Subject: [PATCH v2 0/9] Fixes to pagetable handling
Date: Thu, 16 Mar 2017 16:31:34 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1489681903-28119-1-git-send-email-andrew.cooper3@citrix.com> (raw)
This series has been a long time in preparation (i.e. most of the 4.8 and 4.9
dev cycles). It started when I tried to make an XTF PoC for XSA-176, and
stumbled upon the the _PAGE_PAGED aliasing issue (see patch 7) which caused by
PoC to be descheduled waiting for (a non-existent) paging agent to respond.
This series is built upon:
1) The switch to using _Bool. I spent rather too long trying to debug why
CR0.WP wasn't behaving properly, and it was down to static inline bool_t
guest_wp_enabled().
2) The series to switch emulation to using system-segment relative memory
accesses (directly relevant to patches 1 and 2), which in turn resulted
in the discovery of XSA-191.
3) The CPUID improvement work to get maxphysaddr into a sensibly audited
state, and sensibly accessible location.
Patches 1-4 and 8-9 are new in v2, mostly items requested to be split out in
review from v1.
Andrew Cooper (9):
x86/cpuid: Sort cpu_has_* predicates by feature number
x86/pagewalk: Use pointer syntax for pfec parameter
x86/shadow: Drop VALID_GFN()
x86/pagewalk: Clean up guest_supports_* predicates
x86/pagewalk: Helpers for reserved bit handling
x86/pagewalk: Re-implement the pagetable walker
x86/shadow: Use the pagewalk reserved bits helpers
x86/pagewalk: Improve the logic behind setting access and dirty bits
x86/pagewalk: non-functional cleanup
