[PATCH v7 0/6] x86/tdx: Allow MMIO instructions from userspace

[Alexey Gladkov]

From: "Alexey Gladkov (Intel)" <legion@xxxxxxxxxx>

Currently, MMIO inside the TDX guest is allowed from kernel space and access
from userspace is denied. This becomes a problem when working with virtual
devices in userspace.

In TDX guest MMIO instructions are emulated in #VE. The kernel code uses special
helpers to access MMIO memory to limit the number of instructions which are
used.

This patchset makes MMIO accessible from userspace. To do this additional checks
were added to ensure that the emulated instruction will not be compromised.


v7:
- Use fault_in_kernel_space() instead of using your own function as
  suggested by Dave Hansen.
- Drop the unnecessary ifdef CONFIG_INTEL_TDX_GUEST from thread_struct.

v6:
- Reorder patches and change commit messages.

v5:
- Improve commit messages and comments in commits as suggested by Kirill A. Shutemov.
- To emulate MOVS, instead of storing the entire address, started using a flag.

v4:
- Move patches to avoid crossing the page boundary to separate patchset. They
  address separate issue.
- Check the address only in user context and in case of nested exceptions.
- Fix the check that the address does not point to private memory.

v3:
- Add patches to avoid crossing the page boundary when the instruction is read
  and decoded in the TDX, SEV, UMIP.
- Forbid accessing userspace addresses from kernel space. The exception to this
  is when emulating MOVS instructions.
- Fix address validation during MOVS emulation.

v2:
- Split into separate patches AMD helpers extraction and MOVS implementation
  code for intel as suggested by Thomas Gleixner.
- Fix coding style issues.
