KVM: MIPS: GVA/GPA page tables, dirty logging, SYNC_MMU etc
Numerous MIPS KVM fixes, improvements, and features for 4.11, many of which continue to pave the way for VZ support, the most interesting of which are: - Add GVA->HPA page tables for T&E, to cache GVA mappings. - Generate fast-path TLB refill exception handler which loads host TLB entries from GVA page table, avoiding repeated guest memory translation and guest TLB lookups. - Use uaccess macros when T&E needs to access guest memory, which with GVA page tables and the Linux TLB refill handler improves robustness against TLB faults and fixes EVA hosts. - Use BadInstr/BadInstrP registers when available to obtain instruction encodings after a synchronous trap. - Add GPA->HPA page tables to replace the inflexible linear array, allowing for multiple sparsely arranged memory regions. - Properly implement dirty page logging. - Add KVM_CAP_SYNC_MMU support so that changes in GPA mappings become effective in guests even if they are already running, allowing for copy-on-write, KSM, idle page tracking, swapping, and guest memory ballooning. - Add KVM_CAP_READONLY_MEM support, so writes to specified memory regions are treated as MMIO. - Implement proper CP0_EBase support in T&E. - Expose a few more missing CP0 registers to userland. - Add KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS and KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS support, and allow up to 8 VCPUs to be created in a VM. - Various cleanups and dropping of dead and duplicated code. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAABCAAGBQJYlKZeAAoJEGwLaZPeOHZ6ghsQAL4HRU32rA6XKE6gKgRiIPYC n8iHv2EuUCSKnZyM1a9o1QdJU02bBBB5TPYw+NUsqNClaiRLHsaNZR0TSze4gmcF NVdnEIOmKluSPnbSXNstqpihJ/p6vzJuh+2eh/EpRuyunzmQ01B6ffjUalKzPtBx EfgFv1mBnteqLgYZwlJQwj8ogX+Y92TrfdzzazJAom6MFx/lMnigPnUeiaXEG8u6 VrOr/c6Q6lMz4Yfh0xyskJWN4B4zI6PW8/G3SKvKhl8YIRQdtFAv1OfFPaSbdTko ZdEsFO9UOr0KQu13f10pHAdwRruF7OMQ+3nRDYttdYKzWUYC6pTm77yOG/3+MNdv KALwaQqJBglaShjuzM8WBI09sDeKgaJ8LYZOttm9Mb+ltwfKsJZPDvba67Kv5266 jkzroKuZeQC6SvAHAlQ7qKgdQr1wrqF3WwjNMmeqNR4Fiw2C3ni/8N39MY/qi7RX NXQv/fJ6XqM37RC0XMlyu5O+zVWPf0IZ0VdCcl3kkqbvCyXq8B8u6dC+L9+wGb5r 07ZMwnYC93CFeYfrjHu/GsqKqONfAL5Pz13Y/YUlgX0phaLB+yrkq70cFLB4sA8K KgBwDuD0Qbmdvtcd97qFvp96GMuspIcOkMEiqbD/XrblYnYddehP81Aojdw/GDdp C62jTny1c/n95ylfbpkC =lMjW -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
