From 5a475554db1e476a14216e742ea2bdb77362d5d5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chao Peng Date: Fri, 27 Oct 2023 11:21:55 -0700 Subject: KVM: Introduce per-page memory attributes MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit In confidential computing usages, whether a page is private or shared is necessary information for KVM to perform operations like page fault handling, page zapping etc. There are other potential use cases for per-page memory attributes, e.g. to make memory read-only (or no-exec, or exec-only, etc.) without having to modify memslots. Introduce the KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES ioctl, advertised by KVM_CAP_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES, to allow userspace to set the per-page memory attributes to a guest memory range. Use an xarray to store the per-page attributes internally, with a naive, not fully optimized implementation, i.e. prioritize correctness over performance for the initial implementation. Use bit 3 for the PRIVATE attribute so that KVM can use bits 0-2 for RWX attributes/protections in the future, e.g. to give userspace fine-grained control over read, write, and execute protections for guest memory. Provide arch hooks for handling attribute changes before and after common code sets the new attributes, e.g. x86 will use the "pre" hook to zap all relevant mappings, and the "post" hook to track whether or not hugepages can be used to map the range. To simplify the implementation wrap the entire sequence with kvm_mmu_invalidate_{begin,end}() even though the operation isn't strictly guaranteed to be an invalidation. For the initial use case, x86 *will* always invalidate memory, and preventing arch code from creating new mappings while the attributes are in flux makes it much easier to reason about the correctness of consuming attributes. It's possible that future usages may not require an invalidation, e.g. if KVM ends up supporting RWX protections and userspace grants _more_ protections, but again opt for simplicity and punt optimizations to if/when they are needed.
