[PATCH v3 0/7] KVM: x86/mmu: nVMX: 5-level paging cleanup and enabling

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Clean up MMU code related to 5 level paging, expose 5-level EPT to L1, and
additional clean up on top (mostly renames of functions/variables that
caused me no end of confusion when trying to figure out what was broken
at various times).

v3:
  - Dropped fixes for existing 5-level bugs (merged for 5.6).
  - Use get_guest_pgd() instead of get_guest_cr3_or_eptp(). [Paolo]
  - Add patches to fix MMU role calculation to play nice with 5-level
    paging without requiring additional CR4.LA_57 bit.

v2:
  - Increase the nested EPT array sizes to accomodate 5-level paging in
    the patch that adds support for 5-level nested EPT, not in the bug
    fix for 5-level shadow paging.

Sean Christopherson (7):
  KVM: x86/mmu: Don't drop level/direct from MMU role calculation
  KVM: x86/mmu: Drop kvm_mmu_extended_role.cr4_la57 hack
  KVM: nVMX: Allow L1 to use 5-level page walks for nested EPT
  KVM: nVMX: Rename nested_ept_get_cr3() to nested_ept_get_eptp()
  KVM: nVMX: Rename EPTP validity helper and associated variables
  KVM: x86/mmu: Rename kvm_mmu->get_cr3() to ->get_guest_pgd()
  KVM: nVMX: Drop unnecessary check on ept caps for execute-only
