Virtual machines can exploit bus locks to degrade the performance of
the system. Bus locks can be caused by Non-WB(Write back) and
misaligned locked RMW (Read-modify-Write) instructions and require
systemwide synchronization among all processors which can result into
significant performance penalties.
To address this issue, the Bus Lock Threshold feature is introduced to
provide ability to hypervisor to restrict guests' capability of
initiating mulitple buslocks, thereby preventing system slowdowns.
Support for the buslock threshold is indicated via CPUID function
0x8000000A_EDX[29].
On the processors that support the Bus Lock Threshold feature, the
VMCB provides a Bus Lock Threshold enable bit and an unsigned 16-bit
Bus Lock threshold count.
VMCB intercept bit
VMCB Offset Bits Function
14h 5 Intercept bus lock operations
Bus lock threshold count
VMCB Offset Bits Function
120h 15:0 Bus lock counter
When a VMRUN instruction is executed, the bus lock threshold count is
loaded into an internal count register. Before the processor executes
a bus lock in the guest, it checks the value of this register:
- If the value is greater than '0', the processor successfully
executes the bus lock and decrements the count.
- If the value is '0', the bus lock is not executed, and a #VMEXIT to
the VMM is taken.
The bus lock threshold #VMEXIT is reported to the VMM with the VMEXIT
code A5h, SVM_EXIT_BUS_LOCK.

Add support for "Idle HLT" interception on AMD CPUs, and enable Idle HLT
interception instead of "normal" HLT interception for all VMs for which
HLT-exiting is enabled. Idle HLT provides a mild performance boost for
all VM types, by avoiding a VM-Exit in the scenario where KVM would
immediately "wake" and resume the vCPU.
Idle HLT makes HLT-exiting conditional on the vCPU not having a valid,
unmasked interrupt. Specifically, a VM-Exit occurs on execution of HLT
if and only if there are no pending V_IRQ or V_NMI events. Note, Idle
is a replacement for full HLT interception, i.e. enabling HLT interception
would result in all HLT instructions causing unconditional VM-Exits. Per
the APM:
When both HLT and Idle HLT intercepts are active at the same time, the
HLT intercept takes priority. This intercept occurs only if a virtual
interrupt is not pending (V_INTR or V_NMI).
For KVM's use of V_IRQ (also called V_INTR in the APM) to detect interrupt
windows, the net effect of enabling Idle HLT is that, if a virtual
interupt is pending and unmasked at the time of HLT, the vCPU will take
a V_IRQ intercept instead of a HLT intercept.
When AVIC is enabled, Idle HLT works as intended: the vCPU continues
unimpeded and services the pending virtual interrupt.
Note, the APM's description of V_IRQ interaction with AVIC is quite
confusing, and requires piecing together implied behavior. Per the APM,
when AVIC is enabled, V_IRQ *from the VMCB* is ignored:
When AVIC mode is enabled for a virtual processor, the V_IRQ, V_INTR_PRIO,
V_INTR_VECTOR, and V_IGN_TPR fields in the VMCB are ignored.
Which seems to contradict the behavior of Idle HLT:
This intercept occurs only if a virtual interrupt is not pending (V_INTR
or V_NMI).
What's not explicitly stated is that hardware's internal copy of V_IRQ
(and related fields) *are* still active, i.e. are presumably used to cache
information from the virtual APIC.
Handle Idle HLT exits as if they were normal HLT exits, e.g. don't try to
optimize the handling under the assumption that there isn't a pending IRQ.
Irrespective of AVIC, Idle HLT is inherently racy with respect to the vIRR,
as KVM can set vIRR bits asychronously.
No changes are required to support KVM's use Idle HLT while running
L2. In fact, supporting Idle HLT is actually a bug fix to some extent.
If L1 wants to intercept HLT, recalc_intercepts() will enable HLT
interception in vmcb02 and forward the intercept to L1 as normal.
But if L1 does not want to intercept HLT, then KVM will run L2 with Idle
HLT enabled and HLT interception disabled. If a V_IRQ or V_NMI for L2
becomes pending and L2 executes HLT, then use of Idle HLT will do the
right thing, i.e. not #VMEXIT and instead deliver the virtual event. KVM
currently doesn't handle this scenario correctly, e.g. doesn't check V_IRQ
or V_NMI in vmcs02 as part of kvm_vcpu_has_events().
Do not expose Idle HLT to L1 at this time, as supporting nested Idle HLT is
more complex than just enumerating the feature, e.g. requires KVM to handle
the aforementioned scenarios of V_IRQ and V_NMI at the time of exit.

The SVSM Calling Area (CA) is used to communicate between Linux and the
SVSM. Since the firmware supplied CA for the BSP is likely to be in
reserved memory, switch off that CA to a kernel provided CA so that access
and use of the CA is available during boot. The CA switch is done using
the SVSM core protocol SVSM_CORE_REMAP_CA call.
An SVSM call is executed by filling out the SVSM CA and setting the proper
register state as documented by the SVSM protocol. The SVSM is invoked by
by requesting the hypervisor to run VMPL0.
Once it is safe to allocate/reserve memory, allocate a CA for each CPU.
After allocating the new CAs, the BSP will switch from the boot CA to the
per-CPU CA. The CA for an AP is identified to the SVSM when creating the
VMSA in preparation for booting the AP.

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

To provide a more secure way to start APs under SEV-SNP, use the SEV-SNP
AP Creation NAE event. This allows for guest control over the AP register
state rather than trusting the hypervisor with the SEV-ES Jump Table
address.
During native_smp_prepare_cpus(), invoke an SEV-SNP function that, if
SEV-SNP is active, will set/override apic->wakeup_secondary_cpu. This
will allow the SEV-SNP AP Creation NAE event method to be used to boot
the APs. As a result of installing the override when SEV-SNP is active,
this method of starting the APs becomes the required method. The override
function will fail to start the AP if the hypervisor does not have
support for AP creation.

Version 2 of the GHCB specification added the advertisement of features
that are supported by the hypervisor. If the hypervisor supports SEV-SNP
then it must set the SEV-SNP features bit to indicate that the base
functionality is supported.
Check that feature bit while establishing the GHCB; if failed, terminate
the guest.
Version 2 of the GHCB specification adds several new Non-Automatic Exits
(NAEs), most of them are optional except the hypervisor feature. Now
that the hypervisor feature NAE is implemented, bump the GHCB maximum
supported protocol version.
While at it, move the GHCB protocol negotiation check from the #VC
exception handler to sev_enable() so that all feature detection happens
before the first #VC exception.

SEV-ES adds a new VMEXIT reason code, VMGEXIT. Initial support for a
VMGEXIT includes mapping the GHCB based on the guest GPA, which is
obtained from a new VMCB field, and then validating the required inputs
for the VMGEXIT exit reason.
Since many of the VMGEXIT exit reasons correspond to existing VMEXIT
reasons, the information from the GHCB is copied into the VMCB control
exit code areas and KVM register areas. The standard exit handlers are
invoked, similar to standard VMEXIT processing. Before restarting the
vCPU, the GHCB is updated with any registers that have been updated by
the hypervisor.

As part of the GHCB specification, the booting of APs under SEV-ES
requires an AP jump table when transitioning from one layer of code to
another (e.g. when going from UEFI to the OS). As a result, each layer
that parks an AP must provide the physical address of an AP jump table
to the next layer via the hypervisor.
Upon booting of the kernel, read the AP jump table address from the
hypervisor. Under SEV-ES, APs are started using the INIT-SIPI-SIPI
sequence. Before issuing the first SIPI request for an AP, the start
CS and IP is programmed into the AP jump table. Upon issuing the SIPI
request, the AP will awaken and jump to that start CS:IP address.

It was found that a guest can DoS a host by triggering an infinite
stream of "alignment check" (#AC) exceptions. This causes the
microcode to enter an infinite loop where the core never receives
another interrupt. The host kernel panics pretty quickly due to the
