Subject: [PATCH v2 06/12] KVM: xen: allow shared_info to be mapped by fixed HVA
Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2023 11:21:42 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230918112148.28855-7-paul@xen.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230918112148.28855-1-paul@xen.org>
From: Paul Durrant <pdurrant@amazon.com>
The shared_info page is not guest memory as such. It is a dedicated page
allocated by the VMM and overlaid onto guest memory in a GFN chosen by the
guest. The guest may even request that shared_info be moved from one GFN
to another, but the HVA is never going to change. Thus it makes much more
sense to map the shared_info page in kernel once using this fixed HVA.
Hence add a new KVM_XEN_ATTR_TYPE_SHARED_INFO_HVA attribute type for this
purpose and a KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG_SHARED_INFO_HVA flag to advertize its
availability. Don't actually advertize it yet though. That will be done in
a subsequent patch, which will also add tests for the new attribute type.
Also update the KVM API documentation with the new attribute and also fix
it up to consistently refer to 'shared_info' (with the underscore).
NOTE: The change of the kvm_xen_hvm_attr shared_info from struct to union
is technically an ABI change but it's entirely compatible with
existing users.

v2:
- Define the new attribute and capability but don't advertize the
capability yet.
- Add API documentation.
