[RFC PATCH] clocksource: hyper-v: Enable the tsc_page for a TDX VM in TD mode
From: Dexuan Cui
Date: Wed May 22 2024 - 22:25:46 EST
A TDX VM on Hyper-V may run in TD mode or Partitioned TD mode (L2). For
the former, the VM has not enabled the Hyper-V TSC page (which is defined
in drivers/clocksource/hyperv_timer.c: "... tsc_pg __bss_decrypted ...")
because, for such a VM, the hypervisor requires that the page should be
shared, but currently the __bss_decrypted is not working for such a VM
yet.
Hyper-V TSC page can work as a clocksource device similar to KVM pv
clock, and it's also used by the Hyper-V timer code to get the current
time: see hv_init_tsc_clocksource(), which sets the global function
pointer hv_read_reference_counter to read_hv_clock_tsc(); when
Hyper-V TSC page is not enabled, hv_read_reference_counter defaults to
be drivers/hv/hv_common.c: __hv_read_ref_counter(), which is suboptimal
as it uses the slow MSR interface to get the time info.
The attribute __bss_decrypted was added for a native SNP VM by the
commit 45f46b1ac95e ("clocksource: hyper-v: Mark hyperv tsc page unencrypted in sev-snp enlightened guest")
The attribute works for SNP because of the commit below
commit b3f0907c71e0 ("x86/mm: Add .bss..decrypted section to hold shared variables")
The attribute is not working for TDX because __startup_64() ->
sme_postprocess_startup() is not for TDX; we can't just call
set_memory_decrypted() in sme_postprocess_startup() because
sme_postprocess_startup() runs too early and set_memory_decrypted() is not
working there yet.
This RFC patch calls set_memory_decrypted() in a later place, i.e., in
start_kernel() -> setup_arch() -> init_hypervisor_platform() ->
ms_hyperv_init_platform(), so set_memory_decrypted() works there;
accordingly, mem_encrypt_free_decrypted_mem() -> set_memory_encrypted()
must be called for TDX now.
When a TDX VM runs in Partitioned TD mode (L2), the Hyper-V TSC page should
be a private page, so set_memory_decrypted() should not be called for the
page in such a VM. Introduce a global variable "tdx_partitioned_td_l2" to
handle this type of VM differently.
BTW, the 4KB Hyper-V TSC page is enabled very early in
hv_init_tsc_clocksource(), where set_memory_decrypted() is not working yet,
so we can't simply call set_memory_decrypted() in hv_init_tsc_clocksource()
for a TDX VM in TD mode, and we need to get the attribute __bss_decrypted
to work for such a VM.
The changes to arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mshyperv.c and
arch/x86/mm/mem_encrypt_amd.c are not satisfying to me. I wish there
could be a better way to support __bss_decrypted for a native TDX VM
so that a TDX VM on KVM could also benefit from __bss_decrypted, if
some one wants to use it in future. BTW, kvm_init_platform() has
similar code for SNP.
This is just a RFC patch. I apprecite your insight. Thanks!
