[PATCH v2 03/15] KVM: x86/mmu: Add a mirrored pointer to struct kvm_mmu_page
From: Rick Edgecombe
Date: Thu May 30 2024 - 17:08:18 EST
From: Isaku Yamahata <isaku.yamahata@xxxxxxxxx>
Add a mirrored pointer to struct kvm_mmu_page for the private page table and
add helper functions to allocate/initialize/free a private page table page.
Because KVM TDP MMU doesn't use unsync_children and write_flooding_count,
pack them to have room for a pointer and use a union to avoid memory
overhead.
For private GPA, CPU refers to a private page table whose contents are
encrypted. The dedicated APIs to operate on it (e.g. updating/reading its
PTE entry) are used, and their cost is expensive.
When KVM resolves the KVM page fault, it walks the page tables. To reuse
the existing KVM MMU code and mitigate the heavy cost of directly walking
the private page table, allocate one more page for the mirrored page table
for the KVM MMU code to directly walk. Resolve the KVM page fault with
the existing code, and do additional operations necessary for the private
page table. To distinguish such cases, the existing KVM page table is
called a shared page table (i.e., not associated with a private page
table), and the page table with a private page table is called a mirrored
page table. The relationship is depicted below.

PT: Page table
Shared PT: visible to KVM, and the CPU uses it for shared mappings.
Private/mirrored PT: the CPU uses it, but it is invisible to KVM. TDX
module updates this table to map private guest pages.
Mirror PT: It is visible to KVM, but the CPU doesn't use it. KVM uses it
to propagate PT change to the actual private PT.
Add a helper kvm_has_mirrored_tdp() to trigger this behavior and wire it
to the TDX vm type.

TDX MMU Prep v2:
- Rename private->mirror
- Don't trigger off of shared mask
TDX MMU Prep:
- Rename terminology, dummy PT => mirror PT. and updated the commit message
By Rick and Kai.
- Added a comment on union of private_spt by Rick.
- Don't handle the root case in kvm_mmu_alloc_private_spt(), it will not
be needed in future patches. (Rick)
- Update comments (Yan)
- Remove kvm_mmu_init_private_spt(), open code it in later patches (Yan)
v19:
- typo in the comment in kvm_mmu_alloc_private_spt()
- drop CONFIG_KVM_MMU_PRIVATE
