Hi all,

The function p2m_mem_access_check_and_get_page is called from the
function get_page_from_gva if mem_access is active and the
hardware-aided translation of the given guest virtual address (gva) into
machine address fails. That is, if the stage-2 translation tables
constrain access to the guests's page tables, hardware-assisted
translation will fail. The idea of the function
p2m_mem_access_check_and_get_page is thus to translate the given gva and
check the requested access rights in software. However, as the current
implementation of p2m_mem_access_check_and_get_page makes use of the
hardware-aided gva to ipa translation, the translation might also fail
because of reasons stated above and will become equally relevant for the
altp2m implementation on ARM.  As such, we provide a software guest
translation table walk to address the above mentioned issue.

The current version of the implementation supports translation of both
the short-descriptor as well as the long-descriptor translation table
format on ARMv7 and ARMv8 (AArch32/AArch64).

This revised version incorporates the comments of the previous patch
series. These comprise a comment explicitly stating the fact and
position where we recursively rely on the p2m->lock. We also add casts
to fields of the struct short_desc_t in guest_walk_sd as to cope with
incorrect values due to the C type promotion.

The following patch series can be found on Github[0].

Cheers,
~Sergej
