On VMGEXIT, sev_handle_vmgexit() creates a host mapping for the GHCB GPA,
and unmaps it just before VM-entry. This long-lived GHCB map is used by
the VMGEXIT handler through accessors such as ghcb_{set_get}_xxx().

A long-lived GHCB map can cause issue when SEV-SNP is enabled. When
SEV-SNP is enabled the mapped GPA needs to be protected against a page
state change.

To eliminate the long-lived GHCB mapping, update the GHCB sync operations
to explicitly map the GHCB before access and unmap it after access is
complete. This requires that the setting of the GHCBs sw_exit_info_{1,2}
fields be done during sev_es_sync_to_ghcb(), so create two new fields in
the vcpu_svm struct to hold these values when required to be set outside
of the GHCB mapping.

There is a perf cost to this suggestion but it might make accessing
the GHCB safer for KVM. Have you thought about just using
kvm_read_guest() or copy_from_user() to fully copy out the GCHB into a
KVM owned buffer, then copying it back before the VMRUN. That way the
KVM doesn't need to guard against page_state_changes on the GHCBs,
that could be a perf improvement in a follow up.

Since we cannot unmap GHCBs I don't think UPM will help here so we
probably want to make these patches safe against malicious guests
making GHCBs private. But maybe UPM does help?

Along with the performance costs you mentioned, the main concern here will be the GHCB write-back path (copying it back) before VMRUN: this will again hit the issue we have currently with 
kvm_write_guest() / copy_to_user(), when we use it to sync the scratch buffer back to GHCB. This can fail if guest RAM is mapped using huge-page(s) and RMP is 4K. Please refer to the patch/fix
mentioned below, kvm_write_guest() potentially can fail before VMRUN in case of SNP :

commit 94ed878c2669532ebae8eb9b4503f19aa33cd7aa
Author: Ashish Kalra <ashish.kalra@amd.com>
Date:   Mon Jun 6 22:28:01 2022 +0000
        
    KVM: SVM: Sync the GHCB scratch buffer using already mapped ghcb
        
    Using kvm_write_guest() to sync the GHCB scratch buffer can fail
    due to host mapping being 2M, but RMP being 4K. The page fault handling
    in do_user_addr_fault() fails to split the 2M page to handle RMP fault due
    to it being called here in a non-preemptible context. Instead use
    the already kernel mapped ghcb to sync the scratch buffer when the
    scratch buffer is contained within the GHCB.
        
Thanks,
Ashish

Right.
 
>That RMP violation would cause the host to crash unless we use some copy_to_user() type protections.

As such copy_to_user() will only swallow the RMP violation and return failure, so the host can retry the write.

> I don't see anything mechanism for this patch to add the page state change protection discussed. Can't another vCPU still convert the GHCB to private?

We do have the protections for GHCB getting mapped to private specifically, there are new post_{map|unmap}_gfn functions added to verify if it is safe to map
GHCB pages. There is a PSC spinlock added which protects again page state change for these mapped pages. 
Below is the reference to this patch:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1655761627.git.ashish.kalra@amd.com/T/#mafcaac7296eb9a92c0ea58730dbd3ca47a8e0756

But do note that there is protection only for GHCB pages and there is a need to add generic post_{map,unmap}_gfn() ops that can be used to verify
that it's safe to map a given guest page in the hypervisor. This is a TODO right now and probably this is something which UPM can address more cleanly.
 
>I was wrong about the importance of this though seanjc@ walked me through how UPM will solve this issue so no worries about this until the series is rebased on to UPM.

Thank you Ashish. I had missed that.

Can you help me understand why its OK to use kvm_write_guest() for the
|snp_certs_data| inside of snp_handle_ext_guest_request() in patch
42/49? I would have thought we'd have the same 2M vs 4K mapping
issues.
