[RFC, PATCH 00/22] Partial MKTME enabling

From: Kirill A. Shutemov

Hi everybody,

Here's updated version of my patchset that brings support of MKTME.
It's not yet complete, but I think it worth sharing to get early feedback.

Things that are missing:

- kmap() is not yet wired up to support tempoprary mappings of encrypted
pages. It's requried to allow kernel to access encrypted memory.

- Interface to manipulate encryption keys.

- Interface to create encrypted userspace mappings.

- IOMMU support.

What has been done:

- PCONFIG, TME and MKTME enumeration.

- In-kernel helper that allows to program encryption keys into CPU.

- Allocation and freeing encrypted pages.

- Helpers to find out if a VMA/anon_vma/page is encrypted and with what
KeyID.

Any feedback is welcome.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Multikey Total Memory Encryption (MKTME)[1] is a technology that allows
transparent memory encryption in upcoming Intel platforms.

MKTME is built on top of TME. TME allows encryption of the entirety of
system memory using a single key. MKTME allows to have multiple encryption
domains, each having own key -- different memory pages can be encrypted
with different keys.

Key design points of Intel MKTME:

- Initial HW implementation would support upto 63 keys (plus one default
TME key). But the number of keys may be as low as 3, depending to SKU
and BIOS settings

- To access encrypted memory you need to use mapping with proper KeyID
int the page table entry. KeyID is encoded in upper bits of PFN in page
table entry.

This means we cannot use direct map to access encrypted memory from
kernel side. My idea is to re-use kmap() interface to get proper
temporary mapping on kernel side.

- CPU does not enforce coherency between mappings of the same physical
page with different KeyIDs or encryption keys. We wound need to take
care about flushing cache on allocation of encrypted page and on
returning it back to free pool.

- For managing keys, there's MKTME_KEY_PROGRAM leaf of the new PCONFIG
(platform configuration) instruction. It allows load and clear keys
associated with a KeyID. You can also ask CPU to generate a key for
you or disable memory encryption when a KeyID is used.
