Subject: [GIT PULL] KVM: x86: MMU changes for 6.9
Date: Fri,  8 Mar 2024 14:36:57 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240308223702.1350851-5-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240308223702.1350851-1-seanjc@google.com>

The bulk of the changes are TDP MMU improvements related to memslot deletion
(ChromeOS has a use case that "requires" frequent deletion of a GPU buffer).
The other highlight is allocating the write-tracking metadata on-demand, e.g.
so that distro kernels pay the memory cost of the arrays if and only if KVM
or KVMGT actually needs to shadow guest page tables.

The following changes since commit 41bccc98fb7931d63d03f326a746ac4d429c1dd3:

  Linux 6.8-rc2 (2024-01-28 17:01:12 -0800)

  kvm/x86: allocate the write-tracking metadata on-demand (2024-02-27 11:49:54 -0800)

----------------------------------------------------------------
KVM x86 MMU changes for 6.9:

 - Clean up code related to unprotecting shadow pages when retrying a guest
   instruction after failed #PF-induced emulation.

 - Zap TDP MMU roots at 4KiB granularity to minimize the delay in yielding if
   a reschedule is needed, e.g. if a high priority task needs to run.  Because
   KVM doesn't support yielding in the middle of processing a zapped non-leaf
   SPTE, zapping at 1GiB granularity can result in multi-millisecond lag when
   attempting to schedule in a high priority.

 - Rework TDP MMU root unload, free, and alloc to run with mmu_lock held for
   read, e.g. to avoid serializing vCPUs when userspace deletes a memslot.

 - Allocate write-tracking metadata on-demand to avoid the memory overhead when
   running kernels built with KVMGT support (external write-tracking enabled),
   but for workloads that don't use nested virtualization (shadow paging) or
   KVMGT.
