The VCPU isn't expected to be runnable when the dirty ring becomes soft
full, until the dirty pages are harvested and the dirty ring is reset
from userspace. So there is a check in each guest's entrace to see if
the dirty ring is soft full or not. The VCPU is stopped from running if
its dirty ring has been soft full. The similar check will be needed when
the feature is going to be supported on ARM64. As Marc Zyngier suggested,
a new event will avoid pointless overhead to check the size of the dirty
ring ('vcpu->kvm->dirty_ring_size') in each guest's entrance.
Add KVM_REQ_DIRTY_RING_SOFT_FULL. The event is raised when the dirty ring
becomes soft full in kvm_dirty_ring_push(). The event is only cleared in
the check, done in the newly added helper kvm_dirty_ring_check_request().
Since the VCPU is not runnable when the dirty ring becomes soft full, the
KVM_REQ_DIRTY_RING_SOFT_FULL event is always set to prevent the VCPU from
running until the dirty pages are harvested and the dirty ring is reset by
userspace.
kvm_dirty_ring_soft_full() becomes a private function with the newly added
helper kvm_dirty_ring_check_request(). The alignment for the various event
definitions in kvm_host.h is changed to tab character by the way. In order
to avoid using 'container_of()', the argument @ring is replaced by @vcpu
in kvm_dirty_ring_push().

The current implementation of the dirty ring has an implicit requirement
that stores to the dirty ring from userspace must be:
- be ordered with one another
- visible from another CPU executing a ring reset
While these implicit requirements work well for x86 (and any other
TSO-like architecture), they do not work for more relaxed architectures
such as arm64 where stores to different addresses can be freely
reordered, and loads from these addresses not observing writes from
another CPU unless the required barriers (or acquire/release semantics)
are used.
In order to start fixing this, upgrade the ring reset accesses:
- the kvm_dirty_gfn_harvested() helper now uses acquire semantics
so it is ordered after all previous writes, including that from
userspace
- the kvm_dirty_gfn_set_invalid() helper now uses release semantics
so that the next_slot and next_offset reads don't drift past
the entry invalidation
This is only a partial fix as the userspace side also need upgrading.

This can be used in two modes. There is an atomic mode where the cached
mapping is accessed while holding the rwlock, and a mode where the
physical address is used by a vCPU in guest mode.
For the latter case, an invalidation will wake the vCPU with the new
KVM_REQ_GPC_INVALIDATE, and the architecture will need to refresh any
caches it still needs to access before entering guest mode again.
Only one vCPU can be targeted by the wake requests; it's simple enough
to make it wake all vCPUs or even a mask but I don't see a use case for
that additional complexity right now.
Invalidation happens from the invalidate_range_start MMU notifier, which
needs to be able to sleep in order to wake the vCPU and wait for it.
This means that revalidation potentially needs to "wait" for the MMU
operation to complete and the invalidate_range_end notifier to be
invoked. Like the vCPU when it takes a page fault in that period, we
just spin — fixing that in a future patch by implementing an actual
*wait* may be another part of shaving this particularly hirsute yak.
As noted in the comments in the function itself, the only case where
the invalidate_range_start notifier is expected to be called *without*
being able to sleep is when the OOM reaper is killing the process. In
that case, we expect the vCPU threads already to have exited, and thus
there will be nothing to wake, and no reason to wait. So we clear the
KVM_REQUEST_WAIT bit and send the request anyway, then complain loudly
if there actually *was* anything to wake up.

The various kvm_write_guest() and mark_page_dirty() functions must only
ever be called in the context of an active vCPU, because if dirty ring
tracking is enabled it may simply oops when kvm_get_running_vcpu()
returns NULL for the vcpu and then kvm_dirty_ring_get() dereferences it.
This oops was reported by "butt3rflyh4ck" <butterflyhuangxx@gmail.com> in
https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/CAFcO6XOmoS7EacN_n6v4Txk7xL7iqRa2gABg3F7E3Naf5uG94g@mail.gmail.com/
That actual bug will be fixed under separate cover but this warning
should help to prevent new ones from being added.

Add a read / write lock to be used in place of the MMU spinlock on x86.
The rwlock will enable the TDP MMU to handle page faults, and other
operations in parallel in future commits.

This patch is heavily based on previous work from Lei Cao
<lei.cao@stratus.com> and Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>. [1]
KVM currently uses large bitmaps to track dirty memory. These bitmaps
are copied to userspace when userspace queries KVM for its dirty page
information. The use of bitmaps is mostly sufficient for live
migration, as large parts of memory are be dirtied from one log-dirty
pass to another. However, in a checkpointing system, the number of
dirty pages is small and in fact it is often bounded---the VM is
paused when it has dirtied a pre-defined number of pages. Traversing a
large, sparsely populated bitmap to find set bits is time-consuming,
as is copying the bitmap to user-space.
A similar issue will be there for live migration when the guest memory
is huge while the page dirty procedure is trivial. In that case for
each dirty sync we need to pull the whole dirty bitmap to userspace
and analyse every bit even if it's mostly zeros.
The preferred data structure for above scenarios is a dense list of
guest frame numbers (GFN). This patch series stores the dirty list in
kernel memory that can be memory mapped into userspace to allow speedy
harvesting.
This patch enables dirty ring for X86 only. However it should be
easily extended to other archs as well.
