Instead of branchy code depending on level, gpte.ps, and mmu configuration, prepare everything in a bitmap during mode changes and look it up during runtime. Reviewed-by: NXiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

The page table walk is coded as an infinite loop, with a special case on the last pte. Code it as an ordinary loop with a termination condition on the last pte (large page or walk length exhausted), and put the last pte handling code after the loop where it belongs.

walk_addr_generic() permission checks are a maze of branchy code, which is performed four times per lookup. It depends on the type of access, efer.nxe, cr0.wp, cr4.smep, and in the near future, cr4.smap. Optimize this away by precalculating all variants and storing them in a bitmap. The bitmap is recalculated when rarely-changing variables change (cr0, cr4) and is indexed by the often-changing variables (page fault error code, pte access permissions). The permission check is moved to the end of the loop, otherwise an SMEP fault could be reported as a false positive, when PDE.U=1 but PTE.U=0. Noted by Xiao Guangrong. The result is short, branch-free code. Reviewed-by: NXiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

While unspecified, the behaviour of Intel processors is to first perform the page table walk, then, if the walk was successful, to atomically update the accessed and dirty bits of walked paging elements. While we are not required to follow this exactly, doing so will allow us to perform the access permissions check after the walk is complete, rather than after each walk step. (the tricky case is SMEP: a zero in any pte's U bit makes the referenced page a supervisor page, so we can't fault on a one bit during the walk itself).

gpte_access() computes the access permissions of a guest pte and also write-protects clean gptes. This is wrong when we are servicing a write fault (since we'll be setting the dirty bit momentarily) but correct when instantiating a speculative spte, or when servicing a read fault (since we'll want to trap a following write in order to set the dirty bit). It doesn't seem to hurt in practice, but in order to make the code readable, push the write protection out of gpte_access() and into a new protect_clean_gpte() which is called explicitly when needed.

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 Signed-off-by: NXiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

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.

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.

When we optimized walk_addr_generic() by not using the generic guest memory reader, we replaced copy_from_user() with get_user(): commit e30d2a170506830d5eef5e9d7990c5aedf1b0a51 KVM: MMU: Optimize guest page table walk commit 15e2ac9a43d4d7d08088e404fddf2533a8e7d52e KVM: MMU: Fix 64-bit paging breakage on x86_32 But as Andi pointed out later, copy_from_user() does the same as get_user() as long as we give a constant size to it. So we use copy_from_user() to clean up the code. The only, noticeable, regression introduced by this is 64-bit gpte reading on x86_32 hosts needed for PAE guests. But this can be mitigated by implementing 8-byte get_user() for x86_32, if needed. Signed-off-by: NTakuya Yoshikawa <yoshikawa.takuya@oss.ntt.co.jp> Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

walk_addr_generic() is a hot path and is also hard for the cpu to predict - some of the parameters (fetch_fault in particular) vary wildly from invocation to invocation. Add unlikely() annotations where appropriate; all walk failures are considered unlikely, as are cases where we have to mark the accessed or dirty bit, as they are slow paths both in kvm and on real processors.
