2009-10-04KVM: MMU: add SPTE_HOST_WRITEABLE flag to the shadow ptesIzik Eidus
this flag notify that the host physical page we are pointing to from the spte is write protected, and therefore we cant change its access to be write unless we run get_user_pages(write = 1). (this is needed for change_pte support in kvm) Signed-off-by: Izik Eidus <ieidus@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>

2009-03-24KVM: Fix missing smp tlb flush in invlpgAndrea Arcangeli
When kvm emulates an invlpg instruction, it can drop a shadow pte, but leaves the guest tlbs intact. This can cause memory corruption when swapping out. Without this the other cpu can still write to a freed host physical page. tlb smp flush must happen if rmap_remove is called always before mmu_lock is released because the VM will take the mmu_lock before it can finally add the page to the freelist after swapout. mmu notifier makes it safe to flush the tlb after freeing the page (otherwise it would never be safe) so we can do a single flush for multiple sptes invalidated.

2008-11-26KVM: MMU: avoid creation of unreachable pages in the shadowMarcelo Tosatti
It is possible for a shadow page to have a parent link pointing to a freed page. When zapping a high level table, kvm_mmu_page_unlink_children fails to remove the parent_pte link. For that to happen, the child must be unreachable via the shadow tree, which can happen in shadow_walk_entry if the guest pte was modified in between walk() and fetch(). Remove the parent pte reference in such case. Possible cause for oops in bug #2217430. Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
2008-10-15KVM: MMU: out of sync shadow coreMarcelo Tosatti

2008-04-27KVM: MMU: Don't assume struct page for x86Anthony Liguori
This patch introduces a gfn_to_pfn() function and corresponding functions like kvm_release_pfn_dirty(). Using these new functions, we can modify the x86 MMU to no longer assume that it can always get a struct page for any given gfn. We don't want to eliminate gfn_to_page() entirely because a number of places assume they can do gfn_to_page() and then kmap() the results. When we support IO memory, gfn_to_page() will fail for IO pages although gfn_to_pfn() will succeed. This does not implement support for avoiding reference counting for reserved RAM or for IO memory. However, it should make those things pretty straight forward. Since we're only introducing new common symbols, I don't think it will break the non-x86 architectures but I haven't tested those. I've tested Intel, AMD, NPT, and hugetlbfs with Windows and Linux guests.

2008-04-27KVM: MMU: Decouple mmio from shadow page tablesAvi Kivity
Currently an mmio guest pte is encoded in the shadow pagetable as a not-present trapping pte, with the SHADOW_IO_MARK bit set. However nothing is ever done with this information, so maintaining it is a useless complication. This patch moves the check for mmio to before shadow ptes are instantiated, so the shadow code is never invoked for ptes that reference mmio. The code is simpler, and with future work, can be made to handle mmio concurrently. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
2008-04-27KVM: MMU: Update shadow ptes on partial guest pte writesDong, Eddie
A guest partial guest pte write will leave shadow_trap_nonpresent_pte in spte, which generates a vmexit at the next guest access through that pte. This patch improves this by reading the full guest pte in advance and thus being able to update the spte and eliminate the vmexit. This helps pae guests which use two 32-bit writes to set a single 64-bit pte.

2008-03-04KVM: MMU: Fix race when instantiating a shadow pteAvi Kivity
For improved concurrency, the guest walk is performed concurrently with other vcpus. This means that we need to revalidate the guest ptes once we have write-protected the guest page tables, at which point they can no longer be modified. The current code attempts to avoid this check if the shadow page table is not new, on the assumption that if it has existed before, the guest could not have modified the pte without the shadow lock. However the assumption is incorrect, as the racing vcpu could have modified the pte, then instantiated the shadow page, before our vcpu regains control: vcpu0 vcpu1 fault walk pte modify pte fault in same pagetable instantiate shadow page lookup shadow page conclude it is old instantiate spte based on stale guest pte We could do something clever with generation counters, but a test run by Marcelo suggests this is unnecessary and we can just do the revalidation unconditionally. The pte will be in the processor cache and the check can be quite fast. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
