[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.0 22/77] x86/apic: Don't disable x2APIC if locked

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Sun Oct 09 2022 - 18:11:45 EST

From: Daniel Sneddon <daniel.sneddon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit b8d1d163604bd1e600b062fb00de5dc42baa355f ]

The APIC supports two modes, legacy APIC (or xAPIC), and Extended APIC
(or x2APIC). X2APIC mode is mostly compatible with legacy APIC, but
it disables the memory-mapped APIC interface in favor of one that uses
MSRs. The APIC mode is controlled by the EXT bit in the APIC MSR.

The MMIO/xAPIC interface has some problems, most notably the APIC LEAK
[1]. This bug allows an attacker to use the APIC MMIO interface to
extract data from the SGX enclave.

Introduce support for a new feature that will allow the BIOS to lock
the APIC in x2APIC mode. If the APIC is locked in x2APIC mode and the
kernel tries to disable the APIC or revert to legacy APIC mode a GP
fault will occur.

Introduce support for a new MSR (IA32_XAPIC_DISABLE_STATUS) and handle
the new locked mode when the LEGACY_XAPIC_DISABLED bit is set by
preventing the kernel from trying to disable the x2APIC.

On platforms with the IA32_XAPIC_DISABLE_STATUS MSR, if SGX or TDX are
enabled the LEGACY_XAPIC_DISABLED will be set by the BIOS. If
legacy APIC is required, then it SGX and TDX need to be disabled in the
BIOS.
