Partition the function into three sections:
- fetching indirect shadow pages (host_level > guest_level)
- fetching direct shadow pages (page_level < host_level <= guest_level)
- the final spte (page_level == host_level)
Instead of the current spaghetti.
A slight change from the original code is that we call validate_direct_spte()
more often: previously we called it only for gw->level, now we also call it for
lower levels. The change should have no effect.

In no-direct mapping, we mark sp is 'direct' when we mapping the
guest's larger page, but its access is encoded form upper page-struct
entire not include the last mapping, it will cause access conflict.
For example, have this mapping:
[W]
/ PDE1 -> |---|
P[W] | | LPA
\ PDE2 -> |---|
[R]
P have two children, PDE1 and PDE2, both PDE1 and PDE2 mapping the
same lage page(LPA). The P's access is WR, PDE1's access is WR,
PDE2's access is RO(just consider read-write permissions here)
When guest access PDE1, we will create a direct sp for LPA, the sp's
access is from P, is W, then we will mark the ptes is W in this sp.
Then, guest access PDE2, we will find LPA's shadow page, is the same as
PDE's, and mark the ptes is RO.
So, if guest access PDE1, the incorrect #PF is occured.

In Documentation/kvm/mmu.txt:
gfn:
Either the guest page table containing the translations shadowed by this
page, or the base page frame for linear translations. See role.direct.
But in function FNAME(fetch)(), sp->gfn is incorrect when one of following
situations occurred:
1) guest is 32bit paging and the guest PDE maps a 4-MByte page
(backed by 4k host pages), FNAME(fetch)() miss handling the quadrant.
And if guest use pse-36, "table_gfn = gpte_to_gfn(gw->ptes[level - delta]);"
is incorrect.
2) guest is long mode paging and the guest PDPTE maps a 1-GByte page
(backed by 4k or 2M host pages).
So we fix it to suit to the document and suit to the code which
requires sp->gfn correct when sp->role.direct=1.
We use the goal mapping gfn(gw->gfn) to calculate the base page frame
for linear translations, it is simple and easy to be understood.

When sp->role.direct is set, sp->gfns does not contain any essential
information, leaf sptes reachable from this sp are for a continuous
guest physical memory range (a linear range).
So sp->gfns[i] (if it was set) equals to sp->gfn + i. (PT_PAGE_TABLE_LEVEL)
Obviously, it is not essential information, we can calculate it when need.
It means we don't need sp->gfns when sp->role.direct=1,
Thus we can save one page usage for every kvm_mmu_page.
Note:
Access to sp->gfns must be wrapped by kvm_mmu_page_get_gfn()
or kvm_mmu_page_set_gfn().
It is only exposed in FNAME(sync_page).

In common cases, guest SRAO MCE will cause corresponding poisoned page
be un-mapped and SIGBUS be sent to QEMU-KVM, then QEMU-KVM will relay
the MCE to guest OS.
But it is reported that if the poisoned page is accessed in guest
after unmapping and before MCE is relayed to guest OS, userspace will
be killed.
The reason is as follows. Because poisoned page has been un-mapped,
guest access will cause guest exit and kvm_mmu_page_fault will be
called. kvm_mmu_page_fault can not get the poisoned page for fault
address, so kernel and user space MMIO processing is tried in turn. In
user MMIO processing, poisoned page is accessed again, then userspace
is killed by force_sig_info.
To fix the bug, kvm_mmu_page_fault send HWPOISON signal to QEMU-KVM
and do not try kernel and user space MMIO processing for poisoned
page.

Commit fb341f57 removed the pte prefetch on guest invlpg, citing guest races.
However, the SDM is adamant that prefetch is allowed:
"The processor may create entries in paging-structure caches for
translations required for prefetches and for accesses that are a
result of speculative execution that would never actually occur
in the executed code path."
And, in fact, there was a race in the prefetch code: we picked up the pte
without the mmu lock held, so an older invlpg could install the pte over
a newer invlpg.
Reinstate the prefetch logic, but this time note whether another invlpg has
executed using a counter. If a race occured, do not install the pte.

The update_pte() path currently uses a nontrapping spte when a nonpresent
(or nonaccessed) gpte is written. This is fine since at present it is only
used on sync pages. However, on an unsync page this will cause an endless
fault loop as the guest is under no obligation to invlpg a gpte that
transitions from nonpresent to present.
Needed for the next patch which reinstates update_pte() on invlpg.

The invlpg prefault optimization breaks Windows 2008 R2 occasionally.
The visible effect is that the invlpg handler instantiates a pte which
is, microseconds later, written with a different gfn by another vcpu.
The OS could have other mechanisms to prevent a present translation from
being used, which the hypervisor is unaware of.
While the documentation states that the cpu is at liberty to prefetch tlb
entries, it looks like this is not heeded, so remove tlb prefetch from
invlpg.
