[PATCH] arm/arm64: KVM: Perform local TLB invalidation when multiplexing vcpus on a single CPU

Marc Zyngier marc.zyngier at arm.com
Mon Oct 24 08:31:28 PDT 2016


Architecturally, TLBs are private to the (physical) CPU they're
associated with. But when multiple vcpus from the same VM are
being multiplexed on the same CPU, the TLBs are not private
to the vcpus (and are actually shared across the VMID).

Let's consider the following scenario:

- vcpu-0 maps PA to VA
- vcpu-1 maps PA' to VA

If run on the same physical CPU, vcpu-1 can hit TLB entries generated
by vcpu-0 accesses, and access the wrong physical page.

The solution to this is to keep a per-VM map of which vcpu ran last
on each given physical CPU, and invalidate local TLBs when switching
to a different vcpu from the same VM.
