[RFC PATCH v2 00/15] KVM TDX: TDP MMU: large page support

[isaku . yamahata]

From: Isaku Yamahata <isaku.yamahata@xxxxxxxxx>

Changes from v1:
- implemented page merging path
- rebased to UPM v10
- rebased to TDX KVM v10
- rebased to kvm.git queue + v6.1-rc8

---
This patch series is based on "v10 KVM TDX: basic feature support".  It
implements large page support for TDP MMU by allowing populating of the large
page and splitting it when necessary.

Feedback for options to merge sub-pages into a large page are welcome.

Splitting large pages when necessary
====================================
* It already tracking whether GFN is private or shared.  When it's changed,
  update lpage_info to prevent a large page.
* TDX provides page level on Secure EPT violation.  Pass around the page level
  that the lower level functions needs.
* Even if the page is the large page in the host, at the EPT level, only some
  sub-pages are mapped.  In such cases abandon to map large pages and step into
  the sub-page level, unlike the conventional EPT.
* When zapping spte and the spte is for a large page, split and zap it unlike
  the conventional EPT because otherwise the protected page contents will be
  lost.
* It's not implemented to merge pages into a large page.


Mergihng small pages into a large page if possible
==================================================
On normal EPT violation, check whether pages can be merged into a large page
after mapping it.
Missing part is as follows
* Make nx recovery thread useTDH.MEM.RANGE.BLOCK instead of zapping EPT entry.
* Record that the entry is blocked by introducing a bit in spte.  On EPT
  violation, check if the entry is blocked or not.  If the EPT violation is
  caused by a blocked Secure-EPT entry, trigger the page merge logic.


TDX operation
=============
The following describes what TDX operations procedures.

* EPT violation trick
Such track (zapping the EPT entry to trigger EPT violation) doesn't work for
TDX.  For TDX, it will lose the contents of the protected page to zap a page
because the protected guest page is un-associated from the guest TD.  Instead,
TDX provides a different way to trigger EPT violation without losing the page
contents so that VMM can detect guest TD activity by blocking/unblocking
Secure-EPT entry.  TDH.MEM.RANGE.BLOCK and TDH.MEM.RANGE.UNBLOCK.  They
correspond to clearing/setting a present bit in an EPT entry with page contents
still kept.  By TDH.MEM.RANGE.BLOCK and TLB shoot down, VMM can cause guest TD
to trigger EPT violation.  After that, VMM can unblock it by
TDH.MEM.RANGE.UNBLOCK and resume guest TD execution.  The procedure is as
follows.

  - Block Secure-EPT entry by TDH.MEM.RANGE.BLOCK.
  - TLB shoot down.
  - Wait for guest TD to trigger EPT violation.
  - Unblock Secure-EPT entry by TDH.MEM.RANGE.UNBLOCK to resume the guest TD.

* merging sub-pages into a large page
The following steps are needed.
- Ensure that all sub-pages are mapped.
- TLB shoot down.
- Merge sub-pages into a large page (TDH.MEM.PAGE.PROMOTE).
  This requires all sub-pages are mapped.
- Cache flush Secure EPT page used to map subpages.
