[PATCH 2/4] KVM: x86/mmu: Defer "full" MMU setup until after vendor hardware_setup()

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Fri Jun 24 2022 - 19:27:47 EST


Defer MMU setup, and in particular allocation of pte_list_desc_cache,
until after the vendor's hardware_setup() has run, i.e. until after the
MMU has been configured by vendor code. This will allow a future commit
to dynamically size pte_list_desc's array of sptes based on whether or
not KVM is using TDP.

Alternatively, the setup could be done in kvm_configure_mmu(), but that
would require vendor code to call e.g. kvm_unconfigure_mmu() in teardown
and error paths, i.e. doesn't actually save code and is arguably uglier.

Note, keep the reset of PTE masks where it is to ensure that the masks
are reset before the vendor's hardware_setup() runs, i.e. before the
vendor code has a chance to manipulate the masks, e.g. VMX modifies masks
even before calling kvm_configure_mmu().
