[PATCH v3 00/10] arm64: ptdump: View the second stage page-tables

[Sebastian Ene]

Hi,

This can be used as a debugging tool for dumping the second stage
page-tables.

When CONFIG_PTDUMP_STAGE2_DEBUGFS is enabled, ptdump registers 
'/sys/debug/kvm/<guest_id>/stage2_page_tables' entry with debugfs
upon guest creation. This allows userspace tools (eg. cat) to dump the
stage-2 pagetables by reading the registered file.

Reading the debugfs file shows stage-2 memory ranges in following format:
<IPA range> <size> <descriptor type> <access permissions> <mem_attributes>

Under pKVM configuration(kvm-arm.mode=protected) ptdump registers an entry
for the host stage-2 pagetables in the following path:
/sys/debug/kvm/host_stage2_page_tables/

The tool interprets the pKVM ownership annotation stored in the invalid
entries and dumps to the console the ownership information. To be able
to access the host stage-2 page-tables from the kernel, a new hypervisor
call was introduced which allows us to snapshot the page-tables in a host
provided buffer. The hypervisor call is hidden behind CONFIG_NVHE_EL2_DEBUG
as this should be used under debugging environment.

Changelog:

  v2 -> v3:
  * register the stage-2 debugfs entry for the host under
    /sys/debug/kvm/host_stage2_page_tables and in
    /sys/debug/kvm/<guest_id>/stage2_page_tables for guests.

  * don't use a static array for parsing the attributes description,
    generate it dynamically based on the number of pagetable levels

  * remove the lock that was guarding the seq_file private inode data,
    and keep the data private to the open file session.

  * minor fixes & renaming of CONFIG_NVHE_EL2_PTDUMP_DEBUGFS to
    CONFIG_PTDUMP_STAGE2_DEBUGFS

  v1 -> v2:
  * use the stage-2 pagetable walker for dumping descriptors instead of
    the one provided by ptdump.

  * support for guests pagetables dumping under VHE/nVHE non-protected

Thanks,
