[PATCH v3 3/5] x86/kexec: Reset TDX private memory on platforms with TDX erratum

[Kai Huang]

TL;DR:

On the platforms with TDX "partial write machine check" erratum, during
kexec, convert TDX private memory back to normal before jumping to the
second kernel to avoid the second kernel seeing potential unexpected
machine check.

Long version:

The first few generations of TDX hardware have an erratum.  A partial
write to a TDX private memory cacheline will silently "poison" the
line.  Subsequent reads will consume the poison and generate a machine
check.  According to the TDX hardware spec, neither of these things
should have happened.

== Background ==

Virtually all kernel memory accesses operations happen in full
cachelines.  In practice, writing a "byte" of memory usually reads a 64
byte cacheline of memory, modifies it, then writes the whole line back.
Those operations do not trigger this problem.

This problem is triggered by "partial" writes where a write transaction
of less than cacheline lands at the memory controller.  The CPU does
these via non-temporal write instructions (like MOVNTI), or through
UC/WC memory mappings.  The issue can also be triggered away from the
CPU by devices doing partial writes via DMA.

== Problem ==

A fast warm reset doesn't reset TDX private memory.  Kexec() can also
boot into the new kernel directly.  Thus if the old kernel has left any
TDX private pages on the platform with this erratum, the new kernel
might get unexpected machine check.

Note that w/o this erratum any kernel read/write on TDX private memory
should never cause machine check, thus it's OK for the old kernel to
leave TDX private pages as is.

== Solution ==

In short, with this erratum, the kernel needs to explicitly convert all
TDX private pages back to normal to give the new kernel a clean slate
after kexec().  The BIOS is also expected to disable fast warm reset as
a workaround to this erratum, thus this implementation doesn't try to
reset TDX private memory for the reboot case in the kernel but depends
on the BIOS to enable the workaround.

Convert TDX private pages back to normal (using MOVDIR64B to clear these
pages) after all remote cpus have been stopped and cache flush has been
done on all cpus, when no more TDX activity can happen further.

Do it in machine_kexec() to cover both normal kexec, and crash kexec.

For now TDX private memory can only be PAMT pages.  It would be ideal to
cover all types of TDX private memory here, but there are practical
problems to do so:

1) There's no existing infrastructure to track TDX private pages;
2) It's not feasible to query the TDX module about page type, because
   VMX, which making SEAMCALL requires, has already been disabled;
3) Even if it is feasible to query the TDX module, the result may not be
   accurate.  E.g., the remote CPU could be stopped right before
   MOVDIR64B.

One temporary solution is to blindly convert all memory pages, but it's
problematic to do so too, because not all pages are mapped as writable
in the direct mapping.  It can be done by switching to the identical
mapping created for kexec(), or a new page table, but the complexity
looks overkill.

Therefore, rather than doing something dramatic, only reset PAMT pages
here.

Leave resetting other TDX private pages as a future work when they
become possible to exist.

v2 -> v3:
 - No change

v1 -> v2:
 - Remove using reboot notifier to stop TDX module as it doesn't
   cover crash kexec.  Change to use a variable with barrier instead.
   (Rick)
 - Introduce kexec_save_processor_start() to make code better, and
   make the comment around calling site of tdx_reset_memory() more
   concise. (Dave)
 - Mention cache for all other cpus have been flushed around
   native_wbinvd() in tdx_reset_memory(). (Dave)
 - Remove the extended alternaties discussion from the comment, but leave
   it in the changelog. Point out what does current code do and point out
   risk. (Dave)
