+ * Copyright (C) 2021, Google, Inc.
+ *
+ * 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 by marking a pages as idle
+ * in /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap. This test leverages that mechanism to
+ * enable access tracking on guest memory.
+ *
+ * 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 as it exists today. This is for a few reasons:
+ *
+ * 1. page_idle only issues 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 this test
+ * will fail rather than silently passing.
