PATCH 2/3 Return EFAULT from kvm ioctl when guest access bad area.

Currently if guest access address that belongs to memory slot but is not backed up by page or page is read only KVM treats it like MMIO access. Remove that capability. It was never part of the interface and should not be relied upon.

PATCH 3/3 Reenter guest after instruction emulation failure if emulation was due to access to non-mmio address.

In reply to Gleb Natapov

When shadow pages are in use sometimes KVM try to emulate an instruction when it accesses a shadowed page. If emulation fails KVM un-shadows the page and reenter guest to allow vcpu to execute the instruction. If page is not in shadow page hash KVM assumes that this was attempt to do MMIO and reports emulation failure to userspace since there is no way to fix the situation. This logic has a race though. If two vcpus tries to write to the same shadowed page simultaneously both will enter emulator, but only one of them will find the page in shadow page hash since the one who founds it also removes it from there, so another cpu will report failure to userspace and will abort the guest.

Fix this by checking (in addition to checking shadowed page hash) that page that caused the emulation belongs to valid memory slot. If it is then reenter the guest to allow vcpu to reexecute the instruction.

btw, that will mean another page walk, so better fold into kvm_mmu_unprotect_page_virt() (which needs a new name, since it does more than unprotect a page now).

Say, kvm_make_guest_writeable().

But this code will be taken very rarely and usually on the way to failure anyway, do you think additional page walk is a problem?
