Subject: [PATCH 00/19] KVM: selftests: Add x86 mmu_role test and cleanups
Date: Tue, 22 Jun 2021 13:05:10 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210622200529.3650424-1-seanjc@google.com> (raw)

The primary intent of this series is to allow x86-64 tests to create
arbitrary hugepages and use the new functionality to abuse x86's CPUID
APIs to test KVM MMU behavior.

The majority of the prep work refactors the selftests APIs related to
memory allocation.  The core memory allocation APIs within the selftests
don't provide defaults for memslot or min virtual address, which has led
to a ridiculous amount of magic and duplicate code.  Literally zero tests
use non-standard values in a meaningful way, and if a test comes along
that has a legitimate use case, it should use lower-level helpers.

Patches 01 and 02 are fixes for bugs found during the refactoring.

As for the mmu_role test itself, the idea is to change the vCPU model
while the guest is running (via KVM_SET_CPUID2) to verify that KVM
reconfigures its MMUs when the vCPU model is changed.  E.g. toggling
guest support for 1gb hugepages and changing guest MAXPHYADDR.

Sadly, the test doesn't pass when KVM is using TDP paging (even with all
my mmu_role fixes) because KVM doesn't fully support manipulating GBPAGES
and MAXPHYADDR (and other CPUID-based properties that affect the MMU)
while the guest is running.  And practically speaking, KVM will never
fully support such behavior becuase (a) there is likely no sane use case,
(b) fixing the issues is very costly (memory consumption), (c) GBPAGES
and potentially other features _can't_ be handled correctly due to lack
of hardware support, and (d) userspace can workaround all issues simply
by deleting a memslot.

All that said, I purposely made the test off-by-default instead of
requiring TDP.  Partly because detecting whether TDP is enabled is a pain
becuase it's per-vendor, but also because running the test with TDP
enabled is still interesting to some extent, e.g. the test will fail, but
it shouldn't crash KVM, trigger WARNs, etc...
