Note: My intention is to take this series via the MIPS KVM tree along with the others for v4.11, with a topic branch containing the MIPS architecture change, so an ack is welcome for patch 1 in particular. This series first converts MIPS KVM to use page tables for its GPA -> HPA mappings instead of a linear array. The linear array was only really meant to be temporary, and isn't sparse so its wasteful of memory. It also never handled resizing of the array for multiple or changed memory regions, which a sparse page table pretty much handles automatically. We then go on to implement the shadow flushing architecture callbacks to allow the mappings (page tables and TLB entries) to be flushed in response to memory region changes. This is fairly straightforward for GPA which is shared between VCPUs as the kvm->mmu_lock can protect it, but GVA page tables are specific to a VCPU so are accessed locklessly. This would make it unsafe to directly modify any GVA page tables, so we wire up the TLB flush VCPU request so that we can tell a possibly running VCPU to flush its own GVA mappings. Since MIPS KVM emulation code can also access GVA mappings directly, we use the READING_SHADOW_PAGE_TABLES VCPU mode similar to how x86 does to locklessly protect these accesses. This ensures that either the flush will take place before the GVA access, or an IPI will be sent to confirm receipt of the request which will be delayed until after the GVA access is complete. The patches are roughly grouped as follows: Patch 1: This is a MIPS architecture change needed for patch 9. As I mentioned above I intend to combine this into a topic branch which can be merged into both the MIPS architecture tree and the MIPS KVM tree. Patch 2: This singularly converts GPA to use page tables. Patches 3-10: These implement shadow flushing, first laying the ground work to allow TLB flush requests to work and to protect direct GVA access from asynchronous flush requests.
