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 performance of that region. In order to avoid making this degradation permanent, KVM must periodically reclaim shattered NX largepages by zapping them and allowing them to be rebuilt in the page fault handler. With this patch, the TDP MMU does not respect KVM's rate limiting on reclaim. It traverses the entire TDP structure every time. This will be addressed in a future patch. Tested by running kvm-unit-tests and KVM selftests on an Intel Haswell machine. This series introduced no new failures.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
