Guest memory can either be directly managed by the kernel (i.e. have a "struct
page") or they can simply live outside kernel control (i.e. do not have a
"struct page"). KVM mostly support these two modes, except in a few places
where the code seems to assume that guest memory must have a "struct page".
This patchset introduces a new mapping interface to map guest memory into host
kernel memory which also supports PFN-based memory (i.e. memory without 'struct
page'). It also converts all offending code to this interface or simply
read/write directly from guest memory.
As far as I can see all offending code is now fixed except the APIC-access page
which I will handle in a seperate series along with dropping
kvm_vcpu_gfn_to_page and kvm_vcpu_gpa_to_page from the internal KVM API.
The current implementation of the new API uses memremap to map memory that does
not have a "struct page". This proves to be very slow for high frequency
mappings. Since this does not affect the normal use-case where a "struct page"
is available, the performance of this API will be handled by a seperate patch
series.
v3 -> v4:
- Rebase
- Add a new patch to also fix the newly introduced enhanced VMCS.
v2 -> v3:
- Rebase
- Add a new patch to also fix the newly introduced shadow VMCS.

Read the data directly from guest memory instead of the map->read->unmap
sequence. This also avoids using kvm_vcpu_gpa_to_page() and kmap() which
assumes that there is a "struct page" for guest memory.

Use kvm_vcpu_map when mapping the posted interrupt descriptor table since
using kvm_vcpu_gpa_to_page() and kmap() will only work for guest memory
that has a "struct page".
One additional semantic change is that the virtual host mapping lifecycle
has changed a bit. It now has the same lifetime of the pinning of the
interrupt descriptor table page on the host side.

From: Filippo Sironi <[email protected]>
cmpxchg_gpte() calls get_user_pages_fast() to retrieve the number of
pages and the respective struct page to map in the kernel virtual
address space.
This doesn't work if get_user_pages_fast() is invoked with a userspace
virtual address that's backed by PFNs outside of kernel reach (e.g., when
limiting the kernel memory with mem= in the command line and using
/dev/mem to map memory).
If get_user_pages_fast() fails, look up the VMA that back the userspace
virtual address, compute the PFN and the physical address, and map it in
the kernel virtual address space with memremap().

Use kvm_vcpu_map when mapping the virtual APIC page since using
kvm_vcpu_gpa_to_page() and kmap() will only work for guest memory that has
a "struct page".
One additional semantic change is that the virtual host mapping lifecycle
has changed a bit. It now has the same lifetime of the pinning of the
virtual APIC page on the host side.

2.7.4
In KVM, specially for nested guests, there is a dominant pattern of:
=> map guest memory -> do_something -> unmap guest memory
In addition to all this unnecessarily noise in the code due to boiler plate
code, most of the time the mapping function does not properly handle memory
that is not backed by "struct page". This new guest mapping API encapsulate
most of this boiler plate code and also handles guest memory that is not
backed by "struct page".
The current implementation of this API is using memremap for memory that is
not backed by a "struct page" which would lead to a huge slow-down if it
was used for high-frequency mapping operations. The API does not have any
effect on current setups where guest memory is backed by a "struct page".
Further patches are going to also introduce a pfn-cache which would
significantly improve the performance of the memremap case.

If we fail to read, VMXERR_VMPTRLD_INCORRECT_VMCS_REVISION_ID seems t be
the right thing to do (I remember that reading from non-existent memory
returns all 1's).
I somewhat dislike that we are converting -ENOMEM to
VMXERR_VMPTRLD_INCORRECT_VMCS_REVISION_ID. Isn't there a way we can
report -ENOMEM to user space? (or do we really want to avoid crashing
the guest here? if so, comment + print a warning or something like that?)

So we've written to the page but released it as clean ... shouldn't that
have been kvm_release_page_dirty?
... also, shouldn't there have been a mark_page_dirty() ?
(to mark it dirty for migration?)
Your patch certainly fixes both conditions (if it was in fact broken).
In that case, we should maybe add that to the cover letter.

Isn't this a lot slower than kmap() when there is a struct page?

I agree with David that this isn't the right thing to do for -ENOMEM.

How (if any) does it affect performance?

This probably needs to come in two versions, dirty and clean. I'll do
the adjustment when I queue this for 4.22.

This is for Amazon's super special userspace sauce. It doesn't affect

It wouldn't be slower if he read directly into cached_vmcs12. However,
as it is now, it's doing two reads instead of one. By doing this, the
ENOMEM case also disappears.

This will need a few more changes (especially given the review remarks
for patch 2), so please also add the separate dirty/clean unmap APIs in
the next revision.
In order to rebase against the vmx.c split, my suggestion is that you
first rebase to the last commit before nested.c was separated, then on
the immediately following one, and then on the top of the tree. Most of
the time, "patch -p1 arch/x86/kvm/vmx/nested.c <
.git/rebase-apply/patch" will do the right thing.

I can not use "cached_vmcs12" directly here because its old contents will be
used for "nested_release_vmcs12(..)" a few lines below (i.e. it will be flushed
into guest memory).
I can just switch this to the new API introduced a few patches later and that
would have the same semantics for normal use-cases as before.
