which is valid only for L1 guest, we should use arch.nested_mmu instead when
we translate gva to gpa for the L2 guest
Fix it by using @mmu instead since it is adapted to the current mmu mode

This patch tries to introduce a very simple and scale way to invalidate
all mmio sptes - it need not walk any shadow pages and hold mmu-lock
KVM maintains a global mmio valid generation-number which is stored in
kvm->memslots.generation and every mmio spte stores the current global
generation-number into his available bits when it is created
When KVM need zap all mmio sptes, it just simply increase the global
generation-number. When guests do mmio access, KVM intercepts a MMIO #PF
then it walks the shadow page table and get the mmio spte. If the
generation-number on the spte does not equal the global generation-number,
it will go to the normal #PF handler to update the mmio spte
Since 19 bits are used to store generation-number on mmio spte, we zap all
mmio sptes when the number is round

What this function is doing is to ensure that the number of shadow pages
does not exceed the maximum limit stored in n_max_mmu_pages: so this is
placed at every code path that can reach kvm_mmu_alloc_page().
Although it might have some sense to spread this function in each such
code path when it could be called before taking mmu_lock, the rule was
changed not to do so.
Taking this background into account, this patch moves it into
kvm_mmu_alloc_page() and simplifies the code.
Note: the unlikely hint in kvm_mmu_free_some_pages() guarantees that the
overhead of this function is almost zero except when we actually need to
allocate some shadow pages, so we do not need to care about calling it
multiple times in one path by doing kvm_mmu_get_page() a few times.

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

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.

While unspecified, the behaviour of Intel processors is to first
perform the page table walk, then, if the walk was successful, to
atomically update the accessed and dirty bits of walked paging elements.
While we are not required to follow this exactly, doing so will allow us
to perform the access permissions check after the walk is complete, rather
than after each walk step.
(the tricky case is SMEP: a zero in any pte's U bit makes the referenced
page a supervisor page, so we can't fault on a one bit during the walk
itself).

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.

On SVM, it is not possible to implement this, but on VMX this is possible
and was indeed implemented until nested SVM changed this to unconditionally

The idea is from Avi:
| We could cache the result of a miss in an spte by using a reserved bit, and
| checking the page fault error code (or seeing if we get an ept violation or
| ept misconfiguration), so if we get repeated mmio on a page, we don't need to
| search the slot list/tree.
| (https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/22/221)
When the page fault is caused by mmio, we cache the info in the shadow page
table, and also set the reserved bits in the shadow page table, so if the mmio
is caused again, we can quickly identify it and emulate it directly
Searching mmio gfn in memslots is heavy since we need to walk all memeslots, it
can be reduced by this feature, and also avoid walking guest page table for
soft mmu.
