KVM: nVMX: Sync all PGDs on nested transition with shadow paging
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
[ Upstream commit 07ffaf3 ]

Trigger a full TLB flush on behalf of the guest on nested VM-Enter and
VM-Exit when VPID is disabled for L2.  kvm_mmu_new_pgd() syncs only the
current PGD, which can theoretically leave stale, unsync'd entries in a
previous guest PGD, which could be consumed if L2 is allowed to load CR3
with PCID_NOFLUSH=1.

Rename KVM_REQ_HV_TLB_FLUSH to KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH_GUEST so that it can
be utilized for its obvious purpose of emulating a guest TLB flush.

Note, there is no change the actual TLB flush executed by KVM, even
though the fast PGD switch uses KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH_CURRENT.  When VPID is
disabled for L2, vpid02 is guaranteed to be '0', and thus
nested_get_vpid02() will return the VPID that is shared by L1 and L2.

Generate the request outside of kvm_mmu_new_pgd(), as getting the common
helper to correctly identify which requested is needed is quite painful.
E.g. using KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH_GUEST when nested EPT is in play is wrong as
a TLB flush from the L1 kernel's perspective does not invalidate EPT
mappings.  And, by using KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH_GUEST, nVMX can do future
simplification by moving the logic into nested_vmx_transition_tlb_flush().
