KVM: riscv: Support enabling dirty log gradually in small chunks
There is already support of enabling dirty log gradually in small chunks
for x86 in commit 3c9bd4006bfc ("KVM: x86: enable dirty log gradually in
small chunks") and c862626 ("KVM: arm64: Support enabling dirty log
gradually in small chunks"). This adds support for riscv.
x86 and arm64 writes protect both huge pages and normal pages now, so
riscv protect also protects both huge pages and normal pages.
On a nested virtualization setup (RISC-V KVM running inside a QEMU VM
on an [Intel® Core™ i5-12500H] host), I did some tests with a 2G Linux
VM using different backing page sizes. The time taken for
memory_global_dirty_log_start in the L2 QEMU is listed below:
Page Size Before After Optimization
4K 4490.23ms 31.94ms
2M 48.97ms 45.46ms
1G 28.40ms 30.93ms
