Hi Sergej, On 06/07/17 12:50, Sergej Proskurin wrote: 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.
