[RFC Part1 PATCH v3 00/17] x86: Secure Encrypted Virtualization (AMD)

[Brijesh Singh]

This part of Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) series focuses on the
changes required in a guest OS for SEV support.

When SEV is active, the memory content of guest OS will be transparently encrypted
with a key unique to the guest VM.

SEV guests have concept of private and shared memory. Private memory is encrypted
with the guest-specific key, while shared memory may be encrypted with hypervisor
key. Certain type of memory (namely insruction pages and guest page tables) are
always treated as private. Due to security reasons all DMA operations inside the
guest must be performed on shared memory.

The SEV feature is enabled by the hypervisor, and guest can identify it through
CPUID function and the 0xc0010131 (F17H_SEV) MSR. When enabled, page table entries
will determine how memory is accessed. If a page table entry has the memory
encryption mask set, then that memory will be accessed using guest-specific key.
Certain memory (instruction pages, page tables) will always be accessed using
guest-specific key.

This patch series builds upon the Secure Memory Encryption (SME) feature. Unlike
SME, when SEV is enabled, all the data (e.g EFI, kernel, initrd, etc) will have
been placed into memory as encrypted by the guest BIOS.

The approach that this patch series takes is to encrypt everything possible
starting early in the boot. Since the DMA operations inside guest must be
performed on shared memory hence it uses SW-IOTLB to complete the DMA operations.

Changes since v2:
 * add documentation
 * update early_set_memory_* to use kernel_physical_mapping_init()
   to split larger page into smaller (recommended by Boris)
 * changes to address v2 feedback
