Add a selftest to exercise implicit/explicit conversion functionality within KVM and verify: - Shared memory is visible to host userspace - Private memory is not visible to host userspace - Host userspace and guest can communicate over shared memory - Data in shared backing is preserved across conversions (test's host userspace doesn't free the data) - Private memory is bound to the lifetime of the VM Ideally, KVM's selftests infrastructure would be reworked to allow backing a single region of guest memory with multiple memslots for _all_ backing types and shapes, i.e. ideally the code for using a single backing fd across multiple memslots would work for "regular" memory as well. But sadly, support for KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD has languished for far too long, and overhauling selftests' memslots infrastructure would likely open a can of worms, i.e. delay things even further. In addition to the more obvious tests, verify that PUNCH_HOLE actually frees memory. Directly verifying that KVM frees memory is impractical, if it's even possible, so instead indirectly verify memory is freed by asserting that the guest reads zeroes after a PUNCH_HOLE. E.g. if KVM zaps SPTEs but doesn't actually punch a hole in the inode, the subsequent read will still see the previous value. And obviously punching a hole shouldn't cause explosions. Let the user specify the number of memslots in the private mem conversion test, i.e. don't require the number of memslots to be '1' or "nr_vcpus". Creating more memslots than vCPUs is particularly interesting, e.g. it can result in a single KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES spanning multiple memslots. To keep the math reasonable, align each vCPU's chunk to at least 2MiB (the size is 2MiB+4KiB), and require the total size to be cleanly divisible by the number of memslots. The goal is to be able to validate that KVM plays nice with multiple memslots, being able to create a truly arbitrary number of memslots doesn't add meaningful value, i.e. isn't worth the cost. Intentionally don't take a requirement on KVM_CAP_GUEST_MEMFD, KVM_CAP_MEMORY_FAULT_INFO, KVM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_PRIVATE, etc., as it's a KVM bug to advertise KVM_X86_SW_PROTECTED_VM without its prerequisites.

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.
