Subject: [PATCH v5 00/13] KVM/X86: Introduce a new guest mapping interface
Date:   Wed,  9 Jan 2019 10:42:00 +0100
Message-Id: <1547026933-31226-1-git-send-email-karahmed@amazon.de>

Precedence: bulk

Guest memory can either be directly managed by the kernel (i.e. have a "struct
page") or they can simply live outside kernel control (i.e. do not have a
"struct page"). KVM mostly support these two modes, except in a few places
where the code seems to assume that guest memory must have a "struct page".

This patchset introduces a new mapping interface to map guest memory into host
kernel memory which also supports PFN-based memory (i.e. memory without 'struct
page'). It also converts all offending code to this interface or simply
read/write directly from guest memory. Patch 2 is additionally fixing an
incorrect page release and marking the page as dirty (i.e. as a side-effect of
using the helper function to write).

As far as I can see all offending code is now fixed except the APIC-access page
which I will handle in a seperate series along with dropping
kvm_vcpu_gfn_to_page and kvm_vcpu_gpa_to_page from the internal KVM API.

The current implementation of the new API uses memremap to map memory that does
not have a "struct page". This proves to be very slow for high frequency
mappings. Since this does not affect the normal use-case where a "struct page"
is available, the performance of this API will be handled by a seperate patch
series.

v4 -> v5:
- Introduce a new parameter 'dirty' into kvm_vcpu_unmap
- A horrible rebase due to nested.c :)
- Dropped a couple of hyperv patches as the code was fixed already as a
  side-effect of another patch.
- Added a new trivial cleanup patch.

v3 -> v4:
- Rebase
- Add a new patch to also fix the newly introduced enlightned VMCS.

v2 -> v3:
- Rebase
- Add a new patch to also fix the newly introduced shadow VMCS.
