[PATCH v3 7/9] x86/kvm/nVMX: introduce source data cache for kvm_init_shadow_ept_mmu()

Vitaly Kuznetsov
2018-10-01T14:20:08Z

MMU re-initialization is expensive, in particular,
update_permission_bitmask() and update_pkru_bitmask() are.

Cache the data used to setup shadow EPT MMU and avoid full re-init when
it is unchanged.

Changes since v2:
- Preserve mmu_role.base in kvm_calc_shadow_ept_root_page_role()
[Sean Christopherson]
- Rename kvm_calc_mmu_role_common() -> kvm_calc_mmu_role_ext() to
support the change.
