[PATCH v2 08/13] KVM: x86: Dynamically allocate per-vCPU emulation context
From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Tue Feb 18 2020 - 18:30:29 EST
Allocate the emulation context instead of embedding it in struct
kvm_vcpu_arch.
Dynamic allocation provides several benefits:
- Shrinks the size x86 vcpus by ~2.5k bytes, dropping them back below
the PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER threshold.
- Allows for dropping the include of kvm_emulate.h from asm/kvm_host.h
and moving kvm_emulate.h into KVM's private directory.
- Allows a reducing KVM's attack surface by shrinking the amount of
vCPU data that is exposed to usercopy.
- Allows a future patch to disable the emulator entirely, which may or
may not be a realistic endeavor.
Mark the entire struct as valid for usercopy to maintain existing
behavior with respect to hardened usercopy. Future patches can shrink
the usercopy range to cover only what is necessary.
