If the kernel uses a 2MB or larger directmap mapping to write to an
address, and that mapping contains any 4KB pages that are set to private
in the RMP table, an RMP #PF will trigger and cause a host crash.
SNP-aware code that owns the private PFNs will never attempt such a
write, but other kernel tasks writing to other PFNs in the range may
trigger these checks inadvertantly due to writing to those other PFNs
via a large directmap mapping that happens to also map a private PFN.

Prevent this by splitting any 2MB+ mappings that might end up containing
a mix of private/shared PFNs as a result of a subsequent RMPUPDATE for
the PFN/rmp_level passed in.

Another way to handle this would be to limit the directmap to 4K
mappings in the case of hosts that support SNP, but there is potential
risk for performance regressions of certain host workloads. Handling it
as-needed results in the directmap being slowly split over time, which
lessens the risk of a performance regression since the more the
directmap gets split as a result of running SNP guests, the more likely
the host is being used primarily to run SNP guests, where a mostly-split
directmap is actually beneficial since there is less chance of TLB
flushing and cpa_lock contention being needed to perform these splits.

Cases where a host knows in advance it wants to primarily run SNP guests
and wishes to pre-split the directmap can be handled by adding a
tuneable in the future, but preliminary testing has shown this to not
provide a signficant benefit in the common case of guests that are
backed primarily by 2MB THPs, so it does not seem to be warranted
currently and can be added later if a need arises in the future.

Again, something I asked the last time but no reply:

Looking at Documentation/arch/x86/x86_64/mm.rst, the direct map starts
at page_offset_base so this here should at least check

	if (vaddr < __PAGE_OFFSET)
		return 0;

I'm not sure about the upper end. Right now, the adjusting should not
happen only for the direct map but also for the whole kernel address
space range because we don't want to cause any mismatch between page
mappings anywhere.

Which means, this function should be called adjust_kernel_map() or so...

Hmmm.

vaddr comes from pfn_to_kaddr(pfn), i.e. __va(paddr), so it will
necessarily be a direct-mapped address above __PAGE_OFFSET.

For upper-end, a pfn_valid(pfn) check might suffice, since only a valid
PFN would have a possibly-valid mapping wthin the directmap range.

These are PFNs that are owned/allocated-to the caller. Due to the nature
of the directmap it's possible non-owners would write to a mapping that
overlaps, but vmalloc()/etc. would not create mappings for any pages that
were not specifically part of an allocation that belongs to the caller,
so I don't see where there's any chance for an overlap there. And the caller
of these functions would not be adjusting directmap for PFNs that might be
mapped into other kernel address ranges like kernel-text/etc unless the
caller was specifically making SNP-aware adjustments to those ranges, in
which case it would be responsible for making those other adjustments,
or implementing the necessary helpers/etc.

I'm not aware of such cases in the current code, and I don't think it makes
sense to attempt to try to handle them here generically until such a case
arises, since it will likely involve more specific requirements than what
we can anticipate from a theoretical/generic standpoint.

Looking at it, yap, that could be a sensible thing to check.

Why does any of that matter?

If you can make this helper as generic as possible now, why don't you?

Then that's a different story. If it will likely involve more specific
handling, then that function should deal with pfns for which it can DTRT
and for others warn loudly so that the code gets fixed in time.

IOW, then it should check for the upper pfn of the direct map here and
we have two, depending on the page sizes used...

Thx.

In this case, it would make it more difficult to handle things
efficiently and implement proper bounds-checking/etc. For instance, if
the caller *knows* they are doing something different like splitting a
kernel-text mapping, then we could implement proper bounds-checking
based on expected ranges, and implement any special handling associated
with that use-case, and capture that in a nice/understandable
adjust_kernel_text_mapping() helper. Or maybe if these are adjustments
for non-static/non-linear mappings, it makes more sense to be given an
HVA rather than PFN, etc., since we might not have any sort of reverse-map
structure/function than can be used to do the PFN->HVA lookups efficiently.

It's just a lot to guess at. And just the directmap splitting itself has
been the source of so much discussion, investigation, re-work, benchmarking,
etc., that it hints that implementing similar handling for other use-cases
really needs to have a clear and necessary purpose and set of requirements 
hat can be evaluated/tested before enabling them and reasonably expecting
them to work as expected.

Is something like this close to what you're thinking? I've re-tested with
SNP guests and it seems to work as expected.

Note that I removed the WARN_ON_ONCE(), which I think was a bit overzealous

warranted, since it returns error for a use-case that might in theory become
valid on future hardware, but would result in unecessary 1GB->2MB directmap
splitting if we were to try to implement handling for that before it's
actually needed (which may well be never).

_text at VA 0xffffffff81000000 is also a valid pfn so no, this is not
enough.

Either this function should not have "direct map" in the name as it
converts *any* valid pfn not just the direct map ones or it should check
whether the pfn belongs to the direct map range.

Thx.

directmap maps all physical memory accessible by kernel, including text
pages, so those are valid PFNs as far as this function is concerned. We
can't generally guard against the caller passing in any random PFN that
might also be mapped into additional address ranges, similarly to how
we can't guard against something doing a write to some random PFN
__va(0x1234) and scribbling over memory that it doesn't own, or just
unmapping the entire directmap range and blowing up the kernel.

The expectation is that the caller is aware of what PFNs it is passing in,
whether those PFNs have additional mappings, and if those mappings are of
concern, implement the necessary handlers if new use-cases are ever
introducted, like the adjust_kernel_text_mapping() example I mentioned
earlier.

This function only splits mappings in the 0xffff888000000000 directmap
range. It would be inaccurate to name it in such a way that suggests
that it does anything else. If a use-case ever arises for splitting
_text mappings at 0xffffffff81000000, or any other ranges, those too
would best served by dedicated helpers adjust_kernel_text_mapping()
that *actually* modify mappings for those virtual ranges, and implement
bounds-checking appropriate for those physical/virtual ranges. The
directmap range maps all kernel-accessible physical memory, so it's
appropriate that our bounds-checking for the purpose of
adjust_direct_map() is all kernel-accessible physical memory. If that
includes PFNs mapped to other virtual ranges as well, the caller needs
to consider that and implement additional helpers as necessary, but
they'd likely *still* need to call adjust_direct_map() to adjust the
directmap range in addition to those other ranges, so even if were
possible to do so reliably, we shouldn't try to selectively reject any
PFN ranges beyond what mm.rst suggests is valid for 0xffff888000000000.

Why don't you have a look at

Documentation/arch/x86/x86_64/mm.rst

to sync up on the nomenclature first?

   ffff888000000000 | -119.5  TB | ffffc87fffffffff |   64 TB | direct mapping of all physical memory (page_offset_base)

   ...

   ffffffff80000000 |   -2    GB | ffffffff9fffffff |  512 MB | kernel text mapping, mapped to physical address 0

and so on.

> The expectation is that the caller is aware of what PFNs it is passing in,

There are no expectations. Have you written them down somewhere?

> This function only splits mappings in the 0xffff888000000000 directmap
> range.

This function takes any PFN it gets passed in as it is. I don't care
who its users are now or in the future and whether they pay attention
what they pass into - it needs to be properly defined.

Mike, please get on with the program. Use the right naming for the
function and basta.

Ok, we solved it offlist, here's the final version I have. It has

Subject: [PATCH] x86/sev: Adjust the directmap to avoid inadvertent RMP faults

If the kernel uses a 2MB or larger directmap mapping to write to an
address, and that mapping contains any 4KB pages that are set to private
in the RMP table, an RMP #PF will trigger and cause a host crash.

SNP-aware code that owns the private PFNs will never attempt such
a write, but other kernel tasks writing to other PFNs in the range may
trigger these checks inadvertently due to writing to those other PFNs
via a large directmap mapping that happens to also map a private PFN.

Prevent this by splitting any 2MB+ mappings that might end up containing
a mix of private/shared PFNs as a result of a subsequent RMPUPDATE for
the PFN/rmp_level passed in.

Another way to handle this would be to limit the directmap to 4K
mappings in the case of hosts that support SNP, but there is potential
risk for performance regressions of certain host workloads.

Handling it as-needed results in the directmap being slowly split over
time, which lessens the risk of a performance regression since the more
the directmap gets split as a result of running SNP guests, the more
likely the host is being used primarily to run SNP guests, where
a mostly-split directmap is actually beneficial since there is less
chance of TLB flushing and cpa_lock contention being needed to perform
these splits.

Cases where a host knows in advance it wants to primarily run SNP guests

provide a signficant benefit in the common case of guests that are
