Implement a KVM function for walking host page table in x86 architecture
and stop using lookup_address_in_mm(). lookup_address_in_mm() is basically
lookup_address_in_pgd() in mm. This function suffer from several issues:
- no usage of READ_ONCE(*). This allows multiple dereference of the same
page table entry. The TOCTOU problem because of that may cause kernel
incorrectly thinks a newly generated leaf entry as a nonleaf one and
dereference the content by using its pfn value.
- Incorrect information returned. lookup_address_in_mm() returns pte_t
pointer and level regardless of the 'presentness' of the entry, ie.,
even if an PXE entry is 'non-present', as long as it is not 'none', the
function still returns its level. In comparison, KVM needs the level
information of only 'present' entries. This is a clear bug and may cause
KVM incorrectly regard a non-present PXE entry as a present large page
mapping.
lookup_address_in_mm() and its relevant functions are generally helpful
only for walking kernel addresses that have mostly static mappings and no
page table tear down would happen. Patching this function does not help
other callers, since its return value: a PTE pointer, is NEVER safe to
deference after the function returns.
