[v3,kvmtool,10/11] Introduce reserved memory regions

Commit Message

Jean-Philippe Brucker Oct. 31, 2017, 7:14 p.m. UTC

When passing devices to the guest, there might be address ranges
unavailable to the device. For instance, if address 0x10000000 corresponds
to an MSI doorbell, any transaction from a device to that address will be
directed to the MSI controller and might not even reach the IOMMU.
0x10000000 is therefore reserved by the physical IOMMU in the guest's
physical space.

This patch introduces a simple API to register reserved ranges of
addresses that should not or cannot be provided to the guest. For the
moment it only checks that a reserved range does not overlap any user
memory (we don't consider MMIO) and aborts otherwise.

It should be possible instead to poke holes in the guest-physical memory
map and report them via the architecture's preferred route:
* ARM and PowerPC can add reserved-memory nodes to the DT they provide to
  the guest.
* x86 could poke holes in the memory map reported with e820. This requires
  to postpone creating the memory map until at least VFIO is initialized.
* MIPS could describe the reserved ranges with the "memmap=mm$ss" kernel
  parameter.

This would also require to call KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION for all memory
regions at the end of kvmtool initialisation. Extra care should be taken
to ensure we don't break any architecture, since they currently rely on
having a linear address space with at most two memory blocks.

This patch doesn't implement any address space carving. If an abort is
encountered, user can try to rebuild kvmtool with different addresses or
change its IOMMU resv regions if possible.
