Hi, This is the first part of the series which enables dumping of the guest stage-2 pagetables. The support for dumping the host stage-2 pagetables which is pKVM specific will be part of a follow-up series as per the feedback received in v4. When CONFIG_PTDUMP_STAGE2_DEBUGFS is enabled, ptdump registers '/sys/debug/kvm/<guest_id>/stage2_page_tables' entry with debugfs upon guest creation. This allows userspace tools (eg. cat) to dump the stage-2 pagetables by reading the registered file. Reading the debugfs file shows stage-2 memory ranges in following format: <IPA range> <size> <descriptor type> <access permissions> <mem_attributes> Below is the output of a guest stage-2 pagetable mappings running under Qemu: ---[ IPA bits 33 start lvl 2 ]--- 0x0000000000000000-0x0000000080000000 2G PGD 0x0000000080000000-0x0000000080c00000 12M PGD R W AF BLK 0x0000000080c00000-0x0000000080e00000 2M PGD XN R W AF BLK 0x0000000080e00000-0x0000000081000000 2M PGD R W AF BLK 0x0000000081000000-0x0000000081400000 4M PGD XN R W AF BLK 0x0000000081400000-0x000000008fe00000 234M PGD 0x000000008fe00000-0x0000000090000000 2M PGD XN R W AF BLK 0x0000000090000000-0x00000000fa000000 1696M PGD 0x00000000fa000000-0x00000000fe000000 64M PGD XN R W AF BLK 0x00000000fe000000-0x0000000100000000 32M PGD 0x0000000100000000-0x0000000101c00000 28M PGD XN R W AF BLK 0x0000000101c00000-0x0000000102000000 4M PGD 0x0000000102000000-0x0000000102200000 2M PGD XN R W AF BLK 0x0000000102200000-0x000000017b000000 1934M PGD 0x000000017b000000-0x0000000180000000 80M PGD XN R W AF BLK Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231218135859.2513568-2-sebastianene@google.com/ (local) Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231115171639.2852644-2-sebastianene@google.com/ (local) Changelog: v4 -> current_version: * refactorization: split the series into two parts as per the feedback received from Oliver. Introduce the base support which allows dumping of the guest stage-2 pagetables. * removed the *ops* struct wrapper built on top of the file_ops and simplify the ptdump interface access. * keep the page table walker away from the ptdump specific code v3 -> current_version: * refactorization: moved all the **KVM** specific components under kvm/ as suggested by Oliver. Introduced a new file arm64/kvm/ptdump.c which handled the second stage translation. re-used only the display portion from mm/ptdump.c * pagetable snapshot creation now uses memory donated from the host. The memory is no longer shared with the host as this can pose a security risk if the host has access to manipulate the pagetable copy while the hypervisor iterates it. * fixed a memory leak: while memory was used from the memcache for building the snapshot pagetable, it was no longer giving back the pages to the host for freeing. A separate array was introduced to keep track of the pages allocated from the memcache. v2 -> v3: * register the stage-2 debugfs entry for the host under /sys/debug/kvm/host_stage2_page_tables and in /sys/debug/kvm/<guest_id>/stage2_page_tables for guests. * don't use a static array for parsing the attributes description, generate it dynamically based on the number of pagetable levels * remove the lock that was guarding the seq_file private inode data, and keep the data private to the open file session. * minor fixes & renaming of CONFIG_NVHE_EL2_PTDUMP_DEBUGFS to CONFIG_PTDUMP_STAGE2_DEBUGFS v1 -> v2: * use the stage-2 pagetable walker for dumping descriptors instead of the one provided by ptdump. * support for guests pagetables dumping under VHE/nVHE non-protected Thanks, Sebastian Ene (4): arm64: ptdump: Expose the attribute parsing functionality arm64: ptdump: Use the mask from the state structure KVM: arm64: Register ptdump with debugfs on guest creation KVM: arm64: Initialize the ptdump parser with stage-2 attributes arch/arm64/include/asm/ptdump.h | 42 +++++- arch/arm64/kvm/Kconfig | 13 ++ arch/arm64/kvm/Makefile | 1 + arch/arm64/kvm/debug.c | 7 + arch/arm64/kvm/kvm_ptdump.h | 20 +++ arch/arm64/kvm/ptdump.c | 235 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ arch/arm64/mm/ptdump.c | 49 ++----- 7 files changed, 327 insertions(+), 40 deletions(-) create mode 100644 arch/arm64/kvm/kvm_ptdump.h create mode 100644 arch/arm64/kvm/ptdump.c -- 2.43.0.594.gd9cf4e227d-goog _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
