[PATCH 00/11] KVM: guest_memfd: New hooks and functionality for SEV-SNP and TDX

[Matthew, you're Cc'd here for patches 1 and 3 which touch
the mm/filemap code. Since in the meanwhile the KVM side has
taken a more definitive shape, this time through review/ack is
welcome! And there is a proper commit message too. - Paolo]

This is the next version of the gmem common API patches,
adding target-independent functionality and hooks that are
needed by SEV-SNP and TDX.

The code in here is mostly taken from two series:

- [PATCH 00/21] TDX/SNP part 1 of n, for 6.9
https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20240227232100.478238-1-pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx/

- [PATCH gmem 0/6] gmem fix-ups and interfaces for populating gmem pages
https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20240329212444.395559-1-michael.roth@xxxxxxx/

1-2: This introduces an AS_INACCESSIBLE flag that prevents unexpected
accesses to hole-punched gmem pages before invalidation hooks have had
a chance to make them safely accessible to the host again.

3-9: This introduces an interface for preparing gmem pages either on first
use or by populating them with user data.

The latter interface, kvm_gmem_populate(), alternates calls
to __kvm_gmem_get_pfn() with calls to a user provided callback.
This implementation simplifies the handling of races and errors,
by confining filemap rollback and locking in kvm_gmem_populate().
The function's tasks are otherwise kept to the minimum so that
it can be used by both SNP and TDX.

10-11: This introduces other hooks needed by SEV-SNP, and is unchanged
from "[PATCH 00/21] TDX/SNP part 1 of n, for 6.9".

The main changes compared to the previous posting are in patch 9;
both the locking of kvm_gmem_populate() (which now takes the
filemap's invalidate_lock) and the operation of the function
(which now looks up the memslot, but OTOH does not do copy_from_user()
anymore) are pretty new. I tested the logic slightly by adding a call
to it for sw-protected VMs.

Shout or post fixups if it breaks something for you.

Current state:

- kvm/queue has the SEV_INIT2 and some easy refactorings from
the TDX series. Both are expected to move to kvm/next soon.

- I have pushed this already at kvm-coco-queue, but I haven't
finished the #VE series yet so tomorrow I'll post it and
update kvm-coco-queue again.

Paolo
