When SEV-SNP is enabled globally in the system, a write from the hypervisor
can raise an RMP violation. We can resolve the RMP violation by splitting
the virtual address to a lower page level.
e.g
- guest made a page shared in the RMP entry so that the hypervisor
can write to it.
- the hypervisor has mapped the pfn as a large page. A write access
will cause an RMP violation if one of the pages within the 2MB region
is a guest private page.
The above RMP violation can be resolved by simply splitting the large
page.
The architecture specific code will read the RMP entry to determine
if the fault can be resolved by splitting and propagating the request
to split the page by setting newly introduced fault flag
(FAULT_FLAG_PAGE_SPLIT). If the fault cannot be resolved by splitting,
then a SIGBUS signal is sent to terminate the process.
