KVM: Add generic support for dirty page logging
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
kvm_get_dirty_log() provides generic handling of dirty bitmap, currently reused
by several architectures. Building on that we intrdoduce
kvm_get_dirty_log_protect() adding write protection to mark these pages dirty
for future write access, before next KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG ioctl call from user
space.

#ifdef CONFIG_KVM_GENERIC_DIRTYLOG_READ_PROTECT
/**
* kvm_get_dirty_log_protect - get a snapshot of dirty pages, and if any pages
* are dirty write protect them for next write.
* @kvm: pointer to kvm instance
* @log: slot id and address to which we copy the log
* @is_dirty: flag set if any page is dirty
*
* We need to keep it in mind that VCPU threads can write to the bitmap
* concurrently. So, to avoid losing track of dirty pages we keep the
* following order:
*
* 1. Take a snapshot of the bit and clear it if needed.
* 2. Write protect the corresponding page.
* 3. Copy the snapshot to the userspace.
* 4. Upon return caller flushes TLB's if needed.
*
* Between 2 and 4, the guest may write to the page using the remaining TLB
* entry. This is not a problem because the page is reported dirty using
* the snapshot taken before and step 4 ensures that writes done after
* exiting to userspace will be logged for the next call.
