I'm playing around with EPTs and kvm to track execution in the guest.
I've created a separate set of EPTs (and copied the last level entries
from the real tables, minus execute permissions) but I'm not getting
exits where I expect. I also have code in handle_ept_violation to
preserve those permissions for any non-execute ept violations.
Here is what I am calling within a VM Exit handler:
---
kvm_mmu_unload(vcpu);
vcpu->arch.mmu.root_hpa = eptp;
kvm_x86_ops->set_tdp_cr3(vcpu, eptp);
kvm_mmu_load(vcpu);
kvm_flush_remote_tlbs(vcpu->kvm);

I think some of this is overkill, but am I missing something? I think I
may need to flush the rmaps too, but I'm not exactly sure how.
My suggestion is:
1) use tracing and check that kvm_mmu_get_page is being called correctly.
2) there is already code for write protection. Try copying that code
instead of doing a complete reimplementation.

1) Will do, thanks!
2) Got it. Let's say I want to work with a copy of the extended page tables
instead of the original, what would be the best way to do so? Right now I'm
traversing the full tables using root_hpa, but if there's a better way using the
spte interface, I would prefer that.
Thanks so much!
