There is already support of enabling dirty log gradually in small chunks
for x86 in commit 3c9bd4006b ("KVM: x86: enable dirty log gradually in
small chunks"). This adds support for arm64.
x86 still writes protect all huge pages when DIRTY_LOG_INITIALLY_ALL_SET
is enabled. However, for arm64, both huge pages and normal pages can be
write protected gradually by userspace.
Under the Huawei Kunpeng 920 2.6GHz platform, I did some tests on 128G
Linux VMs with different page size. The memory pressure is 127G in each
case. The time taken of memory_global_dirty_log_start in QEMU is listed
below:
Page Size Before After Optimization
4K 650ms 1.8ms
2M 4ms 1.8ms
1G 2ms 1.8ms
Besides the time reduction, the biggest improvement is that we will minimize
the performance side effect (because of dissolving huge pages and marking
memslots dirty) on guest after enabling dirty log.

We support mapping host memory backed by PMD transparent hugepages
at stage2 as huge pages. However the checks are now spread across
two different places. Let us unify the handling of the THPs to
keep the code cleaner (and future proof for PUD THP support).
This patch moves transparent_hugepage_adjust() closer to the caller
to avoid a forward declaration for fault_supports_stage2_huge_mappings().
Also, since we already handle the case where the host VA and the guest
PA may not be aligned, the explicit VM_BUG_ON() is not required.

If we are checking whether the stage2 can map PAGE_SIZE,
we don't have to do the boundary checks as both the host
VMA and the guest memslots are page aligned. Bail the case
easily.
While we're at it, fixup a typo in the comment below.

Do cond_resched_lock() in stage2_flush_memslot() like what is done in
unmap_stage2_range() and other places holding mmu_lock while processing
a possibly large range of memory.

Now that the 32bit KVM/arm host is a distant memory, let's move the
whole of the KVM/arm64 code into the arm64 tree.
As they said in the song: Welcome Home (Sanitarium).
