The main goal of this patch series is to add support for the the restricted guest memory proposali (V9) [1] to kvmtool (V10 was released today [2]). This proposal is still being discussed, but it seems to be close to its final form. The intention is that the restricted guest memory would be used in various confidential computing environments, such as TDX and pKVM. This series is intended to work with the kernel in of the V9 proposal [1], in addition to work to port it to pKVM [3]. It has been tested on qemu/arm64. The patch series is divided as follows: Patches 1--4: General fixes and tidying up Patches 5--18: Move kvmtool from allocating guest vm memory using anonymous mmap to using memfd/ftruncate. The main motivation is to support the fd-based kvm guest memory proposal [1, 2]. It also facilitates using ipc memory sharing should that be needed in the future. It also moves kvmtool to using only a file based backend for guest memory allocation, with the file descriptor being the canonical reference to guest memory. The idea is to refer to all allocated guest memory via a file descriptor. Patches 19--28: Add architecture-independent framework to support restricted guest memory. Patches 29--32: Add pKVM-specific (arm64) support for restricted guest memory. I had posted a subset of this series earlier covering patches 1--18 [4]. This series incorporates fixes and suggestions from Alex into those patches.
