Commit Message

Originally, we have three code paths that can dirty a page without
vcpu context for X86:

  - init_rmode_identity_map
  - init_rmode_tss
  - kvmgt_rw_gpa

init_rmode_identity_map and init_rmode_tss will be setup on
destination VM no matter what (and the guest cannot even see them), so
it does not make sense to track them at all.

To do this, allow __x86_set_memory_region() to return the userspace
address that just allocated to the caller.  Then in both of the
functions we directly write to the userspace address instead of
calling kvm_write_*() APIs.

Another trivial change is that we don't need to explicitly clear the
identity page table root in init_rmode_identity_map() because no
matter what we'll write to the whole page with 4M huge page entries.

No need to capture the return in 'r'.

Same here.

Not that it really matters, but this should match the behavior of the other
__copy_to_user() calls, i.e. explicitly return -EFAULT.  Or switch the
others to return the result.  The mixed usage is odd.

Another case where capturing the result is unnecessary.  I don't have a
preference as to whether the result of __copy_{to,from}_user() is returned
directly or morphed to -EFAULT, but we should be consistent, especially
within a single patch.

Naming the new 'void __user *hva' would yield a smaller differ and would
probably help readers in the future.

OK, I'll clean all these __copy_to_user() callers in the next version.

I'll see what I get when I rebase.  This series is easy to encounter conflicts
during previous rebases for misterious reasons.  I guess I'll just repost less
frequently so I suffer less from rebase too. :)

Thanks.

+ * __x86_set_memory_region: Setup KVM internal memory slot
+ *
+ * @kvm: the kvm pointer to the VM.
+ * @id: the slot ID to setup.
+ * @gpa: the GPA to install the slot (unused when @size == 0).
+ * @size: the size of the slot. Set to zero to uninstall a slot.
+ *
+ * This function helps to setup a KVM internal memory slot.  Specify
+ * @size > 0 to install a new slot, while @size == 0 to uninstall a
+ * slot.  The return code can be one of the following:
+ *
+ *   HVA:           on success (uninstall will return a bogus HVA)
+ *   -errno:        on error
+ *
+ * The caller should always use IS_ERR() to check the return value
+ * before use.  Note, the KVM internal memory slots are guaranteed to
+ * remain valid and unchanged until the VM is destroyed, i.e., the
+ * GPA->HVA translation will not change.  However, the HVA is a user
+ * address, i.e. its accessibility is not guaranteed, and must be
+ * accessed via __copy_{to,from}_user().
