Subject[RFC 00/19] KVM: x86/mmu: Optimize disabling dirty logging
From
Currently disabling dirty logging with the TDP MMU is extremely slow.
On a 96 vCPU / 96G VM it takes ~45 seconds to disable dirty logging
with the TDP MMU, as opposed to ~3.5 seconds with the legacy MMU. This
series optimizes TLB flushes and introduces in-place large page
promotion, to bring the disable dirty log time down to ~2 seconds.

Testing:
Ran KVM selftests and kvm-unit-tests on an Intel Skylake. This
series introduced no new failures.

Performance:
To collect these results I needed to apply Mingwei's patch
"selftests: KVM: align guest physical memory base address to 1GB"
https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/8/29/310
David Matlack is going to send out an updated version of that patch soon.

Without this series, TDP MMU:

Patch breakdown:
Patch 1 is a fix for a bug in the way the TBP MMU issues TLB flushes
Patches 2-5 eliminate many unnecessary TLB flushes through better batching
Patches 6-12 remove the need for a vCPU pointer to make_spte
Patches 13-18 are small refactors in perparation for patch 19
Patch 19 implements in-place largepage promotion when disabling dirty logging
