<id>69dcb1e3bbbe7fe092ea7af70e295e43ab0c7bc7</id>
<content type='text'>
In advance of providing support for unaccepted memory, switch from using
kmalloc() for allocating the Page State Change (PSC) structure to using a
local variable that lives on the stack. This is needed to avoid a possible
recursive call into set_pages_state() if the kmalloc() call requires
(more) memory to be accepted, which would result in a hang.

The current size of the PSC struct is 2,032 bytes. To make the struct more
stack friendly, reduce the number of PSC entries from 253 down to 64,
resulting in a size of 520 bytes. This is a nice compromise on struct size
and total PSC requests while still allowing parallel PSC operations across
vCPUs.

If the reduction in PSC entries results in any kind of performance issue
(that is not seen at the moment), use of a larger static PSC struct, with
fallback to the smaller stack version, can be investigated.

For more background info on this decision, see the subthread in the Link:

<title>x86/sev: Change snp_guest_issue_request()'s fw_err argument</title>

<content type='text'>
The GHCB specification declares that the firmware error value for
a guest request will be stored in the lower 32 bits of EXIT_INFO_2.  The
upper 32 bits are for the VMM's own error code. The fw_err argument to
snp_guest_issue_request() is thus a misnomer, and callers will need
access to all 64 bits.

The type of unsigned long also causes problems, since sw_exit_info2 is
u64 (unsigned long long) vs the argument's unsigned long*. Change this
type for issuing the guest request. Pass the ioctl command struct's error
field directly instead of in a local variable, since an incomplete guest
request may not set the error code, and uninitialized stack memory would
be written back to user space.

The firmware might not even be called, so bookend the call with the no
firmware call error and clear the error.

Since the "fw_err" field is really exitinfo2 split into the upper bits'
vmm error code and lower bits' firmware error code, convert the 64 bit
value to a union.

<title>virt/coco/sev-guest: Add throttling awareness</title>

<content type='text'>
A potentially malicious SEV guest can constantly hammer the hypervisor
using this driver to send down requests and thus prevent or at least
considerably hinder other guests from issuing requests to the secure
processor which is a shared platform resource.

Therefore, the host is permitted and encouraged to throttle such guest
requests.

Add the capability to handle the case when the hypervisor throttles
excessive numbers of requests issued by the guest. Otherwise, the VM
platform communication key will be disabled, preventing the guest from
attesting itself.

Realistically speaking, a well-behaved guest should not even care about
throttling. During its lifetime, it would end up issuing a handful of
requests which the hardware can easily handle.

This is more to address the case of a malicious guest. Such guest should
get throttled and if its VMPCK gets disabled, then that's its own
wrongdoing and perhaps that guest even deserves it.

To the implementation: the hypervisor signals with SNP_GUEST_REQ_ERR_BUSY
that the guest requests should be throttled. That error code is returned
in the upper 32-bit half of exitinfo2 and this is part of the GHCB spec
v2.

So the guest is given a throttling period of 1 minute in which it
retries the request every 2 seconds. This is a good default but if it
turns out to not pan out in practice, it can be tweaked later.

For safety, since the encryption algorithm in GHCBv2 is AES_GCM, control
must remain in the kernel to complete the request with the current
sequence number. Returning without finishing the request allows the
guest to make another request but with different message contents. This
is IV reuse, and breaks cryptographic protections.

Version 2 of GHCB specification provides SNP_GUEST_REQUEST and
SNP_EXT_GUEST_REQUEST NAE that can be used by the SNP guest to
communicate with the PSP.

While at it, add a snp_issue_guest_request() helper that will be used by
driver or other subsystem to issue the request to PSP.

CPUID instructions generate a #VC exception for SEV-ES/SEV-SNP guests,
for which early handlers are currently set up to handle. In the case
of SEV-SNP, guests can use a configurable location in guest memory
that has been pre-populated with a firmware-validated CPUID table to
look up the relevant CPUID values rather than requesting them from
hypervisor via a VMGEXIT. Add the various hooks in the #VC handlers to
allow CPUID instructions to be handled via the table. The code to
actually configure/enable the table will be added in a subsequent

To provide a more secure way to start APs under SEV-SNP, use the SEV-SNP
AP Creation NAE event. This allows for guest control over the AP register
state rather than trusting the hypervisor with the SEV-ES Jump Table
address.

During native_smp_prepare_cpus(), invoke an SEV-SNP function that, if
SEV-SNP is active, will set/override apic-&gt;wakeup_secondary_cpu. This
will allow the SEV-SNP AP Creation NAE event method to be used to boot
the APs. As a result of installing the override when SEV-SNP is active,
this method of starting the APs becomes the required method. The override
function will fail to start the AP if the hypervisor does not have
support for AP creation.

The SEV-SNP guest is required by the GHCB spec to register the GHCB's
Guest Physical Address (GPA). This is because the hypervisor may prefer
that a guest use a consistent and/or specific GPA for the GHCB associated
with a vCPU. For more information, see the GHCB specification section
"GHCB GPA Registration".

If hypervisor can not work with the guest provided GPA then terminate the
guest boot.

<title>x86/compressed: Add helper for validating pages in the decompression stage</title>

Many of the integrity guarantees of SEV-SNP are enforced through the
Reverse Map Table (RMP). Each RMP entry contains the GPA at which a
particular page of DRAM should be mapped. The VMs can request the
hypervisor to add pages in the RMP table via the Page State Change
VMGEXIT defined in the GHCB specification.

Inside each RMP entry is a Validated flag; this flag is automatically
cleared to 0 by the CPU hardware when a new RMP entry is created for a
guest. Each VM page can be either validated or invalidated, as indicated
by the Validated flag in the RMP entry. Memory access to a private page
that is not validated generates a #VC. A VM must use the PVALIDATE
instruction to validate a private page before using it.

To maintain the security guarantee of SEV-SNP guests, when transitioning
pages from private to shared, the guest must invalidate the pages before
asking the hypervisor to change the page state to shared in the RMP table.

After the pages are mapped private in the page table, the guest must
issue a page state change VMGEXIT to mark the pages private in the RMP
table and validate them.

Upon boot, BIOS should have validated the entire system memory.
During the kernel decompression stage, early_setup_ghcb() uses
set_page_decrypted() to make the GHCB page shared (i.e. clear encryption
attribute). And while exiting from the decompression, it calls
set_page_encrypted() to make the page private.

Add snp_set_page_{private,shared}() helpers that are used by
set_page_{decrypted,encrypted}() to change the page state in the RMP
table.

<title>x86/sev: Check the VMPL level</title>

The Virtual Machine Privilege Level (VMPL) feature in the SEV-SNP
architecture allows a guest VM to divide its address space into four
levels. The level can be used to provide hardware isolated abstraction
layers within a VM. VMPL0 is the highest privilege level, and VMPL3 is
the least privilege level. Certain operations must be done by the VMPL0
software, such as:

* Validate or invalidate memory range (PVALIDATE instruction)
* Allocate VMSA page (RMPADJUST instruction when VMSA=1)

The initial SNP support requires that the guest kernel is running at
VMPL0. Add such a check to verify the guest is running at level 0 before
continuing the boot. There is no easy method to query the current VMPL
level, so use the RMPADJUST instruction to determine whether the guest
is running at the VMPL0.
