      KVM: MMU: fix infinite fault access retry · 7751babd
      Xiao Guangrong 提交于
      We have two issues in current code:
      - if target gfn is used as its page table, guest will refault then kvm will use
        small page size to map it. We need two #PF to fix its shadow page table
      
      - sometimes, say a exception is triggered during vm-exit caused by #PF
        (see handle_exception() in vmx.c), we remove all the shadow pages shadowed
        by the target gfn before go into page fault path, it will cause infinite
        loop:
        delete shadow pages shadowed by the gfn -> try to use large page size to map
        the gfn -> retry the access ->...
      
      To fix these, we can adjust page size early if the target gfn is used as page
      table

      KVM: MMU: fix Dirty bit missed if CR0.WP = 0 · c2288505
      Xiao Guangrong 提交于
      If the write-fault access is from supervisor and CR0.WP is not set on the
      vcpu, kvm will fix it by adjusting pte access - it sets the W bit on pte
      and clears U bit. This is the chance that kvm can change pte access from
      readonly to writable
      
      Unfortunately, the pte access is the access of 'direct' shadow page table,
      means direct sp.role.access = pte_access, then we will create a writable
      spte entry on the readonly shadow page table. It will cause Dirty bit is
      not tracked when two guest ptes point to the same large page. Note, it
      does not have other impact except Dirty bit since cr0.wp is encoded into
      sp.role
      
      It can be fixed by adjusting pte access before establishing shadow page
      table. Also, after that, no mmu specified code exists in the common function
      and drop two parameters in set_spte

      KVM: MMU: optimize for set_spte · c2193463
      Xiao Guangrong 提交于
      There are two cases we need to adjust page size in set_spte:
      1): the one is other vcpu creates new sp in the window between mapping_level()
          and acquiring mmu-lock.
      2): the another case is the new sp is created by itself (page-fault path) when
          guest uses the target gfn as its page table.
      
      In current code, set_spte drop the spte and emulate the access for these case,
      it works not good:
      - for the case 1, it may destroy the mapping established by other vcpu, and
        do expensive instruction emulation.
      - for the case 2, it may emulate the access even if the guest is accessing
        the page which not used as page table. There is a example, 0~2M is used as
        huge page in guest, in this huge page, only page 3 used as page table, then
        guest read/writes on other pages can cause instruction emulation.
      
      Both of these cases can be fixed by allowing guest to retry the access, it
      will refault, then we can establish the mapping by using small page
