I just sent an additional set of fixups, patches 23-29. These add some additional input validation on GHCB requests, mainly ensuring that SNP-specific requests from non-SNP guests result in an error as soon as they are received rather than reaching an error state indirectly further into the call stack. It's a small diff (included below), but a bit of a pain to squash in patch by patch due to close proximity with each other, so I've pushed an updated branch here that already has them squashed in: https://github.com/amdese/linux/commits/snp-host-v14b If preferred I can also resubmit as v15, just let me know. Full diff is below.

Being unable to limit the GHCB version advertised to the guest is going to break live migration of SEV-ES VMs, e.g. if a pool of hosts has some kernels running this flavor of KVM, and some hosts running an older KVM that doesn't support v2.

There are QEMU patches here that allow for controlling this via QEMU versioned machine types to handle this [1] So I think it makes sense to go ahead move to GHCB version 2 as the base version for all SEV-ES/SNP guests created via KVM_SEV_INIT2, and leave KVM_SEV_ES_INIT restricted to GHCB version 1. This could be done in a pretty self-contained way for SEV-ES by applying the following patches from this series which are the version 2 protocol interfaces also applicable to SEV-ES: KVM: SEV: Add GHCB handling for Hypervisor Feature Support requests KVM: SEV: Add support to handle AP reset MSR protocol KVM: SEV: Add support for GHCB-based termination requests And then applying the below patch on top to set GHCB version 1 or 2 accordingly for SEV-ES. (and relocating the GHCB_VERSION_MAX bump to the below patch as well, although it's not really used at that point so could also just be dropped completely). Then in the future we can extend KVM_SEV_INIT2 to allow specifying specific/newer versions of the GHCB protocol when that becomes needed. If that sounds appropriate I can submit as a separate standalone patchset for SEV-ES and then make that a prereq for the remaining SNP-specific bits. -Mike [1] https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20240409230743.962513-1-michael.roth@amd.com/ commit 114da695c065595f74fe8aa0e9203f3c65175a95 Author: Michael Roth <michael.roth@amd.com> Date: Thu Apr 25 14:42:17 2024 -0500 KVM: SEV: Allow per-instance tracking of GHCB protocol version The GHCB protocol version may be different from one guest to the next.

Any reason not to let userspace restrict the GHCB protocol from the get-go? It seems inevitable that KVM will need to support that at some point, we'd have a wee bit more confidence that we didn't botch the definition of KVM_SEV_INIT2 and end up with KVM_SEV_INIT3, and in the unlikely event some poor provider gets into a situation where guests are crashing because they don't handle v2 correctly, userspace can workaround the issue without need to extend KVM's uAPI. > diff --git a/arch/x86/kvm/svm/svm.h b/arch/x86/kvm/svm/svm.h > index 28140bc8af27..229cb630b540 100644 > --- a/arch/x86/kvm/svm/svm.h > +++ b/arch/x86/kvm/svm/svm.h > @@ -87,6 +87,7 @@ struct kvm_sev_info { > struct list_head regions_list; /* List of registered regions */ > u64 ap_jump_table; /* SEV-ES AP Jump Table address */ > u64 vmsa_features; > + u64 ghcb_version; /* Highest guest GHCB protocol version allowed */ This can/should be a u16, no? > struct kvm *enc_context_owner; /* Owner of copied encryption context */ > struct list_head mirror_vms; /* List of VMs mirroring */ > struct list_head mirror_entry; /* Use as a list entry of mirrors */

E.g. why is core kernel code > in arch/x86/virt/svm/sev.c at all dealing with attestation goo, when pretty much > all of the actual usage is (or can be) in sev-dev.c It would be very tempting to have all this locking tucked away in sev-dev driver, but KVM is a part of that sequence because it needs to handle fetching the certificate that will be returned to the guest as part of the attestation request. The transaction ID updates from PAUSE/RESUME commands is technically enough satisfy this requirement, in which case KVM wouldn't need to take the lock directly, only check that the transaction ID isn't stale and report -EBUSY/-EAGAIN to the guest if it is. But if the request actually gets sent to firmware, and then we decide after that the transaction is stale and thus the attestation response and certificate might not be in sync, then reporting -EBUSY/-EAGAIN will permanently hose the guest because the message seq fields will be out of sync between firmware and guest kernel. That's why we need to hold the lock to actually block a transaction ID update from occuring once we've committed to sending the attestation request to firmware. > > > + > > + if (__snp_transaction_is_stale(svm->snp_transaction_id)) > > + vmm_ret = SNP_GUEST_VMM_ERR_BUSY; > > + else if (!__snp_handle_guest_req(kvm, control->exit_info_1, > > + control->exit_info_2, &fw_err)) > > + vmm_ret = SNP_GUEST_VMM_ERR_GENERIC; > > + > > + mutex_unlock(&snp_pause_attestation_lock); > > + > > +abort_request: > > + ghcb_set_sw_exit_info_2(svm->sev_es.ghcb, SNP_GUEST_ERR(vmm_ret, fw_err)); > > + > > + return 1; /* resume guest */ > > +} > > + > > +static int snp_begin_ext_guest_req(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu) > > +{ > > + int vmm_ret = SNP_GUEST_VMM_ERR_GENERIC; > > + struct vcpu_svm *svm = to_svm(vcpu); > > + unsigned long data_npages; > > + sev_ret_code fw_err; > > + gpa_t data_gpa; > > + > > + if (!sev_snp_guest(vcpu->kvm)) > > + goto abort_request; > > + > > + data_gpa = vcpu->arch.regs[VCPU_REGS_RAX]; > > + data_npages = vcpu->arch.regs[VCPU_REGS_RBX]; > > + > > + if (!IS_ALIGNED(data_gpa, PAGE_SIZE)) > > + goto abort_request; > > + > > + svm->snp_transaction_id = snp_transaction_get_id(); > > + if (snp_transaction_is_stale(svm->snp_transaction_id)) { > > Why bother?

Pausing is essentially the start of an update transaction initiated by userspace. So the kernel is tracking whether there's a potential transaction that has been started or completed since it first started servicing the attestation request, otherwise there could be a mismatch between the endorsement key used for the attestation report versus the certificate for the endorsement key that was fetched from userspace. -Mike
