d89cc617b9 KVM: Push rmap into kvm_arch_memory_slot
Two reasons:
 - x86 can integrate rmap and rmap_pde and remove heuristics in
   __gfn_to_rmap().
 - Some architectures do not need rmap.

Since rmap is one of the most memory consuming stuff in KVM, ppc'd
better restrict the allocation to Book3S HV.

3b2bd2f800 KVM: MMU: use kvm_release_pfn_clean to release pfn
The current code depends on the fact that fault_page is the normal page,
however, we will use the error code instead of these dummy pages in the
later patch, so we use kvm_release_pfn_clean to release pfn which will
release the error code properly

bcd3ef5828 KVM: MMU: Avoid handling same rmap_pde in kvm_handle_hva_range()
When we invalidate a THP page, we call the handler with the same
rmap_pde argument 512 times in the following loop:

  for each guest page in the range
    for each level
      unmap using rmap

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

  for each level
    for each rmap in the range
      unmap using rmap

With the preceding patches in the patch series, this made THP page
invalidation more than 5 times faster on our x86 host: the host became
more responsive during swapping the guest's memory as a result.

b3ae209697 KVM: Introduce kvm_unmap_hva_range() for kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start()
When we tested KVM under memory pressure, with THP enabled on the host,
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
the CPU but also made the host harder to respond.

This patch mitigates this by using kvm_handle_hva_range().

84504ef386 KVM: MMU: Make kvm_handle_hva() handle range of addresses
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.

e676505ac9 KVM: MMU: Force cr3 reload with two dimensional paging on mov cr3 emulation
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.

Observed in the Window XP 32-bit installer while bringing up secondary vcpus.

79f702a6d1 KVM: disable uninitialized var warning
I see this in 3.5-rc1:

arch/x86/kvm/mmu.c: In function ‘kvm_test_age_rmapp’:
arch/x86/kvm/mmu.c:1271: warning: ‘iter.desc’ may be used uninitialized in this function

The line in question was introduced by commit
1e3f42f03c

 static int kvm_test_age_rmapp(struct kvm *kvm, unsigned long *rmapp,
                              unsigned long data)
 {
-       u64 *spte;
+       u64 *sptep;
+       struct rmap_iterator iter;   <- line 1271
        int young = 0;

        /*

The reason I think is that the compiler assumes that
the rmap value could be 0, so

static u64 *rmap_get_first(unsigned long rmap, struct rmap_iterator
*iter)
{
        if (!rmap)
                return NULL;

        if (!(rmap & 1)) {
                iter->desc = NULL;
                return (u64 *)rmap;
        }

        iter->desc = (struct pte_list_desc *)(rmap & ~1ul);
        iter->pos = 0;
        return iter->desc->sptes[iter->pos];
}

will not initialize iter.desc, but the compiler isn't
smart enough to see that

        for (sptep = rmap_get_first(*rmapp, &iter); sptep;
             sptep = rmap_get_next(&iter)) {

will immediately exit in this case.
I checked by adding
        if (!*rmapp)
                goto out;
on top which is clearly equivalent but disables the warning.

This patch uses uninitialized_var to disable the warning without
increasing code size.

c358666783 KVM: MMU: fix huge page adapted on non-PAE host
The huge page size is 4M on non-PAE host, but 2M page size is used in
transparent_hugepage_adjust(), so the page we get after adjust the
mapping level is not the head page, the BUG_ON() will be triggered

c142786c62 KVM: MMU: Don't use RCU for lockless shadow walking
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.

1e3f42f03c KVM: MMU: Improve iteration through sptes from rmap
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.

220f773a00 KVM: MMU: Make pte_list_desc fit cache lines well
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.

5dc99b2380 KVM: Avoid checking huge page mappings in get_dirty_log()
Dropped such mappings when we enabled dirty logging and we will never
create new ones until we stop the logging.

For this we introduce a new function which can be used to write protect
a range of PT level pages: although we do not need to care about a range
of pages at this point, the following patch will need this feature to
optimize the write protection of many pages.
