[PATCH 15/18] KVM: Introduce RWX memory attributes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Declare memory attributes to map memory regions as non-readable,
non-writable, and/or non-executable.

The attributes are negated for the following reasons:
 - Setting a 0 memory attribute (attr->attributes == 0) shouldn't
   introduce any access restrictions. For example, when moving from
   private to shared mappings in context of confidential computing.
 - In practice, with negated attributes, a non-private RWX memory
   attribute is analogous to a delete operation. It's a nice outcome, as
   it forces remapping the region with huge-pages, doing the right thing
   for use-cases that have short-lived access restricted regions like
   Hyper-V's VSM.
 - A non-negated version of the flags has no way of expressing
   non-access mapping (NR/NW/NX) without having to introduce an extra
   flag (since 0 isn't available).

 The address and size must be page aligned.  The supported attributes can be
 retrieved via ioctl(KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION) on KVM_CAP_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES.  If
 executed on a VM, KVM_CAP_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES precisely returns the attributes
 supported by that VM.  If executed at system scope, KVM_CAP_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES

+returns all attributes supported by KVM.  The attribute defined at this

+   write-exec mappings are not supported.
+ - KVM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_PRIVATE - Which marks the associated gfn as being guest
+   private memory.
 
 Note, there is no "get" API.  Userspace is responsible for explicitly tracking
 the state of a gfn/page as needed.
