Subject: [RFC PATCH 04/13] KVM: SVM: Introduce helpers for updating TLB_CONTROL
Date: Wed,  5 Feb 2025 18:23:53 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250205182402.2147495-5-yosry.ahmed@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250205182402.2147495-1-yosry.ahmed@linux.dev>

Introduce helpers for updating TLB_CONTROL in the VMCB instead of
directly setting it. Two helpers are introduced:

- svm_add_tlb_ctl_flush(): Combines a new TLB_CONTROL value with the
  existing one.

- svm_clear_tlb_ctl_flush(): Clears the TLB_CONTROL field.

The goal is to prevent overwriting a TLB_CONTROL value with something
that results in less TLB entries being flushed. This does not currently
happen as KVM only sets TLB_CONTROL_FLUSH_ASID when servicing a flush
request, and TLB_CONTROL_FLUSH_ALL_ASID when allocating a new ASID. The
latter always happens after the former so no unsafe overwrite happens.

However, future changes may result in subtle bugs where the TLB_CONTROL
field is incorrectly overwritten. The new helpers prevent that.

A separate helper is used for clearing the TLB flush because it is
semantically different. In this case, KVM knowingly ignores the existing
value of TLB_CONTROL. Also, although svm_add_tlb_ctl_flush() would just
work for TLB_CONTROL_DO_NOTHING, the logic becomes inconsistent (use the
biggest hammer unless no hammer at all is requested).

Opportunistically move the TLB_CONTROL_* definitions to
arch/x86/kvm/svm/svm.h as they are not used outside of
arch/x86/kvm/svm/.

No functional change intended.
