Subject[PATCH V2 0/7] KVM: X86/MMU: Use one-off special shadow page for special roots
Date
From: Lai Jiangshan <jiangshan.ljs@antgroup.com>

Current code uses mmu->pae_root, mmu->pml4_root, and mmu->pml5_root to
setup special roots. The initialization code is complex and the roots
are not associated with struct kvm_mmu_page which causes the code more
complex.

So add new special shadow pages to simplify it.

The special shadow pages are associated with struct kvm_mmu_page and
VCPU-local.

The special shadow pages are created and freed when the roots are
changed (or one-off) which can be optimized but not in the patchset
since the re-creating is light way (in normal case only the struct
kvm_mmu_page needs to be re-allocated and sp->spt doens't, because
it is likely to be mmu->pae_root)

Changed from v1:
Rebase to newest kvm/queue. Slightly update patch4.
