[PATCH v4 00/15] KVM: SEV: allow customizing VMSA features

From: Paolo Bonzini

[Dave: there is a small arch/x86/kernel/fpu change in patch 9;
I am CCing you in the cover letter just for context. - Paolo]

The idea that no parameter would ever be necessary when enabling SEV or
SEV-ES for a VM was decidedly optimistic. The first source of variability
that was encountered is the desired set of VMSA features, as that affects
the measurement of the VM's initial state and cannot be changed
arbitrarily by the hypervisor.

This series adds all the APIs that are needed to customize the features,
with room for future enhancements:

- a new /dev/kvm device attribute to retrieve the set of supported
features (right now, only debug swap)

- a new sub-operation for KVM_MEM_ENCRYPT_OP that can take a struct,
replacing the existing KVM_SEV_INIT and KVM_SEV_ES_INIT

It then puts the new op to work by including the VMSA features as a field
of the The existing KVM_SEV_INIT and KVM_SEV_ES_INIT use the full set of
supported VMSA features for backwards compatibility; but I am considering
also making them use zero as the feature mask, and will gladly adjust the
patches if so requested.

In order to avoid creating *two* new KVM_MEM_ENCRYPT_OPs, I decided that
I could as well make SEV and SEV-ES use VM types. And then, why not make
a SEV-ES VM, when created with the new VM type instead of KVM_SEV_ES_INIT,
reject KVM_GET_REGS/KVM_SET_REGS and friends on the vCPU file descriptor
once the VMSA has been encrypted... Which is how the API should have
always behaved.

Note: despite having the same number of patches as v3, #9 and #15 are new!
The series is structured as follows:

- patches 1 and 2 change sev.c so that it is compiled only if SEV is enabled
in kconfig

- patches 3 to 6 introduce the new device attribute to retrieve supported
VMSA features

- patches 7 and 8 introduce new infrastructure for VM types, replacing
the similar code in the TDX patches

- patch 9 allows setting the FPU and AVX state prior to encryption of the
VMSA

- patches 10 to 12 introduce the new VM types for SEV and
SEV-ES, and KVM_SEV_INIT2 as a new sub-operation for KVM_MEM_ENCRYPT_OP.

- patch 13 reenables DebugSwap, now that there is an API that allows doing
so without breaking backwards compatibility

- patches 14 and 15 test the new ioctl.

The idea is that SEV SNP will only ever support KVM_SEV_INIT2. I have
placed patches for QEMU to support this new API at branch sevinit2 of
https://gitlab.com/bonzini/qemu.

I haven't fully tested patch 9 and it really deserves a selftest,
it is a bit tricky though without ucall infrastructure for SEV.
I will look at it tomorrow.

The series is at branch kvm-coco-queue of kvm.git, and I would like to
include it in kvm/next as soon as possible after the release of -rc1.

Thanks,

Paolo

v3->v4:
- moved patches 1 and 5 to separate "fixes" series for 6.9
- do not conditionalize prototypes for functions that are called by common
SVM code
- rebased on top of SEV selftest infrastructure from 6.9 merge window;
include new patch to drop the "subtype" concept
- rebased on top of SEV-SNP patches from 6.9 merge window
- rebased on top of patch to disable DebugSwap from 6.8 rc;
drop "warn" once SEV_ES_INIT stops enabling VMSA features and
finally re-enable DebugSwap
- simplified logic to return -EINVAL from ioctls
- also block KVM_GET/SET_FPU for protected-state guests
- move logic to set kvm_>arch.has_protected_state to svm_vm_init
- fix "struct struct" in documentation
