It might have worked in this case since PT_PRESENT_MASK is 1, but let's

Some guests (Solaris) do not set up all four pdptrs, but leave some invalid.
kvm incorrectly treated these as valid page directories, pinning the
wrong pages and causing general confusion.
Fix by checking the valid bit of a pae pdpte. This closes sourceforge bug
1698922.

Mapping a guest page to a host page is a common operation. Currently,
one has first to find the memory slot where the page belongs (gfn_to_memslot),
then locate the page itself (gfn_to_page()).
This is clumsy, and also won't work well with memory aliases. So simplify
gfn_to_page() not to require memory slot translation first, and instead do it
internally.

The kvm mmu keeps a shadow page for hugepage pdes; if several such pdes map
the same physical address, they share the same shadow page. This is a fairly
common case (kernel mappings on i386 nonpae Linux, for example).
However, if the two pdes map the same memory but with different permissions, kvm
will happily use the cached shadow page. If the access through the more
permissive pde will occur after the access to the strict pde, an endless pagefault
loop will be generated and the guest will make no progress.
Fix by making the access permissions part of the cache lookup key.
The fix allows Xen pae to boot on kvm and run guest domains.
Thanks to Jeremy Fitzhardinge for reporting the bug and testing the fix.

The initial, noncaching, version of the kvm mmu flushed the all nonglobal
shadow page table translations (much like a native tlb flush). The new
implementation flushes translations only when they change, rendering global
pte tracking superfluous.
This removes the unused tracking mechanism and storage space.

The current string pio interface communicates using guest virtual addresses,
relying on userspace to translate addresses and to check permissions. This
interface cannot fully support guest smp, as the check needs to take into
account two pages at one in case an unaligned string transfer straddles a
page boundary.
Change the interface not to communicate guest addresses at all; instead use
a buffer page (mmaped by userspace) and do transfers there. The kernel
manages the virtual to physical translation and can perform the checks
atomically by taking the appropriate locks.

Nonpae guest pdes are shadowed by two pae ptes, so we double the offset
twice: once to account for the pte size difference, and once because we
need to shadow pdes for a single guest pde.
But when writing to the upper guest pde we also need to truncate the
lower bits, otherwise the multiply shifts these bits into the pde index
and causes an access to the wrong shadow pde. If we're at the end of the
page (accessing the very last guest pde) we can even overflow into the
next host page and oops.

PAGE_MASK is an unsigned long, so using it to mask physical addresses on
i386 (which are 64-bit wide) leads to truncation. This can result in
page->private of unrelated memory pages being modified, with disasterous
results.
Fix by not using PAGE_MASK for physical addresses; instead calculate
the correct value directly from PAGE_SIZE. Also fix a similar BUG_ON().

KVM shadow page tables are always in pae mode, regardless of the guest
setting. This means that a guest pde (mapping 4MB of memory) is mapped
to two shadow pdes (mapping 2MB each).
When the guest writes to a pte or pde, we intercept the write and emulate it.
We also remove any shadowed mappings corresponding to the write. Since the
mmu did not account for the doubling in the number of pdes, it removed the
wrong entry, resulting in a mismatch between shadow page tables and guest
page tables, followed shortly by guest memory corruption.
This patch fixes the problem by detecting the special case of writing to
a non-pae pde and adjusting the address and number of shadow pdes zapped
accordingly.

Check pte permission bits in walk_addr(), instead of scattering the checks all
over the code. This has the following benefits:
1. We no longer set the accessed bit for accessed which fail permission checks.
2. Setting the accessed bit is simplified.
3. Under some circumstances, we used to pretend a page fault was fixed when
it would actually fail the access checks. This caused an unnecessary
vmexit.
4. The error code for guest page faults is now correct.
The fix helps netbsd further along booting, and allows kvm to pass the new mmu
testsuite.

If we reduce permissions on a pte, we must flush the cached copy of the pte
from the guest's tlb.
This is implemented at the moment by flushing the entire guest tlb, and can be
improved by flushing just the relevant virtual address, if it is known.

The mmu sometimes needs memory for reverse mapping and parent pte chains.
however, we can't allocate from within the mmu because of the atomic context.
So, move the allocations to a central place that can be executed before the
main mmu machinery, where we can bail out on failure before any damage is
done.

As the mmu write protects guest page table, we emulate those writes. Since
they are not mmio, there is no need to go to userspace to perform them.

Define a hashtable for caching shadow page tables. Look up the cache on
context switch (cr3 change) or during page faults.
The key to the cache is a combination of
- the guest page table frame number
- the number of paging levels in the guest
* we can cache real mode, 32-bit mode, pae, and long mode page
tables simultaneously. this is useful for smp bootup.
- the guest page table table
* some kernels use a page as both a page table and a page directory. this
allows multiple shadow pages to exist for that page, one per level
- the "quadrant"
* 32-bit mode page tables span 4MB, whereas a shadow page table spans
2MB. similarly, a 32-bit page directory spans 4GB, while a shadow
page directory spans 1GB. the quadrant allows caching up to 4 shadow page
tables for one guest page in one level.
- a "metaphysical" bit
* for real mode, and for pse pages, there is no guest page table, so set
the bit to avoid write protecting the page.

Keep in each host page frame's page->private a pointer to the shadow pte which
maps it. If there are multiple shadow ptes mapping the page, set bit 0 of
page->private, and use the rest as a pointer to a linked list of all such

Reverse mappings are needed because we when we cache shadow page tables, we

The fix is to set up the MMU state in two phases: kvm_mmu_create() and

(NOTE: free_vcpus does an kvm_mmu_destroy() call so there's no need for any
extra teardown branch on allocation/init failure here.)
