This is hopefully the last RFC for implementing fd-based (instead of vma-based) memory for KVM guests. If you want the full background of why we are doing this, please go read the v10 cover letter. With luck, v13 will be a "normal" series that's ready for inclusion. Tagged RFC as there are still several empty changelogs, a lot of missing documentation, and a handful of TODOs. And I haven't tested or proofread this anywhere near as much as I normally would. I am posting even though the remaining TODOs aren't _that_ big so that people can test this new version without having to wait a few weeks to close out the remaining TODOs, i.e. to give us at least some chance of hitting v6.7. The most relevant TODO item for non-KVM folks is that we are planning on dropping the dedicated "gmem" file system. Assuming that pans out, the patch to export security_inode_init_security_anon() should go away. KVM folks, there a few changes I want to highlight and get feedback on, all of which are directly related to the "annotated memory faults" series[*]: - Rename kvm_run.memory to kvm_run.memory_fault - Place "memory_fault" in a separate union - Return -EFAULT or -EHWPOISON with exiting with KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULT The first one is pretty self-explanatory, "run->memory.gpa" looks quite odd and would prevent ever doing something directly with memory. Putting the struct in a separate union is not at all necessary for supporting private memory, it's purely forward looking to Anish series, which wants to annotate (fill memory_fault) on all faults, even if KVM ultimately doesn't exit to userspace (x86 has a few unfortunate flows where KVM can clobber a previous exit, or suppress a memory fault exit). Using a separate union, i.e. different bytes in kvm_run, allows exiting to userspace with both memory_fault and the "normal" union filled, e.g. if KVM starts an MMIO exit and then hits a memory fault exit, the MMIO exit will be preserved. It's unlikely userspace will be able to do anything useful with the info in that case, but the reverse will likely be much more interesting, e.g. if KVM hits a memory fault and then doesn't report it to userspace for whatever reason. As for returning -EFAULT/-EHWPOISON, far too many helpers that touch guest memory, i.e. can "fault", return 0 on success, which makes it all bug impossible to use '0' to signal "exit to userspace". Rather than use '0' for _just_ the case where the guest is accessing private vs. shared, my thought is to use -EFAULT everywhere except for the poisoned page case.

[Paolo] - Return actually number of address spaces for the VM-scoped version of KVM_CAP_MULTI_ADDRESS_SPACE. [Paolo] - Move forward declaration of "struct kvm_gfn_range" to kvm_types.h.

[Paolo, Paul] - Unconditionally advertise a synchronized MMU on PPC. [Paolo] - Check for error return from filemap_grab_folio(). [A - Make max_order optional. [Fuad] - Remove signal injection, zap SPTEs on memory error. [Isaku] - Add KVM_CAP_GUEST_MEMFD. [Xiaoyao] - Invoke kvm_arch_pre_set_memory_attributes() instead of kvm_mmu_unmap_gfn_range(). - Rename kvm_run.memory to kvm_run.memory_fault - Place "memory_fault" in a separate union - Return -EFAULT and -EHWPOISON with KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULT - "Init" run->exit_reason in x86's vcpu_run() v11: - https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230718234512.1690985-1-seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx - Test private<=>shared conversions *without* doing fallocate() - PUNCH_HOLE all memory between iterations of the conversion test so that KVM doesn't retain pages in the guest_memfd - Rename hugepage control to be a very generic ALLOW_HUGEPAGE, instead of giving it a THP or PMD specific name. - Fold in fixes from a lot of people (thank you!) - Zap SPTEs *before* updating attributes to ensure no weirdness, e.g. if KVM handles a page fault and looks at inconsistent attributes - Refactor MMU interaction with attributes updates to reuse much of KVM's framework for mmu_notifiers. v10: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221202061347.1070246-1-chao.p.peng@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Ackerley Tng (1): KVM: selftests: Test KVM exit behavior for private memory/access Chao Peng (8): KVM: Use gfn instead of hva for mmu_notifier_retry KVM: Add KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULT exit to report faults to userspace KVM: Introduce per-page memory attributes KVM: x86: Disallow hugepages when memory attributes are mixed KVM: x86/mmu: Handle page fault for private memory KVM: selftests: Add KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION2 helper KVM: selftests: Expand set_memory_region_test to validate guest_memfd() KVM: selftests: Add basic selftest for guest_memfd() Sean Christopherson (21): KVM: Tweak kvm_hva_range and hva_handler_t to allow reusing for gfn ranges KVM: PPC: Drop dead code related to KVM_ARCH_WANT_MMU_NOTIFIER KVM: PPC: Return '1' unconditionally for KVM_CAP_SYNC_MMU KVM: Convert KVM_ARCH_WANT_MMU_NOTIFIER to CONFIG_KVM_GENERIC_MMU_NOTIFIER KVM: Introduce KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION2 KVM: Add a dedicated mmu_notifier flag for reclaiming freed memory KVM: Drop .on_unlock() mmu_notifier hook KVM: Set the stage for handling only shared mappings in mmu_notifier events mm: Add AS_UNMOVABLE to mark mapping as completely unmovable security: Export security_inode_init_security_anon() for use by KVM KVM: Add KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD ioctl() for guest-specific backing memory KVM: Add transparent hugepage support for dedicated guest memory KVM: x86: "Reset" vcpu->run->exit_reason early in KVM_RUN KVM: Drop superfluous __KVM_VCPU_MULTIPLE_ADDRESS_SPACE macro KVM: Allow arch code to track number of memslot address spaces per VM KVM: x86: Add support for "protected VMs" that can utilize private memory KVM: selftests: Drop unused kvm_userspace_memory_region_find() helper KVM: selftests: Convert lib's mem regions to KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION2 KVM: selftests: Add support for creating private memslots KVM: selftests: Introduce VM "shape" to allow tests to specify the VM type KVM: selftests: Add GUEST_SYNC[1-6] macros for synchronizing more data Vishal Annapurve (3): KVM: selftests: Add helpers to convert guest memory b/w private and shared KVM: selftests: Add helpers to do KVM_HC_MAP_GPA_RANGE hypercalls (x86) KVM: selftests: Add x86-only selftest for private memory conversions Documentation/virt/kvm/api.rst | 116 ++++ arch/arm64/include/asm/kvm_host.h | 2 -
