mmu_try_to_unsync_pages checks if page tracking is active for the given
gfn, which requires knowing the memslot. We can pass down the memslot
via make_spte to avoid this lookup.
The memslot is also handy for make_spte's marking of the gfn as dirty:
we can test whether dirty page tracking is enabled, and if so ensure that
pages are mapped as writable with 4K granularity. Apart from the warning,
no functional change is intended.

mmu_set_spte is called for either PTE prefetching or page faults. The
three boolean arguments write_fault, speculative and host_writable are
always respectively false/true/true for prefetching and coming from
a struct kvm_page_fault for page faults.
Let mmu_set_spte distinguish these two situation by accepting a
possibly NULL struct kvm_page_fault argument.

The level and A/D bit support of the new SPTE can be found in the role,
which is stored in the kvm_mmu_page struct. This merges two arguments
into one.
For the TDP MMU, the kvm_mmu_page was not used (kvm_tdp_mmu_map does
not use it if the SPTE is already present) so we fetch it just before
calling make_spte.

The memslot for the faulting gfn is used throughout the page fault
handling code, so capture it in kvm_page_fault as soon as we know the
gfn and use it in the page fault handling code that has direct access
to the kvm_page_fault struct. Replace various tests using is_noslot_pfn
with more direct tests on fault->slot being NULL.
This, in combination with the subsequent patch, improves "Populate
memory time" in dirty_log_perf_test by 5% when using the legacy MMU.
There is no discerable improvement to the performance of the TDP MMU.

This simplifies set_spte, which we want to remove, and unifies code
between the shadow MMU and the TDP MMU. The warning will be added
back later to make_spte as well.
There is a small disadvantage in the TDP MMU; it may unnecessarily mark
a page as dirty twice if two vCPUs end up mapping the same page twice.
However, this is a very small cost for a case that is already rare.

WARN and bail if the shadow walk for faulting in a SPTE terminates early,
i.e. doesn't reach the expected level because the walk encountered a
terminal SPTE. The shadow walks for page faults are subtle in that they
install non-leaf SPTEs (zapping leaf SPTEs if necessary!) in the loop
body, and consume the newly created non-leaf SPTE in the loop control,
e.g. __shadow_walk_next(). In other words, the walks guarantee that the
walk will stop if and only if the target level is reached by installing
non-leaf SPTEs to guarantee the walk remains valid.
Opportunistically use fault->goal-level instead of it.level in
FNAME(fetch) to further clarify that KVM always installs the leaf SPTE at
the target level.

So far, the loop bodies already ensure the PTE is present before calling
__shadow_walk_next(): Some loop bodies simply exit with a !PRESENT
directly and some other loop bodies, i.e. FNAME(fetch) and __direct_map()
do not currently guard their walks with is_shadow_present_pte, but only
because they install present non-leaf SPTEs in the loop itself.
But checking pte present in __shadow_walk_next() (which is called from
shadow_walk_okay()) is more prudent; walking past a !PRESENT SPTE
would lead to attempting to read a the next level SPTE from a garbage
iter->shadow_addr. It also allows to remove the is_shadow_present_pte()
checks from the loop bodies.

Commit adc2a23734 ("KVM: nSVM: improve SYSENTER emulation on AMD"),
made init_vmcb set vmload/vmsave intercepts unconditionally,
and relied on svm_vcpu_after_set_cpuid to clear them when possible.
However init_vmcb is also called when the vCPU is reset, and it is
not followed by another call to svm_vcpu_after_set_cpuid because
the CPUID is already set. This mistake makes the VMSAVE/VMLOAD intercept
to be set when it is not needed, and harms performance of the nested
guest.
Extract the relevant parts of svm_vcpu_after_set_cpuid so that they
can be called again on reset.

All of the irqfds would to be updated when update the irq
routing, it's too expensive if there're too many irqfds.
However we can reduce the cost by avoid some unnecessary
updates. For irqs of MSI type on X86, the update can be
saved if the msi values are not change.
The vfio migration could receives benefit from this optimi-
zaiton. The test VM has 128 vcpus and 8 VF (with 65 vectors
enabled), so the VM has more than 520 irqfds. We mesure the
cost of the vfio_msix_enable (in QEMU, it would set routing
for each irqfd) for each VF, and we can see the total cost
can be significantly reduced.

After any shadow page modification, flushing tlb only on current VCPU
is weird due to other VCPU's tlb might still be stale.
In other words, if there is any mandatory tlb-flushing after shadow page
modification, SET_SPTE_NEED_REMOTE_TLB_FLUSH or remote_flush should be
set and the tlbs of all VCPUs should be flushed. There is not point to
only flush current tlb except when the request is from vCPU's or pCPU's
activities.
If there was any bug that mandatory tlb-flushing is required and
SET_SPTE_NEED_REMOTE_TLB_FLUSH/remote_flush is failed to set, this patch
would expose the bug in a more destructive way. The related code paths
are checked and no missing SET_SPTE_NEED_REMOTE_TLB_FLUSH is found yet.
Currently, there is no optional tlb-flushing after sync page related code
is changed to flush tlb timely. So we can just remove these local flushing
code.

Make a final call to direct_pte_prefetch_many() if there are "trailing"
SPTEs to prefetch, i.e. SPTEs for GFNs following the faulting GFN. The
call to direct_pte_prefetch_many() in the loop only handles the case
where there are !PRESENT SPTEs preceding a PRESENT SPTE.
E.g. if the faulting GFN is a multiple of 8 (the prefetch size) and all
SPTEs for the following GFNs are !PRESENT, the loop will terminate with
"start = sptep+1" and not prefetch any SPTEs.
Prefetching trailing SPTEs as intended can drastically reduce the number
of guest page faults, e.g. accessing the first byte of every 4kb page in
a 6gb chunk of virtual memory, in a VM with 8gb of preallocated memory,
the number of pf_fixed events observed in L0 drops from ~1.75M to <0.27M.
Note, this only affects memory that is backed by 4kb pages as KVM doesn't
prefetch when installing hugepages. Shadow paging prefetching is not
affected as it does not batch the prefetches due to the need to process
the corresponding guest PTE. The TDP MMU is not affected because it
doesn't have prefetching, yet...
