[PATCH v3] KVM: vmx: fix ept reserved bits for 1-GByte page

[Wanpeng Li]

EPT misconfig handler in kvm will check which reason lead to EPT
misconfiguration after vmexit. One of the reasons is that an EPT
paging-structure entry is configured with settings reserved for
future functionality. However, the handler can't identify if
paging-structure entry of reserved bits for 1-GByte page are
configured, since PDPTE which point to 1-GByte page will reserve
bits 29:12 instead of bits 7:3 which are reserved for PDPTE that
references an EPT Page Directory. This patch fix it by reserve
bits 29:12 for 1-GByte page.

v2 -> v3:
 * return 0xf8 for level == 4
 * check spte & (1ULL << 7) if level == 1 
 * (rsvd_mask & 0x38) == 0 for large page or leaf page 
v1 -> v2:
 * same "if" statement cover both 2MB and 1GB pages
 * return 0xf8 for level == 4
 * get the level by checking the return value of ept_rsvd_mask

You have to check level == 1 specifically here, or add...

... "if (level > 1)" here.

Otherwise, you're marking bits 6:3 as reserved for 4K pages.  This
should cause a WARN, because KVM puts 0110 in those bits:

                ret = (MTRR_TYPE_WRBACK << VMX_EPT_MT_EPTE_SHIFT)
                        | VMX_EPT_IPAT_BIT;

(in vmx_get_mt_mask: writeback memory, ignore PAT memory type from the
guest's page tables)

How are you testing this patch?

Got it.
