[PATCH v4 13/14] KVM: ARM: Handle guest faults in KVM

Christoffer Dall c.dall at virtualopensystems.com
Sat Nov 10 10:43:42 EST 2012


Handles the guest faults in KVM by mapping in corresponding user pages
in the 2nd stage page tables.

We invalidate the instruction cache by MVA whenever we map a page to the
guest (no, we cannot only do it when we have an iabt because the guest
may happily read/write a page before hitting the icache) if the hardware
uses VIPT or PIPT.  In the latter case, we can invalidate only that
physical page.  In the first case, all bets are off and we simply must
invalidate the whole affair.  Not that VIVT icaches are tagged with
vmids, and we are out of the woods on that one.  Alexander Graf was nice
enough to remind us of this massive pain.

There is also  a subtle bug hidden somewhere, which we currently hide by
marking all pages dirty even when the pages are only mapped read-only.  The
current hypothesis is that marking pages dirty may exercise the IO system and
data cache more and therefore we don't see stale data in the guest, but it's
purely guesswork.  The bug is manifested by seemingly random kernel crashes in
guests when the host is under extreme memory pressure and swapping is enabled.
