[PATCH v7 1/2] x86/mm: add API for marking only part of a MMIO page read only



In some cases, only few registers on a page needs to be write-protected.
Examples include USB3 console (64 bytes worth of registers) or MSI-X's
PBA table (which doesn't need to span the whole table either), although
in the latter case the spec forbids placing other registers on the same
page. Current API allows only marking whole pages pages read-only,
which sometimes may cover other registers that guest may need to
write into.

Currently, when a guest tries to write to an MMIO page on the
mmio_ro_ranges, it's either immediately crashed on EPT violation - if
that's HVM, or if PV, it gets #PF. In case of Linux PV, if access was
from userspace (like, /dev/mem), it will try to fixup by updating page
tables (that Xen again will force to read-only) and will hit that #PF
again (looping endlessly). Both behaviors are undesirable if guest could
actually be allowed the write.

Introduce an API that allows marking part of a page read-only. Since
sub-page permissions are not a thing in page tables (they are in EPT,
but not granular enough), do this via emulation (or simply page fault
handler for PV) that handles writes that are supposed to be allowed.
The new subpage_mmio_ro_add() takes a start physical address and the
region size in bytes. Both start address and the size need to be 8-byte
aligned, as a practical simplification (allows using smaller bitmask,
and a smaller granularity isn't really necessary right now).
It will internally add relevant pages to mmio_ro_ranges, but if either
start or end address is not page-aligned, it additionally adds that page
to a list for sub-page R/O handling. The list holds a bitmask which
qwords are supposed to be read-only and an address where page is mapped
for write emulation - this mapping is done only on the first access. A
plain list is used instead of more efficient structure, because there
isn't supposed to be many pages needing this precise r/o control.

The mechanism this API is plugged in is slightly different for PV and
HVM. For both paths, it's plugged into mmio_ro_emulated_write(). For PV,
it's already called for #PF on read-only MMIO page. For HVM however, EPT
violation on p2m_mmio_direct page results in a direct domain_crash() for
non hardware domains.  To reach mmio_ro_emulated_write(), change how
write violations for p2m_mmio_direct are handled - specifically, check
if they relate to such partially protected page via
subpage_mmio_write_accept() and if so, call hvm_emulate_one_mmio() for
them too. This decodes what guest is trying write and finally calls
mmio_ro_emulated_write(). The EPT write violation is detected as
npfec.write_access and npfec.present both being true (similar to other
places), which may cover some other (future?) cases - if that happens,
emulator might get involved unnecessarily, but since it's limited to
pages marked with subpage_mmio_ro_add() only, the impact is minimal.
Both of those paths need an MFN to which guest tried to write (to check
which part of the page is supposed to be read-only, and where
the page is mapped for writes). This information currently isn't
available directly in mmio_ro_emulated_write(), but in both cases it is
already resolved somewhere higher in the call tree. Pass it down to
mmio_ro_emulated_write() via new mmio_ro_emulate_ctxt.mfn field.

This may give a bit more access to the instruction emulator to HVM
guests (the change in hvm_hap_nested_page_fault()), but only for pages
explicitly marked with subpage_mmio_ro_add() - so, if the guest has a
passed through a device partially used by Xen.
As of the next patch, it applies only configuration explicitly
documented as not security supported.

The subpage_mmio_ro_add() function cannot be called with overlapping
ranges, and on pages already added to mmio_ro_ranges separately.
Successful calls would result in correct handling, but error paths may
result in incorrect state (like pages removed from mmio_ro_ranges too
early). Debug build has asserts for relevant cases.

Shadow mode is not tested, but I don't expect it to work differently than
HAP in areas related to this patch.

Changes in v7:
- refuse misaligned start in release build too, to have release build
  running what was tested in debug build
- simplify return from subpage_mmio_ro_add_page
Changes in v6:
- fix return type of subpage_mmio_find_page()
- change 'iter' pointer to 'new_entry' bool and move list_add()
- comment why different error handling for unaligned start / size
- code style
Changes in v5:
- use subpage_mmio_find_page helper, simplifying several functions
- use LIST_HEAD_RO_AFTER_INIT
- don't use subpage_ro_lock in __init
- drop #ifdef in mm.h
- return error on unaligned size in subpage_mmio_ro_add() instead of
  extending the size (in release build)
Changes in v4:
- rename SUBPAGE_MMIO_RO_ALIGN to MMIO_RO_SUBPAGE_GRAN
- guard subpage_mmio_write_accept with CONFIG_HVM, as it's used only
  there
- rename ro_qwords to ro_elems
- use unsigned arguments for subpage_mmio_ro_remove_page()
- use volatile for __iomem
- do not set mmio_ro_ctxt.mfn for mmcfg case
- comment where fields of mmio_ro_ctxt are used
- use bool for result of __test_and_set_bit
- do not open-code mfn_to_maddr()
- remove leftover RCU
- mention hvm_hap_nested_page_fault() explicitly in the commit message
Changes in v3:
- use unsigned int for loop iterators
- use __set_bit/__clear_bit when under spinlock
- avoid ioremap() under spinlock
- do not cast away const
- handle unaligned parameters in release build
- comment fixes
- remove RCU - the add functions are __init and actual usage is only
  much later after domains are running
- add checks overlapping ranges in debug build and document the
  limitations
- change subpage_mmio_ro_add() so the error path doesn't potentially
  remove pages from mmio_ro_ranges
- move printing message to avoid one goto in
  subpage_mmio_write_emulate()
Changes in v2:
- Simplify subpage_mmio_ro_add() parameters
- add to mmio_ro_ranges from within subpage_mmio_ro_add()
- use ioremap() instead of caller-provided fixmap
- use 8-bytes granularity (largest supported single write) and a bitmap
  instead of a rangeset
- clarify commit message
- change how it's plugged in for HVM domain, to not change the behavior for
  read-only parts (keep it hitting domain_crash(), instead of ignoring
  write)
- remove unused subpage_mmio_ro_remove()
