KVM: x86/mmu: change TDP MMU yield function returns to match cond_resched

KVM: x86/mmu: change TDP MMU yield function returns to match cond_resched

[ Upstream commit e28a436ca4f65384cceaf3f4da0e00aa74244e6a ]

Currently the TDP MMU yield / cond_resched functions either return
nothing or return true if the TLBs were not flushed. These are confusing
semantics, especially when making control flow decisions in calling
functions.

To clean things up, change both functions to have the same
return value semantics as cond_resched: true if the thread yielded,
false if it did not. If the function yielded in the _flush_ version,
then the TLBs will have been flushed.

KVM: x86/mmu: Expand collapsible SPTE zap for TDP MMU to ZONE_DEVICE and HugeTLB pages

[ Upstream commit c060c72ffeb448fbb5864faa1f672ebfe14dd25f ]

Zap SPTEs that are backed by ZONE_DEVICE pages when zappings SPTEs to
rebuild them as huge pages in the TDP MMU. ZONE_DEVICE huge pages are
managed differently than "regular" pages and are not compound pages.
Likewise, PageTransCompoundMap() will not detect HugeTLB, so switch
to PageCompound().

This matches the similar check in kvm_mmu_zap_collapsible_spte.

KVM: x86/mmu: Ensure TDP MMU roots are freed after yield

commit a889ea54b3daa63ee1463dc19ed699407d61458b upstream.

Many TDP MMU functions which need to perform some action on all TDP MMU
roots hold a reference on that root so that they can safely drop the MMU
lock in order to yield to other threads. However, when releasing the
reference on the root, there is a bug: the root will not be freed even
if its reference count (root_count) is reduced to 0.

To simplify acquiring and releasing references on TDP MMU root pages, and
to ensure that these roots are properly freed, move the get/put operations
into another TDP MMU root iterator macro.

Moving the get/put operations into an iterator macro also helps
simplify control flow when a root does need to be freed. Note that using
the list_for_each_entry_safe macro would not have been appropriate in
this situation because it could keep a pointer to the next root across
an MMU lock release + reacquire, during which time that root could be
freed.

KVM: x86/mmu: Get root level from walkers when retrieving MMIO SPTE

commit 39b4d43e6003cee51cd119596d3c33d0449eb44c upstream.

Get the so called "root" level from the low level shadow page table
walkers instead of manually attempting to calculate it higher up the
stack, e.g. in get_mmio_spte(). When KVM is using PAE shadow paging,
the starting level of the walk, from the callers perspective, is not
the CR3 root but rather the PDPTR "root". Checking for reserved bits
from the CR3 root causes get_mmio_spte() to consume uninitialized stack
data due to indexing into sptes[] for a level that was not filled by
get_walk(). This can result in false positives and/or negatives
depending on what garbage happens to be on the stack.

Opportunistically nuke a few extra newlines.

KVM: x86/mmu: Use -1 to flag an undefined spte in get_mmio_spte()

KVM: x86/mmu: Use -1 to flag an undefined spte in get_mmio_spte()

commit 2aa078932ff6c66bf10cc5b3144440dbfa7d813d upstream.

Return -1 from the get_walk() helpers if the shadow walk doesn't fill at
least one spte, which can theoretically happen if the walk hits a
not-present PDPTR. Returning the root level in such a case will cause
get_mmio_spte() to return garbage (uninitialized stack data). In
practice, such a scenario should be impossible as KVM shouldn't get a
reserved-bit page fault with a not-present PDPTR.

Note, using mmu->root_level in get_walk() is wrong for other reasons,
too, but that's now a moot point.

may be reduced in the case of HW features that steal HPA bits for other
purposes. However, this doesn't necessarily reduce GPA space that can be

retrieved from CPUID. This is already stored in shadow_phys_bits, so use
it instead of x86_phys_bits.

kvm: x86/mmu: NX largepage recovery for TDP MMU

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.

kvm: x86/mmu: Init / Uninit the TDP MMU

The TDP MMU offers an alternative mode of operation to the x86 shadow
paging based MMU, optimized for running an L1 guest with TDP. The TDP MMU
will require new fields that need to be initialized and torn down. Add
hooks into the existing KVM MMU initialization process to do that
initialization / cleanup. Currently the initialization and cleanup
fucntions do not do very much, however more operations will be added in
future patches.
