[XEN PATCH v3 02/16] x86/altp2m: check if altp2m active when giving away p2midx
Posted by Sergiy Kibrik 5 months, 3 weeks ago
Explicitly check whether altp2m is on for domain when getting altp2m index.

The puspose of that is later to be able to disable altp2m support and
exclude its code from the build completely, when not supported by target
platform (as of now it's implemented for Intel EPT only).

changes in v3:
 - move altp2m_active() check inside altp2m_vcpu_idx()
 - drop changes to monitor.c
 - changed patch description
changes in v2:
 - patch description changed, removed VMX mentioning
 - guard by altp2m_active() instead of hvm_altp2m_supported()

While perhaps okay this way as a first step, my general expectation
would be that with ALTP2M=n there also wouldn't be any p2midx field
in the respective struct. Which in turn will mean that this code
would need re-doing again, and perhaps again splitting between an
inline one and a decl-only one. With that I wonder whether that split
wouldn't better be retained right away.

Hmm, or maybe not. 0 is a valid index, and hence could be misleading
at call sites.

I'm returning 0 index here because implementation of 
p2m_get_mem_access() for x86 & ARM expects it to be 0 when altp2m not 
active or not implemented.

Tamas, considering the comment in x86'es p2m_get_mem_access(), what purpose
are d->arch.altp2m_p2m[0] and d->arch.altp2m_eptp[0] then? In case it indeed
is unused, why would p2m_init_altp2m() set up slot 0 in the first place?
