Subject: [GIT PULL] KVM: x86: MMU changes for 7.1
Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2026 16:58:24 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260410235832.2312342-6-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260410235832.2312342-1-seanjc@google.com>
Fix an amusing UBSAN warning where nx_huge_pages can be read before KVM is
fully loaded, optimize the unsync flow, and micro-optimize hugepage splitting
in the TDP MMU.
The following changes since commit 11439c4635edd669ae435eec308f4ab8a0804808:
Linux 7.0-rc2 (2026-03-01 15:39:31 -0800)

KVM: x86/mmu: KVM: x86/mmu: Skip unsync when large pages are allowed (2026-03-12 10:36:01 -0700)
----------------------------------------------------------------
KVM x86 MMU changes for 7.1
- Fix an undefined behavior warning where a crafty userspace can read kvm.ko's
nx_huge_pages before it's fully initialized.
- Don't zero-allocate page tables that are used for splitting hugepages in the
TDP MMU, as KVM is guaranteed to set all SPTEs in the page table and thus
write all bytes.
- Bail early when trying to unsync 4KiB mappings if the target gfn can be
mapped with a 2MiB hugepage, to avoid the gfn hash lookup.
