Issue description:
-----------------
Machine Check Error on Page Size Change
Instruction fetch may cause machine check error if page size
and memory type was changed without invalidation on some
processors[1][2]. Malicious guest kernel could trigger this issue.
This issue applies to both primary page table and extended page
tables (EPT), however the primary page table is controlled by
hypervisor only. This patch mitigates the situation in EPT.
Mitigation details:
------------------
Implement non-execute huge pages in EPT.
This patch series clears the execute permission (bit 2) in the
EPT entries for large pages. When EPT violation is triggered by
guest instruction fetch, hypervisor converts the large page to
smaller 4 KB pages and restore the execute permission, and then
re-execute the guest instruction.
The current patch turns on the mitigation by default.
The follow-up patches will conditionally turn on/off the feature
per processor model.
