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.
Noted by Xiao Guangrong.
The result is short, branch-free code.

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 we invalidate a THP page, we call the handler with the same

This patch avoids these extra handler calls by changing the loop order

we noticed that MMU notifier took a long time to invalidate huge pages.
Since the invalidation was done with mmu_lock held, it not only wasted

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.

Currently the MMU's ->new_cr3() callback does nothing when guest paging
is disabled or when two-dimentional paging (e.g. EPT on Intel) is active.
This means that an emulated write to cr3 can be lost; kvm_set_cr3() will
write vcpu-arch.cr3, but the GUEST_CR3 field in the VMCS will retain its
old value and this is what the guest sees.
This bug did not have any effect until now because:
- with unrestricted guest, or with svm, we never emulate a mov cr3 instruction
- without unrestricted guest, and with paging enabled, we also never emulate a
mov cr3 instruction
- without unrestricted guest, but with paging disabled, the guest's cr3 is
ignored until the guest enables paging; at this point the value from arch.cr3
is loaded correctly my the mov cr0 instruction which turns on paging
However, the patchset that enables big real mode causes us to emulate mov cr3
instructions in protected mode sometimes (when guest state is not virtualizable
by vmx); this mov cr3 is effectively ignored and will crash the guest.
The fix is to make nonpaging_new_cr3() call mmu_free_roots() to force a cr3
reload. This is awkward because now all the new_cr3 callbacks to the same
thing, and because mmu_free_roots() is somewhat of an overkill; but fixing
that is more complicated and will be done after this minimal fix.

Using RCU for lockless shadow walking can increase the amount of memory
in use by the system, since RCU grace periods are unpredictable. We also
have an unconditional write to a shared variable (reader_counter), which
isn't good for scaling.
Replace that with a scheme similar to x86's get_user_pages_fast(): disable
interrupts during lockless shadow walk to force the freer
(kvm_mmu_commit_zap_page()) to wait for the TLB flush IPI to find the
processor with interrupts enabled.
We also add a new vcpu->mode, READING_SHADOW_PAGE_TABLES, to prevent
kvm_flush_remote_tlbs() from avoiding the IPI.

Iteration using rmap_next(), the actual body is pte_list_next(), is
inefficient: every time we call it we start from checking whether rmap
holds a single spte or points to a descriptor which links more sptes.
In the case of shadow paging, this quadratic total iteration cost is a
problem. Even for two dimensional paging, with EPT/NPT on, in which we
almost always have a single mapping, the extra checks at the end of the
iteration should be eliminated.
This patch fixes this by introducing rmap_iterator which keeps the
iteration context for the next search. Furthermore the implementation
of rmap_next() is splitted into two functions, rmap_get_first() and
rmap_get_next(), to avoid repeatedly checking whether the rmap being
iterated on has only one spte.
Although there seemed to be only a slight change for EPT/NPT, the actual
improvement was significant: we observed that GET_DIRTY_LOG for 1GB
dirty memory became 15% faster than before. This is probably because
the new code is easy to make branch predictions.
Note: we just remove pte_list_next() because we can think of parent_ptes
as a reverse mapping.

We have PTE_LIST_EXT + 1 pointers in this structure and these 40/20
bytes do not fit cache lines well. Furthermore, some allocators may
use 64/32-byte objects for the pte_list_desc cache.
This patch solves this problem by changing PTE_LIST_EXT from 4 to 3.
For shadow paging, the new size is still large enough to hold both the
kernel and process mappings for usual anonymous pages. For file
mappings, there may be a slight change in the cache usage.
Note: with EPT/NPT we almost always have a single spte in each reverse
mapping and we will not see any change by this.
