Subject: [PATCH v4 1/7] KVM: x86: Carve out PML flush routine
Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2025 06:25:09 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251013062515.3712430-2-nikunj@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251013062515.3712430-1-nikunj@amd.com>

Move the PML (Page Modification Logging) buffer flushing logic from
VMX-specific code to common x86 KVM code to enable reuse by SVM and avoid
code duplication.

The AMD SVM PML implementations share the same behavior as VMX PML:
 1) The PML buffer is a 4K page with 512 entries
 2) Hardware records dirty GPAs in reverse order (from index 511 to 0)
 3) Hardware clears bits 11:0 when recording GPAs

The PML constants (PML_LOG_NR_ENTRIES and PML_HEAD_INDEX) are moved from
vmx.h to x86.h to make them available to both VMX and SVM.

No functional change intended for VMX, except tone down the WARN_ON() to
WARN_ON_ONCE() for the page alignment check. If hardware exhibits this
behavior once, it's likely to occur repeatedly, so use WARN_ON_ONCE() to
avoid log flooding while still capturing the unexpected condition.

The refactoring prepares for SVM to leverage the same PML flushing
implementation.
