x86/sev: Skip ROM range scans and validation for SEV-SNP guests
SEV-SNP requires encrypted memory to be validated before access. Because the ROM memory range is not part of the e820 table, it is not pre-validated by the BIOS. Therefore, if a SEV-SNP guest kernel wishes to access this range, the guest must first validate the range. The current SEV-SNP code does indeed scan the ROM range during early boot and thus attempts to validate the ROM range in probe_roms(). However, this behavior is neither sufficient nor necessary for the following reasons: * With regards to sufficiency, if EFI_CONFIG_TABLES are not enabled and CONFIG_DMI_SCAN_MACHINE_NON_EFI_FALLBACK is set, the kernel will attempt to access the memory at SMBIOS_ENTRY_POINT_SCAN_START (which falls in the ROM range) prior to validation. For example, Project Oak Stage 0 provides a minimal guest firmware that currently meets these configuration conditions, meaning guests booting atop Oak Stage 0 firmware encounter a problematic call chain during dmi_setup() -> dmi_scan_machine() that results in a crash during boot if SEV-SNP is enabled. * With regards to necessity, SEV-SNP guests generally read garbage (which changes across boots) from the ROM range, meaning these scans are unnecessary. The guest reads garbage because the legacy ROM range is unencrypted data but is accessed via an encrypted PMD during early boot (where the PMD is marked as encrypted due to potentially mapping actually-encrypted data in other PMD-contained ranges). In one exceptional case, EISA probing treats the ROM range as unencrypted data, which is inconsistent with other probing. Continuing to allow SEV-SNP guests to use garbage and to inconsistently classify ROM range encryption status can trigger undesirable behavior. For instance, if garbage bytes appear to be a valid signature, memory may be unnecessarily reserved for the ROM range. Future code or other use cases may result in more problematic (arbitrary) behavior that should be avoided. While one solution would be to overhaul the early PMD mapping to always treat the ROM region of the PMD as unencrypted, SEV-SNP guests do not currently rely on data from the ROM region during early boot (and even if they did, they would be mostly relying on garbage data anyways). As a simpler solution, skip the ROM range scans (and the otherwise- necessary range validation) during SEV-SNP guest early boot. The potential SEV-SNP guest crash due to lack of ROM range validation is thus avoided by simply not accessing the ROM range. In most cases, skip the scans by overriding problematic x86_init functions during sme_early_init() to SNP-safe variants, which can be likened to x86_init overrides done for other platforms (ex: Xen); such overrides also avoid the spread of cc_platform_has() checks throughout the tree. In the exceptional EISA case, still use cc_platform_has() for the simplest change, given (1) checks for guest type (ex: Xen domain status) are already performed here, and (2) these checks occur in a subsys initcall instead of an x86_init function.
