From Boris Ostrovsky:

The KVM hypervisor may provide a guest with ability to defer remote TLB
flush when the remote VCPU is not running. When this feature is used,
the TLB flush will happen only when the remote VPCU is scheduled to run
again. This will avoid unnecessary (and expensive) IPIs.

Under certain circumstances, when a guest initiates such deferred action,
the hypervisor may miss the request. It is also possible that the guest
may mistakenly assume that it has already marked remote VCPU as needing
a flush when in fact that request had already been processed by the
hypervisor. In both cases this will result in an invalid translation
being present in a vCPU, potentially allowing accesses to memory locations
in that guest's address space that should not be accessible.

Note that only intra-guest memory is vulnerable.

The five patches address both of these problems:
1. The first patch makes sure the hypervisor doesn't accidentally clear
a guest's remote flush request
2. The rest of the patches prevent the race between hypervisor
acknowledging a remote flush request and guest issuing a new one.

Conflicts:

__kvm_map_gfn()'s call to gfn_to_pfn_memslot() is
* relatively expensive
* in certain cases (such as when done from atomic context) cannot be called

Stashing gfn-to-pfn mapping should help with both cases.

This is part of CVE-2019-3016.

kvm_vcpu_(un)map operates on gfns from any current address space.
In certain cases we want to make sure we are not mapping SMRAM
and for that we can use kvm_(un)map_gfn() that we are introducing
in this patch.

<title>mm: thp: KVM: Explicitly check for THP when populating secondary MMU</title>

<content type='text'>
Add a helper, is_transparent_hugepage(), to explicitly check whether a
compound page is a THP and use it when populating KVM's secondary MMU.
The explicit check fixes a bug where a remapped compound page, e.g. for
an XDP Rx socket, is mapped into a KVM guest and is mistaken for a THP,
which results in KVM incorrectly creating a huge page in its secondary
MMU.

<title>KVM: Move running VCPU from ARM to common code</title>

For ring-based dirty log tracking, it will be more efficient to account
writes during schedule-out or schedule-in to the currently running VCPU.
We would like to do it even if the write doesn't use the current VCPU's
address space, as is the case for cached writes (see commit 4e335d9e7ddb,
"Revert "KVM: Support vCPU-based gfn-&gt;hva cache"", 2017-05-02).

Therefore, add a mechanism to track the currently-loaded kvm_vcpu struct.
There is already something similar in KVM/ARM; one important difference
is that kvm_arch_vcpu_{load,put} have two callers in virt/kvm/kvm_main.c:
we have to update both the architecture-independent vcpu_{load,put} and
the preempt notifiers.

Another change made in the process is to allow using kvm_get_running_vcpu()
in preemptible code.  This is allowed because preempt notifiers ensure
that the value does not change even after the VCPU thread is migrated.
