[Xen-devel] [PATCH for-4.12 v2 05/17] xen/arm: p2m: Handle translation fault in get_page_from_gva

[Julien Grall <julien.grall@xxxxxxx>]

A follow-up patch will re-purpose the valid bit of LPAE entries to
generate fault even on entry containing valid information.

This means that when translating a guest VA to guest PA (e.g IPA) will
fail if the Stage-2 entries used have the valid bit unset. Because of
that, we need to fallback to walk the page-table in software to check
whether the fault was expected.

This patch adds the software page-table walk on all the translation
fault. It would be possible in the future to avoid pointless walk when
the fault in PAR_EL1 is not a translation fault.

Signed-off-by: Julien Grall <julien.grall@xxxxxxx>

There are a couple of TODO in the code. They are clean-up and performance
improvement (e.g when the fault cannot be handled) that could be delayed after
the series has been merged.

    Changes in v2:
        - Check stage-2 permission during software lookup
        - Fix typoes
