KVM: x86: enable dirty log gradually in small chunks
It could take kvm->mmu_lock for an extended period of time when
enabling dirty log for the first time. The main cost is to clear
all the D-bits of last level SPTEs. This situation can benefit from
manual dirty log protect as well, which can reduce the mmu_lock
time taken. The sequence is like this:
1. Initialize all the bits of the dirty bitmap to 1 when enabling
dirty log for the first time
2. Only write protect the huge pages
3. KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG returns the dirty bitmap info
4. KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG will clear D-bit for each of the leaf level
SPTEs gradually in small chunks
Under the Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6152 CPU @ 2.10GHz environment,
I did some tests with a 128G windows VM and counted the time taken
of memory_global_dirty_log_start, here is the numbers:
VM Size Before After optimization
128G 460ms 10ms
