Yan Zhao fbb4adadea KVM: x86: Make cpu_dirty_log_size a per-VM value
Make cpu_dirty_log_size (CPU's dirty log buffer size) a per-VM value and
set the per-VM cpu_dirty_log_size only for normal VMs when PML is enabled.
Do not set it for TDs.

Until now, cpu_dirty_log_size was a system-wide value that is used for
all VMs and is set to the PML buffer size when PML was enabled in VMX.
However, PML is not currently supported for TDs, though PML remains
available for normal VMs as long as the feature is supported by hardware
and enabled in VMX.

Making cpu_dirty_log_size a per-VM value allows it to be ther PML buffer
size for normal VMs and 0 for TDs. This allows functions like
kvm_arch_sync_dirty_log() and kvm_mmu_update_cpu_dirty_logging() to
determine if PML is supported, in order to kick off vCPUs or request them
to update CPU dirty logging status (turn on/off PML in VMCS).

This fixes an issue first reported in [1], where QEMU attaches an
emulated VGA device to a TD; note that KVM_MEM_LOG_DIRTY_PAGES
still works if the corresponding has no flag KVM_MEM_GUEST_MEMFD.
KVM then invokes kvm_mmu_update_cpu_dirty_logging() and from there
vmx_update_cpu_dirty_logging(), which incorrectly accesses a kvm_vmx
struct for a TDX VM.

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 reStructuredText 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.
