To date, we have implemented two I/O usage models for persistent memory,
PMEM (a persistent "ram disk") and DAX (mmap persistent memory into
userspace). This series adds a third, DAX-GUP, that allows DAX mappings
to be the target of direct-i/o. It allows userspace to coordinate
DMA/RDMA from/to persistent memory.
The implementation leverages the ZONE_DEVICE mm-zone that went into
4.3-rc1 (also discussed at kernel summit) to flag pages that are owned
and dynamically mapped by a device driver. The pmem driver, after
mapping a persistent memory range into the system memmap via
devm_memremap_pages(), arranges for DAX to distinguish pfn-only versus
page-backed pmem-pfns via flags in the new pfn_t type.
The DAX code, upon seeing a PFN_DEV+PFN_MAP flagged pfn, flags the
resulting pte(s) inserted into the process page tables with a new
_PAGE_DEVMAP flag. Later, when get_user_pages() is walking ptes it keys
off _PAGE_DEVMAP to pin the device hosting the page range active.
Finally, get_page() and put_page() are modified to take references
against the device driver established page mapping.
Finally, this need for "struct page" for persistent memory requires
memory capacity to store the memmap array. Given the memmap array for a
large pool of persistent may exhaust available DRAM introduce a
mechanism to allocate the memmap from persistent memory. The new
"struct vmem_altmap *" parameter to devm_memremap_pages() enables
arch_add_memory() to use reserved pmem capacity rather than the page
allocator.
This patch (of 18):
The core has developed a need for a "pfn_t" type [1]. Move the existing
pfn_t in KVM to kvm_pfn_t [2].

Every time kvm_mmu_get_page() is called with a non-NULL parent_pte
argument, link_shadow_page() follows that to set the parent entry so
that the new mapping will point to the returned page table.
Moving parent_pte handling there allows to clean up the code because
parent_pte is passed to kvm_mmu_get_page() just for mark_unsync() and
mmu_page_add_parent_pte().
In addition, the patch avoids calling mark_unsync() for other parents in
the sp->parent_ptes chain than the newly added parent_pte, because they
have been there since before the current page fault handling started.

but this is not necessary. Even though nEPT doesn't support A/D

we always use them for shadow page tables if available (see

OVMF uses such a page table; however, real hardware seems to be fine with

This is the first patch in a series which adds nested EPT support to KVM's
nested VMX. Nested EPT means emulating EPT for an L1 guest so that L1 can use
EPT when running a nested guest L2. When L1 uses EPT, it allows the L2 guest
to set its own cr3 and take its own page faults without either of L0 or L1
getting involved. This often significanlty improves L2's performance over the
previous two alternatives (shadow page tables over EPT, and shadow page
tables over shadow page tables).
This patch adds EPT support to paging_tmpl.h.
paging_tmpl.h contains the code for reading and writing page tables. The code
for 32-bit and 64-bit tables is very similar, but not identical, so
paging_tmpl.h is #include'd twice in mmu.c, once with PTTTYPE=32 and once
with PTTYPE=64, and this generates the two sets of similar functions.
There are subtle but important differences between the format of EPT tables
and that of ordinary x86 64-bit page tables, so for nested EPT we need a
third set of functions to read the guest EPT table and to write the shadow
EPT table.
So this patch adds third PTTYPE, PTTYPE_EPT, which creates functions (prefixed
with "EPT") which correctly read and write EPT tables.

This patch tries to introduce a very simple and scale way to invalidate
all mmio sptes - it need not walk any shadow pages and hold mmu-lock
KVM maintains a global mmio valid generation-number which is stored in
kvm->memslots.generation and every mmio spte stores the current global
generation-number into his available bits when it is created
When KVM need zap all mmio sptes, it just simply increase the global
generation-number. When guests do mmio access, KVM intercepts a MMIO #PF
then it walks the shadow page table and get the mmio spte. If the
generation-number on the spte does not equal the global generation-number,
it will go to the normal #PF handler to update the mmio spte
Since 19 bits are used to store generation-number on mmio spte, we zap all
mmio sptes when the number is round

What this function is doing is to ensure that the number of shadow pages
does not exceed the maximum limit stored in n_max_mmu_pages: so this is
placed at every code path that can reach kvm_mmu_alloc_page().
Although it might have some sense to spread this function in each such
code path when it could be called before taking mmu_lock, the rule was
changed not to do so.
Taking this background into account, this patch moves it into
kvm_mmu_alloc_page() and simplifies the code.
Note: the unlikely hint in kvm_mmu_free_some_pages() guarantees that the
overhead of this function is almost zero except when we actually need to
allocate some shadow pages, so we do not need to care about calling it
multiple times in one path by doing kvm_mmu_get_page() a few times.

not tracked when two guest ptes point to the same large page. Note, it
