[PATCH 0/7] KVM: x86: guest MAXPHYADDR and C-bit fixes
From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Wed Jun 23 2021 - 19:06:24 EST
A few fixes centered around enumerating guest MAXPHYADDR and handling the
C-bit in KVM.
DISCLAIMER: I have no idea if patch 04, "Truncate reported guest
MAXPHYADDR to C-bit if SEV is" is architecturally correct. The APM says
the following about the C-bit in the context of SEV, but I can't for the
life of me find anything in the APM that clarifies whether "effectively
reduced" is supposed to apply to _only_ SEV guests, or any guest on an
SEV enabled platform.
Note that because guest physical addresses are always translated through
the nested page tables, the size of the guest physical address space is
not impacted by any physical address space reduction indicated in
CPUID 8000_001F[EBX]. If the C-bit is a physical address bit however,
the guest physical address space is effectively reduced by 1 bit.
In practice, I have observed that Rome CPUs treat the C-bit as reserved for
non-SEV guests (another disclaimer on this below). Long story short, commit
ef4c9f4f6546 ("KVM: selftests: Fix 32-bit truncation of vm_get_max_gfn()")
exposed the issue by inadvertantly causing selftests to start using GPAs
with bit 47 set.
That said, regardless of whether or not the behavior is intended, it needs
to be addressed by KVM. I think the only difference is whether this is
KVM's _only_ behavior, or whether it's gated by an erratum flag.
The second disclaimer is that I haven't tested with memory encryption
disabled in hardware. I wrote the patch assuming/hoping that only CPUs
that report SEV=1 treat the C-bit as reserved, but I haven't actually
tested the SEV=0 case on e.g. CPUs with only SME (we might have these
platforms, but I've no idea how to access/find them), or CPUs with SME/SEV
disabled in BIOS (again, I've no idea how to do this with our BIOS).
Sean Christopherson (7):
KVM: x86: Use guest MAXPHYADDR from CPUID.0x8000_0008 iff TDP is
enabled
KVM: x86: Use kernel's x86_phys_bits to handle reduced MAXPHYADDR
KVM: x86: Truncate reported guest MAXPHYADDR to C-bit if SEV is
supported
KVM: x86/mmu: Do not apply HPA (memory encryption) mask to GPAs
KVM: VMX: Refactor 32-bit PSE PT creation to avoid using MMU macro
KVM: x86/mmu: Bury 32-bit PSE paging helpers in paging_tmpl.h
KVM: x86/mmu: Use separate namespaces for guest PTEs and shadow PTEs
