2025-03-03KVM: selftests: Ensure all vCPUs hit -EFAULT during initial RO stageSean Christopherson
During the initial mprotect(RO) stage of mmu_stress_test, keep vCPUs spinning until all vCPUs have hit -EFAULT, i.e. until all vCPUs have tried to write to a read-only page. If a vCPU manages to complete an entire iteration of the loop without hitting a read-only page, *and* the vCPU observes mprotect_ro_done before starting a second iteration, then the vCPU will prematurely fall through to GUEST_SYNC(3) (on x86 and arm64) and get out of sequence. Replace the "do-while (!r)" loop around the associated _vcpu_run() with a single invocation, as barring a KVM bug, the vCPU is guaranteed to hit -EFAULT, and retrying on success is super confusion, hides KVM bugs, and complicates this fix. The do-while loop was semi-unintentionally added specifically to fudge around a KVM x86 bug, and said bug is unhittable without modifying the test to force x86 down the !(x86||arm64) path. On x86, if forced emulation is enabled, vcpu_arch_put_guest() may trigger emulation of the store to memory. Due a (very, very) longstanding bug in KVM x86's emulator, emulate writes to guest memory that fail during __kvm_write_guest_page() unconditionally return KVM_EXIT_MMIO. While that is desirable in the !memslot case, it's wrong in this case as the failure happens due to __copy_to_user() hitting a read-only page, not an emulated MMIO region. But as above, x86 only uses vcpu_arch_put_guest() if the __x86_64__ guards are clobbered to force x86 down the common path, and of course the unexpected MMIO is a KVM bug, i.e. *should* cause a test failure.

2024-12-18KVM: selftests: Verify KVM correctly handles mprotect(PROT_READ)Sean Christopherson
Add two phases to mmu_stress_test to verify that KVM correctly handles guest memory that was writable, and then made read-only in the primary MMU, and then made writable again. Add bonus coverage for x86 and arm64 to verify that all of guest memory was marked read-only. Making forward progress (without making memory writable) requires arch specific code to skip over the faulting instruction, but the test can at least verify each vCPU's starting page was made read-only for other architectures.

2024-12-18KVM: selftests: Add a read-only mprotect() phase to mmu_stress_testSean Christopherson
Add a third phase of mmu_stress_test to verify that mprotect()ing guest memory to make it read-only doesn't cause explosions, e.g. to verify KVM correctly handles the resulting mmu_notifier invalidations.

Run the exact number of guest loops required in mmu_stress_test instead of looping indefinitely in anticipation of adding more stages that run different code (e.g. reads instead of writes).

Use vcpu_arch_put_guest() to write memory from the guest in mmu_stress_test as an easy way to provide a bit of extra coverage.

Explicitly include ucall_common.h in the MMU stress test, as unlike arm64 and x86-64, RISC-V doesn't include ucall_common.h in its processor.h, i.e. this will allow enabling the test on RISC-V.

2024-12-18KVM: selftests: Compute number of extra pages needed in mmu_stress_testSean Christopherson
Create mmu_stress_tests's VM with the correct number of extra pages needed to map all of memory in the guest. The bug hasn't been noticed before as the test currently runs only on x86, which maps guest memory with 1GiB pages, i.e. doesn't need much memory in the guest for page tables.

Try to get/set SREGS in mmu_stress_test only when running on x86, as the ioctls are supported only by x86 and PPC, and the latter doesn't yet support KVM selftests.

2024-12-18KVM: selftests: Rename max_guest_memory_test to mmu_stress_testSean Christopherson
Rename max_guest_memory_test to mmu_stress_test so that the name isn't horribly misleading when future changes extend the test to verify things like mprotect() interactions, and because the test is useful even when its configured to populate far less than the maximum amount of guest memory.
