Presently KVM only takes a read lock for stage 2 faults if it believes
the fault can be fixed by relaxing permissions on a PTE (write unprotect
for dirty logging). Otherwise, stage 2 faults grab the write lock, which
predictably can pile up all the vCPUs in a sufficiently large VM.

Like the TDP MMU for x86, this series loosens the locking around
manipulations of the stage 2 page tables to allow parallel faults. RCU
and atomics are exploited to safely build/destroy the stage 2 page
tables in light of multiple software observers.

Patches 1-2 are a cleanup to the way we collapse page tables, with the
added benefit of narrowing the window of time a range of memory is
unmapped.

Patches 3-7 are minor cleanups and refactorings to the way KVM reads
PTEs and traverses the stage 2 page tables to make it amenable to
concurrent modification.

Patches 8-9 use RCU to punt page table cleanup out of the vCPU fault
path, which should also improve fault latency a bit.

Patches 10-14 implement the meat of this series, extending the
'break-before-make' sequence with atomics to realize locking on PTEs.
Effectively a cmpxchg() is used to 'break' a PTE, thereby serializing
changes to a given PTE.

Finally, patch 15 flips the switch on all the new code and starts
grabbing the read side of the MMU lock for stage 2 faults.

Applies to 6.0-rc3. Tested with KVM selftests and benchmarked with
dirty_log_perf_test, scaling from 1 to 48 vCPUs with 4GB of memory per
vCPU backed by THP.

  ./dirty_log_perf_test -s anonymous_thp -m 2 -b 4G -v ${NR_VCPUS}

Time to dirty memory:

        +-------+---------+------------------+
        | vCPUs | 6.0-rc3 | 6.0-rc3 + series |
        +-------+---------+------------------+
        |     1 | 0.89s   | 0.92s            |
        |     2 | 1.13s   | 1.18s            |
        |     4 | 2.42s   | 1.25s            |
        |     8 | 5.03s   | 1.36s            |
        |    16 | 8.84s   | 2.09s            |
        |    32 | 19.60s  | 4.47s            |
        |    48 | 31.39s  | 6.22s            |
        +-------+---------+------------------+

It is also worth mentioning that the time to populate memory has
improved:

        +-------+---------+------------------+
        | vCPUs | 6.0-rc3 | 6.0-rc3 + series |
        +-------+---------+------------------+
        |     1 | 0.19s   | 0.18s            |
        |     2 | 0.25s   | 0.21s            |
        |     4 | 0.38s   | 0.32s            |
        |     8 | 0.64s   | 0.40s            |
        |    16 | 1.22s   | 0.54s            |
        |    32 | 2.50s   | 1.03s            |
        |    48 | 3.88s   | 1.52s            |
        +-------+---------+------------------+

RFC: https://lore.kernel.org/kvmarm/20220415215901.1737897-1-oupton@google.com/

RFC -> v1:
 - Factored out page table teardown from kvm_pgtable_stage2_map()
 - Use the RCU callback to tear down a subtree, instead of scheduling a
   callback for every individual table page.
 - Reorganized series to (hopefully) avoid intermediate breakage.
 - Dropped the use of page headers, instead stuffing KVM metadata into
   page::private directly
