Explicitly detect and disallow private accesses to emulated MMIO in
kvm_handle_noslot_fault() instead of relying on kvm_faultin_pfn_private()
to perform the check. This will allow the page fault path to go straight
to kvm_handle_noslot_fault() without bouncing through __kvm_faultin_pfn().

As mentioned in another reply in this series, unless I am mistaken, for TDX
guest the _first_ MMIO access would still cause EPT violation with MMIO GFN
being private.

Returning to userspace cannot really help here because the MMIO mapping is
inside the guest.

That's a guest bug. The guest *knows* it's a TDX VM, it *has* to know. Accessing
emulated MMIO and thus taking a #VE before enabling paging is nonsensical. Either
enable paging and setup MMIO regions as shared, or go straight to TDCALL.

+Kirill,

I kinda forgot the detail, but what I am afraid is there might be bunch of
existing TDX guests (since TDX guest code is upstream-ed) using unmodified
drivers, which doesn't map MMIO regions as shared I suppose.

Unmodified drivers gets their MMIO regions mapped with ioremap() that sets
shared bit, unless asked explicitly to make it private (encrypted).


Thanks for clarification. Obviously I had bad memory.
