v11 cover TDX host kernel support

Intel Trusted Domain Extensions (TDX) protects guest VMs from malicious host and certain physical attacks. TDX specs are available in [1].

This series is the initial support to enable TDX with minimal code to allow KVM to create and run TDX guests. KVM support for TDX is being developed separately[2]. A new "userspace inaccessible memfd" approach to support TDX private memory is also being developed[3]. The KVM will only support the new "userspace inaccessible memfd" as TDX guest memory.

This series doesn't aim to support all functionalities, and doesn't aim to resolve all things perfectly. All other optimizations will be posted as follow-up once this initial TDX support is upstreamed.

Also, the patch to add the new kernel comline tdx="force" isn't included in this initial version, as Dave suggested it isn't mandatory. But I will add one once this initial version gets merged.

(For memory hotplug, sorry for broadcasting widely but I cc'ed the [email protected] following Kirill's suggestion so MM experts can also help to provide comments.)

Hi Dave, Kirill, Tony, Peter, Thomas, Dan (and Intel reviewers),

The new relaxed TDX per-cpu initialization flow has been verified. The TDX module can be initialized when there are offline cpus, and the TDH.SYS.LP.INIT SEAMCALL can be made successfully later after module initialization when the offline cpu is up.

This series mainly added code to handle the new TDX "partial write machine check" erratum (SPR113) in [4].

And I would appreciate reviewed-by or acked-by tags if the patches look good to you. Thanks in advance!

----- Changelog history: ------

- v10 -> v11:

- Addressed comments in v10
- Added patches to handle TDX "partial write machine check" erratum.
- Added a new patch to handle running out of entropy in common code.
- Fixed a bug in kexec() support.

v10: https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/[email protected]/

- v9 -> v10:

- Changed the per-cpu initalization handling
- Gave up "ensuring all online cpus are TDX-runnable when TDX module is initialized", but just provide two basic functions, tdx_enable() and tdx_cpu_enable(), to let the user of TDX to make sure the tdx_cpu_enable() has been done successfully when the user wants to use particular cpu for TDX.
- Thus, moved per-cpu initialization out of tdx_enable(). Now tdx_enable() just assumes VMXON and tdx_cpu_enable() has been done on all online cpus before calling it.
- Merged the tdx_enable() skeleton patch and per-cpu initialization patch together to tell better story.
- Moved "SEAMCALL infrastructure" patch before the tdx_enable() patch.

== Background ==

TDX introduces a new CPU mode called Secure Arbitration Mode (SEAM) and a new isolated range pointed by the SEAM Ranger Register (SEAMRR). A CPU-attested software module called 'the TDX module' runs in the new isolated region as a trusted hypervisor to create/run protected VMs.

TDX also leverages Intel Multi-Key Total Memory Encryption (MKTME) to provide crypto-protection to the VMs. TDX reserves part of MKTME KeyIDs as TDX private KeyIDs, which are only accessible within the SEAM mode.

TDX is different from AMD SEV/SEV-ES/SEV-SNP, which uses a dedicated secure processor to provide crypto-protection. The firmware runs on the secure processor acts a similar role as the TDX module.

The host kernel communicates with SEAM software via a new SEAMCALL instruction. This is conceptually similar to a guest->host hypercall, except it is made from the host to SEAM software instead.

Before being able to manage TD guests, the TDX module must be loaded and properly initialized. This series assumes the TDX module is loaded by BIOS before the kernel boots.

How to initialize the TDX module is described at TDX module 1.0 specification, chapter "13.Intel TDX Module Lifecycle: Enumeration, Initialization and Shutdown".

== Design Considerations ==

1. Initialize the TDX module at runtime

There are basically two ways the TDX module could be initialized: either in early boot, or at runtime before the first TDX guest is run. This series implements the runtime initialization.

Also, TDX requires a per-cpu initialization SEAMCALL to be done before making any SEAMCALL on that cpu.

This series adds two functions: tdx_cpu_enable() and tdx_enable() to do per-cpu initialization and module initialization respectively.

2. CPU hotplug

DX doesn't support physical (ACPI) CPU hotplug. A non-buggy BIOS should never support hotpluggable CPU devicee and/or deliver ACPI CPU hotplug event to the kernel. This series doesn't handle physical (ACPI) CPU hotplug at all but depends on the BIOS to behave correctly.

Also, tdx_cpu_enable() will simply return error for any hot-added cpu if something insane happened.

Note TDX works with CPU logical online/offline, thus this series still allows to do logical CPU online/offline.

3. Kernel policy on TDX memory

The TDX module reports a list of "Convertible Memory Region" (CMR) to indicate which memory regions are TDX-capable. The TDX architecture allows the VMM to designate specific convertible memory regions as usable for TDX private memory.

The initial support of TDX guests will only allocate TDX private memory from the global page allocator. This series chooses to designate _all_ system RAM in the core-mm at the time of initializing TDX module as TDX memory to guarantee all pages in the page allocator are TDX pages.

4. Memory Hotplug

After the kernel passes all "TDX-usable" memory regions to the TDX module, the set of "TDX-usable" memory regions are fixed during module's runtime. No more "TDX-usable" memory can be added to the TDX module after that.

To achieve above "to guarantee all pages in the page allocator are TDX pages", this series simply choose to reject any non-TDX-usable memory in memory hotplug.

5. Physical Memory Hotplug

Note TDX assumes convertible memory is always physically present during machine's runtime. A non-buggy BIOS should never support hot-removal of any convertible memory. This implementation doesn't handle ACPI memory removal but depends on the BIOS to behave correctly.

Also, if something insane really happened, 4) makes sure either TDX cannot be enabled or hot-added memory will be rejected after TDX gets enabled.

6. Kexec()

Similar to AMD's SME, in kexec() kernel needs to flush dirty cachelines of TDX private memory otherwise they may silently corrupt the new kernel.

7. TDX erratum

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.

The fast warm reset reboot doesn't reset TDX private memory. With this erratum, all TDX private pages needs to be converted back to normal before a fast warm reset reboot or booting to the new kernel in kexec(). Otherwise, the new kernel may get unexpected machine check.

In normal condition, triggering the erratum in Linux requires some kind of kernel bug involving relatively exotic memory writes to TDX private memory and will manifest via spurious-looking machine checks when reading the affected memory. Machine check handler is improved to deal with such machine check.

PATCH v11 1/20 x86/tdx: Define TDX supported page sizes as macros

TDX supports 4K, 2M and 1G page sizes. The corresponding values are defined by the TDX module spec and used as TDX module ABI. Currently, they are used in try_accept_one() when the TDX guest tries to accept a page. However currently try_accept_one() uses hard-coded magic values.

Define TDX supported page sizes as macros and get rid of the hard-coded values in try_accept_one(). TDX host support will need to use them too.

PATCH v11 2/20 x86/virt/tdx: Detect TDX during kernel boot

In reply to Kai Huang

Intel Trust Domain Extensions (TDX) protects guest VMs from malicious host and certain physical attacks. A CPU-attested software module called 'the TDX module' runs inside a new isolated memory range as a trusted hypervisor to manage and run protected VMs.

Pre-TDX Intel hardware has support for a memory encryption architecture called MKTME. The memory encryption hardware underpinning MKTME is also used for Intel TDX. TDX ends up "stealing" some of the physical address space from the MKTME architecture for crypto-protection to VMs. The BIOS is responsible for partitioning the "KeyID" space between legacy MKTME and TDX. The KeyIDs reserved for TDX are called 'TDX private KeyIDs' or 'TDX KeyIDs' for short.

TDX doesn't trust the BIOS. During machine boot, TDX verifies the TDX private KeyIDs are consistently and correctly programmed by the BIOS across all CPU packages before it enables TDX on any CPU core. A valid TDX private KeyID range on BSP indicates TDX has been enabled by the BIOS, otherwise the BIOS is buggy.

The TDX module is expected to be loaded by the BIOS when it enables TDX, but the kernel needs to properly initialize it before it can be used to create and run any TDX guests. The TDX module will be initialized by the KVM subsystem when KVM wants to use TDX.

Add a new early_initcall(tdx_init) to detect the TDX by detecting TDX private KeyIDs. Also add a function to report whether TDX is enabled by the BIOS. Similar to AMD SME, kexec() will use it to determine whether cache flush is needed.

The TDX module itself requires one TDX KeyID as the 'TDX global KeyID' to protect its metadata. Each TDX guest also needs a TDX KeyID for its own protection. Just use the first TDX KeyID as the global KeyID and leave the rest for TDX guests. If no TDX KeyID is left for TDX guests, disable TDX as initializing the TDX module alone is useless.

To start to support TDX, create a new arch/x86/virt/vmx/tdx/tdx.c for TDX host kernel support. Add a new Kconfig option CONFIG_INTEL_TDX_HOST to opt-in TDX host kernel support (to distinguish with TDX guest kernel support). So far only KVM uses TDX. Make the new config option depend on KVM_INTEL.

---

v10 -> v11 (David):

- Slight changelog update according to above changes.

v7 -> v8: (address Dave's comments)
- Improved changelog:
- "KVM user" -> "The TDX module will be initialized by KVM when ..."
- Changed "tdx_int" part to "Just say what this patch is doing"
- Fixed the last sentence of "kexec()" paragraph
- detect_tdx() -> record_keyid_partitioning()
- Improved how to calculate tdx_keyid_start.
- tdx_keyid_num -> nr_tdx_keyids.
- Improved dmesg printing.

v6 -> v7:
- No change.

v5 -> v6:
- Removed SEAMRR detection to make code simpler.
- Removed the 'default N' in the KVM_TDX_HOST Kconfig (Kirill).

Intel Trust Domain Extensions (TDX) protects guest VMs from malicious host and certain physical attacks. A CPU-attested software module called 'the TDX module' runs inside a new isolated memory range as a trusted hypervisor to manage and run protected VMs.

Pre-TDX Intel hardware has support for a memory encryption architecture called MKTME. The memory encryption hardware underpinning MKTME is also used for Intel TDX. TDX ends up "stealing" some of the physical address space from the MKTME architecture for crypto-protection to VMs. The BIOS is responsible for partitioning the "KeyID" space between legacy MKTME and TDX. The KeyIDs reserved for TDX are called 'TDX private KeyIDs' or 'TDX KeyIDs' for short.

TDX doesn't trust the BIOS. During machine boot, TDX verifies the TDX private KeyIDs are consistently and correctly programmed by the BIOS across all CPU packages before it enables TDX on any CPU core. A valid TDX private KeyID range on BSP indicates TDX has been enabled by the BIOS, otherwise the BIOS is buggy.

The TDX module is expected to be loaded by the BIOS when it enables TDX, but the kernel needs to properly initialize it before it can be used to create and run any TDX guests. The TDX module will be initialized by the KVM subsystem when KVM wants to use TDX.

Add a new early_initcall(tdx_init) to detect the TDX by detecting TDX private KeyIDs. Also add a function to report whether TDX is enabled by the BIOS. Similar to AMD SME, kexec() will use it to determine whether cache flush is needed.

The TDX module itself requires one TDX KeyID as the 'TDX global KeyID' to protect its metadata. Each TDX guest also needs a TDX KeyID for its own protection. Just use the first TDX KeyID as the global KeyID and leave the rest for TDX guests. If no TDX KeyID is left for TDX guests, disable TDX as initializing the TDX module alone is useless.

To start to support TDX, create a new arch/x86/virt/vmx/tdx/tdx.c for TDX host kernel support. Add a new Kconfig option CONFIG_INTEL_TDX_HOST to opt-in TDX host kernel support (to distinguish with TDX guest kernel support). So far only KVM uses TDX. Make the new config option depend on KVM_INTEL.

---

v10 -> v11 (David):
- "host kernel" -> "the host kernel"
- "protected VM" -> "confidential VM".
- Moved setting tdx_global_keyid to the end of tdx_init().

v9 -> v10:
- No change.

v8 -> v9:
- Moved MSR macro from local tdx.h to <asm/msr-index.h> (Dave).
- Moved reserving the TDX global KeyID from later patch to here.
- Changed 'tdx_keyid_start' and 'nr_tdx_keyids' to 'tdx_guest_keyid_start' and 'tdx_nr_guest_keyids' to represent KeyIDs can be used by guest. (Dave)
- Slight changelog update according to above changes.

v7 -> v8: (address Dave's comments)
- Improved changelog:
- "KVM user" -> "The TDX module will be initialized by KVM when ..."
- Changed "tdx_int" part to "Just say what this patch is doing"
- Fixed the last sentence of "kexec()" paragraph
- detect_tdx() -> record_keyid_partitioning()
- Improved how to calculate tdx_keyid_start.
- tdx_keyid_num -> nr_tdx_keyids.
- Improved dmesg printing.
- Add comment to clear_tdx().

v6 -> v7:
- No change.

v5 -> v6:
- Removed SEAMRR detection to make code simpler.
- Removed the 'default N' in the KVM_TDX_HOST Kconfig (Kirill).
- Changed to use 'obj-y' in arch/x86/virt/vmx/tdx/Makefile (Kirill).

Yeah in general I agree but I chose to have "tdx_*" because it allows me to easily distinguish function local variables and static variables, especially this file contains more than ~1500 LoC (it also makes life easier to name the local variables). So I'd like to keep the "tdx_*".

PATCH v11 4/20 x86/cpu: Detect TDX partial write machine check erratum

In reply to Kai Huang

TDX memory has integrity and confidentiality protections. Violations of this integrity protection are supposed to only affect TDX operations and are never supposed to affect the host kernel itself. In other words, the host kernel should never, itself, see machine checks induced by the TDX integrity hardware.

Alas, 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.

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.

With this erratum, there are additional things need to be done around machine check handler and kexec(), etc. Similar to other CPU bugs, use a CPU bug bit to indicate this erratum, and detect this erratum during early boot. Note this bug reflects the hardware thus it is detected regardless of whether the kernel is built with TDX support or not.

Initcall? Don't we already have a codepath to call it directly? Maybe cpu_set_bug_bits()?

I didn't like doing in cpu_set_bug_bits() because it appears the bugs that handled in that function seem to have some dependency. For instance, if a CPU is in the whitelist of NO_SPECULATION, then this function simply returns and assumes all other bugs are not present:

static void __init cpu_set_bug_bits(struct cpuinfo_x86 *c)

{                       
        u64 ia32_cap = x86_read_arch_cap_msr();
                                
	...

        if (cpu_matches(cpu_vuln_whitelist, NO_SPECULATION))
                return;

        setup_force_cpu_bug(X86_BUG_SPECTRE_V1);
	
	...
}

This TDX erratum is quite self contained thus I think using some initcall is the cleanest way to do.

And there are other bug flags that are handled in other places but not in cpu_set_bug_bits(), for instance,

static void init_intel(struct cpuinfo_x86 *c)

{               
	...

        if (c->x86 == 6 && boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_MWAIT) &&
                ((c->x86_model == INTEL_FAM6_ATOM_GOLDMONT)))
                set_cpu_bug(c, X86_BUG_MONITOR);

	...
}

So it seems there's no hard rule that all bugs need to be done in cpu_set_bug_bits().

Yes, CPU identify is a mess, but initcall makes it worse. Initcall is lazy way out that contributes to the mess. Maybe cpu_set_bug_bits() is the wrong place, find the right one.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for reviewing and providing the tag. However I found there's a bug if we use early_initcall() to detect erratum here -- in the later kexec() patch, the early_initcall(tdx_init) sets up the x86_platform.memory_shutdown() callback to reset TDX private memory depending on presence of the erratum, but there's no guarantee detecting erratum will be done before tdx_init() because they are both early_initcall().

Kirill also said early_initcall() isn't the right place so I changed to do the detection to earlier phase in bsp_init_intel(), because we just need to match cpu once for BSP assuming CPU model is consistent across all cpus (which is the assumption of x86_match_cpu() anyway).

Please let me know for any comments?

So, ordinary writes to TD private memory are not a problem? I thought one motivation for the unmapped-guest-memory discussion was to prevent host (userspace) writes to such memory because it would trigger a MC and eventually crash the host.

I recall that this would happen easily (not just in some weird "partial" case and that the spec would allow for it)

1) Does that, in general, not happen anymore (was the hardware fixed?)?

2) Will new hardware prevent/"fix" that completely (was the spec updated?)?

... or was my understanding wrong?

Thanks!

Re: [PATCH v11 04/20] x86/cpu: Detect TDX partial write machine check erratum

Quoted 13 lines · David Hildenbrand
Quoted 12 lines · Kai Huang

TDX memory has integrity and confidentiality protections. Violations of this integrity protection are supposed to only affect TDX operations and are never supposed to affect the host kernel itself. In other words, the host kernel should never, itself, see machine checks induced by the TDX integrity hardware.

Alas, 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.

Quoted 7 lines
Quoted 4 lines

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.

So, ordinary writes to TD private memory are not a problem?

Not a problem for the kernel as such write won't poison the memory directly, so if the kernel reads those memory there won't be #MC.

However if TDX guest reads those memory (which was previous written by kernel or userspace), the memory is marked as poison when read and #MC is triggered.

Quoted 4 lines

I thought
one motivation for the unmapped-guest-memory discussion was to prevent host (userspace) writes to such memory because it would trigger a MC and eventually crash the host.

Yeah the #MC will be triggered inside the TDX guest. I think in most cases such #MC won't cause host kernel crash but only the victim TDX guest is killed. But there might be some cases we may not be able to handle #MC gracefully, e.g., in some particular BIOS setting. One example is with LMCE disabled, any #MC would be broadcast to all LPs causing all other TDX guests running on other LPs being killed.

Also quoted from Chao, Peng, who has been working on the unmapped-guest-memory since early time:

"
The problem is we may not always be able to handle #MC gracefully, in some configurations (BIOS settings) the #MC can cause the whole system reset, not just kill the TD. At least this is the original motivation for Intel to start this series. I think the case is still true unless I missed something. From KVM community, they have motivation to unmap the private memory from userspace even the #MC is not fatal, just to prevent possible unintended accesses from userspace (that's why they ask AMD to use this series even their machine doesn't cause system reset when the same happens).
"

Quoted 3 lines

I recall that this would happen easily (not just in some weird "partial" case and that the spec would allow for it)

No as mentioned above, this partial write #MC is different from the one triggered in TDX guest as mentioned above.

Quoted 4 lines

1) Does that, in general, not happen anymore (was the hardware fixed?)?

2) Will new hardware prevent/"fix" that completely (was the spec updated?)?

Yes this erratum will be fixed in later generations of TDX hardware. It only appears on SPR and EMR (the first two generations of TDX hardware).

Those are two different problems.

Problem #1 (this patch): The host encounters poison when going about its normal business accessing normal memory. This happens when something in the host accidentally clobbers some TDX memory and *then* reads it. Only occurs with partial writes.

Problem #2 (addressed with unmapping): Host *userspace* intentionally and maliciously clobbers some TDX memory and then the TDX module or a TDX guest can't run because the memory integrity checks (checksum or TD bit) fail. This can also take the system down because #MC's are nasty.

Host userspace unmapping doesn't prevent problem #1 because it's the kernel who screwed up with the _kernel_ mapping.

Ahh, thanks for verifying. I was hoping that problem #2 would get fixed in HW as well (and treated like a BUG).

Because problem #2 also sounds like something that directly violates the first paragraph of this patch description "violations of this integrity protection are supposed to only affect TDX operations and
are never supposed to affect the host kernel itself."

So I would expect the TDX guest to fail hard, but not other TDX guests (or the host kernel).

No, it's really working as designed.

#1 _can_ be fixed because the hardware can just choose to let the host run merrily along corrupting TDX data and blissfully unaware of the carnage until TDX stumbles on the mess. Blissful ignorance really is a useful feature here. It means, for instance, that if the kernel screws up, it can still blissfully kexec(), reboot , boot a new kernel, or dump to the console without fear of #MC.

#2 is much harder because the TDX data is destroyed and yet the TDX side still wants to run. The SEV folks chose page faults on write to stop SEV from running and the TDX folks chose #MC on reads as the mechanism.

All of the nastiness on the TDX side is (IMNHO) really a consequence of that decision to use machine checks.

(Aside: I'm not specifically crapping on the TDX CPU designers here. I
don't particularly like the SEV approach either. But this mess is a result of the TDX design choices. There are other messes in other patch series from SEV. )

This is more fallout from the #MC design choice.

Let's use page faults as an example since our SEV friends are using them. *ANY* instruction that reads memory can page fault, have the kernel fix up the fault, and continue merrily along its way.

#MC is fundamentally different. The exceptions can be declared to be unrecoverable. The CPU says, "whoopsie, I managed to deliver this #MC, but it would be too hard for me so I can't continue." These "too hard" scenarios are shrinking over time, but they do exist. They're fatal.

PATCH v11 5/20 x86/virt/tdx: Add SEAMCALL infrastructure

In reply to Kai Huang

TDX introduces a new CPU mode: Secure Arbitration Mode (SEAM). This mode runs only the TDX module itself or other code to load the TDX module.

The host kernel communicates with SEAM software via a new SEAMCALL instruction. This is conceptually similar to a guest->host hypercall, except it is made from the host to SEAM software instead. The TDX module establishes a new SEAMCALL ABI which allows the host to initialize the module and to manage VMs.

Add infrastructure to make SEAMCALLs. The SEAMCALL ABI is very similar to the TDCALL ABI and leverages much TDCALL infrastructure.

SEAMCALL instruction causes #GP when TDX isn't BIOS enabled, and #UD when CPU is not in VMX operation. Currently, only KVM code mocks with VMX enabling, and KVM is the only user of TDX. This implementation chooses to make KVM itself responsible for enabling VMX before using TDX and let the rest of the kernel stay blissfully unaware of VMX.

The current TDX_MODULE_CALL macro handles neither #GP nor #UD. The kernel would hit Oops if SEAMCALL were mistakenly made w/o enabling VMX first. Architecturally, there is no CPU flag to check whether the CPU is in VMX operation. Also, if a BIOS were buggy, it could still report valid TDX private KeyIDs when TDX actually couldn't be enabled.

Extend the TDX_MODULE_CALL macro to handle #UD and #GP to return error codes. Introduce two new TDX error codes for them respectively so the caller can distinguish.

Also add a wrapper function of SEAMCALL to convert SEAMCALL error code to the kernel error code, and print out SEAMCALL error code to help the user to understand what went wrong.

---

v10 -> v11:
- No update

v9 -> v10:
- Make the TDX_SEAMCALL_{GP|UD} error codes unconditional but doesn't define them when INTEL_TDX_HOST is enabled. (Dave)
- Slightly improved changelog to explain why add assembly code to handle #UD and #GP.

v8 -> v9:
- Changed patch title (Dave).
- Enhanced seamcall() to include the cpu id to the error message when SEAMCALL fails.

v7 -> v8:
- Improved changelog (Dave):
- Trim down some sentences (Dave).
- Removed __seamcall() and seamcall() function name and changed accordingly (Dave).
- Improved the sentence explaining why to handle #GP (Dave).
- Added code to print out error message in seamcall(), following the idea that tdx_enable() to return universal error and print out error message to make clear what's going wrong (Dave). Also mention this in changelog.

v6 -> v7:
- No change.

v5 -> v6:
- Added code to handle #UD and #GP (Dave).
- Moved the seamcall() wrapper function to this patch, and used a temporary __always_unused to avoid compile warning (Dave).

- v3 -> v5 (no feedback on v4):
- Explicitly tell TDX_SEAMCALL_VMFAILINVALID is returned if the SEAMCALL itself fails.
- Improve the changelog.

Re: [PATCH v11 05/20] x86/virt/tdx: Add SEAMCALL infrastructure

In reply to Kai Huang
Quoted 10 lines · Kai Huang

TDX introduces a new CPU mode: Secure Arbitration Mode (SEAM). This mode runs only the TDX module itself or other code to load the TDX module.

The host kernel communicates with SEAM software via a new SEAMCALL instruction. This is conceptually similar to a guest->host hypercall, except it is made from the host to SEAM software instead. The TDX module establishes a new SEAMCALL ABI which allows the host to initialize the module and to manage VMs.

Quoted 5 lines

Add infrastructure to make SEAMCALLs. The SEAMCALL ABI is very similar to the TDCALL ABI and leverages much TDCALL infrastructure.

SEAMCALL instruction causes #GP when TDX isn't BIOS enabled, and #UD when CPU is not in VMX operation. Currently, only KVM code mocks with

"mocks"? Did you mean "mucks"?

Quoted 9 lines

VMX enabling, and KVM is the only user of TDX. This implementation chooses to make KVM itself responsible for enabling VMX before using TDX and let the rest of the kernel stay blissfully unaware of VMX.

The current TDX_MODULE_CALL macro handles neither #GP nor #UD. The kernel would hit Oops if SEAMCALL were mistakenly made w/o enabling VMX first. Architecturally, there is no CPU flag to check whether the CPU is in VMX operation. Also, if a BIOS were buggy, it could still report valid TDX private KeyIDs when TDX actually couldn't be enabled.

I'm not sure this is a great justification. If the BIOS is lying to the OS, we _should_ oops.

How else can this happen other than silly kernel bugs. It's OK to oops in the face of silly kernel bugs.

This fails to distinguish two very different things:

and

"Errors" are normal. Hypercalls can return errors and so can SEAMCALLs.
No biggie.

But SEAMCALL failures are another matter. They mean that something really fundamental is *BROKEN*.

Just saying "SEAMCALL was successful" is a bit ambiguous for me.

I think the justification for doing the #UD/#GP handling is a bit weak. In the end, it gets us a nicer error message. Is that error message *REALLY* needed? Or is an oops OK in the very rare circumstance that the BIOS is totally buggy?

Hi Dave,

As I replied in another email, the main reason is to return an error code instead of Oops when tdx_enable() is called mistakenly when CPU isn't in VMX operation. Also in this version, the machine check handler can call SEAMCALL legally when CPU isn't in VMX operation.

I once mentioned alternatively we could check CR4.VMXE to see whether CPU is in VMX operation but looks you preferred to use EXTTABLE. From hardware's point of view, checking CR4.VMXE isn't enough, although currently setting it and doing VMXON are always done together with IRQ disabled.

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/T/#m6e5673a191254bf36f48083cd215f7ff8f2b315b

How about I add below to the changelog?

"
The current TDX_MODULE_CALL macro handles neither #GP nor #UD. The kernel would hit Oops if SEAMCALL were mistakenly made when TDX is enabled by the BIOS or when CPU isn't in VMX operation. For the former, the callers could check platform_tdx_enabled() first, although that doesn't rule out the buggy BIOS in which case the kernel could still get Oops. For the latter, the caller could check CR4.VMXE based on the fact that currently setting this bit and doing VMXON are done together when IRQ is disabled, although from hardware's perspective checking CR4.VMXE isn't enough.

However this could be problematic if SEAMCALL is called in the cases such as exception handler, NMI handler, etc, as disabling IRQ doesn't prevent any of them from happening.

To have a clean solution, just make the SEAMCALL always return error code by using EXTTABLE so the SEAMCALL can be safely called in any context. A later patch will need to use SEAMCALL in the machine check handler. There might be such use cases in the future too.

No, that's just word salad.

SEAMCALL is like VMRESUME. It's will be called by KVM in unsafe (VMX off) contexts in normal operation like "reboot -f". That means it needs an exception handler for #UD(???).

I don't care if a bad BIOS can cause #GP. Bad BIOS == oops. You can argue that even if I don't care, it's worth having a nice error message and a common place for SEAMCALL error handling. But it's not functionally needed.

TDX introduces a new CPU mode: Secure Arbitration Mode (SEAM). This mode runs only the TDX module itself or other code to load the TDX module.

The host kernel communicates with SEAM software via a new SEAMCALL instruction. This is conceptually similar to a guest->host hypercall, except it is made from the host to SEAM software instead. The TDX module establishes a new SEAMCALL ABI which allows the host to initialize the module and to manage VMs.

I'm not sure this is a great justification. If the BIOS is lying to the OS, we _should_ oops.

How else can this happen other than silly kernel bugs. It's OK to oops in the face of silly kernel bugs.

I think the justification for doing the #UD/#GP handling is a bit weak. In the end, it gets us a nicer error message. Is that error message *REALLY* needed? Or is an oops OK in the very rare circumstance that the BIOS is totally buggy?

...

It's not just for the "BIOS buggy" case. The main purpose is to give an error message when the caller mistakenly calls tdx_enable().

Also, now the machine check handler improvement patch also calls SEAMCALL to get a given page's page type. It's totally legal that a machine check happens when the CPU isn't in VMX operation (e.g. KVM isn't loaded), and in fact we use the SEAMCALL return value to detect whether CPU is in VMX operation and handles such case accordingly.

PATCH v11 6/20 x86/virt/tdx: Handle SEAMCALL running out of entropy error

In reply to Kai Huang

Certain SEAMCALL leaf functions may return error due to running out of entropy, in which case the SEAMCALL should be retried as suggested by the TDX spec.

Handle this case in SEAMCALL common function. Mimic the existing rdrand_long() to retry RDRAND_RETRY_LOOPS times.

Do you prefer below?

Certain SEAMCALL leaf functions may return error due to running out of entropy (e.g., RDRAND or RDSEED), in which case the SEAMCALL should be retried as suggested by the TDX spec.

Handle this case in SEAMCALL common function. Based on the SDM there's no big difference between RDRAND and RDSEED except the latter is "compliant to NIST SP800-90B and NIST SP800-90C in the XOR construction mode". Just Mimic the existing rdrand_long() to retry RDRAND_RETRY_LOOPS times.

The TDX spec says "e.g., RDRAND or RDSEED".

Let's just say something a bit more useful and ambiguous:

Some SEAMCALLs use the RDRAND hardware and can fail for the same reasons as RDRAND. Use the kernel RDRAND retry logic for them.

We don't need to say "RDRAND and RDSEED", just saying "RDRAND hardware" is fine. Everybody knows what you mean.

PATCH v11 7/20 x86/virt/tdx: Add skeleton to enable TDX on demand

In reply to Kai Huang

To enable TDX the kernel needs to initialize TDX from two perspectives:
1) Do a set of SEAMCALLs to initialize the TDX module to make it ready to create and run TDX guests; 2) Do the per-cpu initialization SEAMCALL on one logical cpu before the kernel wants to make any other SEAMCALLs on that cpu (including those involved during module initialization and running TDX guests).

The TDX module can be initialized only once in its lifetime. Instead of always initializing it at boot time, this implementation chooses an "on demand" approach to initialize TDX until there is a real need (e.g when requested by KVM). This approach has below pros:

1) It avoids consuming the memory that must be allocated by kernel and given to the TDX module as metadata (~1/256th of the TDX-usable memory), and also saves the CPU cycles of initializing the TDX module (and the metadata) when TDX is not used at all.

2) The TDX module design allows it to be updated while the system is running. The update procedure shares quite a few steps with this "on demand" initialization mechanism. The hope is that much of "on demand" mechanism can be shared with a future "update" mechanism. A boot-time TDX module implementation would not be able to share much code with the update mechanism.

3) Making SEAMCALL requires VMX to be enabled. Currently, only the KVM code mucks with VMX enabling. If the TDX module were to be initialized separately from KVM (like at boot), the boot code would need to be taught how to muck with VMX enabling and KVM would need to be taught how to cope with that. Making KVM itself responsible for TDX initialization lets the rest of the kernel stay blissfully unaware of VMX.

Similar to module initialization, also make the per-cpu initialization "on demand" as it also depends on VMX being enabled.

Add two functions, tdx_enable() and tdx_cpu_enable(), to enable the TDX module and enable TDX on local cpu respectively. For now tdx_enable() is a placeholder. The TODO list will be pared down as functionality is added.

In tdx_enable() use a state machine protected by mutex to make sure the initialization will only be done once, as tdx_enable() can be called multiple times (i.e. KVM module can be reloaded) and may be called concurrently by other kernel components in the future.

The per-cpu initialization on each cpu can only be done once during the module's life time. Use a per-cpu variable to track its status to make sure it is only done once in tdx_cpu_enable().

Also, a SEAMCALL to do TDX module global initialization must be done once on any logical cpu before any per-cpu initialization SEAMCALL. Do it inside tdx_cpu_enable() too (if hasn't been done).

tdx_enable() can potentially invoke SEAMCALLs on any online cpus. The per-cpu initialization must be done before those SEAMCALLs are invoked on some cpu. To keep things simple, in tdx_cpu_enable(), always do the per-cpu initialization regardless of whether the TDX module has been initialized or not. And in tdx_enable(), don't call tdx_cpu_enable() but assume the caller has disabled CPU hotplug, done VMXON and tdx_cpu_enable() on all online cpus before calling tdx_enable().

---

v10 -> v11:
- Return -NODEV instead of -EINVAL when CONFIG_INTEL_TDX_HOST is off.
- Return the actual error code for tdx_enable() instead of -EINVAL.
- Added Isaku's Reviewed-by.

v9 -> v10:
- Merged the patch to handle per-cpu initialization to this patch to tell the story better.
- Changed how to handle the per-cpu initialization to only provide a tdx_cpu_enable() function to let the user of TDX to do it when the user wants to run TDX code on a certain cpu.
- Changed tdx_enable() to not call cpus_read_lock() explicitly, but call lockdep_assert_cpus_held() to assume the caller has done that.
- Improved comments around tdx_enable() and tdx_cpu_enable().
- Improved changelog to tell the story better accordingly.

v8 -> v9:
- Removed detailed TODO list in the changelog (Dave).
- Added back steps to do module global initialization and per-cpu initialization in the TODO list comment.
- Moved the 'enum tdx_module_status_t' from tdx.c to local tdx.h

v7 -> v8:
- Refined changelog (Dave).
- Removed "all BIOS-enabled cpus" related code (Peter/Thomas/Dave).
- Add a "TODO list" comment in init_tdx_module() to list all steps of initializing the TDX Module to tell the story (Dave).
- Made tdx_enable() unverisally return -EINVAL, and removed nonsense comments (Dave).
- Simplified __tdx_enable() to only handle success or failure.
- TDX_MODULE_SHUTDOWN -> TDX_MODULE_ERROR
- Removed TDX_MODULE_NONE (not loaded) as it is not necessary.
- Improved comments (Dave).
- Pointed out 'tdx_module_status' is software thing (Dave).

v6 -> v7:
- No change.

v5 -> v6:
- Added code to set status to TDX_MODULE_NONE if TDX module is not loaded (Chao)
- Added Chao's Reviewed-by.
- Improved comments around cpus_read_lock().

- v3->v5 (no feedback on v4):
- Removed the check that SEAMRR and TDX KeyID have been detected on all present cpus.
- Removed tdx_detect().
- Added num_online_cpus() to MADT-enabled CPUs check within the CPU hotplug lock and return early with error message.
- Improved dmesg printing for TDX module detection and initialization.

Please include errno.h.
In the case of !INTEL_TDX_HOST && INTEL_TDX_GUEST, drivers/virt/coco/tdx-guest/tdx-guest.c results in compile error.

Although there are other files that include asm/tdx.h, they seem to luckily include errno.h directly or indirectly.

I've changed to -ENODEV which doesn't cause build error in my test.

I agree it's better to include errno.h explicitly but IMHO it's a problem in the existing upstream code (tdx_kvm_hypercall() returns -ENODEV when INTEL_TDX_GUEST is off), thus should be addressed in a separate patch but not folded into this one.

Since now there's no build error, I hesitated to added such patch. I can do it separately if it should be addressed.

Re: [PATCH v11 07/20] x86/virt/tdx: Add skeleton to enable TDX on demand

In reply to Kai Huang
Quoted 157 lines · Kai Huang

To enable TDX the kernel needs to initialize TDX from two perspectives:
1) Do a set of SEAMCALLs to initialize the TDX module to make it ready to create and run TDX guests; 2) Do the per-cpu initialization SEAMCALL on one logical cpu before the kernel wants to make any other SEAMCALLs on that cpu (including those involved during module initialization and running TDX guests).

The TDX module can be initialized only once in its lifetime. Instead of always initializing it at boot time, this implementation chooses an "on demand" approach to initialize TDX until there is a real need (e.g when requested by KVM). This approach has below pros:

1) It avoids consuming the memory that must be allocated by kernel and given to the TDX module as metadata (~1/256th of the TDX-usable memory), and also saves the CPU cycles of initializing the TDX module (and the metadata) when TDX is not used at all.

2) The TDX module design allows it to be updated while the system is running. The update procedure shares quite a few steps with this "on demand" initialization mechanism. The hope is that much of "on demand" mechanism can be shared with a future "update" mechanism. A boot-time TDX module implementation would not be able to share much code with the update mechanism.

3) Making SEAMCALL requires VMX to be enabled. Currently, only the KVM code mucks with VMX enabling. If the TDX module were to be initialized separately from KVM (like at boot), the boot code would need to be taught how to muck with VMX enabling and KVM would need to be taught how to cope with that. Making KVM itself responsible for TDX initialization lets the rest of the kernel stay blissfully unaware of VMX.

Similar to module initialization, also make the per-cpu initialization "on demand" as it also depends on VMX being enabled.

Add two functions, tdx_enable() and tdx_cpu_enable(), to enable the TDX module and enable TDX on local cpu respectively. For now tdx_enable() is a placeholder. The TODO list will be pared down as functionality is added.

In tdx_enable() use a state machine protected by mutex to make sure the initialization will only be done once, as tdx_enable() can be called multiple times (i.e. KVM module can be reloaded) and may be called concurrently by other kernel components in the future.

The per-cpu initialization on each cpu can only be done once during the module's life time. Use a per-cpu variable to track its status to make sure it is only done once in tdx_cpu_enable().

Also, a SEAMCALL to do TDX module global initialization must be done once on any logical cpu before any per-cpu initialization SEAMCALL. Do it inside tdx_cpu_enable() too (if hasn't been done).

Why can't you have a pcpu "bool tdx_lp_initialized" and "bool tdx_global_initialized"?

I mean, if there was an error during previous initialization, it's not initialized: you'd try initializing again -- and possibly fail again -- on the next attempt. I doubt that a "try to cache failed status to keep failing fast" is really required.

Is there any other reason (e.g., second init attempt would set your computer on fire) why it can't be simpler?

Re: [PATCH v11 07/20] x86/virt/tdx: Add skeleton to enable TDX on demand

Quoted 177 lines · David Hildenbrand
Quoted 157 lines · Kai Huang

To enable TDX the kernel needs to initialize TDX from two perspectives:
1) Do a set of SEAMCALLs to initialize the TDX module to make it ready to create and run TDX guests; 2) Do the per-cpu initialization SEAMCALL on one logical cpu before the kernel wants to make any other SEAMCALLs on that cpu (including those involved during module initialization and running TDX guests).

The TDX module can be initialized only once in its lifetime. Instead of always initializing it at boot time, this implementation chooses an "on demand" approach to initialize TDX until there is a real need (e.g when requested by KVM). This approach has below pros:

1) It avoids consuming the memory that must be allocated by kernel and given to the TDX module as metadata (~1/256th of the TDX-usable memory), and also saves the CPU cycles of initializing the TDX module (and the metadata) when TDX is not used at all.

2) The TDX module design allows it to be updated while the system is running. The update procedure shares quite a few steps with this "on demand" initialization mechanism. The hope is that much of "on demand" mechanism can be shared with a future "update" mechanism. A boot-time TDX module implementation would not be able to share much code with the update mechanism.

3) Making SEAMCALL requires VMX to be enabled. Currently, only the KVM code mucks with VMX enabling. If the TDX module were to be initialized separately from KVM (like at boot), the boot code would need to be taught how to muck with VMX enabling and KVM would need to be taught how to cope with that. Making KVM itself responsible for TDX initialization lets the rest of the kernel stay blissfully unaware of VMX.

Similar to module initialization, also make the per-cpu initialization "on demand" as it also depends on VMX being enabled.

Add two functions, tdx_enable() and tdx_cpu_enable(), to enable the TDX module and enable TDX on local cpu respectively. For now tdx_enable() is a placeholder. The TODO list will be pared down as functionality is added.

In tdx_enable() use a state machine protected by mutex to make sure the initialization will only be done once, as tdx_enable() can be called multiple times (i.e. KVM module can be reloaded) and may be called concurrently by other kernel components in the future.

The per-cpu initialization on each cpu can only be done once during the module's life time. Use a per-cpu variable to track its status to make sure it is only done once in tdx_cpu_enable().

Also, a SEAMCALL to do TDX module global initialization must be done once on any logical cpu before any per-cpu initialization SEAMCALL. Do it inside tdx_cpu_enable() too (if hasn't been done).

tdx_enable() can potentially invoke SEAMCALLs on any online cpus. The per-cpu initialization must be done before those SEAMCALLs are invoked on some cpu. To keep things simple, in tdx_cpu_enable(), always do the per-cpu initialization regardless of whether the TDX module has been initialized or not. And in tdx_enable(), don't call tdx_cpu_enable() but assume the caller has disabled CPU hotplug, done VMXON and tdx_cpu_enable() on all online cpus before calling tdx_enable().

PATCH v11 8/20 x86/virt/tdx: Get information about TDX module and TDX-capable memory

In reply to Kai Huang

Start to transit out the "multi-steps" to initialize the TDX module.

TDX provides increased levels of memory confidentiality and integrity. This requires special hardware support for features like memory encryption and storage of memory integrity checksums. Not all memory satisfies these requirements.

As a result, TDX introduced the concept of a "Convertible Memory Region" (CMR). During boot, the firmware builds a list of all of the memory ranges which can provide the TDX security guarantees.

CMRs tell the kernel which memory is TDX compatible. The kernel takes CMRs (plus a little more metadata) and constructs "TD Memory Regions" (TDMRs). TDMRs let the kernel grant TDX protections to some or all of the CMR areas.

The TDX module also reports necessary information to let the kernel build TDMRs and run TDX guests in structure 'tdsysinfo_struct'. The list of CMRs, along with the TDX module information, is available to the kernel by querying the TDX module.

As a preparation to construct TDMRs, get the TDX module information and the list of CMRs. Print out CMRs to help user to decode which memory regions are TDX convertible.

The 'tdsysinfo_struct' is fairly large (1024 bytes) and contains a lot of info about the TDX module. Fully define the entire structure, but only use the fields necessary to build the TDMRs and pr_info() some basics about the module. The rest of the fields will get used by KVM.

For now both 'tdsysinfo_struct' and CMRs are only used during the module initialization. But because they are both relatively big, declare them inside the module initialization function but as static variables.

---

v10 -> v11:
- No change.

v9 -> v10:
- Added back "start to transit out..." as now per-cpu init has been moved out from tdx_enable().

v8 -> v9:
- Removed "start to trransit out ..." part in changelog since this patch is no longer the first step anymore.
- Changed to declare 'tdsysinfo' and 'cmr_array' as local static, and changed changelog accordingly (Dave).
- Improved changelog to explain why to declare 'tdsysinfo_struct' in full but only use a few members of them (Dave).

v7 -> v8: (Dave)
- Improved changelog to tell this is the first patch to transit out the "multi-steps" init_tdx_module().
- Removed all CMR check/trim code but to depend on later SEAMCALL.
- Variable 'vertical alignment' in print TDX module information.
- Added DECLARE_PADDED_STRUCT() for padded structure.
- Made tdx_sysinfo and tdx_cmr_array[] to be function local variable (and rename them accordingly), and added -Wframe-larger-than=4096 flag to silence the build warning.

v6 -> v7:
- Simplified the check of CMRs due to the fact that TDX actually verifies CMRs (that are passed by the BIOS) before enabling TDX.
- Changed the function name from check_cmrs() -> trim_empty_cmrs().
- Added CMR page aligned check so that later patch can just get the PFN using ">> PAGE_SHIFT".

v5 -> v6:
- Added to also print TDX module's attribute (Isaku).
- Removed all arguments in tdx_gete_sysinfo() to use static variables of 'tdx_sysinfo' and 'tdx_cmr_array' directly as they are all used directly in other functions in later patches.
- Added Isaku's Reviewed-by.

- v3 -> v5 (no feedback on v4):
- Renamed sanitize_cmrs() to check_cmrs().
- Removed unnecessary sanity check against tdx_sysinfo and tdx_cmr_array actual size returned by TDH.SYS.INFO.
- Changed -EFAULT to -EINVAL in couple places.
- Added comments around tdx_sysinfo and tdx_cmr_array saying they are used by TDH.SYS.INFO ABI.
- Changed to pass 'tdx_sysinfo' and 'tdx_cmr_array' as function arguments in tdx_get_sysinfo().
- Changed to only print BIOS-CMR when check_cmrs() fails.

This justification does not make sense to me. static variables will not be freed after function returned. They will still consume memory.

I think you need to allocate/free memory dynamically, if they are too big for stack.

I do need to keep tdsysinfo_struct as it will be used by KVM too. CMRs are not used by KVM now but they might get used in the future, e.g., we may want to expose them to /sys in the future.

Also it takes more lines of code to do dynamic allocation. I'd prefer the code simplicity. Dave is fine with static too, but prefers to putting them inside the function:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/T/#mbfdaa353278588da09e43f3ce37b7bf8ddedc1b2

I can update the changelog to reflect above:

For now both 'tdsysinfo_struct' and CMRs are only used during the module initialization. KVM will need to at least use
'tdsysinfo_struct'
when supporting TDX guests. For now just declare them inside the
module
initialization function but as static variables.

These structures take 1.5K of memory and the memory will be allocated for all machines that boots the kernel with TDX enabled, regardless if the machine has TDX or not. It seems very wasteful to me.

Actually, those variables are in .bss. They're allocated forever for anyone that runs a kernel that has TDX support.

Hi Dave/Kirill,

Thanks for feedback.

My understanding is you both prefer dynamic allocation. I'll change to use that. Also I will free them after module initialization as for now they are only used by module initialization.

Please let me know if you have any comments.

For now both 'tdsysinfo_struct' and CMRs are only used during the module initialization. But because they are both relatively big, declare them inside the module initialization function but as static variables.

This justification does not make sense to me. static variables will not be freed after function returned. They will still consume memory.

I think you need to allocate/free memory dynamically, if they are too big for stack.

I do need to keep tdsysinfo_struct as it will be used by KVM too.

Will you pass it down to KVM from this function? Will KVM use the struct after the function returns?

KVM needs tdsysinfo_struct to create guest TD. It doesn't require 1024-alignment.

For now, TDX KVM patch series moves the tdsysinfo out of the function, and add a getter function of it.
As long as KVM can access the info, it doesn't care how its memory is allocated. static or dynamic.

In reply to Kai Huang

Start to transit out the "multi-steps" to initialize the TDX module.

TDX provides increased levels of memory confidentiality and integrity. This requires special hardware support for features like memory encryption and storage of memory integrity checksums. Not all memory satisfies these requirements.

As a result, TDX introduced the concept of a "Convertible Memory Region" (CMR). During boot, the firmware builds a list of all of the memory ranges which can provide the TDX security guarantees.

CMRs tell the kernel which memory is TDX compatible. The kernel takes CMRs (plus a little more metadata) and constructs "TD Memory Regions" (TDMRs). TDMRs let the kernel grant TDX protections to some or all of the CMR areas.

The TDX module also reports necessary information to let the kernel build TDMRs and run TDX guests in structure 'tdsysinfo_struct'. The list of CMRs, along with the TDX module information, is available to the kernel by querying the TDX module.

As a preparation to construct TDMRs, get the TDX module information and the list of CMRs. Print out CMRs to help user to decode which memory regions are TDX convertible.

The 'tdsysinfo_struct' is fairly large (1024 bytes) and contains a lot of info about the TDX module. Fully define the entire structure, but only use the fields necessary to build the TDMRs and pr_info() some basics about the module. The rest of the fields will get used by KVM.

For now both 'tdsysinfo_struct' and CMRs are only used during the module initialization. But because they are both relatively big, declare them inside the module initialization function but as static variables.

Correct. The TDX module spec(s) says:

TDSYSINFO_STRUCT’s size is 1024B.

Which is an architectural sentence to me.

We (Intel) already published TDX IO, and TDSYSINFO_STRUCT is 1024B for all TDX module versions.

PATCH v11 9/20 x86/virt/tdx: Use all system memory when initializing TDX module as TDX memory

In reply to Kai Huang

As a step of initializing the TDX module, the kernel needs to tell the TDX module which memory regions can be used by the TDX module as TDX guest memory.

TDX reports a list of "Convertible Memory Region" (CMR) to tell the kernel which memory is TDX compatible. The kernel needs to build a list of memory regions (out of CMRs) as "TDX-usable" memory and pass them to the TDX module. Once this is done, those "TDX-usable" memory regions are fixed during module's lifetime.

To keep things simple, assume that all TDX-protected memory will come from the page allocator. Make sure all pages in the page allocator *are* TDX-usable memory.

As TDX-usable memory is a fixed configuration, take a snapshot of the memory configuration from memblocks at the time of module initialization (memblocks are modified on memory hotplug). This snapshot is used to enable TDX support for *this* memory configuration only. Use a memory hotplug notifier to ensure that no other RAM can be added outside of this configuration.

This approach requires all memblock memory regions at the time of module initialization to be TDX convertible memory to work, otherwise module initialization will fail in a later SEAMCALL when passing those regions to the module. This approach works when all boot-time "system RAM" is TDX convertible memory, and no non-TDX-convertible memory is hot-added to the core-mm before module initialization.

For instance, on the first generation of TDX machines, both CXL memory and NVDIMM are not TDX convertible memory. Using kmem driver to hot-add any CXL memory or NVDIMM to the core-mm before module initialization will result in failure to initialize the module. The SEAMCALL error code will be available in the dmesg to help user to understand the failure.

To keep things simple, assume that all TDX-protected memory will come from the page allocator. Make sure all pages in the page allocator *are* TDX-usable memory.

As TDX-usable memory is a fixed configuration, take a snapshot of the memory configuration from memblocks at the time of module initialization (memblocks are modified on memory hotplug). This snapshot is used to enable TDX support for *this* memory configuration only. Use a memory hotplug notifier to ensure that no other RAM can be added outside of this configuration.

This approach requires all memblock memory regions at the time of module initialization to be TDX convertible memory to work, otherwise module initialization will fail in a later SEAMCALL when passing those regions to the module. This approach works when all boot-time "system RAM" is TDX convertible memory, and no non-TDX-convertible memory is hot-added to the core-mm before module initialization.

For instance, on the first generation of TDX machines, both CXL memory and NVDIMM are not TDX convertible memory. Using kmem driver to hot-add any CXL memory or NVDIMM to the core-mm before module initialization will result in failure to initialize the module. The SEAMCALL error code will be available in the dmesg to help user to understand the failure.

PATCH v11 10/20 x86/virt/tdx: Add placeholder to construct TDMRs to cover all TDX memory regions

In reply to Kai Huang

After the kernel selects all TDX-usable memory regions, the kernel needs to pass those regions to the TDX module via data structure "TD Memory Region" (TDMR).

Add a placeholder to construct a list of TDMRs (in multiple steps) to cover all TDX-usable memory regions.

=== Long Version ===

TDX provides increased levels of memory confidentiality and integrity. This requires special hardware support for features like memory encryption and storage of memory integrity checksums. Not all memory satisfies these requirements.

As a result, TDX introduced the concept of a "Convertible Memory Region" (CMR). During boot, the firmware builds a list of all of the memory ranges which can provide the TDX security guarantees. The list of these ranges is available to the kernel by querying the TDX module.

The TDX architecture needs additional metadata to record things like which TD guest "owns" a given page of memory. This metadata essentially serves as the 'struct page' for the TDX module. The space for this metadata is not reserved by the hardware up front and must be allocated by the kernel and given to the TDX module.

Since this metadata consumes space, the VMM can choose whether or not to allocate it for a given area of convertible memory. If it chooses not to, the memory cannot receive TDX protections and can not be used by TDX guests as private memory.

For every memory region that the VMM wants to use as TDX memory, it sets up a "TD Memory Region" (TDMR). Each TDMR represents a physically contiguous convertible range and must also have its own physically contiguous metadata table, referred to as a Physical Address Metadata Table (PAMT), to track status for each page in the TDMR range.

Unlike a CMR, each TDMR requires 1G granularity and alignment. To support physical RAM areas that don't meet those strict requirements, each TDMR permits a number of internal "reserved areas" which can be placed over memory holes. If PAMT metadata is placed within a TDMR it must be covered by one of these reserved areas.

Let's summarize the concepts:

CMR - Firmware-enumerated physical ranges that support TDX. CMRs are
4K aligned.
TDMR - Physical address range which is chosen by the kernel to support
TDX. 1G granularity and alignment required. Each TDMR has reserved areas where TDX memory holes and overlapping PAMTs can be represented.
PAMT - Physically contiguous TDX metadata. One table for each page size
per TDMR. Roughly 1/256th of TDMR in size. 256G TDMR = ~1G PAMT.

As one step of initializing the TDX module, the kernel configures TDX-usable memory regions by passing a list of TDMRs to the TDX module.

Constructing the list of TDMRs consists below steps:

1) Fill out TDMRs to cover all memory regions that the TDX module will use for TD memory.
2) Allocate and set up PAMT for each TDMR.
3) Designate reserved areas for each TDMR.

Add a placeholder to construct TDMRs to do the above steps. To keep things simple, just allocate enough space to hold maximum number of TDMRs up front.

Keep the TDMRs if module initialization is successful. A later patch will need to use them to find PAMTs after module initialization.

---

v10 -> v11:
- Changed to keep TDMRs after module initialization to deal with TDX erratum in future patches.

v9 -> v10:
- Changed the TDMR list from static variable back to local variable as now TDX module isn't disabled when tdx_cpu_enable() fails.

v8 -> v9:
- Changes around 'struct tdmr_info_list' (Dave):
- Moved the declaration from tdx.c to tdx.h.
- Renamed 'first_tdmr' to 'tdmrs'.
- 'nr_tdmrs' -> 'nr_consumed_tdmrs'.
- Changed 'tdmrs' to 'void *'.
- Improved comments for all structure members.
- Added a missing empty line in alloc_tdmr_list() (Dave).

v7 -> v8:
- Improved changelog to tell this is one step of "TODO list" in init_tdx_module().
- Other changelog improvement suggested by Dave (with "Create TDMRs" to "Fill out TDMRs" to align with the code).
- Added a "TODO list" comment to lay out the steps to construct TDMRs, following the same idea of "TODO list" in tdx_module_init().
- Introduced 'struct tdmr_info_list' (Dave)
- Further added additional members (tdmr_sz/max_tdmrs/nr_tdmrs) to simplify getting TDMR by given index, and reduce passing arguments around functions.
- Added alloc_tdmr_list()/free_tdmr_list() accordingly, which internally uses tdmr_size_single() (Dave).
- tdmr_num -> nr_tdmrs (Dave).

v6 -> v7:
- Improved commit message to explain 'int' overflow cannot happen in cal_tdmr_size() and alloc_tdmr_array(). -- Andy/Dave.

v5 -> v6:
- construct_tdmrs_memblock() -> construct_tdmrs() as 'tdx_memblock' is used instead of memblock.
- Added Isaku's Reviewed-by.

- v3 -> v5 (no feedback on v4):
- Moved calculating TDMR size to this patch.
- Changed to use alloc_pages_exact() to allocate buffer for all TDMRs once, instead of allocating each TDMR individually.
- Removed "crypto protection" in the changelog.
- -EFAULT -> -EINVAL in couple of places.

I think that's more complicated and has more casting than necessary. This looks nicer:

	int tdmr_info_offset = tdmr_list->tdmr_sz * idx;

	return (void *)tdmr_list->first_tdmr + tdmr_info_offset;

Also, it might even be worth keeping ->first_tdmr as a void*. It isn't a real C array and keeping it as void* would keep anyone from doing:

FWIW, I think it's probably a bad idea to have 'struct tdmr_info *' types floating around since:

	tmdr_info_array[0]

works, but:

	tmdr_info_array[1]

will blow up in your face. It would almost make sense to have

struct tdmr_info_list {
	struct tdmr_info *first_tdmr;
}

and then pass around pointers to the 'struct tdmr_info_list'. Maybe that's overkill, but it is kinda silly to call something an array if [] doesn't work on it.

Personally I think it's also fine to use 'list' (e.g., we can also interpret the name from "English language"'s perspective).

PATCH v11 11/20 x86/virt/tdx: Fill out TDMRs to cover all TDX memory regions

In reply to Kai Huang

Start to transit out the "multi-steps" to construct a list of "TD Memory Regions" (TDMRs) to cover all TDX-usable memory regions.

The kernel configures TDX-usable memory regions by passing a list of TDMRs "TD Memory Regions" (TDMRs) to the TDX module. Each TDMR contains the information of the base/size of a memory region, the base/size of the associated Physical Address Metadata Table (PAMT) and a list of reserved areas in the region.

Do the first step to fill out a number of TDMRs to cover all TDX memory regions. To keep it simple, always try to use one TDMR for each memory region. As the first step only set up the base/size for each TDMR.

Each TDMR must be 1G aligned and the size must be in 1G granularity. This implies that one TDMR could cover multiple memory regions. If a memory region spans the 1GB boundary and the former part is already covered by the previous TDMR, just use a new TDMR for the remaining part.

TDX only supports a limited number of TDMRs. Disable TDX if all TDMRs are consumed but there is more memory region to cover.

There are fancier things that could be done like trying to merge adjacent TDMRs. This would allow more pathological memory layouts to be supported. But, current systems are not even close to exhausting the existing TDMR resources in practice. For now, keep it simple.

---

v10 -> v11:
- No update

v9 -> v10:
- No change.

v8 -> v9:

- Added the last paragraph in the changelog (Dave).
- Removed unnecessary type cast in tdmr_entry() (Dave).

Rather than focus in on one specific command-line parameter, let's just say:

In practice TDX supports at least 64 TDMRs. A 2-socket system typically only consumes <NUMBER> of those. This code is dumb and simple and may use more TMDRs than is strictly required.

Let's also put a pr_warn() in here if we exceed, say 1/2 or maybe 3/4 of the 64. We'll hopefully start to get reports somewhat in advance if systems get close to the limit.

Today, we're saying, "64 TMDRs out to be enough for anybody!"

I'd actually kinda like to know if anybody starts building platforms that get anywhere near using 64. That way, we won't get a bug report that TDX is broken and we'll have a fire drill. We'll get a bug report that TDX is complaining and we'll have some time to go fix it without anyone actually being broken.

Maybe not even a pr_warn(), but something that's a bit ominous and has a chance of getting users to act.

Start to transit out the "multi-steps" to construct a list of "TD Memory Regions" (TDMRs) to cover all TDX-usable memory regions.

The kernel configures TDX-usable memory regions by passing a list of TDMRs "TD Memory Regions" (TDMRs) to the TDX module. Each TDMR contains the information of the base/size of a memory region, the base/size of the associated Physical Address Metadata Table (PAMT) and a list of reserved areas in the region.

Quoted 3 lines

Do the first step to fill out a number of TDMRs to cover all TDX memory regions. To keep it simple, always try to use one TDMR for each memory region. As the first step only set up the base/size for each TDMR.

As a first step?

Quoted 43 lines

Each TDMR must be 1G aligned and the size must be in 1G granularity. This implies that one TDMR could cover multiple memory regions. If a memory region spans the 1GB boundary and the former part is already covered by the previous TDMR, just use a new TDMR for the remaining part.

TDX only supports a limited number of TDMRs. Disable TDX if all TDMRs are consumed but there is more memory region to cover.

There are fancier things that could be done like trying to merge adjacent TDMRs. This would allow more pathological memory layouts to be supported. But, current systems are not even close to exhausting the existing TDMR resources in practice. For now, keep it simple.

I don't know if clang treats it the same way, just for the sake of simplicity you might wanna change this (void *) to (char *).

I don't know if clang treats it the same way, just for the sake of simplicity you might wanna change this (void *) to (char *).

Then we will need additional cast from 'char *' to 'struct tdmr_info *' I suppose? Not sure whether it is worth the additional cast.

And I found such 'void *' arithmetic operation is already used in other kernel code too, e.g., below code in networking code:

	./net/rds/tcp_send.c:105:     (void *)&rm->m_inc.i_hdr + hdr_off,

and I believe there are other examples too (that I didn't spend a lot of time to grep).

And it seems Linus also thinks "using arithmetic on 'void *' is generally superior":

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHk-=whFKYMrF6euVvziW+drw7-yi1pYdf=uccnzJ8k09DoTXA@mail.gmail.com/t/#m983827708903c8c5bddf193343d392c9ed5af1a0

So I wouldn't worry about the Clang thing.

PATCH v11 12/20 x86/virt/tdx: Allocate and set up PAMTs for TDMRs

In reply to Kai Huang

The TDX module uses additional metadata to record things like which guest "owns" a given page of memory. This metadata, referred as Physical Address Metadata Table (PAMT), essentially serves as the 'struct page' for the TDX module. PAMTs are not reserved by hardware up front. They must be allocated by the kernel and then given to the TDX module during module initialization.

TDX supports 3 page sizes: 4K, 2M, and 1G. Each "TD Memory Region" (TDMR) has 3 PAMTs to track the 3 supported page sizes. Each PAMT must be a physically contiguous area from a Convertible Memory Region (CMR). However, the PAMTs which track pages in one TDMR do not need to reside within that TDMR but can be anywhere in CMRs. If one PAMT overlaps with any TDMR, the overlapping part must be reported as a reserved area in that particular TDMR.

Use alloc_contig_pages() since PAMT must be a physically contiguous area and it may be potentially large (~1/256th of the size of the given TDMR). The downside is alloc_contig_pages() may fail at runtime. One (bad) mitigation is to launch a TDX guest early during system boot to get those PAMTs allocated at early time, but the only way to fix is to add a boot option to allocate or reserve PAMTs during kernel boot.

It is imperfect but will be improved on later.

TDX only supports a limited number of reserved areas per TDMR to cover both PAMTs and memory holes within the given TDMR. If many PAMTs are allocated within a single TDMR, the reserved areas may not be sufficient to cover all of them.

Adopt the following policies when allocating PAMTs for a given TDMR:

- Allocate three PAMTs of the TDMR in one contiguous chunk to minimize the total number of reserved areas consumed for PAMTs.
- Try to first allocate PAMT from the local node of the TDMR for better NUMA locality.

Also dump out how many pages are allocated for PAMTs when the TDX module is initialized successfully. This helps answer the eternal "where did all my memory go?" questions.

---

v10 -> v11:
- No update

v9 -> v10:
- Removed code change in disable_tdx_module() as it doesn't exist anymore.

v8 -> v9:
- Added TDX_PS_NR macro instead of open-coding (Dave).
- Better alignment of 'pamt_entry_size' in tdmr_set_up_pamt() (Dave).
- Changed to print out PAMTs in "KBs" instead of "pages" (Dave).
- Added Dave's Reviewed-by.

v7 -> v8: (Dave)
- Changelog:
- Added a sentence to state PAMT allocation will be improved.
- Others suggested by Dave.
- Moved 'nid' of 'struct tdx_memblock' to this patch.
- Improved comments around tdmr_get_nid().
- WARN_ON_ONCE() -> pr_warn() in tdmr_get_nid().
- Other changes due to 'struct tdmr_info_list'.

v6 -> v7:
- Changes due to using macros instead of 'enum' for TDX supported page sizes.

v5 -> v6:
- Rebase due to using 'tdx_memblock' instead of memblock.
- 'int pamt_entry_nr' -> 'unsigned long nr_pamt_entries' (Dave/Sagis).
- Improved comment around tdmr_get_nid() (Dave).
- Improved comment in tdmr_set_up_pamt() around breaking the PAMT into PAMTs for 4K/2M/1G (Dave).
- tdmrs_get_pamt_pages() -> tdmrs_count_pamt_pages() (Dave).

- v3 -> v5 (no feedback on v4):
- Used memblock to get the NUMA node for given TDMR.
- Removed tdmr_get_pamt_sz() helper but use open-code instead.
- Changed to use 'switch .. case..' for each TDX supported page size in tdmr_get_pamt_sz() (the original __tdmr_get_pamt_sz()).
- Added printing out memory used for PAMT allocation when TDX module is initialized successfully.
- Explained downside of alloc_contig_pages() in changelog.
- Addressed other minor comments.

"* 4"? This is very cryptic. procfs uses "<< (PAGE_SHIFT - 10)" which slightly less magic to me. And just make the helper that returns kilobytes to begin with, if it is the only caller.

Let's look at where this data comes from:

+static unsigned long tdmrs_count_pamt_pages(struct tdmr_info_list *tdmr_list)
+{
+ unsigned long pamt_npages = 0;
+ int i;
+
+ for (i = 0; i < tdmr_list->nr_consumed_tdmrs; i++) {
+ unsigned long pfn, npages;
+
+ tdmr_get_pamt(tdmr_entry(tdmr_list, i), &pfn, &npages);
+ pamt_npages += npages;
+ }

OK, so tdmr_get_pamt() is getting it in pages. How is it *stored*?

+static void tdmr_get_pamt(struct tdmr_info *tdmr, unsigned long *pamt_pfn,
+ unsigned long *pamt_npages)
+{
...
+ pamt_sz = tdmr->pamt_4k_size + tdmr->pamt_2m_size + tdmr->pamt_1g_size;
++ *pamt_pfn = PHYS_PFN(pamt_base);
+ *pamt_npages = pamt_sz >> PAGE_SHIFT;
+}

Oh, it's actually stored in bytes. So to print it out you actually convert it from bytes->pages->kbytes. Not the best.

If tdmr_get_pamt() just returned 'pamt_size_bytes', you could do one conversion at:

	free_contig_range(pamt_pfn, pamt_size_bytes >> PAGE_SIZE);

and since tdmrs_count_pamt_pages() has only one caller you can just make
it: tdmrs_count_pamt_kb(). The print becomes:

	pr_info("%lu KBs allocated for PAMT.\n",
		tdmrs_count_pamt_kb(&tdx_tdmr_list) * 4);

and tdmrs_count_pamt_kb() does something super fancy like:

	return pamt_size_bytes / 1024;

which makes total complete obvious sense and needs zero explanation.

Quoted 7 lines

Oh, it's actually stored in bytes. So to print it out you actually convert it from bytes->pages->kbytes. Not the best.

If tdmr_get_pamt() just returned 'pamt_size_bytes', you could do one conversion at:

	free_contig_range(pamt_pfn, pamt_size_bytes >> PAGE_SIZE);

I thought making tdmr_get_pamt() return pamt_pfn and pamt_npages would be more clear that PAMTs must be in 4K granularity, but I guess it doesn't matter anyway.

If we return bytes for PAMT size, I think we should also return physical address instead of PFN for PAMT start?

I'll change tdmr_get_pamt() to return physical address and bytes for PAMT location and size respectively. Please let me know if you have any comments.

Quoted 4 lines

and since tdmrs_count_pamt_pages() has only one caller you can just make
it: tdmrs_count_pamt_kb(). The print becomes:

Quoted 8 lines
	pr_info("%lu KBs allocated for PAMT.\n",
		tdmrs_count_pamt_kb(&tdx_tdmr_list) * 4);

and tdmrs_count_pamt_kb() does something super fancy like:

	return pamt_size_bytes / 1024;

which makes total complete obvious sense and needs zero explanation.

Will do.

Thanks for the feedback.

These three hunks and change to struct tdx_memblock looks unrelated. Why not fold this to 09/20?

Sorry I missed to reply this.

The @nid is used to try to allocate the PAMT from local node. It only gets used in this patch. Originally (in v7) I had it in patch 09 but Dave suggested to move to this patch (see the first comment in below link):

Why not put the pr_info right after the 'if (ret)' check following tdmrs_setup_pamt_all(). And make the tdmrs_free_pamt_all call unconditional.

It seems the main reason for having a bunch of conditionals in the exit reason is that you share the put_online_mems(); in both the success and failure cases. If you simply add :

put_online_mems();
return 0;

// failure labels follow

Then you can make do without the if (ret) checks and have straight line code doing the error handling.

PATCH v11 13/20 x86/virt/tdx: Designate reserved areas for all TDMRs

In reply to Kai Huang

As the last step of constructing TDMRs, populate reserved areas for all TDMRs. For each TDMR, put all memory holes within this TDMR to the reserved areas. And for all PAMTs which overlap with this TDMR, put all the overlapping parts to reserved areas too.

---

v10 -> v11:
- No update

v9 -> v10:
- No change.

v8 -> v9:
- Added comment around 'tdmr_add_rsvd_area()' to point out it doesn't do optimization to save reserved areas. (Dave).

v7 -> v8: (Dave)
- "set_up" -> "populate" in function name change (Dave).
- Improved comment suggested by Dave.
- Other changes due to 'struct tdmr_info_list'.

v6 -> v7:
- No change.

v5 -> v6:
- Rebase due to using 'tdx_memblock' instead of memblock.
- Split tdmr_set_up_rsvd_areas() into two functions to handle memory hole and PAMT respectively.
- Added Isaku's Reviewed-by.

PATCH v11 14/20 x86/virt/tdx: Configure TDX module with the TDMRs and global KeyID

In reply to Kai Huang

The TDX module uses a private KeyID as the "global KeyID" for mapping things like the PAMT and other TDX metadata. This KeyID has already been reserved when detecting TDX during the kernel early boot.

After the list of "TD Memory Regions" (TDMRs) has been constructed to cover all TDX-usable memory regions, the next step is to pass them to the TDX module together with the global KeyID.

---

v10 -> v11:
- No update

v9 -> v10:
- Code change due to change static 'tdx_tdmr_list' to local 'tdmr_list'.

v8 -> v9:
- Improved changlog to explain why initializing TDMRs can take long time (Dave).
- Improved comments around 'next-to-initialize' address (Dave).

v7 -> v8: (Dave)
- Changelog:
- explicitly call out this is the last step of TDX module initialization.
- Trimed down changelog by removing SEAMCALL name and details.
- Removed/trimmed down unnecessary comments.
- Other changes due to 'struct tdmr_info_list'.

v6 -> v7:
- Removed need_resched() check. -- Andi.

PATCH v11 15/20 x86/virt/tdx: Configure global KeyID on all packages

In reply to Kai Huang

After the list of TDMRs and the global KeyID are configured to the TDX module, the kernel needs to configure the key of the global KeyID on all packages using TDH.SYS.KEY.CONFIG.

This SEAMCALL cannot run parallel on different cpus. Loop all online cpus and use smp_call_on_cpu() to call this SEAMCALL on the first cpu of each package.

To keep things simple, this implementation takes no affirmative steps to online cpus to make sure there's at least one cpu for each package. The callers (aka. KVM) can ensure success by ensuring that.

Intel hardware doesn't guarantee cache coherency across different KeyIDs. The PAMTs are transitioning from being used by the kernel mapping (KeyId 0) to the TDX module's "global KeyID" mapping.

This means that the kernel must flush any dirty KeyID-0 PAMT cachelines before the TDX module uses the global KeyID to access the PAMTs. Otherwise, if those dirty cachelines were written back, they would corrupt the TDX module's metadata. Aside: This corruption would be detected by the memory integrity hardware on the next read of the memory with the global KeyID. The result would likely be fatal to the system but would not impact TDX security.

Following the TDX module specification, flush cache before configuring the global KeyID on all packages. Given the PAMT size can be large (~1/256th of system RAM), just use WBINVD on all CPUs to flush.

If TDH.SYS.KEY.CONFIG fails, the TDX module may already have used the global KeyID to write the PAMTs. Therefore, use WBINVD to flush cache before returning the PAMTs back to the kernel. Also convert all PAMTs back to normal by using MOVDIR64B as suggested by the TDX module spec, although on the platform without the "partial write machine check" erratum it's OK to leave PAMTs as is.

---

v10 -> v11:
- Convert PAMTs back to normal when module initialization fails.
- Fixed an error in changelog

v9 -> v10:
- Changed to use 'smp_call_on_cpu()' directly to do key configuration.

v8 -> v9:
- Improved changelog (Dave).
- Improved comments to explain the function to configure global KeyID "takes no affirmative action to online any cpu". (Dave).
- Improved other comments suggested by Dave.

v7 -> v8: (Dave)
- Changelog changes:
- Point out this is the step of "multi-steps" of init_tdx_module().
- Removed MOVDIR64B part.
- Other changes due to removing TDH.SYS.SHUTDOWN and TDH.SYS.LP.INIT.
- Changed to loop over online cpus and use smp_call_function_single() directly as the patch to shut down TDX module has been removed.
- Removed MOVDIR64B part in comment.

v6 -> v7:
- Improved changelong and comment to explain why MOVDIR64B isn't used when returning PAMTs back to the kernel.

(to your another reply too)

I noticed this too when preparing this series. In old versions the TDMRs were always freed no matter module initialization result, thus it's not good to do what you suggested. Now we can do what you suggested (assuming we don't change back to always freeing TDMRs), I just wasn't so sure when I was preparing this series.

I'll take a look at the yielding patches with your suggestion. Thanks.

Hi Kirill/Dave,

Since I have received couple of tags from you, may I know which way do you prefer?

PATCH v11 16/20 x86/virt/tdx: Initialize all TDMRs

In reply to Kai Huang

After the global KeyID has been configured on all packages, initialize all TDMRs to make all TDX-usable memory regions that are passed to the TDX module become usable.

This is the last step of initializing the TDX module.

Initializing TDMRs can be time consuming on large memory systems as it involves initializing all metadata entries for all pages that can be used by TDX guests. Initializing different TDMRs can be parallelized. For now to keep it simple, just initialize all TDMRs one by one. It can be enhanced in the future.

---

v10 -> v11:
- No update

v9 -> v10:
- Code change due to change static 'tdx_tdmr_list' to local 'tdmr_list'.

v8 -> v9:
- Improved changlog to explain why initializing TDMRs can take long time (Dave).
- Improved comments around 'next-to-initialize' address (Dave).

v7 -> v8: (Dave)
- Changelog:
- explicitly call out this is the last step of TDX module initialization.
- Trimed down changelog by removing SEAMCALL name and details.
- Removed/trimmed down unnecessary comments.
- Other changes due to 'struct tdmr_info_list'.

v6 -> v7:
- Removed need_resched() check. -- Andi.

PATCH v11 17/20 x86/kexec: Flush cache of TDX private memory

In reply to Kai Huang

There are two problems in terms of using kexec() to boot to a new kernel when the old kernel has enabled TDX: 1) Part of the memory pages are still TDX private pages; 2) There might be dirty cachelines associated with TDX private pages.

The first problem doesn't matter on the platforms w/o the "partial write machine check" erratum. KeyID 0 doesn't have integrity check. If the new kernel wants to use any non-zero KeyID, it needs to convert the memory to that KeyID and such conversion would work from any KeyID.

However the old kernel needs to guarantee there's no dirty cacheline left behind before booting to the new kernel to avoid silent corruption from later cacheline writeback (Intel hardware doesn't guarantee cache coherency across different KeyIDs).

There are two things that the old kernel needs to do to achieve that:

1) Stop accessing TDX private memory mappings:
a. Stop making TDX module SEAMCALLs (TDX global KeyID); b. Stop TDX guests from running (per-guest TDX KeyID).
2) Flush any cachelines from previous TDX private KeyID writes.

For 2), use wbinvd() to flush cache in stop_this_cpu(), following SME support. And in this way 1) happens for free as there's no TDX activity between wbinvd() and the native_halt().

Flushing cache in stop_this_cpu() only flushes cache on remote cpus. On the cpu which does kexec(), unlike SME which does the cache flush in relocate_kernel(), do the cache flush right after stopping remote cpus in machine_shutdown(). This is because on the platforms with above erratum, the kernel needs to convert all TDX private pages back to normal before a fast warm reset reboot or booting to the new kernel in kexec(). Flushing cache in relocate_kernel() only covers the kexec() but not the fast warm reset reboot.

Theoretically, cache flush is only needed when the TDX module has been initialized. However initializing the TDX module is done on demand at runtime, and it takes a mutex to read the module status. Just check whether TDX is enabled by the BIOS instead to flush cache.

PATCH v11 18/20 x86: Handle TDX erratum to reset TDX private memory during kexec() and reboot

In reply to Kai Huang

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 enabled TDX on the platform with this erratum, the new kernel may 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 either a fast warm reset or kexec().

There's no existing infrastructure to track TDX private pages, which could be PAMT pages, TDX guest private pages, or SEPT (secure EPT) pages. The latter two are yet to be implemented thus it's not certain how to track them for now.

It's not feasible to query the TDX module either because VMX has already been stopped when KVM receives the reboot notifier.

Another option is to blindly convert all memory pages. But this may bring non-trivial latency to machine reboot and kexec() on large memory systems (especially when the number of TDX private pages is small). A final solution should be tracking TDX private pages and only converting them. Also, it's problematic to convert all memory pages because not all pages are mapped as writable in the direct-mapping. Thus to do so would require switching to a new page table which maps all pages as writable. Such page table can either be a new page table, or the identical mapping table built during kexec(). Using either seems too dramatic, especially considering the kernel should eventually be able to track all TDX private pages in which case the direct-mapping can be directly used.

So for now just convert PAMT pages. Converting TDX guest private pages and SEPT pages can be added when supporting TDX guests is added to the kernel.

Introduce a new "x86_platform_ops::memory_shutdown()" callback as a placeholder to convert all TDX private memory, and call it at the end of machine_shutdown() after all remote cpus have been stopped (thus no more TDX activities) and all dirty cachelines of TDX private memory have been flushed (thus no more later cacheline writeback).

Implement the default callback as a noop function. Replace the callback with TDX's own implementation when the platform has this erratum in TDX early boot-time initialization. In this way only the platforms with this erratum carry this additional memory conversion burden.

We don't need to guarantee when pamt_4k_base is valid, all other pamt_* are valid. Instead, we need to guarantee when (at least) _one_ of pamt_*_size is valid, the pamt_4k_base is valid.

For example,

	pamt_4k_base  	-> valid
	pamt_4k_size	-> invalid (0)
	pamt_2m_size	-> invalid
	pamt_1g_size	-> invalid

and

	pamt_4k_base	-> valid
	pamt_4k_size	-> valid
	pamt_2m_size	-> invalid
	pamt_1g_size	-> invalid

are both OK.

The reason is the PAMTs are only written by the TDX module in init_tdmrs(). So if tdx_memory_shutdown() sees a part of PAMT (the second case above), those PAMT pages are not yet TDX private pages, thus converting part of PAMT is fine.

The invalid case is when any pamt_*_size is valid, pamt_4k_base is invalid, e.g.:

	pamt_4k_base	-> invalid
	pamt_4k_size	-> valid
	pamt_2m_size	-> invalid
	pamt_1g_size	-> invalid

as this case tdx_memory_shutdown() will convert a incorrect (not partial) PAMT area.

So I think a __mb() after setting tdmr->pamt_4k_base should be good enough, as it guarantees when setting to any pamt_*_size happens, the valid pamt_4k_base will be seen by other cpus.

Does it make sense?

Hi Dave, Kirill,

I'd like to check with you that whether we should introduce a mechanism to track TDX private pages for both this patch and the next.

As you can see this patch only deals PAMT pages due to couple of reasons that mnentioned in the changelog. The next MCE patch handles all TDX private pages, but it uses SEAMCALL in the #MC handler. Using SEAMCALL has two cons: 1) it is slow (probably doesn't matter, though); 2) it brings additional risk of triggering further #MC inside TDX module, although such risk should be a theoretical thing.

If we introduce a helper to mark a page as TDX private page, then both above patches can utilize it. We don't need to consult TDMRs to get PAMT anymore in this patch (we will need a way to loop all TDX-usable memory pages, but this needs to be done anyway with TDX guests). I believe eventually we can end up with less code.

In terms of how to do, for PAMT pages, we can set page->private to a TDX magic number because they come out of page allocator directly. Secure-EPT pages are like PAMT pages too. For TDX guest private pages, Sean is moving to implement KVM's own pseudo filesystem so they will have a unique mapping to identify.

https://github.com/sean-jc/linux/commit/40d338c8629287dda60a9f7c800ede8549295a7c

And my thinking is in this TDX host series, we can just handle PAMT pages. Both secure-EPT and TDX guest private pages can be handled later in KVM TDX series. I think eventually we can have a function like below to tell whether a page is TDX private page:

	bool page_is_tdx_private(struct page *page)
	{
		if (page->private == TDX_PRIVATE_MAGIC)
			return true;

		if (!page_mapping(page))
			return false;

		return page_mapping(page)->a_ops == &kvm_gmem_ops;
	}

How does this sound? Or any other comments? Thanks!

If you going to take this path it has to be supported natively by

page->private is only for PAMT and SEPT pages. kmem_gmem has it's own mapping which can be used to identify the pages owned by it.

Hmm.. I think we should just leave them out for now, as they theoretically are owned by KVM thus can be handled by KVM, e.g., in it's reboot or shutdown or module unload code path.

If we are fine to use SEAMCALL in the #MC handler code path, I think perhaps we can just keep using TDMRs to locate PAMTs.

The logic is the whole tdx_is_private_mem() function in the next patch (#MC handling one) can be significantly reduced from 100 -> ~10, and we roughly needs some more code (<50 LoC) to mark PAMT as private.

Hi Dave,

Using atomic_set() requires changing tdmr->pamt_4k_base to atomic_t, which is a little bit silly or overkill IMHO. Looking at the code, it seems arch_atomic_set() simply uses __WRITE_ONCE():

static __always_inline void arch_atomic_set(atomic_t *v, int i)

{
        __WRITE_ONCE(v->counter, i);                                           
}

Is it better to just use __WRITE_ONCE() or WRITE_ONCE() here?

- tdmr->pamt_4k_base = pamt_base[TDX_PS_4K];
+ WRITE_ONCE(tdmr->pamt_4k_base, pamt_base[TDX_PS_4K]);

For this patch I think it's overkill to use spinlock because when the rebooting cpu is reading this all other cpus have been stopped already, so there's no concurrent thing here.

However I just recall that the next #MC handler patch can also take advantage of this too because #MC handler can truly run concurrently with module initialization. Currently that one reads tdx_module_status first but again we may have the same memory order issue. So having a spinlock makes sense from #MC handler patch's point of view.

I'll change to use spinlock if Dave is fine?

Thanks for feedback!

Using atomic_set() requires changing tdmr->pamt_4k_base to atomic_t, which is a little bit silly or overkill IMHO. Looking at the code, it seems arch_atomic_set() simply uses __WRITE_ONCE():

How about _adding_ a variable that protects tdmr->pamt_4k_base? Wouldn't that be more straightforward than mucking around with existing types?

What's wrong with simple global spinlock that protects all tdmr->pamt_*? It is much easier to follow than a custom serialization scheme.

Agreed. So I think having any locking in #MC handle is kinda dangerous.

Adding "a" variable has another advantage: We can have a more precise result of whether we need to reset PAMT pages, even those PAMTs are already allocated and set to the TDMRs, because the TDX module only starts to write PAMTs using global KeyID until some SEAMCALL.

x86 has built-in memory barriers for being TSO :-) Specifically all barriers provided by spinlock (acquire/release) are no-ops on x86.

(strictly speaking locks imply stronger order than they have to because TSO atomic ops imply stronger ordering than required)

There is one (and only the one) re-ordering possible on TSO and that is the store-buffer, later loads can fail to observe prior stores.

If that is a concern, you need explicit barriers.

This is #MC, much care and explicit open-coded crap is expected. Also, this is #MC, much broken is also expected :-( As in, the current #MC handler is a know pile of shit.

Basically the whole of #MC should be noinstr -- it isn't and that's a significant problem.

Also we still very much suffer the NMI <- #MC problem and the #MC latch is known broken garbage.

Whatever you do, do it very carefully, double check and be more careful.

Hi Dave,

Sorry to bring this up again. I thought more on this topic, and I think using atotmic_t is only necessary if we add it right after setting up tdmr->pamt_* in tdmr_set_up_pamt(), because there we need both compiler barrier and CPU memory barrier to make sure memory order (as Kirill commented in the first reply).

However, if we add a new variable like below ...

... then we don't need any more explicit barrier, because: 1) it's not possible for compiler to optimize the order between setting tdmr->pamt_* and tdx_private_mem_begin; 2) no CPU memory barrier is needed as WBINVD is a serializing instruction so the wbinvd_on_all_cpus() above has already implied memory barrier.

Does this make sense?

Sorry please ignore this. I missed a corner case that the kexec() can happen when something goes wrong during module initialization and when PAMTs/TDMRs are being freed. We still need explicit memory barrier for this case. I will use atomic_t as suggested. Thanks!

Depends on what you mean; anything that spin-waits will deadlock, doesn't matter if its a test-and-set or not.

The thing with these non-maskable exceptions/interrupts is that they must be wait-free. If serialization is required it needs to be try based and accept failure without waiting.

Force reboot is not used in kexec path, right? And the platform has to handle erratum in BIOS to reset memory status on reboot anyway.

So "handle erratum in BIOS" I think you mean "warm reset" doesn't reset TDX private pages, and the BIOS needs to disable "warm reset".

IIUC this means the kernel needs to depend on specific BIOS setting to work normally, and IIUC the kernel even cannot be aware of this setting?

Should the kernel just reset all TDX private pages when erratum is present during reboot so the kernel doesn't depend on BIOS?

In other words, I assume we just need to take care of kexec().

The current patch tries to handle reboot too, so I'll change to only cover kexec(), assuming the BIOS will always disable warm reset reboot for platforms with this erratum.

PATCH v11 19/20 x86/mce: Improve error log of kernel space TDX #MC due to erratum

In reply to Kai Huang

The first few generations of TDX hardware have an erratum. Triggering it in Linux requires some kind of kernel bug involving relatively exotic memory writes to TDX private memory and will manifest via spurious-looking machine checks when reading the affected memory.

== 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 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.

To add insult to injury, the Linux machine code will present these as a literal "Hardware error" when they were, in fact, a software-triggered issue.

== Solution ==

In the end, this issue is hard to trigger. Rather than do something rash (and incomplete) like unmap TDX private memory from the direct map, improve the machine check handler.

Currently, the #MC handler doesn't distinguish whether the memory is TDX private memory or not but just dump, for instance, below message:

[...] mce: [Hardware Error]: CPU 147: Machine Check Exception: f Bank 1: bd80000000100134 [...] mce: [Hardware Error]: RIP 10:<ffffffffadb69870> {__tlb_remove_page_size+0x10/0xa0}
...
[...] mce: [Hardware Error]: Run the above through 'mcelog --ascii'
[...] mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check: Data load in unrecoverable area of kernel [...] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal local machine check

Which says "Hardware Error" and "Data load in unrecoverable area of kernel".

Ideally, it's better for the log to say "software bug around TDX private memory" instead of "Hardware Error". But in reality the real hardware memory error can happen, and sadly such software-triggered #MC cannot be distinguished from the real hardware error. Also, the error message is used by userspace tool 'mcelog' to parse, so changing the output may break userspace.

So keep the "Hardware Error". The "Data load in unrecoverable area of kernel" is also helpful, so keep it too.

Instead of modifying above error log, improve the error log by printing additional TDX related message to make the log like:

...
[...] mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check: Data load in unrecoverable area of kernel
[...] mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine Check: Memory error from TDX private memory. May be result of CPU erratum.

Adding this additional message requires determination of whether the memory page is TDX private memory. There is no existing infrastructure to do that. Add an interface to query the TDX module to fill this gap.

== Impact ==

This issue requires some kind of kernel bug to trigger.

TDX private memory should never be mapped UC/WC. A partial write originating from these mappings would require *two* bugs, first mapping the wrong page, then writing the wrong memory. It would also be detectable using traditional memory corruption techniques like DEBUG_PAGEALLOC.

MOVNTI (and friends) could cause this issue with something like a simple buffer overrun or use-after-free on the direct map. It should also be detectable with normal debug techniques.

The one place where this might get nasty would be if the CPU read data then wrote back the same data. That would trigger this problem but would not, for instance, set off mechanisms like slab redzoning because it doesn't actually corrupt data.

With an IOMMU at least, the DMA exposure is similar to the UC/WC issue. TDX private memory would first need to be incorrectly mapped into the I/O space and then a later DMA to that mapping would actually cause the poisoning event.

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 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.

To add insult to injury, the Linux machine code will present these as a literal "Hardware error" when they were, in fact, a software-triggered issue.

== Solution ==

In the end, this issue is hard to trigger. Rather than do something rash (and incomplete) like unmap TDX private memory from the direct map, improve the machine check handler.

Currently, the #MC handler doesn't distinguish whether the memory is TDX private memory or not but just dump, for instance, below message:

[...] mce: [Hardware Error]: CPU 147: Machine Check Exception: f Bank 1: bd80000000100134 [...] mce: [Hardware Error]: RIP 10:<ffffffffadb69870> {__tlb_remove_page_size+0x10/0xa0}
...
[...] mce: [Hardware Error]: Run the above through 'mcelog --ascii'
[...] mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check: Data load in unrecoverable area of kernel [...] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal local machine check

Which says "Hardware Error" and "Data load in unrecoverable area of kernel".

Ideally, it's better for the log to say "software bug around TDX private memory" instead of "Hardware Error". But in reality the real hardware memory error can happen, and sadly such software-triggered #MC cannot be distinguished from the real hardware error. Also, the error message is used by userspace tool 'mcelog' to parse, so changing the output may break userspace.

So keep the "Hardware Error". The "Data load in unrecoverable area of kernel" is also helpful, so keep it too.

Instead of modifying above error log, improve the error log by printing additional TDX related message to make the log like:

...

[...] mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine Check: Memory error from TDX private memory. May be result of CPU erratum.

The message mentions one part of issue -- CPU erratum -- but misses the other required part -- kernel bug that makes kernel access the memory it not suppose to.

PATCH v11 20/20 Documentation/x86: Add documentation for TDX host support

In reply to Kai Huang

Add documentation for TDX host kernel support. There is already one file Documentation/x86/tdx.rst containing documentation for TDX guest internals. Also reuse it for TDX host kernel support.

Introduce a new level menu "TDX Guest Support" and move existing materials under it, and add a new menu for TDX host kernel support.

 mode sits between the host and the guest and manages the guest/host
 separation.
 
+TDX Host Kernel Support
+=======================
+
+TDX introduces a new CPU mode called Secure Arbitration Mode (SEAM) and
+a new isolated range pointed by the SEAM Ranger Register (SEAMRR).  A
+CPU-attested software module called 'the TDX module' runs inside the new
+isolated range to provide the functionalities to manage and run protected
+VMs.
+
+TDX also leverages Intel Multi-Key Total Memory Encryption (MKTME) to
+provide crypto-protection to the VMs.  TDX reserves part of MKTME KeyIDs
+as TDX private KeyIDs, which are only accessible within the SEAM mode.
+BIOS is responsible for partitioning legacy MKTME KeyIDs and TDX KeyIDs.
+
+Before the TDX module can be used to create and run protected VMs, it
+must be loaded into the isolated range and properly initialized.  The TDX
+architecture doesn't require the BIOS to load the TDX module, but the
+kernel assumes it is loaded by the BIOS.
+
+TDX boot-time detection
+-----------------------
+
+The kernel detects TDX by detecting TDX private KeyIDs during kernel
+boot.  Below dmesg shows when TDX is enabled by BIOS::
+
+  [..] tdx: BIOS enabled: private KeyID range: [16, 64).
+
+TDX module detection and initialization
+---------------------------------------
+
+There is no CPUID or MSR to detect the TDX module.  The kernel detects it
+by initializing it.
+
+The kernel talks to the TDX module via the new SEAMCALL instruction.  The
+TDX module implements SEAMCALL leaf functions to allow the kernel to
+initialize it.
+
+Initializing the TDX module consumes roughly ~1/256th system RAM size to
+use it as 'metadata' for the TDX memory.  It also takes additional CPU
+time to initialize those metadata along with the TDX module itself.  Both
+are not trivial.  The kernel initializes the TDX module at runtime on
+demand.
+
+Besides initializing the TDX module, a per-cpu initialization SEAMCALL
+must be done on one cpu before any other SEAMCALLs can be made on that
+cpu.
+
+The kernel provides two functions, tdx_enable() and tdx_cpu_enable() to
+allow the user of TDX to enable the TDX module and enable TDX on local
+cpu.
+
+Making SEAMCALL requires the CPU already being in VMX operation (VMXON
+has been done).  For now both tdx_enable() and tdx_cpu_enable() don't
+handle VMXON internally, but depends on the caller to guarantee that.
+
+To enable TDX, the user of TDX should: 1) hold read lock of CPU hotplug
+lock; 2) do VMXON and tdx_enable_cpu() on all online cpus successfully;
+3) call tdx_enable().  For example::
+
+        cpus_read_lock();
+        on_each_cpu(vmxon_and_tdx_cpu_enable());
+        ret = tdx_enable();
+        cpus_read_unlock();
+        if (ret)
+                goto no_tdx;
+        // TDX is ready to use
+
+And the user of TDX must be guarantee tdx_cpu_enable() has beene
+successfully done on any cpu before it wants to run any other SEAMCALL.
+A typical usage is do both VMXON and tdx_cpu_enable() in CPU hotplug
+online callback, and refuse to online if tdx_cpu_enable() fails.
+
+User can consult dmesg to see the presence of the TDX module, and whether
+it has been initialized.
+
+If the TDX module is not loaded, dmesg shows below::
+
+  [..] tdx: TDX module is not loaded.
+
+If the TDX module is initialized successfully, dmesg shows something
+like below::
+
+  [..] tdx: TDX module: attributes 0x0, vendor_id 0x8086, major_version 1, minor_version 0, build_date 20211209, build_num 160
+  [..] tdx: 262668 KBs allocated for PAMT.
+  [..] tdx: TDX module initialized.
+
+If the TDX module failed to initialize, dmesg also shows it failed to
+initialize::
+
+  [..] tdx: TDX module initialization failed ...
+
+TDX Interaction to Other Kernel Components
+------------------------------------------
+
+TDX Memory Policy
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+TDX reports a list of "Convertible Memory Region" (CMR) to tell the
+kernel which memory is TDX compatible.  The kernel needs to build a list
+of memory regions (out of CMRs) as "TDX-usable" memory and pass those
+regions to the TDX module.  Once this is done, those "TDX-usable" memory
+regions are fixed during module's lifetime.
+
+To keep things simple, currently the kernel simply guarantees all pages
+in the page allocator are TDX memory.  Specifically, the kernel uses all
+system memory in the core-mm at the time of initializing the TDX module
+as TDX memory, and in the meantime, refuses to online any non-TDX-memory
+in the memory hotplug.
+
+This can be enhanced in the future, i.e. by allowing adding non-TDX
+memory to a separate NUMA node.  In this case, the "TDX-capable" nodes
+and the "non-TDX-capable" nodes can co-exist, but the kernel/userspace
+needs to guarantee memory pages for TDX guests are always allocated from
+the "TDX-capable" nodes.
+
+Physical Memory Hotplug
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Note TDX assumes convertible memory is always physically present during
+machine's runtime.  A non-buggy BIOS should never support hot-removal of
+any convertible memory.  This implementation doesn't handle ACPI memory
+removal but depends on the BIOS to behave correctly.
+
+CPU Hotplug
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+TDX module requires the per-cpu initialization SEAMCALL (TDH.SYS.LP.INIT)
+must be done on one cpu before any other SEAMCALLs can be made on that
+cpu, including those involved during the module initialization.
+
+The kernel provides tdx_cpu_enable() to let the user of TDX to do it when
+the user wants to use a new cpu for TDX task.
+
+TDX doesn't support physical (ACPI) CPU hotplug.  During machine boot,
+TDX verifies all boot-time present logical CPUs are TDX compatible before
+enabling TDX.  A non-buggy BIOS should never support hot-add/removal of
+physical CPU.  Currently the kernel doesn't handle physical CPU hotplug,
+but depends on the BIOS to behave correctly.
+
+Note TDX works with CPU logical online/offline, thus the kernel still
+allows to offline logical CPU and online it again.
+
+Kexec()
+~~~~~~~
+
+There are two problems in terms of using kexec() to boot to a new kernel
+when the old kernel has enabled TDX: 1) Part of the memory pages are
+still TDX private pages; 2) There might be dirty cachelines associated
+with TDX private pages.
+
+The first problem doesn't matter.  KeyID 0 doesn't have integrity check.
+Even the new kernel wants use any non-zero KeyID, it needs to convert
+the memory to that KeyID and such conversion would work from any KeyID.
+
+However the old kernel needs to guarantee there's no dirty cacheline
+left behind before booting to the new kernel to avoid silent corruption
+from later cacheline writeback (Intel hardware doesn't guarantee cache
+coherency across different KeyIDs).
+
+Similar to AMD SME, the kernel just uses wbinvd() to flush cache before
+booting to the new kernel.

+TDX reports a list of "Convertible Memory Region" (CMR) to tell the

nit: It might be worth mentioning that those CMRs ultimately come from the BIOS.  Because it's never mentioned here and in the "Physical Memory Hotplug" it's directly mentioned that bios shouldn't support hot-removal of memory. So the bios is a central component in a sense.

The BIOS is weird on TDX systems. It's central, sure, but it's also untrusted. The TDX module generally has a kind of "trust but verify" approach to the BIOS.

I guess the BIOS is the one poking at the memory controllers and getting the DIMMs fired up. But I _do_ think it's OK to say that CMRs come from the TDX module. The important thing is that they're trusted.

Intel Trusted Domain Extensions (TDX) protects guest VMs from malicious host and certain physical attacks. TDX specs are available in [1].

This series is the initial support to enable TDX with minimal code to allow KVM to create and run TDX guests. KVM support for TDX is being developed separately[2]. A new "userspace inaccessible memfd" approach to support TDX private memory is also being developed[3]. The KVM will only support the new "userspace inaccessible memfd" as TDX guest memory.

This series doesn't aim to support all functionalities, and doesn't aim to resolve all things perfectly. All other optimizations will be posted as follow-up once this initial TDX support is upstreamed.

Also, the patch to add the new kernel comline tdx="force" isn't included in this initial version, as Dave suggested it isn't mandatory. But I will add one once this initial version gets merged.

(For memory hotplug, sorry for broadcasting widely but I cc'ed the [email protected] following Kirill's suggestion so MM experts can also help to provide comments.)

Hi Dave, Kirill, Tony, Peter, Thomas, Dan (and Intel reviewers),

The new relaxed TDX per-cpu initialization flow has been verified. The TDX module can be initialized when there are offline cpus, and the TDH.SYS.LP.INIT SEAMCALL can be made successfully later after module initialization when the offline cpu is up.

This series mainly added code to handle the new TDX "partial write machine check" erratum (SPR113) in [4].

And I would appreciate reviewed-by or acked-by tags if the patches look good to you. Thanks in advance!

I've rebased the TDX KVM patch series v14 [1] with this patch series and uploaded it at [2]. As the rebased TDX KVM patches doesn't have any changes except trivial rebase fixes, I don't post something like v14.1.

This memfd approach is incompatible with one of the primary ways that new memory topologies like high-bandwidth-memory and CXL are accessed, via a device-special-file mapping. There is already precedent for mmap() to only be used for communicating address value and not CPU accessible memory. See "Userspace P2PDMA with O_DIRECT NVMe devices" [1].

So before this memfd requirement becomes too baked in to the design I want to understand if "userspace inaccessible" is the only requirement so I can look to add that to the device-special-file interface for "device" / "Soft Reserved" memory like HBM and CXL.

+ Peng, Chao who is working on this with Sean.

There are some recent developments around the design of the "userspace inaccessible memfd", e.g., IIUC Sean is proposing to replace the new syscall with a new KVM ioctl().

Hi Sean, Chao,

Could you give comments to Dan's concern?
