Current code validating mmio #PF is buggy, it was spotted by Pavel
Shirshov, the bug is that qemu complained with "KVM: unknown exit,
hardware reason 31" and KVM shown these info:
[84245.284948] EPT: Misconfiguration.
[84245.285056] EPT: GPA: 0xfeda848
[84245.285154] ept_misconfig_inspect_spte: spte 0x5eaef50107 level 4
[84245.285344] ept_misconfig_inspect_spte: spte 0x5f5fadc107 level 3
[84245.285532] ept_misconfig_inspect_spte: spte 0x5141d18107 level 2
[84245.285723] ept_misconfig_inspect_spte: spte 0x52e40dad77 level 1
This is because we got a mmio #PF and the handler see the mmio spte
becomes normal (points to the ram page)
However, this is valid after introducing fast mmio spte invalidation which
increases the generation-number instead of zapping mmio sptes, a example
is as follows:
1. QEMU drops mmio region by adding a new memslot
2. invalidate all mmio sptes
3.
VCPU 0 VCPU 1
access the invalid mmio spte
access the region originally was MMIO before
set the spte to the normal ram map
mmio #PF
check the spte and see it becomes normal ram mapping !!!
The first patch simply fixes the bug by dropping the validation in mmio
handler which is good for backport
Later patches enable fully check reserved bits for shadow page table
entries, since shadow page table and guest page table have the some
format, this patches reuse the logic which checks reserved bits on
guest pte to check sptes
