[PATCH, RFC 54/62] x86/mm: Disable MKTME on incompatible platform configurations
From: Kirill A. Shutemov
Date: Wed May 08 2019 - 10:48:33 EST
Icelake Server requires additional check to make sure that MKTME usage
is safe on Linux.
Kernel needs a way to access encrypted memory. There can be different
approaches to this: create a temporary mapping to access the page (using
kmap() interface), modify kernel's direct mapping on allocation of
encrypted page.
In order to minimize runtime overhead, the Linux MKTME implementation
uses multiple direct mappings, one per-KeyID. Kernel uses the direct
mapping that is relevant for the page at the moment.
Icelake Server in some configurations doesn't allow a page to be mapped
with multiple KeyIDs at the same time. Even if only one of KeyIDs is
actively used. It conflicts with the Linux MKTME implementation.
OS can check if it's safe to map the same with multiple KeyIDs by
examining bit 8 of MSR 0x6F. If the bit is set we cannot safely use
MKTME on Linux.
The user can disable the Directory Mode in BIOS setup to get the
platform into Linux-compatible mode.
