Optimize the clearing of dirty state in TDP MMU SPTEs by doing an
atomic-AND (on SPTEs that have volatile bits) instead of the full XCHG
that currently ends up being invoked (see kvm_tdp_mmu_write_spte()).
Clearing _only_ the bit in question will allow KVM to skip the many
irrelevant checks in __handle_changed_spte() by avoiding any collateral
damage due to the XCHG writing all SPTE bits, e.g. the XCHG could race
with fast_page_fault() setting the W-bit and the CPU setting the D-bit,
and thus incorrectly drop the CPU's D-bit update.

When zapping collapsible SPTEs in the TDP MMU, don't bottom out on a leaf
SPTE now that KVM doesn't require a PFN to compute the host mapping level,
i.e. now that there's no need to first find a leaf SPTE and then step
back up.
Drop the now unused tdp_iter_step_up(), as it is not the safest of

Currently disabling dirty logging with the TDP MMU is extremely slow.
On a 96 vCPU / 96G VM backed with gigabyte pages, it takes ~200 seconds
to disable dirty logging with the TDP MMU, as opposed to ~4 seconds with
the shadow MMU.
When disabling dirty logging, zap non-leaf parent entries to allow
replacement with huge pages instead of recursing and zapping all of the
child, leaf entries. This reduces the number of TLB flushes required.
and reduces the disable dirty log time with the TDP MMU to ~3 seconds.
Opportunistically add a WARN() to catch GFNs that are mapped at a
higher level than their max level.

Use an atomic XCHG to write TDP MMU SPTEs that have volatile bits, even
if mmu_lock is held for write, as volatile SPTEs can be written by other
tasks/vCPUs outside of mmu_lock. If a vCPU uses the to-be-modified SPTE
to write a page, the CPU can cache the translation as WRITABLE in the TLB
despite it being seen by KVM as !WRITABLE, and/or KVM can clobber the
Accessed/Dirty bits and not properly tag the backing page.
Exempt non-leaf SPTEs from atomic updates as KVM itself doesn't modify
non-leaf SPTEs without holding mmu_lock, they do not have Dirty bits, and
KVM doesn't consume the Accessed bit of non-leaf SPTEs.
Dropping the Dirty and/or Writable bits is most problematic for dirty
logging, as doing so can result in a missed TLB flush and eventually a
missed dirty page. In the unlikely event that the only dirty page(s) is
a clobbered SPTE, clear_dirty_gfn_range() will see the SPTE as not dirty
(based on the Dirty or Writable bit depending on the method) and so not
update the SPTE and ultimately not flush. If the SPTE is cached in the
TLB as writable before it is clobbered, the guest can continue writing
the associated page without ever taking a write-protect fault.
For most (all?) file back memory, dropping the Dirty bit is a non-issue.
The primary MMU write-protects its PTEs on writeback, i.e. KVM's dirty
bit is effectively ignored because the primary MMU will mark that page
dirty when the write-protection is lifted, e.g. when KVM faults the page
back in for write.
The Accessed bit is a complete non-issue. Aside from being unused for
non-leaf SPTEs, KVM doesn't do a TLB flush when aging SPTEs, i.e. the
Accessed bit may be dropped anyways.
Lastly, the Writable bit is also problematic as an extension of the Dirty
bit, as KVM (correctly) treats the Dirty bit as volatile iff the SPTE is
!DIRTY && WRITABLE. If KVM fixes an MMU-writable, but !WRITABLE, SPTE
out of mmu_lock, then it can allow the CPU to set the Dirty bit despite
the SPTE being !WRITABLE when it is checked by KVM. But that all depends
on the Dirty bit being problematic in the first place.

Defer TLB flushes to the caller when freeing TDP MMU shadow pages instead
of immediately flushing. Because the shadow pages are freed in an RCU
callback, so long as at least one CPU holds RCU, all CPUs are protected.
For vCPUs running in the guest, i.e. consuming TLB entries, KVM only
needs to ensure the caller services the pending TLB flush before dropping
its RCU protections. I.e. use the caller's RCU as a proxy for all vCPUs
running in the guest.
Deferring the flushes allows batching flushes, e.g. when installing a
1gb hugepage and zapping a pile of SPs. And when zapping an entire root,
deferring flushes allows skipping the flush entirely (because flushes are
not needed in that case).
Avoiding flushes when zapping an entire root is especially important as
synchronizing with other CPUs via IPI after zapping every shadow page can
cause significant performance issues for large VMs. The issue is
exacerbated by KVM zapping entire top-level entries without dropping
RCU protection, which can lead to RCU stalls even when zapping roots
backing relatively "small" amounts of guest memory, e.g. 2tb. Removing
the IPI bottleneck largely mitigates the RCU issues, though it's likely
still a problem for 5-level paging. A future patch will further address
the problem by zapping roots in multiple passes to avoid holding RCU for
an extended duration.

After dropping mmu_lock in the TDP MMU, restart the iterator during
tdp_iter_next() and do not advance the iterator. Advancing the iterator
results in skipping the top-level SPTE and all its children, which is
fatal if any of the skipped SPTEs were not visited before yielding.
When zapping all SPTEs, i.e. when min_level == root_level, restarting the
iter and then invoking tdp_iter_next() is always fatal if the current gfn
has as a valid SPTE, as advancing the iterator results in try_step_side()
skipping the current gfn, which wasn't visited before yielding.
Sprinkle WARNs on iter->yielded being true in various helpers that are
often used in conjunction with yielding, and tag the helper with
__must_check to reduce the probabily of improper usage.
Failing to zap a top-level SPTE manifests in one of two ways. If a valid
SPTE is skipped by both kvm_tdp_mmu_zap_all() and kvm_tdp_mmu_put_root(),
the shadow page will be leaked and KVM will WARN accordingly.

Note, the underlying bug existed even before commit 1af4a96025 ("KVM:
x86/mmu: Yield in TDU MMU iter even if no SPTES changed") moved calls to
tdp_mmu_iter_cond_resched() to the beginning of loops, as KVM could still
incorrectly advance past a top-level entry when yielding on a lower-level
entry. But with respect to leaking shadow pages, the bug was introduced
by yielding before processing the current gfn.
Alternatively, tdp_mmu_iter_cond_resched() could simply fall through, or
callers could jump to their "retry" label. The downside of that approach
is that tdp_mmu_iter_cond_resched() _must_ be called before anything else
in the loop, and there's no easy way to enfornce that requirement.
Ideally, KVM would handling the cond_resched() fully within the iterator
macro (the code is actually quite clean) and avoid this entire class of
bugs, but that is extremely difficult do while also supporting yielding
after tdp_mmu_set_spte_atomic() fails. Yielding after failing to set a
SPTE is very desirable as the "owner" of the REMOVED_SPTE isn't strictly
bounded, e.g. if it's zapping a high-level shadow page, the REMOVED_SPTE
may block operations on the SPTE for a significant amount of time.

In tdp_mmu_iter_cond_resched there is a call to tdp_iter_start which
causes the iterator to continue its walk over the paging structure from
the root. This is needed after a yield as paging structure could have
been freed in the interim.
The tdp_iter_start call is not very clear and something of a hack. It
requires exposing tdp_iter fields not used elsewhere in tdp_mmu.c and
the effect is not obvious from the function name. Factor a more aptly
named function out of tdp_iter_start and call it from
tdp_mmu_iter_cond_resched and tdp_iter_start.

In order to enable concurrent modifications to the paging structures in
the TDP MMU, threads must be able to safely remove pages of page table
memory while other threads are traversing the same memory. To ensure
threads do not access PT memory after it is freed, protect PT memory
with RCU.
Protecting concurrent accesses to page table memory from use-after-free
bugs could also have been acomplished using
walk_shadow_page_lockless_begin/end() and READING_SHADOW_PAGE_TABLES,
coupling with the barriers in a TLB flush. The use of RCU for this case
has several distinct advantages over that approach.
1. Disabling interrupts for long running operations is not desirable.
Future commits will allow operations besides page faults to operate
without the exclusive protection of the MMU lock and those operations
are too long to disable iterrupts for their duration.
2. The use of RCU here avoids long blocking / spinning operations in
perfromance critical paths. By freeing memory with an asynchronous
RCU API we avoid the longer wait times TLB flushes experience when
overlapping with a thread in walk_shadow_page_lockless_begin/end().
3. RCU provides a separation of concerns when removing memory from the
paging structure. Because the RCU callback to free memory can be
scheduled immediately after a TLB flush, there's no need for the
thread to manually free a queue of pages later, as commit_zap_pages
does.

In some functions the TDP iter risks not making forward progress if two
threads livelock yielding to one another. This is possible if two threads

and then yield. This would reset the tdp_iter's walk over the paging
structure and the loop would end up repeating the same entry over and
over, preventing either thread from making forward progress.
Fix this issue by only yielding if the loop has made forward progress
since the last yield.
