Sean Christopherson e851265a81 KVM: x86/mmu: Use huge pages for DAX-backed files
Walk the host page tables to identify hugepage mappings for ZONE_DEVICE
pfns, i.e. DAX pages.  Explicitly query kvm_is_zone_device_pfn() when
deciding whether or not to bother walking the host page tables, as DAX
pages do not set up the head/tail infrastructure, i.e. will return false
for PageCompound() even when using huge pages.

Zap ZONE_DEVICE sptes when disabling dirty logging, e.g. if live
migration fails, to allow KVM to rebuild large pages for DAX-based
mappings.  Presumably DAX favors large pages, and worst case scenario is
a minor performance hit as KVM will need to re-fault all DAX-based
pages.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
