[Xen-devel] [PATCH v4 6/9] arm/mem_access: Add software guest-page-table walk

[Sergej Proskurin <proskurin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The function p2m_mem_access_check_and_get_page in mem_access.c
translates a gva to an ipa by means of the hardware functionality of the
ARM architecture. This is implemented in the function gva_to_ipa. If
mem_access is active, hardware-based gva to ipa translation might fail,
as gva_to_ipa uses the guest's translation tables, access to which might
be restricted by the active VTTBR. To address this issue, in this commit
we add a software-based guest-page-table walk, which will be used by the
function p2m_mem_access_check_and_get_page perform the gva to ipa
translation in software in one of the following commits.

Note: The introduced function guest_walk_tables assumes that the domain,
the gva of which is to be translated, is running on the currently active
vCPU. To walk the guest's page tables on a different vCPU, the following
registers would need to be loaded: TCR_EL1, TTBR0_EL1, TTBR1_EL1, and
SCTLR_EL1.

v2: Rename p2m_gva_to_ipa to p2m_walk_gpt and move it to p2m.c.

    Move the functionality responsible for walking long-descriptor based
    translation tables out of the function p2m_walk_gpt. Also move out
    the long-descriptor based translation out of this commit.

    Change function parameters in order to return access access rights
    to a requested gva.

    Cosmetic fixes.

v3: Rename the introduced functions to guest_walk_(tables|sd|ld) and
    move the implementation to guest_copy.(c|h).

    Set permissions in guest_walk_tables also if the MMU is disabled.

    Change the function parameter of type "struct p2m_domain *" to
    "struct vcpu *" in the function guest_walk_tables.

v4: Change the function parameter of type "struct p2m_domain *" to
    "struct vcpu *" in the functions guest_walk_(sd|ld) as well.
