[PATCH v4 12/20] kvm: arm64: Dynamic configuration of VTTBR mask

Suzuki K Poulose
2018-07-18T09:06:56Z

On arm64 VTTBR_EL2:BADDR holds the base address for the stage2
translation table. The Arm ARM mandates that the bits BADDR[x-1:0]
should be 0, where 'x' is defined for a given IPA Size and the
number of levels for a translation granule size. It is defined
using some magical constants. This patch is a reverse engineered
implementation to calculate the 'x' at runtime for a given ipa and
number of page table levels. See patch for more details.

+/*
+ * ARM VMSAv8-64 defines an algorithm for finding the translation table
+ * descriptors in section D4.2.8 in ARM DDI 0487C.a.
+ *
+ * The algorithm defines the expectations on the BaseAddress (for the page
+ * table) bits resolved at each level based on the page size, entry level
+ * and T0SZ. The variable "x" in the algorithm also affects the VTTBR:BADDR
+ * for stage2 page table.
+ *
+ * The value of "x" is calculated as :
+ * x = Magic_N - T0SZ
+ *
+ * where Magic_N is an integer depending on the page size and the entry
+ * level of the page table as below:
+ *
+ * --------------------------------------------
+ * | Entry level | 4K 16K 64K |
+ * --------------------------------------------
+ * | Level: 0 (4 levels) | 28 | - | - |
+ * --------------------------------------------
+ * | Level: 1 (3 levels) | 37 | 31 | 25 |
+ * --------------------------------------------
+ * | Level: 2 (2 levels) | 46 | 42 | 38 |
+ * --------------------------------------------
+ * | Level: 3 (1 level) | - | 53 | 51 |
+ * --------------------------------------------
+ *
+ * We have a magic formula for the Magic_N below:
+ *
+ * Magic_N(PAGE_SIZE, Level) = 64 - ((PAGE_SHIFT - 3) * Number_of_levels)
+ *
+ * where Number_of_levels = (4 - Level). We are only interested in the
+ * value for Entry_Level for the stage2 page table.
+ *
+ * So, given that T0SZ = (64 - IPA_SHIFT), we can compute 'x' as follows:
+ *
+ * x = (64 - ((PAGE_SHIFT - 3) * Number_of_levels)) - (64 - IPA_SHIFT)
+ * = IPA_SHIFT - ((PAGE_SHIFT - 3) * Number of levels)
+ *
+ * Here is one way to explain the Magic Formula:
+ *
+ * x = log2(Size_of_Entry_Level_Table)
+ *
+ * Since, we can resolve (PAGE_SHIFT - 3) bits at each level, and another
+ * PAGE_SHIFT bits in the PTE, we have :
+ *
+ * Bits_Entry_level = IPA_SHIFT - ((PAGE_SHIFT - 3) * (n - 1) + PAGE_SHIFT)
+ * = IPA_SHIFT - (PAGE_SHIFT - 3) * n - 3
+ * where n = number of levels, and since each pointer is 8bytes, we have:
+ *
+ * x = Bits_Entry_Level + 3
+ * = IPA_SHIFT - (PAGE_SHIFT - 3) * n
+ *
+ * The only constraint here is that, we have to find the number of page table
+ * levels for a given IPA size (which we do, see stage2_pt_levels())
