All selftests that support the backing_src option were printing their
own description of the flag and then calling backing_src_help() to dump
the list of available backing sources. Consolidate the flag printing in
backing_src_help() to align indentation, reduce duplicated strings, and
improve consistency across tests.
Note: Passing "-s" to backing_src_help is unnecessary since every test
uses the same flag. However I decided to keep it for code readability
at the call sites.
While here this opportunistically fixes the incorrectly interleaved
printing -x help message and list of backing source types in
dirty_log_perf_test.

Drop the memslot param from virt_pg_map() and virt_map() and shove the
hardcoded '0' down to the vm_phy_page_alloc() calls.
No functional change intended.

Until commit 39fe2fc96694 ("selftests: kvm: make allocation of extra
memory take effect", 2021-05-27), parameter extra_mem_pages was used
only to calculate the page table size for all the memory chunks,
because real memory allocation happened with calls of
vm_userspace_mem_region_add() after vm_create_default().
Commit 39fe2fc96694 however changed the meaning of extra_mem_pages to
the size of memory slot 0. This makes the memory allocation more
flexible, but makes it harder to account for the number of
pages needed for the page tables. For example, memslot_perf_test
has a small amount of memory in slot 0 but a lot in other slots,
and adding that memory twice (both in slot 0 and with later
calls to vm_userspace_mem_region_add()) causes an error that
was fixed in commit 000ac4295339 ("selftests: kvm: fix overlapping
addresses in memslot_perf_test", 2021-05-29)
Since both uses are sensible, add a new parameter slot0_mem_pages
to vm_create_with_vcpus() and some comments to clarify the meaning of
slot0_mem_pages and extra_mem_pages. With this change,
memslot_perf_test can go back to passing the number of memory
pages as extra_mem_pages.

This test serves as a performance tester and a bug reproducer for
kvm page table code (GPA->HPA mappings), so it gives guidance for
people trying to make some improvement for kvm.
The function guest_code() can cover the conditions where a single vcpu or
multiple vcpus access guest pages within the same memory region, in three
VM stages(before dirty logging, during dirty logging, after dirty logging).
Besides, the backing src memory type(ANONYMOUS/THP/HUGETLB) of the tested
memory region can be specified by users, which means normal page mappings
or block mappings can be chosen by users to be created in the test.
If ANONYMOUS memory is specified, kvm will create normal page mappings
for the tested memory region before dirty logging, and update attributes
of the page mappings from RO to RW during dirty logging. If THP/HUGETLB
memory is specified, kvm will create block mappings for the tested memory
region before dirty logging, and split the blcok mappings into normal page
mappings during dirty logging, and coalesce the page mappings back into
block mappings after dirty logging is stopped.
So in summary, as a performance tester, this test can present the
performance of kvm creating/updating normal page mappings, or the
performance of kvm creating/splitting/recovering block mappings,
through execution time.
When we need to coalesce the page mappings back to block mappings after
dirty logging is stopped, we have to firstly invalidate *all* the TLB
entries for the page mappings right before installation of the block entry,
because a TLB conflict abort error could occur if we can't invalidate the
TLB entries fully. We have hit this TLB conflict twice on aarch64 software
implementation and fixed it. As this test can imulate process from dirty
logging enabled to dirty logging stopped of a VM with block mappings,
so it can also reproduce this TLB conflict abort due to inadequate TLB
invalidation when coalescing tables.
