Avi Kivity c1158e63df KVM: MMU: Fix oopses with SLUB
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.

Avi Kivity 90cb0529dd KVM: Fix memory slot management functions for guest smp
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
c59def9f22 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()

about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,

Avi Kivity d9e368d612 KVM: Flush remote tlbs when reducing shadow pte permissions
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

Avi Kivity 0028425f64 KVM: Update shadow pte on write to guest pte
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%.

Avi Kivity fce0657ff9 KVM: MMU: Respect nonpae pagetable quadrant when zapping ptes
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.

Avi Kivity 954bbbc236 KVM: Simply gfn_to_page()
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.

Avi Kivity d28c6cfbbc KVM: MMU: Fix hugepage pdes mapping same physical address with different access
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.

Avi Kivity 039576c03c KVM: Avoid guest virtual addresses in string pio userspace interface
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

Change the interface not to communicate guest addresses at all; instead use

manages the virtual to physical translation and can perform the checks
atomically by taking the appropriate locks.

Avi Kivity 6b8d0f9b18 KVM: Fix off-by-one when writing to a nonpae guest pde
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.

Avi Kivity ac1b714e78 KVM: MMU: Fix guest writes to nonpae pde
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.
