Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: Use gpa_t for cr2/gpa to fix TDP support on 32-bit
KVM

Convert a plethora of parameters and variables in the MMU and page fault
flows from type gva_t to gpa_t to properly handle TDP on 32-bit KVM.

Thanks to PSE and PAE paging, 32-bit kernels can access 64-bit physical
addresses.  When TDP is enabled, the fault address is a guest physical
address and thus can be a 64-bit value, even when both KVM and its guest
are using 32-bit virtual addressing, e.g. VMX's VMCS.GUEST_PHYSICAL is a
64-bit field, not a natural width field.

Using a gva_t for the fault address means KVM will incorrectly drop the
upper 32-bits of the GPA.  Ditto for gva_to_gpa() when it is used to
translate L2 GPAs to L1 GPAs.

Opportunistically rename variables and parameters to better reflect the
dual address modes, e.g. use "cr2_or_gpa" for fault addresses and plain
"addr" instead of "vaddr" when the address may be either a GVA or an L2
GPA.  Similarly, use "gpa" in the nonpaging_page_fault() flows to avoid
a confusing "gpa_t gva" declaration; this also sets the stage for a
future patch to combing nonpaging_page_fault() and tdp_page_fault() with
minimal churn.

Sprinkle in a few comments to document flows where an address is known
to be a GVA and thus can be safely truncated to a 32-bit value.  Add
WARNs in kvm_handle_page_fault() and FNAME(gva_to_gpa_nested)() to help
document such cases and detect bugs.

File and variable renames. I've cleaned it up and queued for 5.4 and
4.19.
