Boris Ostrovsky ccfc73e56d x86/kvm: Cache gfn to pfn translation
commit 917248144db5d7320655dbb41d3af0b8a0f3d589 upstream.

__kvm_map_gfn()'s call to gfn_to_pfn_memslot() is
* relatively expensive
* in certain cases (such as when done from atomic context) cannot be called

Stashing gfn-to-pfn mapping should help with both cases.

This is part of CVE-2019-3016.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
