KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Introduce rmap to track nested guest mappings
When a host (L0) page which is mapped into a (L1) guest is in turn
mapped through to a nested (L2) guest we keep a reverse mapping (rmap)
so that these mappings can be retrieved later.
Whenever we create an entry in a shadow_pgtable for a nested guest we
create a corresponding rmap entry and add it to the list for the
L1 guest memslot at the index of the L1 guest page it maps. This means
at the L1 guest memslot we end up with lists of rmaps.
When we are notified of a host page being invalidated which has been
mapped through to a (L1) guest, we can then walk the rmap list for that
guest page, and find and invalidate all of the corresponding
shadow_pgtable entries.
In order to reduce memory consumption, we compress the information for
each rmap entry down to 52 bits -- 12 bits for the LPID and 40 bits
for the guest real page frame number -- which will fit in a single
unsigned long. To avoid a scenario where a guest can trigger
unbounded memory allocations, we scan the list when adding an entry to
see if there is already an entry with the contents we need. This can
occur, because we don't ever remove entries from the middle of a list.
A struct nested guest rmap is a list pointer and an rmap entry;
----------------
| next pointer |
----------------
| rmap entry |
----------------
Thus the rmap pointer for each guest frame number in the memslot can be
either NULL, a single entry, or a pointer to a list of nested rmap entries.
gfn memslot rmap array
-------------------------
0 | NULL | (no rmap entry)
-------------------------
1 | single rmap entry | (rmap entry with low bit set)
-------------------------
2 | list head pointer | (list of rmap entries)
-------------------------
The final entry always has the lowest bit set and is stored in the next
pointer of the last list entry, or as a single rmap entry.
With a list of rmap entries looking like;
----------------- ----------------- -------------------------
| list head ptr | ----> | next pointer | ----> | single rmap entry |
----------------- ----------------- -------------------------
| rmap entry | | rmap entry |
----------------- -------------------------
