Merge branch kvm-arm64/eager-page-splitting into kvmarm/next
* kvm-arm64/eager-page-splitting:
: Eager Page Splitting, courtesy of Ricardo Koller.
:
: Dirty logging performance is dominated by the cost of splitting
: hugepages to PTE granularity. On systems that mere mortals can get their
: hands on, each fault incurs the cost of a full break-before-make
: pattern, wherein the broadcast invalidation and ensuing serialization
: significantly increases fault latency.
:
: The goal of eager page splitting is to move the cost of hugepage
: splitting out of the stage-2 fault path and instead into the ioctls
: responsible for managing the dirty log:
:
: - If manual protection is enabled for the VM, hugepage splitting
: happens in the KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG ioctl. This is desirable as it
: provides userspace granular control over hugepage splitting.
:
: - Otherwise, if userspace relies on the legacy dirty log behavior
: (clear on collection), hugepage splitting is done at the moment dirty
: logging is enabled for a particular memslot.
:
: Support for eager page splitting requires explicit opt-in from
: userspace, which is realized through the
: KVM_CAP_ARM_EAGER_SPLIT_CHUNK_SIZE capability.
