KVM: x86/mmu: Use synthetic page fault error code to indicate private…
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
… faults

Add and use a synthetic, KVM-defined page fault error code to indicate
whether a fault is to private vs. shared memory.  TDX and SNP have
different mechanisms for reporting private vs. shared, and KVM's
software-protected VMs have no mechanism at all.  Usurp an error code
flag to avoid having to plumb another parameter to kvm_mmu_page_fault()
and friends.

Alternatively, KVM could borrow AMD's PFERR_GUEST_ENC_MASK, i.e. set it
for TDX and software-protected VMs as appropriate, but that would require
*clearing* the flag for SEV and SEV-ES VMs, which support encrypted
memory at the hardware layer, but don't utilize private memory at the
KVM layer.

Opportunistically add a comment to call out that the logic for software-
protected VMs is (and was before this commit) broken for nested MMUs, i.e.
for nested TDP, as the GPA is an L2 GPA.  Punt on trying to play nice with
nested MMUs as there is a _lot_ of functionality that simply doesn't work
for software-protected VMs, e.g. all of the paths where KVM accesses guest
memory need to be updated to be aware of private vs. shared memory.
