Paolo Bonzini 2a8859f373 KVM: x86/mmu: do compare-and-exchange of gPTE via the user address
FNAME(cmpxchg_gpte) is an inefficient mess.  It is at least decent if it
can go through get_user_pages_fast(), but if it cannot then it tries to
use memremap(); that is not just terribly slow, it is also wrong because
it assumes that the VM_PFNMAP VMA is contiguous.

The right way to do it would be to do the same thing as
hva_to_pfn_remapped() does since commit add6a0cd1c ("KVM: MMU: try to
fix up page faults before giving up", 2016-07-05), using follow_pte()
and fixup_user_fault() to determine the correct address to use for
memremap().  To do this, one could for example extract hva_to_pfn()
for use outside virt/kvm/kvm_main.c.  But really there is no reason to
do that either, because there is already a perfectly valid address to
do the cmpxchg() on, only it is a userspace address.  That means doing
user_access_begin()/user_access_end() and writing the code in assembly
to handle exceptions correctly.  Worse, the guest PTE can be 8-byte
even on i686 so there is the extra complication of using cmpxchg8b to
account for.  But at least it is an efficient mess.

(Thanks to Linus for suggesting improvement on the inline assembly).

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
