Keep track of accessed/dirty bits; if they are all set, do not enter the accessed/dirty update loop. Reviewed-by:

'eperm' is no longer used in the walker loop, so we can eliminate it. Reviewed-by:

Instead of branchy code depending on level, gpte.ps, and mmu configuration, prepare everything in a bitmap during mode changes and look it up during runtime. Reviewed-by:

The page table walk is coded as an infinite loop, with a special case on the last pte. Code it as an ordinary loop with a termination condition on the last pte (large page or walk length exhausted), and put the last pte handling code after the loop where it belongs. Reviewed-by:

walk_addr_generic() permission checks are a maze of branchy code, which is performed four times per lookup. It depends on the type of access, efer.nxe, cr0.wp, cr4.smep, and in the near future, cr4.smap. Optimize this away by precalculating all variants and storing them in a bitmap. The bitmap is recalculated when rarely-changing variables change (cr0, cr4) and is indexed by the often-changing variables (page fault error code, pte access permissions). The permission check is moved to the end of the loop, otherwise an SMEP fault could be reported as a false positive, when PDE.U=1 but PTE.U=0. Noted by Xiao Guangrong. The result is short, branch-free code. Reviewed-by:

While unspecified, the behaviour of Intel processors is to first perform the page table walk, then, if the walk was successful, to atomically update the accessed and dirty bits of walked paging elements. While we are not required to follow this exactly, doing so will allow us to perform the access permissions check after the walk is complete, rather than after each walk step. (the tricky case is SMEP: a zero in any pte's U bit makes the referenced page a supervisor page, so we can't fault on a one bit during the walk itself). Reviewed-by:

We no longer rely on paging_tmpl.h defines; so we can move the function to mmu.c. Rely on zero extension to 64 bits to get the correct nx behaviour. Reviewed-by:

If nx is disabled, then is gpte[63] is set we will hit a reserved bit set fault before checking permissions; so we can ignore the setting of efer.nxe. Reviewed-by:

gpte_access() computes the access permissions of a guest pte and also write-protects clean gptes. This is wrong when we are servicing a write fault (since we'll be setting the dirty bit momentarily) but correct when instantiating a speculative spte, or when servicing a read fault (since we'll want to trap a following write in order to set the dirty bit). It doesn't seem to hurt in practice, but in order to make the code readable, push the write protection out of gpte_access() and into a new protect_clean_gpte() which is called explicitly when needed.

vcpu mutex can be held for unlimited time so taking it with mutex_lock on an ioctl is wrong: one process could be passed a vcpu fd and call this ioctl on the vcpu used by another process, it will then be unkillable until the owner exits. Call mutex_lock_killable instead and return status. Note: mutex_lock_interruptible would be even nicer, but I am not sure all users are prepared to handle EINTR from these ioctls. They might misinterpret it as an error. Cleanup paths expect a vcpu that can't be used by any userspace so this will always succeed - catch bugs by calling BUG_ON. Catch callers that don't check return state by adding __must_check. Signed-off-by:

find_highest_vector() and count_vectors(): - Instead of using magic values, define and use proper macros. find_highest_vector(): - Remove likely() which is there only for historical reasons and not doing correct branch predictions anymore. Using such heuristics to optimize this function is not worth it now. Let CPUs predict things instead. - Stop checking word[0] separately. This was only needed for doing likely() optimization. - Use for loop, not while, to iterate over the register array to make the code clearer. Note that we actually confirmed that the likely() did wrong predictions by inserting debug code. Acked-by:
