[PATCH] KVM: hyper-v: Add new exit reason HYPERV_OVERLAY

From: Siddharth Chandrasekaran
Date: Fri Apr 23 2021 - 05:06:13 EST


Hypercall code page is specified in the Hyper-V TLFS to be an overlay
page, ie., guest chooses a GPA and the host _places_ a page at that
location, making it visible to the guest and the existing page becomes
inaccessible. Similarly when disabled, the host should _remove_ the
overlay and the old page should become visible to the guest.

Currently KVM directly patches the hypercall code into the guest chosen
GPA. Since the guest seldom moves the hypercall code page around, it
doesn't see any problems even though we are corrupting the exiting data
in that GPA.

VSM API introduces more complex overlay workflows during VTL switches
where the guest starts to expect that the existing page is intact. This
means we need a more generic approach to handling overlay pages: add a
new exit reason KVM_EXIT_HYPERV_OVERLAY that exits to userspace with the
expectation that a page gets overlaid there.

In the interest of maintaing userspace exposed behaviour, add a new KVM
capability to allow the VMMs to enable this if they can handle the
hypercall page in userspace.
