Splitting huge pages requires allocating/finding shadow pages to replace
the huge page. Shadow pages are keyed, in part, off the guest access
permissions they are shadowing. For fully direct MMUs, there is no
shadowing so the access bits in the shadow page role are always ACC_ALL.
But during shadow paging, the guest can enforce whatever access
permissions it wants.
When KVM is resolving a fault, it walks the guest pages tables to
determine the guest access permissions. But that is difficult to plumb
when splitting huge pages outside of a fault context, e.g. for eager
page splitting.
To enable eager page splitting, KVM can cache the shadowed (guest)
access permissions whenever it updates the shadow page tables (e.g.
during fault, or FNAME(sync_page)). In fact KVM already does this to
cache the shadowed GFN using the gfns array in the shadow page.
The access bits only take up 3 bits, which leaves 61 bits left over for
gfns, which is more than enough. So this change does not require any
additional memory.
Now that the gfns array caches more information than just GFNs, rename
it to shadowed_translation.
While here, preemptively fix up the WARN_ON() that detects gfn
mismatches in direct SPs. The WARN_ON() was paired with a
pr_err_ratelimited(), which means that users could sometimes see the
WARN without the accompanying error message. Fix this by outputting the
error message as part of the WARN splat.
