<id>urn:sha1:837f66c71207542283831d0762c5dca3db5b397a</id>
<content type='text'>
Allow the capacity of the kvm_mmu_memory_cache struct to be chosen at
declaration time rather than being fixed for all declarations. This will
be used in a follow-up commit to declare an cache in x86 with a capacity
of 512+ objects without having to increase the capacity of all caches in
KVM.

This change requires each cache now specify its capacity at runtime,
since the cache struct itself no longer has a fixed capacity known at
compile time. To protect against someone accidentally defining a
kvm_mmu_memory_cache struct directly (without the extra storage), this
commit includes a WARN_ON() in kvm_mmu_topup_memory_cache().

In order to support different capacities, this commit changes the
objects pointer array to be dynamically allocated the first time the
cache is topped-up.

While here, opportunistically clean up the stack-allocated
kvm_mmu_memory_cache structs in riscv and arm64 to use designated
initializers.

No functional change intended.

<title>KVM: Do not zero initialize 'pfn' in hva_to_pfn()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:943dfea8f166d62657057170dbe8667ec96247ca</id>
<content type='text'>
Drop the unnecessary initialization of the local 'pfn' variable in
hva_to_pfn().  First and foremost, '0' is not an invalid pfn, it's a
perfectly valid pfn on most architectures.  I.e. if hva_to_pfn() were to
return an "uninitializd" pfn, it would actually be interpeted as a legal
pfn by most callers.

Second, hva_to_pfn() can't return an uninitialized pfn as hva_to_pfn()
explicitly sets pfn to an error value (or returns an error value directly)
if a helper returns failure, and all helpers set the pfn on success.

The zeroing of 'pfn' was introduced by commit 2fc843117d64 ("KVM:
reorganize hva_to_pfn"), probably to avoid "uninitialized variable"
warnings on statements that return pfn.  However, no compiler seems
to produce them, making the initialization unnecessary.

<id>urn:sha1:b14b2690c50e02145bb867dfcde8845eb17aa8a4</id>
<content type='text'>
Rename and refactor kvm_is_reserved_pfn() to kvm_pfn_to_refcounted_page()
to better reflect what KVM is actually checking, and to eliminate extra
pfn_to_page() lookups.  The kvm_release_pfn_*() an kvm_try_get_pfn()
helpers in particular benefit from "refouncted" nomenclature, as it's not
all that obvious why KVM needs to get/put refcounts for some PG_reserved
pages (ZERO_PAGE and ZONE_DEVICE).

Add a comment to call out that the list of exceptions to PG_reserved is
all but guaranteed to be incomplete.  The list has mostly been compiled
by people throwing noodles at KVM and finding out they stick a little too
well, e.g. the ZERO_PAGE's refcount overflowed and ZONE_DEVICE pages
didn't get freed.

No functional change intended.

<title>KVM: Take a 'struct page', not a pfn in kvm_is_zone_device_page()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:284dc49307738d2a897fd375431f741213cd0f27</id>
<content type='text'>
Operate on a 'struct page' instead of a pfn when checking if a page is a
ZONE_DEVICE page, and rename the helper accordingly.  Generally speaking,
KVM doesn't actually care about ZONE_DEVICE memory, i.e. shouldn't do
anything special for ZONE_DEVICE memory.  Rather, KVM wants to treat
ZONE_DEVICE memory like regular memory, and the need to identify
ZONE_DEVICE memory only arises as an exception to PG_reserved pages. In
other words, KVM should only ever check for ZONE_DEVICE memory after KVM
has already verified that there is a struct page associated with the pfn.

No functional change intended.

<title>KVM: Remove kvm_vcpu_gfn_to_page() and kvm_vcpu_gpa_to_page()</title>

<content type='text'>
Drop helpers to convert a gfn/gpa to a 'struct page' in the context of a
vCPU.  KVM doesn't require that guests be backed by 'struct page' memory,
thus any use of helpers that assume 'struct page' is bound to be flawed,
as was the case for the recently removed last user in x86's nested VMX.

No functional change intended.

<title>KVM: Don't WARN if kvm_pfn_to_page() encounters a "reserved" pfn</title>

Drop a WARN_ON() if kvm_pfn_to_page() encounters a "reserved" pfn, which
in this context means a struct page that has PG_reserved but is not a/the
ZERO_PAGE and is not a ZONE_DEVICE page.  The usage, via gfn_to_page(),
in x86 is safe as gfn_to_page() is used only to retrieve a page from
KVM-controlled memslot, but the usage in PPC and s390 operates on
arbitrary gfns and thus memslots that can be backed by incompatible
memory.

<title>KVM: Avoid pfn_to_page() and vice versa when releasing pages</title>

<content type='text'>
Invert the order of KVM's page/pfn release helpers so that the "inner"
helper operates on a page instead of a pfn.  As pointed out by Linus[*],
converting between struct page and a pfn isn't necessarily cheap, and
that's not even counting the overhead of is_error_noslot_pfn() and
kvm_is_reserved_pfn().  Even if the checks were dirt cheap, there's no
reason to convert from a page to a pfn and back to a page, just to mark
the page dirty/accessed or to put a reference to the page.

Opportunistically drop a stale declaration of kvm_set_page_accessed()
from kvm_host.h (there was no implementation).

No functional change intended.

<title>KVM: Don't set Accessed/Dirty bits for ZERO_PAGE</title>

<content type='text'>
Don't set Accessed/Dirty bits for a struct page with PG_reserved set,
i.e. don't set A/D bits for the ZERO_PAGE.  The ZERO_PAGE (or pages
depending on the architecture) should obviously never be written, and
similarly there's no point in marking it accessed as the page will never
be swapped out or reclaimed.  The comment in page-flags.h is quite clear
that PG_reserved pages should be managed only by their owner, and
strictly following that mandate also simplifies KVM's logic.

Remove a check from kvm_release_pfn() to bail if the provided @pfn is
zero.  Zero is a perfectly valid pfn on most architectures, and should
not be used to indicate an error or an invalid pfn.  The bogus check was
added by commit 917248144db5 ("x86/kvm: Cache gfn to pfn translation"),
which also did the bad thing of zeroing the pfn and gfn to mark a cache
invalid.  Thankfully, that bad behavior was axed by commit 357a18ad230f
("KVM: Kill kvm_map_gfn() / kvm_unmap_gfn() and gfn_to_pfn_cache").
