I have a slight preference for:

asm volatile ("rep stosq\n\t"
<align here>
);

so that searching for "asm" or "asm volatile" shows the "rep stosq" in the
result without needed to capture the next line.

Rather than put the #ifdef here, split mmu_topup_shadow_page_cache() on 64-bit
versus 32-bit. Then this BUG() goes away and we don't get slapped on the wrist
by Linus :-)

Bailing immediately is wrong. If kvm_mmu_topup_memory_cache() fails after allocating
at least one page, then KVM needs to initialize those pages, otherwise it will leave
uninitialized pages in the cache. If userspace frees up memory in response to the
-ENOMEM and resumes the vCPU, KVM will consume uninitialized data.

So I'm pretty sure I effectively suggested keeping shadow_nonpresent_value, but
seeing it in code, I really don't like it. It's an unnecessary check on every
SPT allocation, and it's misleading because it suggests shadow_nonpresent_value
might be zero when the TDP MMU is enabled.

My vote is to drop shadow_nonpresent_value and then rename kvm_init_shadow_page()
to make it clear that it's specific to the TDP MMU.

So this? Completely untested.

#ifdef CONFIG_X86_64
static void kvm_init_tdp_mmu_shadow_page(void *page)
{
int ign;

asm volatile ("rep stosq\n\t"
: "=c"(ign), "=D"(page)
: "a"(SHADOW_NONPRESENT_VALUE), "c"(4096/8), "D"(page)
: "memory"
);
}

static int mmu_topup_shadow_page_cache(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu)
{
struct kvm_mmu_memory_cache *mc = &vcpu->arch.mmu_shadow_page_cache;
bool is_tdp_mmu = is_tdp_mmu_enabled(vcpu->kvm);
int start, end, i, r;

if (is_tdp_mmu)
start = kvm_mmu_memory_cache_nr_free_objects(mc);

r = kvm_mmu_topup_memory_cache(mc, PT64_ROOT_MAX_LEVEL);

/*
* Note, topup may have allocated objects even if it failed to allocate
* the minimum number of objects required to make forward progress _at
* this time_. Initialize newly allocated objects even on failure, as
* userspace can free memory and rerun the vCPU in response to -ENOMEM.
*/
if (is_tdp_mmu) {
end = kvm_mmu_memory_cache_nr_free_objects(mc);
for (i = start; i < end; i++)
kvm_init_tdp_mmu_shadow_page(mc->objects[i]);
}
return r;
}
#else
static int mmu_topup_shadow_page_cache(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu)
{
return kvm_mmu_topup_memory_cache(vcpu->arch.mmu_shadow_page_cache,
PT64_ROOT_MAX_LEVEL);
}
#endif /* CONFIG_X86_64 */

Shared EPTEs need to be initialized with SUPPRESS_VE=1, otherwise not-present
EPT violations would be reflected into the guest by hardware as #VE exceptions.
This is handled by initializing page allocations via kvm_init_shadow_page() during
cache topup if shadow_nonpresent_value is non-zero. In that case, telling the
page allocation to zero-initialize the page would be wasted effort.

The initialization is harmless for S-EPT entries because KVM's copy of the S-EPT
isn't consumed by hardware, and because under the hood S-EPT entries should never
#VE (I forget if this is enforced by hardware or if the TDX module sets SUPPRESS_VE).
