We have PTE_LIST_EXT + 1 pointers in this structure and these 40/20
bytes do not fit cache lines well.  Furthermore, some allocators may
use 64/32-byte objects for the pte_list_desc cache.

This patch solves this problem by changing PTE_LIST_EXT from 4 to 3.

For shadow paging, the new size is still large enough to hold both the
kernel and process mappings for usual anonymous pages.  For file
mappings, there may be a slight change in the cache usage.

Note: with EPT/NPT we almost always have a single spte in each reverse
mapping and we will not see any change by this.

Dropped such mappings when we enabled dirty logging and we will never
create new ones until we stop the logging.

For this we introduce a new function which can be used to write protect
a range of PT level pages: although we do not need to care about a range
of pages at this point, the following patch will need this feature to
optimize the write protection of many pages.

Currently, write protecting a slot needs to walk all the shadow pages
and checks ones which have a pte mapping a page in it.

The walk is overly heavy when dirty pages in that slot are not so many
and checking the shadow pages would result in unwanted cache pollution.

To mitigate this problem, we use rmap_write_protect() and check only
the sptes which can be reached from gfns marked in the dirty bitmap
when the number of dirty pages are less than that of shadow pages.

This criterion is reasonable in its meaning and worked well in our test:
write protection became some times faster than before when the ratio of
dirty pages are low and was not worse even when the ratio was near the
criterion.

Note that the locking for this write protection becomes fine grained.
The reason why this is safe is descripted in the comments.

rmap_write_protect() calls gfn_to_rmap() for each level with gfn fixed.
This results in calling gfn_to_memslot() repeatedly with that gfn.

This patch introduces __gfn_to_rmap() which takes the slot as an
argument to avoid this.

This is also needed for the following dirty logging optimization.

Detecting write-flooding does not work well, when we handle page written, if
the last speculative spte is not accessed, we treat the page is
write-flooding, however, we can speculative spte on many path, such as pte
prefetch, page synced, that means the last speculative spte may be not point
to the written page and the written page can be accessed via other sptes, so
depends on the Accessed bit of the last speculative spte is not enough

Instead of detected page accessed, we can detect whether the spte is accessed
after it is written, if the spte is not accessed but it is written frequently,
we treat is not a page table or it not used for a long time

Architecturally, PDPTEs are cached in the PDPTRs when CR3 is reloaded.
On SVM, it is not possible to implement this, but on VMX this is possible
and was indeed implemented until nested SVM changed this to unconditionally
read PDPTEs dynamically.  This has noticable impact when running PAE guests.

Fix by changing the MMU to read PDPTRs from the cache, falling back to
reading from memory for the nested MMU.

Add tracepoints to trace mmio page fault
Signed-off-by: NXiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@cn.fujitsu.com>
Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

The idea is from Avi:

| We could cache the result of a miss in an spte by using a reserved bit, and
| checking the page fault error code (or seeing if we get an ept violation or
| ept misconfiguration), so if we get repeated mmio on a page, we don't need to
| search the slot list/tree.
| (https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/22/221)

When the page fault is caused by mmio, we cache the info in the shadow page
table, and also set the reserved bits in the shadow page table, so if the mmio
is caused again, we can quickly identify it and emulate it directly

Searching mmio gfn in memslots is heavy since we need to walk all memeslots, it
can be reduced by this feature, and also avoid walking guest page table for
soft mmu.
