[PATCH] KVM: VMX: Condition ENCLS-exiting enabling on CPU support for SGX1

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Thu Mar 12 2020 - 14:04:20 EST


Enable ENCLS-exiting (and thus set vmcs.ENCLS_EXITING_BITMAP) only if
the CPU supports SGX1. Per Intel's SDM, all ENCLS leafs #UD if SGX1
is not supported[*], i.e. intercepting ENCLS to inject a #UD is
unnecessary.

Avoiding ENCLS-exiting even when it is reported as supported by the CPU
works around a reported issue where SGX is "hard" disabled after an S3
suspend/resume cycle, i.e. CPUID.0x7.SGX=0 and the VMCS field/control
are enumerated as unsupported. While the root cause of the S3 issue is
unknown, it's definitely _not_ a KVM (or kernel) bug, i.e. this is a
workaround for what is most likely a hardware or firmware issue. As a
bonus side effect, KVM saves a VMWRITE when first preparing vmcs01 and
vmcs02.

Query CPUID directly instead of going through cpu_data() or cpu_has() to
ensure KVM is trapping ENCLS when it's supported in hardware, e.g. even
if X86_FEATURE_SGX1 (which doesn't yet exist in upstream) were disabled
by the kernel/user.

Note, SGX must be disabled in BIOS to take advantage of this workaround

[*] The additional ENCLS CPUID check on SGX1 exists so that SGX can be
globally "soft" disabled post-reset, e.g. if #MC bits in MCi_CTL are
cleared. Soft disabled meaning disabling SGX without clearing the
primary CPUID bit (in leaf 0x7) and without poking into non-SGX
CPU paths, e.g. for the VMCS controls.

This seems somewhat premature given that we don't yet know if the observed
behavior is a logic bug, a one off manufacturing defect, firmware specific,
etc... On the other hand, the change is arguably an optimization
irrespective of using it as a workaround.
