[Xen-devel] [PATCH 5/8] arm/mem_access: Add software guest-page-table walk

[Sergej Proskurin <proskurin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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: This function p2m_walk_gpt 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 table on a different vCPU, the following registers
would need to be loaded: TCR_EL1, TTBR0_EL1, TTBR1_EL1, and SCTLR_EL1.

v2: Rename p2m_gva_to_ipa to p2m_walk_gpt and move it to p2m.c.

    Move the functionality responsible for walking long-descriptor based
    translation tables out of the function p2m_walk_gpt. Also move out the
    long-descriptor based translation out of this commit.

    Change function parameters in order to return access access rights to a
    requested gva.

    Cosmetic fixes.
