The kvm mmu uses page->private on shadow page tables; so does slub, and an oops result. Fix by allocating regular pages for shadows instead of using slub. Tested-by: NS.Çağlar Onur <caglar@pardus.org.tr> Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

The memory slot management functions were oriented against vcpu 0, where they should be kvm-wide. This causes hangs starting X on guest smp. Fix by making the functions (and resultant tail in the mmu) non-vcpu-specific. Unfortunately this reduces the efficiency of the mmu object cache a bit. We may have to revisit this later.

Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's c59def9f change. They've been BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them either. This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create() completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves, or the documentation references).

When a vcpu causes a shadow tlb entry to have reduced permissions, it must also clear the tlb on remote vcpus. We do that by: - setting a bit on the vcpu that requests a tlb flush before the next entry - if the vcpu is currently executing, we send an ipi to make sure it exits before we continue Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

Switch guest paging context may require us to allocate memory, which might fail. Instead of wiring up error paths everywhere, make context switching lazy and actually do the switch before the next guest entry, where we can return an error if allocation fails.

This was once used to avoid accessing the guest pte when upgrading the shadow pte from read-only to read-write. But usually we need to set the guest pte dirty or accessed bits anyway, so this wasn't really exploited. Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

A typical demand page/copy on write pattern is: - page fault on vaddr - kvm propagates fault to guest - guest handles fault, updates pte - kvm traps write, clears shadow pte, resumes guest - guest returns to userspace, re-faults on same vaddr - kvm installs shadow pte, resumes guest - guest continues So, three vmexits for a single guest page fault. But if instead of clearing the page table entry, we update to correspond to the value that the guest has just written, we eliminate the third vmexit. This patch does exactly that, reducing kbuild time by about 10%. Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

When a guest writes to a page that has an mmu shadow, we have to clear the shadow pte corresponding to the memory location touched by the guest. Now, in nonpae mode, a single guest page may have two or four shadow pages (because a nonpae page maps 4MB or 4GB, whereas the pae shadow maps 2MB or 1GB), so we when we look up the page we find up to three additional aliases for the page. Since we _clear_ the shadow pte, it doesn't matter except for a slight performance penalty, but if we want to _update_ the shadow pte instead of clearing it, it is vital that we don't modify the aliases. Fortunately, exactly which page is needed (the "quadrant") is easily computed, and is accessible in the shadow page header. All we need is to ignore shadow pages from the wrong quadrants.

Some guests (Solaris) do not set up all four pdptrs, but leave some invalid. kvm incorrectly treated these as valid page directories, pinning the wrong pages and causing general confusion.

Mapping a guest page to a host page is a common operation. Currently, one has first to find the memory slot where the page belongs (gfn_to_memslot), then locate the page itself (gfn_to_page()). This is clumsy, and also won't work well with memory aliases. So simplify gfn_to_page() not to require memory slot translation first, and instead do it internally.

The kvm mmu keeps a shadow page for hugepage pdes; if several such pdes map the same physical address, they share the same shadow page. This is a fairly common case (kernel mappings on i386 nonpae Linux, for example). However, if the two pdes map the same memory but with different permissions, kvm will happily use the cached shadow page. If the access through the more permissive pde will occur after the access to the strict pde, an endless pagefault loop will be generated and the guest will make no progress. Fix by making the access permissions part of the cache lookup key. The fix allows Xen pae to boot on kvm and run guest domains. Thanks to Jeremy Fitzhardinge for reporting the bug and testing the fix. Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

The initial, noncaching, version of the kvm mmu flushed the all nonglobal shadow page table translations (much like a native tlb flush). The new implementation flushes translations only when they change, rendering global pte tracking superfluous. This removes the unused tracking mechanism and storage space.

The current string pio interface communicates using guest virtual addresses, relying on userspace to translate addresses and to check permissions. This interface cannot fully support guest smp, as the check needs to take into account two pages at one in case an unaligned string transfer straddles a page boundary. Change the interface not to communicate guest addresses at all; instead use a buffer page (mmaped by userspace) and do transfers there. The kernel manages the virtual to physical translation and can perform the checks atomically by taking the appropriate locks. Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

Nonpae guest pdes are shadowed by two pae ptes, so we double the offset twice: once to account for the pte size difference, and once because we need to shadow pdes for a single guest pde. But when writing to the upper guest pde we also need to truncate the lower bits, otherwise the multiply shifts these bits into the pde index and causes an access to the wrong shadow pde. If we're at the end of the page (accessing the very last guest pde) we can even overflow into the next host page and oops. Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

PAGE_MASK is an unsigned long, so using it to mask physical addresses on i386 (which are 64-bit wide) leads to truncation. This can result in page->private of unrelated memory pages being modified, with disasterous results. Fix by not using PAGE_MASK for physical addresses; instead calculate the correct value directly from PAGE_SIZE. Also fix a similar BUG_ON().

KVM shadow page tables are always in pae mode, regardless of the guest setting. This means that a guest pde (mapping 4MB of memory) is mapped to two shadow pdes (mapping 2MB each). When the guest writes to a pte or pde, we intercept the write and emulate it. We also remove any shadowed mappings corresponding to the write. Since the mmu did not account for the doubling in the number of pdes, it removed the wrong entry, resulting in a mismatch between shadow page tables and guest page tables, followed shortly by guest memory corruption. This patch fixes the problem by detecting the special case of writing to a non-pae pde and adjusting the address and number of shadow pdes zapped accordingly.
