Linux kernel source tree

When zapping a TDP MMU root, perform the zap in two passes to avoid
zapping an entire top-level SPTE while holding RCU, which can induce RCU
stalls. In the first pass, zap SPTEs at PG_LEVEL_1G, and then
zap top-level entries in the second pass.
With 4-level paging, zapping a PGD that is fully populated with 4kb leaf
SPTEs take up to ~7 or so seconds (time varies based on kernel config,
number of (v)CPUs, etc...). With 5-level paging, that time can balloon
well into hundreds of seconds.
Before remote TLB flushes were omitted, the problem was even worse as
waiting for all active vCPUs to respond to the IPI introduced significant
overhead for VMs with large numbers of vCPUs.
By zapping 1gb SPTEs (both shadow pages and hugepages) in the first pass,
the amount of work that is done without dropping RCU protection is
strictly bounded, with the worst case latency for a single operation
being less than 100ms.
Zapping at 1gb in the first pass is not arbitrary. First and foremost,
KVM relies on being able to zap 1gb shadow pages in a single shot when
when repacing a shadow page with a hugepage. Zapping a 1gb shadow page
that is fully populated with 4kb dirty SPTEs also triggers the worst case
latency due writing back the struct page accessed/dirty bits for each 4kb
page, i.e. the two-pass approach is guaranteed to work so long as KVM can
cleany zap a 1gb shadow page.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
