[PATCH v3 0/5] x86/sev-es: Mitigate some HV attack vectors

Hi,

here are some enhancements to the SEV(-ES) code in the Linux kernel to
self-protect it against some newly detected hypervisor attacks. There
are 3 attacks addressed here:

1) Hypervisor does not present the SEV-enabled bit via CPUID

2) The Hypervisor presents the wrong C-bit position via CPUID

3) An encrypted RAM page is mapped as MMIO in the nested
page-table, causing #VC exceptions and possible leak of the
data to the hypervisor or data/code injection from the
Hypervisor.

The attacks are described in more detail in this paper:

https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.07094

Please review.

Thanks,

Joerg

Changes to v2:

- Use %r8/%r9 to modify %cr4 in sev_verify_cbit()
and return the new page-table pointer in that function.

Changes to v1:

- Disable CR4.PGE during C-bit test

- Do not safe/restore caller-safed registers in
set_sev_encryption_mask()

Joerg Roedel (5):
x86/boot/compressed/64: Introduce sev_status
x86/boot/compressed/64: Add CPUID sanity check to early #VC handler
x86/boot/compressed/64: Check SEV encryption in 64-bit boot-path
x86/head/64: Check SEV encryption before switching to kernel
page-table
x86/sev-es: Do not support MMIO to/from encrypted memory
