When PAGE_NOT_PRESENT event is injected as #PF (for now) in the guest kernel gets all the registers of the userspace process (except for CR2 which is replaced with a token). In case it is not trivial to extract accessed GFN from this data we can extend the shared APF structure and add it there, KVM has it when it queues APF. > >> so in case of -EFAULT we can just 'crash' >> the guest and the required information can easily be obtained from >> kdump?

But KVM knows which token caused the -EFAULT when we exit to userspace (and we can pass this information to it) so to debug the situation you take this token and then explore the kdump searching for what's associated with this exact token. -- Vitaly
