But in function FNAME(fetch)(), sp->gfn is incorrect when one of following

And if guest use pse-36, "table_gfn = gpte_to_gfn(gw->ptes[level - delta]);"

2) guest is long mode paging and the guest PDPTE maps a 1-GByte page

So we fix it to suit to the document and suit to the code which
requires sp->gfn correct when sp->role.direct=1.
We use the goal mapping gfn(gw->gfn) to calculate the base page frame

Obviously, it is not essential information, we can calculate it when need.
It means we don't need sp->gfns when sp->role.direct=1,
Thus we can save one page usage for every kvm_mmu_page.

In common cases, guest SRAO MCE will cause corresponding poisoned page
be un-mapped and SIGBUS be sent to QEMU-KVM, then QEMU-KVM will relay
the MCE to guest OS.
But it is reported that if the poisoned page is accessed in guest
after unmapping and before MCE is relayed to guest OS, userspace will
be killed.
The reason is as follows. Because poisoned page has been un-mapped,
guest access will cause guest exit and kvm_mmu_page_fault will be
called. kvm_mmu_page_fault can not get the poisoned page for fault
address, so kernel and user space MMIO processing is tried in turn. In
user MMIO processing, poisoned page is accessed again, then userspace
is killed by force_sig_info.
To fix the bug, kvm_mmu_page_fault send HWPOISON signal to QEMU-KVM
and do not try kernel and user space MMIO processing for poisoned
page.

Commit fb341f57 removed the pte prefetch on guest invlpg, citing guest races.
However, the SDM is adamant that prefetch is allowed:
"The processor may create entries in paging-structure caches for
translations required for prefetches and for accesses that are a
result of speculative execution that would never actually occur
in the executed code path."
And, in fact, there was a race in the prefetch code: we picked up the pte
without the mmu lock held, so an older invlpg could install the pte over
a newer invlpg.
Reinstate the prefetch logic, but this time note whether another invlpg has
executed using a counter. If a race occured, do not install the pte.

The invlpg prefault optimization breaks Windows 2008 R2 occasionally.
The visible effect is that the invlpg handler instantiates a pte which

The OS could have other mechanisms to prevent a present translation from
being used, which the hypervisor is unaware of.

When kvm emulates an invlpg instruction, it can drop a shadow pte, but

Without this the other cpu can still write to a freed host physical page.
tlb smp flush must happen if rmap_remove is called always before mmu_lock
is released because the VM will take the mmu_lock before it can finally add
the page to the freelist after swapout. mmu notifier makes it safe to flush
the tlb after freeing the page (otherwise it would never be safe) so we can do

Synchronize changes to host virtual addresses which are part of
a KVM memory slot to the KVM shadow mmu. This allows pte operations
like swapping, page migration, and madvise() to transparently work
with KVM.

This patch introduces a gfn_to_pfn() function and corresponding functions like
kvm_release_pfn_dirty(). Using these new functions, we can modify the x86
MMU to no longer assume that it can always get a struct page for any given gfn.
We don't want to eliminate gfn_to_page() entirely because a number of places
assume they can do gfn_to_page() and then kmap() the results. When we support
IO memory, gfn_to_page() will fail for IO pages although gfn_to_pfn() will
succeed.
This does not implement support for avoiding reference counting for reserved
RAM or for IO memory. However, it should make those things pretty straight
forward.
Since we're only introducing new common symbols, I don't think it will break
the non-x86 architectures but I haven't tested those. I've tested Intel,
AMD, NPT, and hugetlbfs with Windows and Linux guests.

Unify slots_lock acquision around vcpu_run(). This is simpler and less
error-prone.
Also fix some callsites that were not grabbing the lock properly.

If we populate a shadow pte due to a fault (and not speculatively due to a
pte write) then we can set the accessed bit on it, as we know it will be
set immediately on the next guest instruction. This saves a read-modify-write
operation.

Create large pages mappings if the guest PTE's are marked as such and
the underlying memory is hugetlbfs backed. If the largepage contains
write-protected pages, a large pte is not used.
Gives a consistent 2% improvement for data copies on ram mounted
filesystem, without NPT/EPT.
Anthony measures a 4% improvement on 4-way kernbench, with NPT.

Currently an mmio guest pte is encoded in the shadow pagetable as a
not-present trapping pte, with the SHADOW_IO_MARK bit set. However
nothing is ever done with this information, so maintaining it is a
useless complication.
This patch moves the check for mmio to before shadow ptes are instantiated,
so the shadow code is never invoked for ptes that reference mmio. The code
is simpler, and with future work, can be made to handle mmio concurrently.

A guest partial guest pte write will leave shadow_trap_nonpresent_pte
in spte, which generates a vmexit at the next guest access through that pte.
This patch improves this by reading the full guest pte in advance and thus
being able to update the spte and eliminate the vmexit.
This helps pae guests which use two 32-bit writes to set a single 64-bit pte.
