Subject: [PATCH 1/5] KVM: x86/mmu: Introduce a quirk to control memslot zap behavior
Introduce a quirk KVM_X86_QUIRK_SLOT_ZAP_ALL to allow users to choose
between enabling the quirk to invalidate/zap all SPTEs when a memslot is
moved/deleted and disabling the quirk to zap precisely/slowly of only leaf
SPTEs that are within the range of moving/deleting memslot.
The quirk is turned on by default. This is to work around a bug [1] where
the changing the zapping behavior of memslot move/deletion would cause VM
instability for VMs with an Nvidia GPU assigned.
Users have the option to deactivate the quirk for specific VMs that are
unaffected by this bug. Turning off the quirk enables a more precise
zapping of SPTEs within the memory slot range, enhancing performance for
certain scenarios [2] and meeting the functional requirements for TDX.
In TDX, it is crucial that the root page of the private page table remains
unchanged, with leaf entries being zapped before non-leaf entries.
Additionally, any pages dropped in TDX would necessitate their
re-acceptance by the guest.
Previously, an attempt was made to introduce a per-VM capability [3] as a
workaround for the bug. However, this approach was not preferred because
the root cause of the bug remained unidentified. An alternative solution
involving a per-memslot flag [4] was also considered but ultimately
rejected. Sean and Paolo thereafter recommended the implementation of this
quirk and explained that it's the least bad option [5].
For the quirk disabled case, add a new function kvm_mmu_zap_memslot_leafs()
to zap leaf SPTEs within a memslot when moving/deleting a memslot. Rather
than further calling kvm_unmap_gfn_range() for the actual zapping, this
function bypasses the special handling to APIC_ACCESS_PAGE_PRIVATE_MEMSLOT.
This is based on the considerations that
1) The APIC_ACCESS_PAGE_PRIVATE_MEMSLOT cannot be created by users, nor can
it be moved. It is only deleted by KVM when APICv is permanently
inhibited.
2) kvm_vcpu_reload_apic_access_page() effectively does nothing when
APIC_ACCESS_PAGE_PRIVATE_MEMSLOT is deleted.
3) Avoid making all cpus request of KVM_REQ_APIC_PAGE_RELOAD can save on
costly IPIs.
