Subject: [PATCH RFC 00/10] KVM: Enable Clang Context Analysis
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2026 16:21:33 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260910162343.4092060-1-elver@google.com> (raw)

Enable compiler-based static context analysis [1] for x86 KVM, along with
prerequisite lock annotations in virt/kvm.

During the initial annotation pass, context analysis uncovered a missing
SRCU read-side critical section in x86 PMU filter lookups; patch 1 fixes
this bug.

The remainder of the series is strictly non-functional: it establishes
basic function annotations, guarded_by annotations on core structs, and
straightforward refactorings in hva/gfn range walks and guest_memfd to
eliminate conditional locking patterns that cannot be tracked statically.

Annotating the MMU (mmu/mmu.c, mmu/tdp_mmu.c), i8259, and Xen requires
more invasive changes and is deferred to follow-ups.

Marco Elver (10):
  KVM: x86/pmu: Acquire SRCU in pmc_is_event_allowed() to protect filter
    lookup
  KVM: Allow reading memslots while holding slots_arch_lock
  KVM: guest_memfd: Avoid conditional mmu_lock acquisition
  KVM: Refactor kvm_handle_hva_range() to avoid conditional mmu_lock
  KVM: Refactor kvm_handle_gfn_range() to avoid conditional mmu_lock
  KVM: Add basic lock context annotations
  KVM: x86: Add basic lock context annotations
  KVM: Add guarded_by to members in struct kvm
  KVM: x86: Add guarded_by annotations for kvm_arch, kvm_hv, and ioapic
  KVM: x86: Enable CONTEXT_ANALYSIS with opt-outs
