2020-10-23	kvm: x86/mmu: NX largepage recovery for TDP MMU	Ben Gardon	1	-0/+3
	When KVM maps a largepage backed region at a lower level in order to make it executable (i.e. NX large page shattering), it reduces the TLB performance of that region. In order to avoid making this degradation permanent, KVM must periodically reclaim shattered NX largepages by zapping them and allowing them to be rebuilt in the page fault handler. With this patch, the TDP MMU does not respect KVM's rate limiting on reclaim. It traverses the entire TDP structure every time. This will be addressed in a future patch. Tested by running kvm-unit-tests and KVM selftests on an Intel Haswell machine. This series introduced no new failures.

2020-10-23	kvm: x86/mmu: Add TDP MMU PF handler	Ben Gardon	1	-0/+32
	Add functions to handle page faults in the TDP MMU. These page faults are currently handled in much the same way as the x86 shadow paging based MMU, however the ordering of some operations is slightly different. Future patches will add eager NX splitting, a fast page fault handler, and parallel page faults. Tested by running kvm-unit-tests and KVM selftests on an Intel Haswell machine.

2020-10-21	kvm: x86/mmu: Add functions to handle changed TDP SPTEs	Ben Gardon	1	-0/+2
	The existing bookkeeping done by KVM when a PTE is changed is spread around several functions. This makes it difficult to remember all the stats, bitmaps, and other subsystems that need to be updated whenever a PTE is modified. When a non-leaf PTE is marked non-present or becomes a leaf PTE, page table memory must also be freed. To simplify the MMU and facilitate the use of atomic operations on SPTEs in future patches, create functions to handle some of the bookkeeping required as a result of a change.

2020-10-21	kvm: x86/mmu: Allocate and free TDP MMU roots	Ben Gardon	1	-0/+20
	The TDP MMU must be able to allocate paging structure root pages and track the usage of those pages. Implement a similar, but separate system for root page allocation to that of the x86 shadow paging implementation. When future patches add synchronization model changes to allow for parallel page faults, these pages will need to be handled differently from the x86 shadow paging based MMU's root pages. Tested by running kvm-unit-tests and KVM selftests on an Intel Haswell machine. This series introduced no new failures.

2020-10-21	KVM: mmu: extract spte.h and spte.c	Paolo Bonzini	1	-1/+30
	The SPTE format will be common to both the shadow and the TDP MMU. Extract code that implements the format to a separate module, as a first step towards adding the TDP MMU and putting mmu.c on a diet. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
2020-07-08	KVM: x86/mmu: Rename page_header() to to_shadow_page()	Sean Christopherson	1	-2/+2
	Rename KVM's accessor for retrieving a 'struct kvm_mmu_page' from the associated host physical address to better convey what the function is doing.

2020-07-08	KVM: x86/mmu: Add sptep_to_sp() helper to wrap shadow page lookup	Sean Christopherson	1	-0/+5
	Introduce sptep_to_sp() to reduce the boilerplate code needed to get the shadow page associated with a spte pointer, and to improve readability as it's not immediately obvious that "page_header" is a KVM-specific accessor for retrieving a shadow page.

2020-07-08	KVM: x86/mmu: Make kvm_mmu_page definition and accessor internal-only	Sean Christopherson	1	-0/+48
	Make 'struct kvm_mmu_page' MMU-only, nothing outside of the MMU should be poking into the gory details of shadow pages.

2020-07-08	KVM: x86/mmu: Add MMU-internal header	Sean Christopherson	1	-0/+10
	Add mmu/mmu_internal.h to hold declarations and definitions that need to be shared between various mmu/ files, but should not be used by anything outside of the MMU. Begin populating mmu_internal.h with declarations of the helpers used by page_track.c.
