* docs: move x86 documentation into Documentation/arch/Jonathan Corbet2023-03-3044-8681/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move the x86 documentation under Documentation/arch/ as a way of cleaning up the top-level directory and making the structure of our docs more closely match the structure of the source directories it describes. All in-kernel references to the old paths have been updated.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The canonical location for the tracefs filesystem is at /sys/kernel/tracing. But, from Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst: Before 4.1, all ftrace tracing control files were within the debugfs file system, which is typically located at /sys/kernel/debug/tracing. For backward compatibility, when mounting the debugfs file system, the tracefs file system will be automatically mounted at: /sys/kernel/debug/tracing Many parts of Documentation still reference this older debugfs path, so let's update them to avoid confusion.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Update the documentation for the new features: 1. Slow Memory Bandwidth allocation (SMBA). With this feature, the QOS enforcement policies can be applied to the external slow memory connected to the host. QOS enforcement is accomplished by assigning a Class Of Service (COS) to a processor and specifying allocations or limits for that COS for each resource to be allocated. 2. Bandwidth Monitoring Event Configuration (BMEC). The bandwidth monitoring events mbm_total_bytes and mbm_local_bytes are set to count all the total and local reads/writes respectively. With the introduction of slow memory, the two counters are not enough to count all the different types of memory events. With the feature BMEC, the users have the option to configure mbm_total_bytes and mbm_local_bytes to count the specific type of events. Also add configuration instructions with examples.

* / x86/sev: Add SEV-SNP guest feature negotiation supportNikunj A Dadhania2023-01-191-0/+36
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The hypervisor can enable various new features (SEV_FEATURES[1:63]) and start a SNP guest. Some of these features need guest side implementation. If any of these features are enabled without it, the behavior of the SNP guest will be undefined. It may fail booting in a non-obvious way making it difficult to debug. Instead of allowing the guest to continue and have it fail randomly later, detect this early and fail gracefully. The SEV_STATUS MSR indicates features which the hypervisor has enabled. While booting, SNP guests should ascertain that all the enabled features have guest side implementation. In case a feature is not implemented in the guest, the guest terminates booting with GHCB protocol Non-Automatic Exit(NAE) termination request event, see "SEV-ES Guest-Hypervisor Communication Block Standardization" document (currently at https://developer.amd.com/wp-content/resources/56421.pdf), section "Termination Request". Populate SW_EXITINFO2 with mask of unsupported features that the hypervisor can easily report to the user. More details in the AMD64 APM Vol 2, Section "SEV_STATUS MSR". [ bp: - Massage. - Move snp_check_features() call to C code. Note: the CC:stable@ aspect here is to be able to protect older, stable kernels when running on newer hypervisors.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | TDX guest driver exposes IOCTL interfaces to service TDX guest user-specific requests. Currently, it is only used to allow the user to get the TDREPORT to support TDX attestation. Details about the TDX attestation process are documented in Documentation/x86/tdx.rst, and the IOCTL details are documented in Documentation/virt/coco/tdx-guest.rst. Operations like getting TDREPORT involves sending a blob of data as input and getting another blob of data as output. It was considered to use a sysfs interface for this, but it doesn't fit well into the standard sysfs model for configuring values. It would be possible to do read/write on files, but it would need multiple file descriptors, which would be somewhat messy. IOCTLs seem to be the best fitting and simplest model for this use case. The AMD sev-guest driver also uses the IOCTL interface to support attestation.

The main problem with the sysfs interface was that it only supported up to 1024 bytes of payload per file, whereas the underlying variables themselves are only bounded by a platform specific per-variable and global limit that is typically much higher than 1024 bytes. The deprecated sysfs interface is only enabled on x86 and Itanium, other EFI enabled architectures only support the efivarfs pseudo-filesystem. So let's finally rip off the band aid, and drop the old interface entirely. This will make it easier to refactor and clean up the underlying infrastructure that is shared between efivars, efivarfs and efi-pstore, and is long overdue for a makeover.

It may mislead the user who wants to use the documentation to figure out the page fault handler. Also, fix typo and add the parentheses after function and macro name.

* | x86/boot: Add a pointer to Confidential Computing blob in bootparamsMichael Roth2022-04-071-0/+2
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previously defined Confidential Computing blob is provided to the kernel via a setup_data structure or EFI config table entry. Currently, these are both checked for by boot/compressed kernel to access the CPUID table address within it for use with SEV-SNP CPUID enforcement. To also enable that enforcement for the run-time kernel, similar access to the CPUID table is needed early on while it's still using the identity-mapped page table set up by boot/compressed, where global pointers need to be accessed via fixup_pointer(). This isn't much of an issue for accessing setup_data, and the EFI config table helper code currently used in boot/compressed *could* be used in this case as well since they both rely on identity-mapping. However, it has some reliance on EFI helpers/string constants that would need to be accessed via fixup_pointer(), and fixing it up while making it shareable between boot/compressed and run-time kernel is fragile and introduces a good bit of ugliness. Instead, add a boot_params->cc_blob_address pointer that the boot/compressed kernel can initialize so that the run-time kernel can access the CC blob from there instead of re-scanning the EFI config table. Also document these in Documentation/x86/zero-page.rst. While there, add missing documentation for the acpi_rsdp_addr field, which serves a similar purpose in providing the run-time kernel a pointer to the ACPI RSDP table so that it does not need to [re-]scan the EFI configuration table.

Signal frames can have space for this ~8k and each signal entry writes out all 8k even if it is zeros. Skip writing zeros for AMX to speed up signal delivery by about 4% overall when AMX is in its init state. This is a user-visible change to the sigframe ABI. == Hardware XSAVE Background == XSAVE state components may be tracked by the processor as being in their initial configuration. Software can detect which features are in this configuration by looking at the XSTATE_BV field in an XSAVE buffer or with the XGETBV(1) instruction. Both the XSAVE and XSAVEOPT instructions enumerate features s being in the initial configuration via the XSTATE_BV field in the XSAVE header, However, XSAVEOPT declines to actually write features in their initial configuration to the buffer. XSAVE writes the feature unconditionally, regardless of whether it is in the initial configuration or not. Basically, XSAVE users never need to inspect XSTATE_BV to determine if the feature has been written to the buffer. XSAVEOPT users *do* need to inspect XSTATE_BV. They might also need to clear out the buffer if they want to make an isolated change to the state, like modifying one register. == Software Signal / XSAVE Background == Signal frames have historically been written with XSAVE itself. Each state is written in its entirety, regardless of being in its initial configuration. In other words, the signal frame ABI uses the XSAVE behavior, not the XSAVEOPT behavior. == Problem == This means that any application which has acquired permission to use AMX via ARCH_REQ_XCOMP_PERM will write 8k of state to the signal frame. This 8k write will occur even when AMX was in its initial configuration and software *knows* this because of XSTATE_BV. This problem also exists to a lesser degree with AVX-512 and its 2k of state. However, AVX-512 use does not require ARCH_REQ_XCOMP_PERM and is more likely to have existing users which would be impacted by any change in behavior. == Solution == Stop writing out AMX xfeatures which are in their initial state to the signal frame. This effectively makes the signal frame XSAVE buffer look as if it were written with a combination of XSAVEOPT and XSAVE behavior. Userspace which handles XSAVEOPT- style buffers should be able to handle this naturally. For now, include only the AMX xfeatures: XTILE and XTILEDATA in this new behavior. These require new ABI to use anyway, which makes their users very unlikely to be broken. This XSAVEOPT-like behavior should be expected for all future dynamic xfeatures. It may also be extended to legacy features like AVX-512 in the future. Only attempt this optimization on systems with dynamic features. Disable dynamic feature support (XFD) if XGETBV1 is unavailable by adding a CPUID dependency. This has been measured to reduce the *overall* cycle cost of signal delivery by about 4%.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For bare-metal SGX on real hardware, the hardware provides guarantees SGX state at reboot. For instance, all pages start out uninitialized. The vepc driver provides a similar guarantee today for freshly-opened vepc instances, but guests such as Windows expect all pages to be in uninitialized state on startup, including after every guest reboot. Some userspace implementations of virtual SGX would rather avoid having to close and reopen the /dev/sgx_vepc file descriptor and re-mmap the virtual EPC. For example, they could sandbox themselves after the guest starts and forbid further calls to open(), in order to mitigate exploits from untrusted guests. Therefore, add a ioctl that does this with EREMOVE. Userspace can invoke the ioctl to bring its vEPC pages back to uninitialized state. There is a possibility that some pages fail to be removed if they are SECS pages, and the child and SECS pages could be in separate vEPC regions. Therefore, the ioctl returns the number of EREMOVE failures, telling userspace to try the ioctl again after it's done with all vEPC regions. A more verbose description of the correct usage and the possible error conditions is documented in sgx.rst.
