This is the first patch in a series which adds nested EPT support to KVM's nested VMX. Nested EPT means emulating EPT for an L1 guest so that L1 can use EPT when running a nested guest L2. When L1 uses EPT, it allows the L2 guest to set its own cr3 and take its own page faults without either of L0 or L1 getting involved. This often significanlty improves L2's performance over the previous two alternatives (shadow page tables over EPT, and shadow page tables over shadow page tables). This patch adds EPT support to paging_tmpl.h. paging_tmpl.h contains the code for reading and writing page tables. The code for 32-bit and 64-bit tables is very similar, but not identical, so paging_tmpl.h is #include'd twice in mmu.c, once with PTTTYPE=32 and once with PTTYPE=64, and this generates the two sets of similar functions. There are subtle but important differences between the format of EPT tables and that of ordinary x86 64-bit page tables, so for nested EPT we need a third set of functions to read the guest EPT table and to write the shadow EPT table. So this patch adds third PTTYPE, PTTYPE_EPT, which creates functions (prefixed with "EPT") which correctly read and write EPT tables. Reviewed-by:

Some guest paging modes do not support A/D bits. Add support for such modes in shadow page code. For such modes PT_GUEST_DIRTY_MASK, PT_GUEST_ACCESSED_MASK, PT_GUEST_DIRTY_SHIFT and PT_GUEST_ACCESSED_SHIFT should be set to zero. Reviewed-by:

kvm_set_cr3() attempts to check if the new cr3 is a valid guest physical address. The problem is that with nested EPT, cr3 is an *L2* physical address, not an L1 physical address as this test expects. As the comment above this test explains, it isn't necessary, and doesn't correspond to anything a real processor would do. So this patch removes it. Note that this wrong test could have also theoretically caused problems in nested NPT, not just in nested EPT. However, in practice, the problem was avoided: nested_svm_vmexit()/vmrun() do not call kvm_set_cr3 in the nested NPT case, and instead set the vmcb (and arch.cr3) directly, thus circumventing the problem. Additional potential calls to the buggy function are avoided in that we don't trap cr3 modifications when nested NPT is enabled. However, because in nested VMX we did want to use kvm_set_cr3() (as requested in Avi Kivity's review of the original nested VMX patches), we can't avoid this problem and need to fix it. Reviewed-by:

The existing code for handling cr3 and related VMCS fields during nested exit and entry wasn't correct in all cases: If L2 is allowed to control cr3 (and this is indeed the case in nested EPT), during nested exit we must copy the modified cr3 from vmcs02 to vmcs12, and we forgot to do so. This patch adds this copy. If L0 isn't controlling cr3 when running L2 (i.e., L0 is using EPT), and whoever does control cr3 (L1 or L2) is using PAE, the processor might have saved PDPTEs and we should also save them in vmcs12 (and restore later).

Recent KVM, since http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kvm/2010/5/2/6261577 switch the EFER MSR when EPT is used and the host and guest have different NX bits. So if we add support for nested EPT (L1 guest using EPT to run L2) and want to be able to run recent KVM as L1, we need to allow L1 to use this EFER switching feature. To do this EFER switching, KVM uses VM_ENTRY/EXIT_LOAD_IA32_EFER if available, and if it isn't, it uses the generic VM_ENTRY/EXIT_MSR_LOAD. This patch adds support for the former (the latter is still unsupported). Nested entry and exit emulation (prepare_vmcs_02 and load_vmcs12_host_state, respectively) already handled VM_ENTRY/EXIT_LOAD_IA32_EFER correctly. So all that's left to do in this patch is to properly advertise this feature to L1. Note that vmcs12's VM_ENTRY/EXIT_LOAD_IA32_EFER are emulated by L0, by using vmx_set_efer (which itself sets one of several vmcs02 fields), so we always support this feature, regardless of whether the host supports it.

Current code always uses arch.mmu to check the reserved bits on guest gpte which is valid only for L1 guest, we should use arch.nested_mmu instead when we translate gva to gpa for the L2 guest Fix it by using @mmu instead since it is adapted to the current mmu mode automatically The bug can be triggered when nested npt is used and L1 guest and L2 guest use different mmu mode Reported-by:

During nested vmentry into vm86 mode a vcpu state is found to be incorrect because rflags does not have VM flag set since it is read from the cache and has L1's value instead of L2's. If emulate_invalid_guest_state=1 L0 KVM tries to emulate it, but emulation does not work for nVMX and it never should happen anyway. Fix that by using vmx_set_rflags() to set rflags during nested vmentry which takes care of updating register cache. Signed-off-by:

The gmap_map_segment function uses PGDIR_SIZE in the check for the maximum address in the tasks address space. This incorrectly limits the amount of memory usable for a kvm guest to 4TB. The correct limit is (1UL << 53). As the TASK_SIZE has different values (4TB vs 8PB) dependent on the existance of the fourth page table level, create a new define 'TASK_MAX_SIZE' for (1UL << 53).

This lets debugging work better during emulation of invalid guest state.

Linux as a guest on KVM hypervisor, the only user of the pvclock vsyscall interface, does not require notification on task migration because: 1. cpu ID number maps 1:1 to per-CPU pvclock time info. 2. per-CPU pvclock time info is updated if the underlying CPU changes. 3. that version is increased whenever underlying CPU changes. Which is sufficient to guarantee nanoseconds counter is calculated properly. Signed-off-by:

Fix read/write to IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL MSR in nested environment. This patch simulate this MSR in nested_vmx and the default value is 0x0. BIOS should set it to 0x5 before VMXON. After setting the lock bit, write to it will cause #GP(0). Another QEMU patch is also needed to handle emulation of reset and migration. Reset to vCPU should clear this MSR and migration should reserve value of it.

This is called right after the memslots is updated, i.e. when the result of update_memslots() gets installed in install_new_memslots().

Currently, fast page fault incorrectly tries to fix mmio page fault when the generation number is invalid (spte.gen != kvm.gen). It then returns to guest to retry the fault since it sees the last spte is nonpresent. This causes an infinite loop. Since fast page fault only works for direct mmu, the issue exists when 1) tdp is enabled. It is only triggered only on AMD host since on Intel host the mmio page fault is recognized as ept-misconfig whose handler call fault-page path with error_code = 0 2) guest paging is disabled. Under this case, the issue is hardly discovered since paging disable is short-lived and the sptes will be invalid after memslot changed for 150 times Fix it by filtering out MMIO page faults in page_fault_can_be_fast.

But the SLUB code is relatively lockless, and the spin_locks there are raw_spin_locks (not converted to mutexes), thus I believe this bug can happen in mainline without -rt features. The -rt patch is just good at triggering mainline bugs ;-) Anyway, looking at where this crashed, it seems that the page variable can be NULL when passed to the node_match() function (which does not check if it is NULL). When this happens we get the above panic. As page is only used in slab_alloc() to check if the node matches, if it's NULL I'm assuming that we can say it doesn't and call the __slab_alloc() code. Is this a correct assumption? Acked-by:
