Add support to allow guests to set two new CR3 non-address control bits for
guests to enable the new Intel CPU feature Linear Address Masking (LAM) on user
pointers.
LAM modifies the checking that is applied to 64-bit linear addresses, allowing
software to use of the untranslated address bits for metadata and masks the
metadata bits before using them as linear addresses to access memory. LAM uses
two new CR3 non-address bits LAM_U48 (bit 62) and AM_U57 (bit 61) to configure
LAM for user pointers. LAM also changes VMENTER to allow both bits to be set in
VMCS's HOST_CR3 and GUEST_CR3 for virtualization.
When EPT is on, CR3 is not trapped by KVM and it's up to the guest to set any of
the two LAM control bits. However, when EPT is off, the actual CR3 used by the
guest is generated from the shadow MMU root which is different from the CR3 that
is *set* by the guest, and KVM needs to manually apply any active control bits
to VMCS's GUEST_CR3 based on the cached CR3 *seen* by the guest.
KVM manually checks guest's CR3 to make sure it points to a valid guest physical
address (i.e. to support smaller MAXPHYSADDR in the guest). Extend this check
to allow the two LAM control bits to be set. After check, LAM bits of guest CR3
will be stripped off to extract guest physical address.
In case of nested, for a guest which supports LAM, both VMCS12's HOST_CR3 and
GUEST_CR3 are allowed to have the new LAM control bits set, i.e. when L0 enters
L1 to emulate a VMEXIT from L2 to L1 or when L0 enters L2 directly. KVM also
manually checks VMCS12's HOST_CR3 and GUEST_CR3 being valid physical address.
Extend such check to allow the new LAM control bits too.
Note, LAM doesn't have a global control bit to turn on/off LAM completely, but
purely depends on hardware's CPUID to determine it can be enabled or not. That
means, when EPT is on, even when KVM doesn't expose LAM to guest, the guest can
still set LAM control bits in CR3 w/o causing problem. This is an unfortunate
virtualization hole. KVM could choose to intercept CR3 in this case and inject
fault but this would hurt performance when running a normal VM w/o LAM support.
This is undesirable. Just choose to let the guest do such illegal thing as the
worst case is guest being killed when KVM eventually find out such illegal
behaviour and that is the guest to blame.
