Convert guest virtual address to host physical address
My environment:
Guest : ubuntu-16.04.3-server-amd64.iso (VM) Host . : ubuntu-16.04.3-server-amd64.iso (Nested VM)
I ran the following code in guest:
---[ mmu.c ]---
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <assert.h>
#include <inttypes.h>
#define PAGE_SHIFT 12
#define PAGE_SIZE (1 << PAGE_SHIFT)
#define PFN_PRESENT (1ull << 63)
#define PFN_PFN ((1ull << 55) - 1)
int fd;
uint32_t page_offset(uint32_t addr)
{
return addr & ((1 << PAGE_SHIFT) - 1);
}
uint64_t gva_to_gfn(void *addr)
{
uint64_t pme, gfn;
size_t offset;
offset = ((uintptr_t)addr >> 9) & ~7;
lseek(fd, offset, SEEK_SET);
read(fd, &pme, 8);
if (!(pme & PFN_PRESENT))
return -1;
gfn = pme & PFN_PFN;
return gfn;
}
uint64_t gva_to_gpa(void *addr)
{
uint64_t gfn = gva_to_gfn(addr);
assert(gfn != -1);
return (gfn << PAGE_SHIFT) | page_offset((uint64_t)addr);
}
int main()
{
uint8_t *ptr;
uint64_t ptr_mem;
fd = open("/proc/self/pagemap", O_RDONLY);
if (fd < 0) {
perror("open");
exit(1);
}
ptr = malloc(256);
strcpy(ptr, "Where am I?");
printf("%s\n", ptr);
ptr_mem = gva_to_gpa(ptr);
printf("Your physical address is at 0x%"PRIx64"\n", ptr_mem);
getchar();
return 0;
}
output
Where am I? Your physical address is at 0x10
Is 0x10
valid guest physical address ? Else, what I have done wrong here.
If it's right,
Host physical adddress = Guest Physical address (gpa) + highmem_hva_base
Can anybody please help how to find highmem_hva_base
? What is my phys_mem_base
in host?
