While we sync many unsync sp at one time(in mmu_sync_children()),
we may mapping the spte writable, it's dangerous, if one unsync
sp's mapping gfn is another unsync page's gfn.

For example:

SP1.pte[0] = P
SP2.gfn's pfn = P
[SP1.pte[0] = SP2.gfn's pfn]

First, we write protected SP1 and SP2, but SP1 and SP2 are still the
unsync sp.

Then, sync SP1 first, it will detect SP1.pte[0].gfn only has one unsync-sp,
that is SP2, so it will mapping it writable, but we plan to sync SP2 soon,
at this point, the SP2->unsync is not reliable since later we sync SP2 but
SP2->gfn is already writable.

So the final result is: SP2 is the sync page but SP2.gfn is writable.

This bug will corrupt guest's page table, fixed by mark read-only mapping
if the mapped gfn has shadow pages.

In no-direct mapping, we mark sp is 'direct' when we mapping the
guest's larger page, but its access is encoded form upper page-struct
entire not include the last mapping, it will cause access conflict.

For example, have this mapping:
        [W] 
      / PDE1 -> |---|
  P[W]          |   | LPA
      \ PDE2 -> |---|
        [R]

P have two children, PDE1 and PDE2, both PDE1 and PDE2 mapping the
same lage page(LPA). The P's access is WR, PDE1's access is WR,
PDE2's access is RO(just consider read-write permissions here)

When guest access PDE1, we will create a direct sp for LPA, the sp's
access is from P, is W, then we will mark the ptes is W in this sp.

Then, guest access PDE2, we will find LPA's shadow page, is the same as
PDE's, and mark the ptes is RO.

So, if guest access PDE1, the incorrect #PF is occured.

Fixed by encode the last mapping access into direct shadow page

If the mapping is writable but the dirty flag is not set, we will find
the read-only direct sp and setup the mapping, then if the write #PF
occur, we will mark this mapping writable in the read-only direct sp,
now, other real read-only mapping will happily write it without #PF.

It may hurt guest's COW

Fixed by re-install the mapping when write #PF occur.

Support prefetch ptes when intercept guest #PF, avoid to #PF by later
access

If we meet any failure in the prefetch path, we will exit it and
not try other ptes to avoid become heavy path

Note: this speculative will mark page become dirty but it not really
accessed, the same issue is in other speculative paths like invlpg,
pte write, fortunately, it just affect host memory management. After
Avi's patchset named "[PATCH v2 1/4] KVM: MMU: Introduce drop_spte()"
merged, we will easily fix it. Will do it in the future.

This will skip the check for the sp at level 1 when emulating 1GB pages
with 4k host pages (where there are direct sp's at level 2 and 1).

Why can't you use gfn_to_pfn_atomic() here, one page at a time? Is 
the overhead significant that this is worthwhile?

You're bypassing the centralized interface.

reset_host_protection should be true, see commit 1403283acca (also for
direct case to be consistent).

Marcelo,

I think the patch is right.

Every level's direct sp has the same access in the mapping since while we setup the
mapping we find the direct sp with the same access.
(Note: we have encode the D bit to the sp->role.access)

Consider guest 1G writable clean pages and host 4K pages, the shadow pages mapping
is like this:

indirect L4 --> indirect L3 --> direct ReadOnly L2 --> direct ReadOnly L1

When change guest pte to dirty, we update L3' spte and find the direct writable L2 sp,
assume it's A, then we can sure that A's children sps should also writable, the final
mapping is like this:

indirect L4 --> indirect L3 --> direct Writable L2 --> direct Writable L1.

So, i think we not broken anything in this patch :-)

I think it's worthwhile to do since we can reduce gup overhead, no reason
to traverse process's page table again and again for the consecutive pages.

Ah, i forgot it, thanks, Marcelo!

I'll post a small fix patch base on this patchset to change 'false' to 'true' if no
other places no to be improved. :-)

I'd prefer to use gfn_to_pfn_atomic. The big win is with shadow mode and
there its already done one at a time.

Then we should make the centralized interface work in terms of multiple 
pages, and write the single-page interfaces in terms of the multipage 
interfaces.
