KVM: x86: Virtualize LAM for user pointer
Add support to allow guests to set the new CR3 control bits for Linear
Address Masking (LAM) and add implementation to get untagged address for
user pointers.
LAM modifies the canonical check for 64-bit linear addresses, allowing
software to use the masked/ignored address bits for metadata. Hardware
masks off the metadata bits before using the linear addresses to access
memory. LAM uses two new CR3 non-address bits, LAM_U48 (bit 62) and
LAM_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 the guest is
misbehaving.
