Explicitly disallow creating more memslot pages than can fit in an unsigned long, KVM doesn't correctly handle a total number of memslot pages that doesn't fit in an unsigned long and remedying that would be a waste of time. For a 64-bit kernel, this is a nop as memslots are not allowed to overlap in the gfn address space. With a 32-bit kernel, userspace can at most address 3gb of virtual memory, whereas wrapping the total number of pages would require 4tb+ of guest physical memory. Even with x86's second address space for SMM, userspace would need to alias all of guest memory more than one _thousand_ times. And on older x86 hardware with MAXPHYADDR < 43, the guest couldn't actually access any of those aliases even if userspace lied about guest.MAXPHYADDR. On 390 and arm64, this is a nop as they don't support 32-bit hosts. On x86, practically speaking this is simply acknowledging reality as the existing kvm_mmu_calculate_default_mmu_pages() assumes the total number of pages fits in an "unsigned long". On PPC, this is likely a nop as every flavor of PPC KVM assumes gfns (and gpas!) fit in unsigned long. arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_32_mmu_host.c goes a step further and fails the build if CONFIG_PTE_64BIT=y, which presumably means that it does't support 64-bit physical addresses. On MIPS, this is also likely a nop as the core MMU helpers assume gpas fit in unsigned long, e.g. see kvm_mips_##name##_pte. And finally, RISC-V is a "don't care" as it doesn't exist in any release, i.e. there is no established ABI to break. Signed-off-by: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com> Reviewed-by: Maciej S.
