[PATCH v2 0/2] KVM: arm64: nv: Expose shadow page tables in debugfs

[Wei-Lin Chang]

Hi,

This is v2 of exposing shadow page tables in debugfs, there are a few
small improvements, please see below.

Changes in v2:
 - move debugfs_nv_dentry also behind CONFIG_PTDUMP_STAGE2_DEBUGFS
 - use a macro to define the file names of shadow ptdumps, also
   explicitly spell out the string to get its maximum size
 - add Reviewed-by tag from Sebastian (thanks!)
 - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/kvmarm/20260308231829.864983-1-weilin.chang@arm.com/

[PATCH v2 1/2] KVM: arm64: ptdump: Make KVM ptdump code s2 mmu aware

[Wei-Lin Chang]

To reuse the ptdump code for shadow page table dumping later, let's pass
s2 mmu as the private data, so we have the freedom to select which page
table to print.

[PATCH v2 2/2] KVM: arm64: nv: Expose shadow page tables in debugfs

[Wei-Lin Chang]

Exposing shadow page tables in debugfs improves the debugability and
testability of NV. With this patch a new directory "nested" is created
for each VM created if the host is NV capable. Within the directory each
valid s2 mmu will have its shadow page table exposed as a readable file
with the file name formatted as 0x<vttbr>-0x<vtcr>-s2-{en,dis}abled. The
creation and removal of the files happen at the points when an s2 mmu
becomes valid, or the context it represents change. In the future the
"nested" directory can also hold other NV related information.

This is gated behind CONFIG_PTDUMP_STAGE2_DEBUGFS.

Here's an example of this code in action:

root@semi-fraudulent:/home/maz/vminstall# ls -l /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/932-4/nested/
total 0
-r-------- 1 root root 0 Mar 19 11:58 0x0-0x80000000-s2-disabled
-r-------- 1 root root 0 Mar 19 12:01 0x100010124c000-0x800c3558-s2-enabled
-r-------- 1 root root 0 Mar 19 15:06 0x200010d916000-0x800c3558-s2-enabled
-r-------- 1 root root 0 Mar 19 15:16 0x30001027ec000-0x800c3558-s2-enabled

I think these hex values should always be padded with leading zeroes,
making them more readable.

I can hack that in as I queue the patches.

	M.

Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.
