Subject: [PATCH v17 10/24] KVM: guest_memfd: Add plumbing to host to map guest_memfd pages
Date: Tue, 29 Jul 2025 15:54:41 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250729225455.670324-11-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250729225455.670324-1-seanjc@google.com>

From: Fuad Tabba <tabba@google.com>

Introduce the core infrastructure to enable host userspace to mmap()
guest_memfd-backed memory. This is needed for several evolving KVM use
cases:

* Non-CoCo VM backing: Allows VMMs like Firecracker to run guests
  entirely backed by guest_memfd, even for non-CoCo VMs [1]. This
  provides a unified memory management model and simplifies guest memory
  handling.

* Direct map removal for enhanced security: This is an important step
  for direct map removal of guest memory [2]. By allowing host userspace
  to fault in guest_memfd pages directly, we can avoid maintaining host
  kernel direct maps of guest memory. This provides additional hardening
  against Spectre-like transient execution attacks by removing a
  potential attack surface within the kernel.

* Future guest_memfd features: This also lays the groundwork for future
  enhancements to guest_memfd, such as supporting huge pages and
  enabling in-place sharing of guest memory with the host for CoCo
  platforms that permit it [3].

Enable the basic mmap and fault handling logic within guest_memfd, but
hold off on allow userspace to actually do mmap() until the architecture
support is also in place.
