actual work is converted to a loop over rmap
which is much more cache friendly than before.
