 *
 * This test measures the performance effects of KVM's access tracking.
 * Access tracking is driven by the MMU notifiers test_young, clear_young, and
 * clear_flush_young. These notifiers do not have a direct userspace API,
 * however the clear_young notifier can be triggered either by
 *   1. marking a pages as idle in /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap OR
 *   2. adding a new MGLRU generation using the lru_gen debugfs file.
 * This test leverages page_idle to enable access tracking on guest memory
 * unless MGLRU is enabled, in which case MGLRU is used.
 *
 * To measure performance this test runs a VM with a configurable number of
 * vCPUs that each touch every page in disjoint regions of memory. Performance
 * is measured in the time it takes all vCPUs to finish touching their
 * predefined region.
 *
 * Note that a deterministic correctness test of access tracking is not possible
 * by using page_idle or MGLRU aging as it exists today. This is for a few
 * reasons:
 *
 * 1. page_idle and MGLRU only issue clear_young notifiers, which lack a TLB flush.
 *    This means subsequent guest accesses are not guaranteed to see page table
 *    updates made by KVM until some time in the future.
 *
 * 2. page_idle only operates on LRU pages. Newly allocated pages are not
 *    immediately allocated to LRU lists. Instead they are held in a "pagevec",
 *    which is drained to LRU lists some time in the future. There is no
 *    userspace API to force this drain to occur.
 *
 * These limitations are worked around in this test by using a large enough
 * region of memory for each vCPU such that the number of translations cached in
 * the TLB and the number of pages held in pagevecs are a small fraction of the
 * overall workload. And if either of those conditions are not true (for example
 * in nesting, where TLB size is unlimited) this test will print a warning
 * rather than silently passing.
