Pre-population has been requested several times to mitigate KVM page faults
during guest boot or after live migration. It is also required by TDX
before filling in the initial guest memory with measured contents.
Introduce it as a generic API.
Paolo
v4->v5:
- add EIO as possible error
- do not introduce __kvm_mmu_do_page_fault(), instead update stats in callers
- remove goto
- fix commit message to not mention weak symbol
- return error if range->size is 0
- fix comment to explain TDP restriction
- fix guest_test_phys_mem > guest_test_virt_mem case in test

KVM: Document KVM_PRE_FAULT_MEMORY ioctl
KVM: Add KVM_PRE_FAULT_MEMORY vcpu ioctl to pre-populate guest memory
KVM: selftests: x86: Add test for KVM_PRE_FAULT_MEMORY
Paolo Bonzini (2):
KVM: x86/mmu: Make kvm_mmu_do_page_fault() return mapped level
KVM: x86: Implement kvm_arch_vcpu_pre_fault_memory()
Sean Christopherson (2):
KVM: x86/mmu: Bump pf_taken stat only in the "real" page fault handler
KVM: x86/mmu: Account pf_{fixed,emulate,spurious} in callers of "do
page fault"
