[PATCH 0/5] KVM: selftests: access_tracking_perf_test fixes for NUMA balancing and MGLRU

[James Houghton]

This is a follow-up from Maxim's recent v2[1] and the selftest changes
from the v8 of the x86 lockless aging series[2].

With MGLRU, touching a page doesn't necessarily clear the Idle flag.
This has come up in the past, and the recommendation was to use MGLRU
generation numbers[3], which is what this series does.

With NUMA balancing, pages are temporarily mapped as PROT_NONE, so the
SPTEs will be zapped, losing the Accessed bits. The fix here is, in the
event we have lost access information to print a warning and continue
with the test, just like what we do if the test is running a nested VM.

A flag is added for the user to specify if they wish for the test to
always enforce or always skip this check.

Based on kvm/next.
