Currently, if a permission error happens during the translation of
the final GPA to HPA, walk_addr_generic returns 0 but does not fill
in walker->fault. To avoid this, add an x86_exception* argument
to the translate_gpa function, and let it fill in walker->fault.
The nested_page_fault field will be true, since the walk_mmu is the

If a nested page fault happens during emulation, we will inject a vmexit,
not a page fault. However because writeback happens after the injection,
we will write ctxt->eip from L2 into the L1 EIP. We do not write back
if an instruction caused an interception vmexit---do the same for page
faults.

The following events can lead to an incorrect KVM_EXIT_MMIO bubbling
up to userspace:
(1) Guest accesses gpa X without a memory slot. The gfn is cached in
struct kvm_vcpu_arch (mmio_gfn). On Intel EPT-enabled hosts, KVM sets
the SPTE write-execute-noread so that future accesses cause
EPT_MISCONFIGs.
(2) Host userspace creates a memory slot via KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION
covering the page just accessed.
(3) Guest attempts to read or write to gpa X again. On Intel, this
generates an EPT_MISCONFIG. The memory slot generation number that
was incremented in (2) would normally take care of this but we fast
path mmio faults through quickly_check_mmio_pf(), which only checks
the per-vcpu mmio cache. Since we hit the cache, KVM passes a
KVM_EXIT_MMIO up to userspace.
This patch fixes the issue by using the memslot generation number
to validate the mmio cache.

vcpu exits and memslot mutations can run concurrently as long as the
vcpu does not aquire the slots mutex. Thus it is theoretically possible
for memslots to change underneath a vcpu that is handling an exit.
If we increment the memslot generation number again after
synchronize_srcu_expedited(), vcpus can safely cache memslot generation
without maintaining a single rcu_dereference through an entire vm exit.
And much of the x86/kvm code does not maintain a single rcu_dereference
of the current memslots during each exit.
We can prevent the following case:
vcpu (CPU 0) | thread (CPU 1)
--------------------------------------------+--------------------------
1 vm exit |
2 srcu_read_unlock(&kvm->srcu) |
3 decide to cache something based on |
old memslots |
4 | change memslots
| (increments generation)
5 | synchronize_srcu(&kvm->srcu);
6 retrieve generation # from new memslots |
7 tag cache with new memslot generation |
8 srcu_read_unlock(&kvm->srcu) |
... |
<action based on cache occurs even |
though the caching decision was based |
on the old memslots> |
... |
<action *continues* to occur until next |
memslot generation change, which may |
be never> |
|
By incrementing the generation after synchronizing with kvm->srcu readers,
we ensure that the generation retrieved in (6) will become invalid soon
after (8).
Keeping the existing increment is not strictly necessary, but we
do keep it and just move it for consistency from update_memslots to
install_new_memslots. It invalidates old cached MMIOs immediately,
instead of having to wait for the end of synchronize_srcu_expedited,
which makes the code more clearly correct in case CPU 1 is preempted
right after synchronize_srcu() returns.
To avoid halving the generation space in SPTEs, always presume that the
low bit of the generation is zero when reconstructing a generation number
out of an SPTE. This effectively disables MMIO caching in SPTEs during
the call to synchronize_srcu_expedited. Using the low bit this way is
somewhat like a seqcount---where the protected thing is a cache, and
instead of retrying we can simply punt if we observe the low bit to be 1.

Unlike VMCALL, the instructions VMXOFF, VMLAUNCH and VMRESUME should cause a UD
exception in real-mode or vm86. However, the emulator considers all these
instructions the same for the matter of mode checks, and emulation upon exit
due to #UD exception.
As a result, the hypervisor behaves incorrectly on vm86 mode. VMXOFF, VMLAUNCH
or VMRESUME cause on vm86 exit due to #UD. The hypervisor then emulates these
instruction and inject #GP to the guest instead of #UD.
This patch creates a new group for these instructions and mark only VMCALL as
an instruction which can be emulated.

Store the target address for the gmap segments in a radix tree

becomes a simple radix_tree_lookup, gmap_fault is split into the
address translation with gmap_translate and the part that does
the linking of the gmap shadow page table with the process page
table.
A second radix tree is used to keep the pointers to the segment
table entries for segments that are mapped in the guest address
space. On unmap of a segment the pointer is retrieved from the
radix tree and is used to carry out the segment invalidation in
the gmap shadow page table. As the radix tree can only store one
pointer, each host segment may only be mapped to exactly one
guest location.

Window is increased on every PLE exit and decreased on every sched_in.

We do this with sched_in() because it does not hold rq lock.
There are two new kernel parameters for changing the window:
ple_window_grow and ple_window_shrink
ple_window_grow affects the window on PLE exit and ple_window_shrink
does it on sched_in; depending on their value, the window is modifier
like this: (ple_window is kvm_intel's global)
ple_window_shrink/ |
ple_window_grow | PLE exit | sched_in
-------------------+--------------------+---------------------
< 1 | = ple_window | = ple_window
< ple_window | *= ple_window_grow | /= ple_window_shrink
otherwise | += ple_window_grow | -= ple_window_shrink
