Oliver Upton 83510396c0 Merge branch kvm-arm64/eager-page-splitting into kvmarm/next
* kvm-arm64/eager-page-splitting:
  : Eager Page Splitting, courtesy of Ricardo Koller.
  :
  : Dirty logging performance is dominated by the cost of splitting
  : hugepages to PTE granularity. On systems that mere mortals can get their
  : hands on, each fault incurs the cost of a full break-before-make
  : pattern, wherein the broadcast invalidation and ensuing serialization
  : significantly increases fault latency.
  :
  : The goal of eager page splitting is to move the cost of hugepage
  : splitting out of the stage-2 fault path and instead into the ioctls
  : responsible for managing the dirty log:
  :
  :  - If manual protection is enabled for the VM, hugepage splitting
  :    happens in the KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG ioctl. This is desirable as it
  :    provides userspace granular control over hugepage splitting.
  :
  :  - Otherwise, if userspace relies on the legacy dirty log behavior
  :    (clear on collection), hugepage splitting is done at the moment dirty
  :    logging is enabled for a particular memslot.
  :
  : Support for eager page splitting requires explicit opt-in from
  : userspace, which is realized through the
  : KVM_CAP_ARM_EAGER_SPLIT_CHUNK_SIZE capability.
