[PATCH v2 0/6] KVM: x86: Apply NX mitigation more precisely

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

 



Patch 6 from Mingwei is the end goal of the series.  KVM incorrectly
assumes that the NX huge page mitigation is the only scenario where KVM
will create a non-leaf page instead of a huge page.   Precisely track
(via kvm_mmu_page) if a non-huge page is being forced and use that info
to avoid unnecessarily forcing smaller page sizes in
disallowed_hugepage_adjust().

v2: Rebase, tweak a changelog accordingly.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220409003847.819686-1-seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx

Mingwei Zhang (1):
  KVM: x86/mmu: explicitly check nx_hugepage in
    disallowed_hugepage_adjust()

Sean Christopherson (5):
  KVM: x86/mmu: Tag disallowed NX huge pages even if they're not tracked
  KVM: x86/mmu: Properly account NX huge page workaround for nonpaging
    MMUs
  KVM: x86/mmu: Set disallowed_nx_huge_page in TDP MMU before setting
    SPTE
  KVM: x86/mmu: Track the number of TDP MMU pages, but not the actual
    pages
  KVM: x86/mmu: Add helper to convert SPTE value to its shadow page
