[PATCH v13 00/26] Add AMD Secure Nested Paging (SEV-SNP) Hypervisor Support

From: Michael Roth
Date: Thu Apr 18 2024 - 15:43:35 EST


This patchset is also available at:

https://github.com/amdese/linux/commits/snp-host-v13

and is based on commit 4d2deb62185f (as suggested by Paolo) from:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm.git/log/?h=kvm-coco-queue


Patch Layout
------------

01-03: These patches are minor dependencies for this series and are already
included in both tip/master and mainline, so are only included here
as a stop-gap until merged from one of those trees. These are needed
by patch #8 in this series which makes use of CC_ATTR_HOST_SEV_SNP

04: This is a small general fix-up for guest_memfd that can be applied
independently of this series.

05-08: These patches add some basic infrastructure and introduces a new
KVM_X86_SNP_VM vm_type to handle differences verses the existing
KVM_X86_SEV_VM and KVM_X86_SEV_ES_VM types.

09-11: These implement the KVM API to handle the creation of a
cryptographic launch context, encrypt/measure the initial image
into guest memory, and finalize it before launching it.

12-17: These implement handling for various guest-generated events such
as page state changes, onlining of additional vCPUs, etc.

18-21: These implement the gmem hooks needed to prepare gmem-allocated
pages before mapping them into guest private memory ranges as
well as cleaning them up prior to returning them to the host for
use as normal memory. Because this supplants certain activities
like issued WBINVDs during KVM MMU invalidations, there's also
a patch to avoid duplicating that work to avoid unecessary
overhead.

22: With all the core support in place, the patch adds a kvm_amd module
parameter to enable SNP support.

23-26: These patches all deal with the servicing of guest requests to handle
things like attestation, as well as some related host-management
interfaces.


Testing
-------

For testing this via QEMU, use the following tree:

https://github.com/amdese/qemu/commits/snp-v4-wip3

A patched OVMF is also needed due to upstream KVM no longer supporting MMIO
ranges that are mapped as private. It is recommended you build the AmdSevX64
variant as it provides the kernel-hashing support present in this series:

https://github.com/amdese/ovmf/commits/apic-mmio-fix1d

A basic command-line invocation for SNP would be:

qemu-system-x86_64 -smp 32,maxcpus=255 -cpu EPYC-Milan-v2
-machine q35,confidential-guest-support=sev0,memory-backend=ram1
-object memory-backend-memfd,id=ram1,size=4G,share=true,reserve=false
-object sev-snp-guest,id=sev0,cbitpos=51,reduced-phys-bits=1,id-auth=
-bios OVMF_CODE-upstream-20240410-apic-mmio-fix1d-AmdSevX64.fd

With kernel-hashing and certificate data supplied:

qemu-system-x86_64 -smp 32,maxcpus=255 -cpu EPYC-Milan-v2
-machine q35,confidential-guest-support=sev0,memory-backend=ram1
-object memory-backend-memfd,id=ram1,size=4G,share=true,reserve=false
-object sev-snp-guest,id=sev0,cbitpos=51,reduced-phys-bits=1,id-auth=,certs-path=/home/mroth/cert.blob,kernel-hashes=on
-bios OVMF_CODE-upstream-20240410-apic-mmio-fix1d-AmdSevX64.fd
-kernel /boot/vmlinuz-$ver
-initrd /boot/initrd.img-$ver
-append "root=UUID=d72a6d1c-06cf-4b79-af43-f1bac4f620f9 ro console=ttyS0,115200n8"

With standard X64 OVMF package with separate image for persistent NVRAM:

qemu-system-x86_64 -smp 32,maxcpus=255 -cpu EPYC-Milan-v2
-machine q35,confidential-guest-support=sev0,memory-backend=ram1
-object memory-backend-memfd,id=ram1,size=4G,share=true,reserve=false
-object sev-snp-guest,id=sev0,cbitpos=51,reduced-phys-bits=1,id-auth=
-bios OVMF_CODE-upstream-20240410-apic-mmio-fix1d.fd
-drive if=pflash,format=raw,unit=0,file=OVMF_VARS-upstream-20240410-apic-mmio-fix1d.fd,readonly=off


Known issues / TODOs
--------------------

* SEV-ES guests may trigger the following warning:

WARNING: CPU: 151 PID: 4003 at arch/x86/kvm/mmu/mmu.c:5855 kvm_mmu_page_fault+0x33b/0x860 [kvm]

It is assumed here that these will be resolved once the transition to
PFERR_PRIVATE_ACCESS is fully completed, but if that's not the case let me
know and will investigate further.

* Base tree in some cases reports "Unpatched return thunk in use. This should
not happen!" the first time it runs an SVM/SEV/SNP guests. This a recent
regression upstream and unrelated to this series:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kernel/CANpmjNOcKzEvLHoGGeL-boWDHJobwfwyVxUqMq2kWeka3N4tXA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/T/

* 2MB hugepage support has been dropped pending discussion on how we plan to
re-enable it in gmem.

* Host kexec should work, but there is a known issue with host kdump support
while SNP guests are running that will be addressed as a follow-up.

* SNP kselftests are currently a WIP and will be included as part of SNP
upstreaming efforts in the near-term.


SEV-SNP Overview
----------------

This part of the Secure Encrypted Paging (SEV-SNP) series focuses on the
changes required to add KVM support for SEV-SNP. This series builds upon
SEV-SNP guest support, which is now in mainline, and and SEV-SNP host
initialization support, which is now in linux-next.

While series provides the basic building blocks to support booting the
SEV-SNP VMs, it does not cover all the security enhancement introduced by
the SEV-SNP such as interrupt protection, which will added in the future.

With SNP, when pages are marked as guest-owned in the RMP table, they are
assigned to a specific guest/ASID, as well as a specific GFN with in the
guest. Any attempts to map it in the RMP table to a different guest/ASID,
or a different GFN within a guest/ASID, will result in an RMP nested page
fault.

Prior to accessing a guest-owned page, the guest must validate it with a
special PVALIDATE instruction which will set a special bit in the RMP table
for the guest. This is the only way to set the validated bit outside of the
initial pre-encrypted guest payload/image; any attempts outside the guest to
modify the RMP entry from that point forward will result in the validated
bit being cleared, at which point the guest will trigger an exception if it
attempts to access that page so it can be made aware of possible tampering.

One exception to this is the initial guest payload, which is pre-validated
by the firmware prior to launching. The guest can use Guest Message requests
to fetch an attestation report which will include the measurement of the
initial image so that the guest can verify it was booted with the expected
image/environment.

After boot, guests can use Page State Change requests to switch pages
between shared/hypervisor-owned and private/guest-owned to share data for
things like DMA, virtio buffers, and other GHCB requests.

In this implementation of SEV-SNP, private guest memory is managed by a new
kernel framework called guest_memfd (gmem). With gmem, a new
KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES KVM ioctl has been added to tell the KVM
MMU whether a particular GFN should be backed by shared (normal) memory or
private (gmem-allocated) memory. To tie into this, Page State Change
requests are forward to userspace via KVM_EXIT_VMGEXIT exits, which will
then issue the corresponding KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES call to set the
private/shared state in the KVM MMU.

The gmem / KVM MMU hooks implemented in this series will then update the RMP
table entries for the backing PFNs to set them to guest-owned/private when
mapping private pages into the guest via KVM MMU, or use the normal KVM MMU
handling in the case of shared pages where the corresponding RMP table
entries are left in the default shared/hypervisor-owned state.

Feedback/review is very much appreciated!

Changes since v12:

* rebased to latest kvm-coco-queue branch (commit 4d2deb62185f)
* add more input validation for SNP_LAUNCH_START, especially for handling
things like MBO/MBZ policy bits, and API major/minor minimums. (Paolo)
* block SNP KVM instances from being able to run legacy SEV commands (Paolo)
* don't attempt to measure VMSA for vcpu 0/BSP before the others, let
userspace deal with the ordering just like with SEV-ES (Paolo)
* fix up docs for SNP_LAUNCH_FINISH (Paolo)
* introduce svm->sev_es.snp_has_guest_vmsa flag to better distinguish
handling for guest-mapped vs non-guest-mapped VMSAs, rename
'snp_ap_create' flag to 'snp_ap_waiting_for_reset' (Paolo)
* drop "KVM: SEV: Use a VMSA physical address variable for populating VMCB"
as it is no longer needed due to above VMSA rework
* replace pr_debug_ratelimited() messages for RMP #NPFs with a single trace
event
* handle transient PSMASH_FAIL_INUSE return codes in kvm_gmem_invalidate(),
switch to WARN_ON*()'s to indicate remaining error cases are not expected
and should not be seen in practice. (Paolo)
* add a cond_resched() in kvm_gmem_invalidate() to avoid soft lock-ups when
cleaning up large guest memory ranges.
* rename VLEK_REQUIRED to VCEK_DISABLE. it's be more applicable if another
key type ever gets added.
* don't allow attestation to be paused while an attestation request is
being processed by firmware (Tom)
* add missing Documentation entry for SNP_VLEK_LOAD
* collect Reviewed-by's from Paolo and Tom

Changes since v11:

* Rebase series on kvm-coco-queue and re-work to leverage more
infrastructure between SNP/TDX series.
* Drop KVM_SNP_INIT in favor of the new KVM_SEV_INIT2 interface introduced
here (Paolo):
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240318233352.2728327-1-pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx/
* Drop exposure API fields related to things like VMPL levels, migration
agents, etc., until they are actually supported/used (Sean)
* Rework KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE handling to use a new
kvm_gmem_populate() interface instead of copying data directly into
gmem-allocated pages (Sean)
* Add support for SNP_LOAD_VLEK, rework the SNP_SET_CONFIG_{START,END} to
have simpler semantics that are applicable to management of SNP_LOAD_VLEK
updates as well, rename interfaces to the now more appropriate
SNP_{PAUSE,RESUME}_ATTESTATION
* Fix up documentation wording and do print warnings for
userspace-triggerable failures (Peter, Sean)
* Fix a race with AP_CREATION wake-up events (Jacob, Sean)
* Fix a memory leak with VMSA pages (Sean)
* Tighten up handling of RMP page faults to better distinguish between real
and spurious cases (Tom)
* Various patch/documentation rewording, cleanups, etc.
