In confidential computing usages, whether a page is private or shared is
necessary information for KVM to perform operations like page fault
handling, page zapping etc. There are other potential use cases for
per-page memory attributes, e.g. to make memory read-only (or no-exec,
or exec-only, etc.) without having to modify memslots.
Introduce two ioctls (advertised by KVM_CAP_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES) to allow
userspace to operate on the per-page memory attributes.
- KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES to set the per-page memory attributes to
a guest memory range.
- KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES to return the KVM supported
memory attributes.
KVM internally uses xarray to store the per-page memory attributes.

+4.138 KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES
+-----------------------------------------
+
+:Capability: KVM_CAP_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES
+:Architectures: x86
+:Type: vm ioctl
+:Parameters: u64 memory attributes bitmask(out)
+:Returns: 0 on success, <0 on error
+
+Returns supported memory attributes bitmask. Supported memory attributes will
+have the corresponding bits set in u64 memory attributes bitmask.
+
+The following memory attributes are defined::
+
+ #define KVM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_READ (1ULL << 0)
+ #define KVM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_WRITE (1ULL << 1)
+ #define KVM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_EXECUTE (1ULL << 2)

+4.139 KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES
+-----------------------------------------
+
+:Capability: KVM_CAP_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES
+:Architectures: x86
+:Type: vm ioctl
+:Parameters: struct kvm_memory_attributes(in/out)
+:Returns: 0 on success, <0 on error
+
+Sets memory attributes for pages in a guest memory range. Parameters are
+specified via the following structure::
+
+ struct kvm_memory_attributes {
+ __u64 address;
+ __u64 size;
+ __u64 attributes;
+ __u64 flags;
+ };
+
+The user sets the per-page memory attributes to a guest memory range indicated
+by address/size, and in return KVM adjusts address and size to reflect the
+actual pages of the memory range have been successfully set to the attributes.
+If the call returns 0, "address" is updated to the last successful address + 1
+and "size" is updated to the remaining address size that has not been set
+successfully. The user should check the return value as well as the size to
+decide if the operation succeeded for the whole range or not. The user may want
+to retry the operation with the returned address/size if the previous range was
+partially successful.
+
+Both address and size should be page aligned and the supported attributes can be
+retrieved with KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES.
+
+The "flags" field may be used for future extensions and should be set to 0s.
