KVM: selftests: Ensure all vCPUs hit -EFAULT during initial RO stage
During the initial mprotect(RO) stage of mmu_stress_test, keep vCPUs spinning until all vCPUs have hit -EFAULT, i.e. until all vCPUs have tried to write to a read-only page. If a vCPU manages to complete an entire iteration of the loop without hitting a read-only page, *and* the vCPU observes mprotect_ro_done before starting a second iteration, then the vCPU will prematurely fall through to GUEST_SYNC(3) (on x86 and arm64) and get out of sequence. Replace the "do-while (!r)" loop around the associated _vcpu_run() with a single invocation, as barring a KVM bug, the vCPU is guaranteed to hit -EFAULT, and retrying on success is super confusion, hides KVM bugs, and complicates this fix. The do-while loop was semi-unintentionally added specifically to fudge around a KVM x86 bug, and said bug is unhittable without modifying the test to force x86 down the !(x86||arm64) path. On x86, if forced emulation is enabled, vcpu_arch_put_guest() may trigger emulation of the store to memory. Due a (very, very) longstanding bug in KVM x86's emulator, emulate writes to guest memory that fail during __kvm_write_guest_page() unconditionally return KVM_EXIT_MMIO. While that is desirable in the !memslot case, it's wrong in this case as the failure happens due to __copy_to_user() hitting a read-only page, not an emulated MMIO region. But as above, x86 only uses vcpu_arch_put_guest() if the __x86_64__ guards are clobbered to force x86 down the common path, and of course the unexpected MMIO is a KVM bug, i.e. *should* cause a test failure.
