[PATCH 22/22] kvm: x86/mmu: NX largepage recovery for TDP MMU

From: Paolo Bonzini
Date: Fri Oct 23 2020 - 12:30:58 EST


From: Ben Gardon <bgardon@xxxxxxxxxx>

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.
