Are you sure about this?
This is what I am thinking will happen, I might be wrong but I am not sure:
Due to kvm internal memory slot at 0xfee00000 userspace is very unlikely
to put a memslot over this range - let assume that userspace didn't map
RAM over the 0xfee00000 page.
In fact if userspace did try to put the memory slot either first vCPU creation
will fail because this is where we create the private memslot,
or userspace memslot will fail if it was added later.
So assuming no guest RAM in the area, the correct x86 behavier should be:
xapic enabled - 0xfee00xxx acts as APIC
x2apic enabled - 0xfee00xxx is unmapped mmio, thus writes are dropped, reads return 0xFFFFFFFF.
However currently what will happen with APICv/AVIC (regardless of the hybrid mode):
1. we start with xapic, the guest accesses it once, and that populates our SPTE entry
for 0xfee00000, but since xapic is enabled, read/writes to it are redirected to apic backing page
(the spte is ignored)
2. guest changes mode to x2apic (even on all vCPUS).
That doesn't currently change any inhibits or so,
thus I *think* only vmx_set_virtual_apic_mode is called, and it doesn't flush the SPTE
for 0xfee00000, it remains present and writable.
3. guest accesses the 0xfee00xxx, assuming APICv/x2avic, the hardware won't redirect
the access to apic backing page, but will instead just use that SPTE and let the guest
read/write the private page that we mapped in the range, which is wrong.
Am I missing something?
Also I somewhat doen't like the partial inhibit - it is to some extent misleading.
I don't have a very strong option on using the inhibit, but its meaning just feels a bit overloaded.
So why not to do it this way:
1. zap the SPTE always when switching apic mode (e.g move the code in
__kvm_set_or_clear_apicv_inhibit to a common funtion)
2. make kvm_faultin_pfn check a flag 'any vcpu enabled x2apic' and refuse
to re-install that spte?
Something like that (only compile tested, and likely misses memory barriers):
