The function is only used in processor.c, drop the declaration in
processor.h and make it static.
No functional change intended.

On x86, KVM selftests use memslot 0 for all the default regions used by
the test infrastructure. This is an implementation detail.
nested_map_memslot() is currently used to map the default regions by
explicitly passing slot 0, which leaks the library implementation into
the caller.
Rename the function to a very verbose
nested_identity_map_default_memslots() to reflect what it actually does.
Add an assertion that only memslot 0 is being used so that the
implementation does not change from under us.
No functional change intended.

Rename the functions from nested_* to tdp_* to make their purpose
clearer.

Replace the struct overlay with explicit bitmasks, which is clearer and
less error-prone. See commit f18b4aebe107 ("kvm: selftests: do not use
bitfields larger than 32-bits for PTEs") for an example of why bitfields
are not preferrable.
Remove the unused PAGE_SHIFT_4K definition while at it.
No functional change intended.

When new nested EPTs are created, the AD bits are set. This was
introduced by commit 094444204570 ("selftests: kvm: add test for dirty
logging inside nested guests"), which introduced vmx_dirty_log_test.
It's unclear why that was needed at the time, but regardless, the test
seems to pass without them so probably no longer needed.
dirty_log_perf_test (with -n to run in L2) also passes, and these are
the only tests currently using nested EPT mappings.

Please, please don't take the approach of "beat on it until it passes". Yes,
Paolo's changelog and comment from 094444204570 are awful, and yes, figuring out
what Paolo _likely_ intended requires a lot of guesswork and esoteric shadow MMU
knowledge, but _at best_, modifying code without having at least a plausible
explanation only adds to the confusion, and at worst is actively dangerous.
As you've discovered a few times now, there is plenty of code in KVM and its
tests that elicit a WTF?!!? response from pretty much everyone, i.e. odds are
good you'll run into something along these lines again, sooner or later. If/when
that happens, and you can't unravel the mystery, please send a mail with a question
instead of sending a patch that papers over the issue. E.g. casting "raise dead"
on the original thread is totally acceptable (and probably even encouraged).
That _might_ be a slower and/or more painful approach, but it's generally safer,
e.g. it's all too easy for a maintainer to speed read and apply a seemingly
uninteresting patch like this.
In this case, I strongly suspect that what Paolo was _trying_ to do was coerce
KVM into creating a writable SPTE in response to the initial READ. I.e. in the
vmx_dirty_log_test's L2 code, setting the Dirty bit in the guest stage-2 PTE is
necessary to get KVM to install a writable SPTE on the READ_ONCE():
static void l2_guest_code(u64 *a, u64 *b)
{
READ_ONCE(*a);
WRITE_ONCE(*a, 1);
GUEST_SYNC(true);
GUEST_SYNC(false);
...
}
When handling a read fault in FNAME(walk_addr_generic)(), KVM adjusts the guest
PTE access protections via FNAME(protect_clean_gpte):
if (!write_fault)
FNAME(protect_clean_gpte)(mmu, &walker->pte_access, pte);
else
/*
* On a write fault, fold the dirty bit into accessed_dirty.
* For modes without A/D bits support accessed_dirty will be
* always clear.
*/
accessed_dirty &= pte >>
(PT_GUEST_DIRTY_SHIFT - PT_GUEST_ACCESSED_SHIFT);
where FNAME(protect_clean_gpte) is:
unsigned mask;
/* dirty bit is not supported, so no need to track it */
if (!PT_HAVE_ACCESSED_DIRTY(mmu))
return;
BUILD_BUG_ON(PT_WRITABLE_MASK != ACC_WRITE_MASK);
mask = (unsigned)~ACC_WRITE_MASK;
/* Allow write access to dirty gptes */
mask |= (gpte >> (PT_GUEST_DIRTY_SHIFT - PT_WRITABLE_SHIFT)) &
PT_WRITABLE_MASK;
*access &= mask;
The idea is that KVM can elide a VM-Exit on a READ=>WRITE sequence by making the
SPTE writable on the READ fault if the guest PTEs allow the page to be written.
But KVM can only do that if the guest Dirty bit is '1'; if the Dirty bit is '0',
then KVM needs to intercept the next write in order to emulate the Dirty assist.
I emphasized "trying" above because, in the context of the dirty logging test,
simply establishing a writable SPTE on the READ_ONCE() doesn't meaningfully improve
coverage without checking KVM's behavior after the READ_ONCE(). E.g. KVM marks
GFNs as dirty (in the dirty bitmap) when creating writable SPTEs, and so doing
READ+WRITE and _then_ checking the dirty bitmap would hide the KVM PML bug that
the test was written to find.
The second part of the L2 guest code:
WRITE_ONCE(*b, 1);
GUEST_SYNC(true);
WRITE_ONCE(*b, 1);
GUEST_SYNC(true);
GUEST_SYNC(false);
_does_ trigger and detect the KVM bug, but with a WRITE=>CHECK=>WRITE=>CHECK
sequence instead of READ=>CHECK=>WRITE=>CHECK. I.e. even if there was a false
pass in the first phase, as written the second phase will detect the bug,
assuming the bug affects WRITE=>WRITE and READ=>WRITE equally. Which isn't a
great assumption, but it was the case for the PML bug.
All that said, for this patch, I think it makes sense to drop the A/D code from
the common APIs, because (a) it will be trivially easy to have the test set them
as needed once the common APIs are used for TDP mappings, and (b) temporarily
dropping the code doesn't affect the test coverage in practice.
--
Stop setting Accessed/Dirty bits when creating EPT entries for L2 so that
the stage-1 and stage-2 (a.k.a. TDP) page table APIs can use common code
without bleeding the EPT hack into the common APIs.
While commit 094444204570 ("selftests: kvm: add test for dirty logging
inside nested guests") is _very_ light on details, the most likely
explanation is that vmx_dirty_log_test was attempting to avoid taking an
EPT Violation on the first _write_ from L2.
static void l2_guest_code(u64 *a, u64 *b)
{
READ_ONCE(*a);
WRITE_ONCE(*a, 1); <===
GUEST_SYNC(true);
...
}
When handling read faults in the shadow MMU, KVM opportunistically creates
a writable SPTE if the mapping can be writable *and* the gPTE is dirty (or
doesn't support the Dirty bit), i.e. if KVM doesn't need to intercept
writes in order to emulate Dirty-bit updates. By setting A/D bits in the
test's EPT entries, the above READ+WRITE will fault only on the read, and
in theory expose the bug fixed by KVM commit 1f4e5fc83a42 ("KVM: x86: fix
nested guest live migration with PML"). If the Dirty bit is NOT set, the
test will get a false pass due; though again, in theory.
However, the test is flawed (and always was, at least in the versions
posted publicly), as KVM (correctly) marks the corresponding L1 GFN as
dirty (in the dirty bitmap) when creating the writable SPTE. I.e. without
a check on the dirty bitmap after the READ_ONCE(), the check after the
first WRITE_ONCE() will get a false pass due to the dirty bitmap/log having
been updated by the read fault, not by PML.
Furthermore, the subsequent behavior in the test's l2_guest_code()
effectively hides the flawed test behavior, as the straight writes to a
new L2 GPA fault also trigger the KVM bug, and so the test will still
detect the failure due to lack of isolation between the two testcases
(Read=>Write vs. Write=>Write).
WRITE_ONCE(*b, 1);
GUEST_SYNC(true);
WRITE_ONCE(*b, 1);
GUEST_SYNC(true);
GUEST_SYNC(false);
Punt on fixing vmx_dirty_log_test for the moment as it will be easier to
properly fix the test once the TDP code uses the common MMU APIs, at which
point it will be trivially easy for the test to retrieve the EPT PTE and
set the Dirty bit as needed.

That's fair, I am used to sending a patch that potentially does the
wrong thing than a question, because people tend to be more responsive
to wrong patches :)
That being said, I should have made this much more obvious, like add RFC
or DO NOT MERGE to the patch title, rather than subtly burying it in the
commit log.

Thanks a lot for digging and finding all of this. I agree that it's
better to add the coverage properly on top of the series, and have
a separate test case for initializing the PTEs with the dirty bit for
KVM to create a writeable PTE on READ.

In preparation for generalizing the virt mapping functions to work with
TDP page tables, introduce struct kvm_mmu. This struct currently only
holds the root GPA and number of page table levels. Parameterize virt
mapping functions by the kvm_mmu, and use the root GPA and page table
levels instead of hardcoding vm->pgd and vm->pgtable_levels.
There's a subtle change here, instead of checking that the parent
pointer is the address of the vm->pgd, check if the value pointed at by
the parent pointer is the root GPA (i.e. the value of vm->pgd in this
case). No change in behavior expected.
Opportunistically, switch the ordering of the checks in the assertion in
virt_get_pte(), as it makes more sense to check if the parent PTE is the
root (in which case, not a PTE) before checking the present flag.
vm->arch.mmu is dynamically allocated to avoid a circular dependency
chain if kvm_util_arch.h includes processor.h for the struct definition:
kvm_util_arch.h -> processor.h -> kvm_util.h -> kvm_util_arch.h
No functional change intended.

No, put kvm_mmu in common code and create kvm_vm.mmu. This makes the "mmu" object
a weird copy of state that's already in kvm_vm (pgd, pgd_created, and pgtable_levels),
and more importantly makes it _way_ to easy to botch the x86 MMU code (speaking
from first hand experience), e.g. due to grabbing vm->pgtable_levels instead of
the mmu's version. I don't see an easy way to _completely_ guard against goofs
like that, but it's easy-ish to audit code the code for instance of "vm->mmu.",
and adding a common kvm_mmu avoids the weird duplicate code.

Do you mean move pgd, pgd_created, and pgtable_levels into kvm_mmu? If
yes, that makes sense to me and is obviously an improvement over what
it's in this patch.
I didn't immediately make the connection, but in hindsight it's obvious
that having some of the state in kvm_vm_arch and some in kvm_vm is
fragile.

Move the PTE bitmasks into kvm_mmu to parameterize them for virt mapping
functions. Introduce helpers to read/write different PTE bits given a
kvm_mmu.
Drop the 'global' bit definition as it's currently unused, but leave the
'user' bit as it will be used in coming changes. Opportunisitcally
rename 'large' to 'huge' as it's more consistent with the kernel naming.
Leave PHYSICAL_PAGE_MASK alone, it's fixed in all page table formats and
a lot of other macros depend on it. It's tempting to move all the other
macros to be per-struct instead, but it would be too much noise for
little benefit.
Keep c_bit and s_bit in vm->arch as they used before the MMU is
initialized, through __vmcreate() -> vm_userspace_mem_region_add() ->
vm_mem_add() -> vm_arch_has_protected_memory().
No functional change intended.

These were modeled after the kernel accessors (e.g. in
arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable.h). I think it's clearer if we use the same
naming here, but I don't feel as strongly as you -- so fine either way.

prepare_eptp() currently allocates new EPTs for each vCPU. memstress has
its own hack to share the EPTs between vCPUs. Currently, there is no
reason to have separate EPTs for each vCPU, and the complexity is
significant. The only reason it doesn't matter now is because memstress
is the only user with multiple vCPUs.
Replace prepare_eptp() with vm_enable_ept(), which enables EPT for an
entire VM. It allocates a new nested MMU and uses it to keep track of
the common EPT root (PTE masks are currently unused, but will be by
following changes).
Drop 'eptp' and 'eptp_hva' from struct vmx_pages. Only keep 'eptp_gpa'
and initialize it from the nested MMU root GPA. 'eptp' is unused, and
addr2_gpa2hva() is used to get the HVA in __tdp_pg_map() instead of
using 'eptp_hva'.
Remove the workaround in memstress to copy the EPT root between vCPUs
since it's handled by prepare_eptp() now.

Make this an assert, attempting to enable EPT multiple times for a single VM is
a test bug. That way we don't have to worry about silly situations in the future,
e.g. like trying to change from 4-level to 5-level after the MMU has already been
created.
Ditto for the NPT code.

The root GPA can now be retrieved from the nested MMU, stop passing VMX
metadata. This is in preparation for making these functions work for
NPTs as well.
Opportunistically drop tdp_pg_map() since it's unused.
No functional change intended.

I think at this point we can actually move
memstress_setup_ept_mappings() before the loop similar to
vm_enable_ept().
I can send a patch on top or a new version, let me know if you prefer
that I do either, or fix it up while applying.

__tdp_pg_map() bears a lot of resemblence to __virt_pg_map(). The
main differences are:
- It uses the EPT struct overlay instead of the PTE masks.
- It always assumes 4-level EPTs.
To reuse __virt_pg_map(), initialize the PTE masks in nested MMU with
EPT PTE masks. EPTs have no 'present' or 'user' bits, so use the
'readable' bit instead like shadow_{present/user}_mask, ignoring the
fact that entries can be present and not readable if the CPU has
VMX_EPT_EXECUTE_ONLY_BIT. This is simple and sufficient for testing.
Add an executable bitmask and update __virt_pg_map() and friends to set
the bit on newly created entries to match the EPT behavior. It's a nop
for x86 page tables.
Another benefit of reusing the code is having separate handling for
upper-level PTEs vs 4K PTEs, which avoids some quirks like setting the
large bit on a 4K PTE in the EPTs.
No functional change intended.

Ugh, no. I am strongly against playing the same insane games KVM itself plays
with overloading protectin/access bits. There's no reason for selftests to do
the same, e.g. selftests aren't shadowing guest PTEs and doing permission checks
in hot paths and so don't need to multiplex a bunch of things into an inscrutable
(but performant!) system.

And then here to not assume PRESENT == READABLE, just check if the MMU even has
a PRESENT bit. We may still need changes, e.g. the page table builders actually
need to verify a PTE is _writable_, not just present, but that's largely an
orthogonal issue.

Rather than pass NULL (and allow NULL here) in the previous patch, pass an
empty pte_masks. That avoids churning the MMU initialization code, and allows
for a better TODO in the previous patch.

Make this a TODO, e.g.

so that it's clear this is a shortcoming, not some fundamental property of
selftests.

I was trying to stay consistent with the KVM code (rather than care
about performance), but if you'd rather simplify things here then I am
fine with that too.

Only tangentially, I was try to say that if we ever get to a point where selftests
support read-only mappings, then the below check won't suffice because walking
page tables would get false positives on whether or not an entry is usable, e.g.
if a test wants to create a writable mapping and ends up re-using a read-only
mapping.
The PRESENT == READABLE thing is much more about execute-only mappings (which
selftests also don't support, but as you allude to below, don't require new
hardware functionality).

Oh okay, thanks for clarifying. Yeah that makes sense, if/when read-only mappings are ever supported the page table builders will need to be updated accordingly.
Although now that you point this out, I think it would be easy to miss. If new helpers are introduced that just modify existing page tables to remove the write bit, then we'll probably miss updating the page table builders to check for writable mappings. Then again, we'll probably only update the leaf PTEs to be read-only, and the page table builders already do not re-use leaf entries.
We could be paranoid and add some TEST_ASSERT() calls to guard against that (e.g. in virt_create_upper_pte()), but probably not worth it.

Almost forgot, the Accessed and Dirty bits are wrong. They are bits 8 and 9
respectively, not 5 and 6. Amusingly (well, it's amusing *now*, it wasn't so
amusing at the time), I found that out when I couldn't get KVM to create a writable
SPTE on a read fault in the nested dirty log test :-)

Instead of being a reasonable person and own up to my mistake, I will
blame Intel for putting the bits there to begin with :P

Now that the functions are no longer VMX-specific, move them to
processor.c. Do a minor comment tweak replacing 'EPT' with 'TDP'.
No functional change intended.

Eh, opportunistically drop this function comment. If the reader can't figure out
what tdp_map() is doing, a failure generic comment isn't likely to help.

In preparation for generalizing the nested dirty logging test, checking
if either EPT or NPT is enabled will be needed. To avoid needing to gate
the kvm_cpu_has_ept() call by the CPU type, make sure the function
returns false if VMX is not available instead of trying to read VMX-only
MSRs.
No functional change intended.

Implement nCR3 and NPT initialization functions, similar to the EPT
equivalents, and create common TDP helpers for enablement checking and
initialization. Enable NPT for nested guests by default if the TDP MMU
was initialized, similar to VMX.
Reuse the PTE masks from the main MMU in the NPT MMU, except for the C
and S bits related to confidential VMs.

According to the APM, NPT walks are treated as user accesses. In
preparation for supporting NPT mappings, set the 'user' bit on NPTs by
adding a mask of bits to always be set on PTEs in kvm_mmu.

Generalize the code in vmx_dirty_log_test.c by adding SVM-specific L1
code, doing some renaming (e.g. EPT -> TDP), and having setup code for
both SVM and VMX in test_dirty_log().

Add L1 SVM code and generalize the setup code to work for both VMX and
SVM. This allows running 'dirty_log_perf_test -n' on AMD CPUs.

Lot's of feedback incoming, but no need for you to doing anything unless you
disagree with something. I have all the "requested" changes in a local branch,
and will post v4 (probably next week).

Thanks a lot for taking care of this. No disagreements, just a couple of
comments/questions in the replies.
