Sean Christopherson cfe12e64b0 KVM: selftests: Add an option to run vCPUs while disabling dirty logging
Add a command line option to dirty_log_perf_test to run vCPUs for the
entire duration of disabling dirty logging.  By default, the test stops
running runs vCPUs before disabling dirty logging, which is faster but
less interesting as it doesn't stress KVM's handling of contention
between page faults and the zapping of collapsible SPTEs.  Enabling the
flag also lets the user verify that KVM is indeed rebuilding zapped SPTEs
as huge pages by checking KVM's pages_{1g,2m,4k} stats.  Without vCPUs to
fault in the zapped SPTEs, the stats will show that KVM is zapping pages,
but they never show whether or not KVM actually allows huge pages to be
recreated.

Note!  Enabling the flag can _significantly_ increase runtime, especially
if the thread that's disabling dirty logging doesn't have a dedicated
pCPU, e.g. if all pCPUs are used to run vCPUs.
