[PATCH v2 03/10] KVM: x86/mmu: Allow non-zero value for non-present SPTE and removed SPTE

From: Paolo Bonzini
Date: Tue Apr 16 2024 - 16:21:52 EST


From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx>

For TD guest, the current way to emulate MMIO doesn't work any more, as KVM
is not able to access the private memory of TD guest and do the emulation.
Instead, TD guest expects to receive #VE when it accesses the MMIO and then
it can explicitly make hypercall to KVM to get the expected information.

To achieve this, the TDX module always enables "EPT-violation #VE" in the
VMCS control. And accordingly, for the MMIO spte for the shared GPA,
1. KVM needs to set "suppress #VE" bit for the non-present SPTE so that EPT
violation happens on TD accessing MMIO range. 2. On EPT violation, KVM
sets the MMIO spte to clear "suppress #VE" bit so the TD guest can receive
the #VE instead of EPT misconfiguration unlike VMX case. For the shared GPA
that is not populated yet, EPT violation need to be triggered when TD guest
accesses such shared GPA. The non-present SPTE value for shared GPA should
set "suppress #VE" bit.

Add "suppress #VE" bit (bit 63) to SHADOW_NONPRESENT_VALUE and
REMOVED_SPTE. Unconditionally set the "suppress #VE" bit (which is bit 63)
for both AMD and Intel as: 1) AMD hardware doesn't use this bit when
present bit is off; 2) for normal VMX guest, KVM never enables the
"EPT-violation #VE" in VMCS control and "suppress #VE" bit is ignored by
hardware.
