Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
- Fix error output of boot instance creation failure
Currently if a boot instance creation fails, instead of printing out
the name of the instance that failed, it prints "(null)". That is
because it prints "cur_str" that had already been processed by
strsep(). Print the saved name instead.
While at it, print the error code of the failure.
- Fix use-after-free for same named historgrams
Histograms can be named so that they can be used in multiple events.
But if the named histogram has a variable attached, the second event
that uses the named histogram which duplicates it and needs to free
the original after duplication leaves the old variable in place and
still visible. If another histogram uses than variable, it will use
the stale one which will try to reference the freed duplicate
histogram and crash the kernel.
Free the duplicate variables along with the duplicated histogram
data.
- Check return value of kthread_run() in event self test
The events self tests uses a kthread for testing but does not check
if it succeeded in creating a kthread. If the kthread creation were
to fail, the code will still try to call kthread_stop() on the error
returned.
- Fix race between reading trace_pipe and updating subbuffer size
If a user is reading the trace_pipe file at the same time they update
the ring buffer sub-buffer size, can cause the trace_pipe read to
read stale data. Add trace_access_lock() around updating the ring
buffer sub-buffer size.
- Fix eventfs_inode on failure path in creation of the events directory
In the creation of the "events" directory, if after allocating the
eventfs_inode a failure is detected, it calls cleanup_ei() which
calls free_ei(). The free_ei() will test if eventfs_inode being freed
has no children. It is a bug if it does. But on the failure case of
the creation of the "events" directory, the children lists have not
yet been initialized and the free will trigger a warning because
list_empty() on an uninitialized list returns false.
Move the initialization into init_ei() where it makes more sense and
makes sure that a created eventfs_inode has its lists initialized
upon creation.
- Check return value of kthread_run() in ftrace direct sample code
The sample code that shows how to use the ftrace direct calls does
not test the return of kthread_run() to see if it succeeds. Return a
failure if the kthread_run() doesn't succeed.
- Clear user events state on fork in case of alloc failure
On fork, the child gets a pointer to the parent's user events state.
It makes a copy of it then updates the child's pointer to it. But if
the allocation fails, the duplication function leaves the child with
a pointer to its parent's descriptor. When the child cleans up its
data, it will free the parent's descriptor while the parent is still
using it.
In the duplication function, set the child's user_event_mm to NULL
before testing if the allocation succeeded, and when it exits it will
not free the parent's descriptor.
- Fix retry exhaustion in simple ring buffer reader swap
simple_ring_buffer_swap_reader_page() starts with retry set to 8 and
post-decrements it only after a failed link replacement. On the final
attempt, a successful replacement leaves retry at zero, while a
failed replacement leaves it at -1.
But the check for success expects the retry value to be non-zero and
exits with an error on zero. This is the opposite result. Fix it.
- Fail nicely when the remote swap_reader_page() returns an error
Currently, if the swap_reader_page() of a remote buffer fails, it
triggers a WARN_ON_ONCE() and continues normally. Instead, have it
exit with an error and a pr_warn() print instead of a full WARNING.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +=================================================================== +The Definitive SEV Guest API Documentation +=================================================================== + +1. General description +====================== + +The SEV API is a set of ioctls that are used by the guest or hypervisor +to get or set a certain aspect of the SEV virtual machine. The ioctls belong +to the following classes: + + - Hypervisor ioctls: These query and set global attributes which affect the + whole SEV firmware. These ioctl are used by platform provisioning tools. + + - Guest ioctls: These query and set attributes of the SEV virtual machine. + +2. API description +================== + +This section describes ioctls that is used for querying the SEV guest report +from the SEV firmware. For each ioctl, the following information is provided +along with a description: + + Technology: + which SEV technology provides this ioctl. SEV, SEV-ES, SEV-SNP or all. + + Type: + hypervisor or guest. The ioctl can be used inside the guest or the + hypervisor. + + Parameters: + what parameters are accepted by the ioctl. + + Returns: + the return value. General error numbers (-ENOMEM, -EINVAL) + are not detailed, but errors with specific meanings are. + +The guest ioctl should be issued on a file descriptor of the /dev/sev-guest +device. The ioctl accepts struct snp_user_guest_request. The input and +output structure is specified through the req_data and resp_data field +respectively. If the ioctl fails to execute due to a firmware error, then +the fw_error code will be set, otherwise fw_error will be set to -1. + +The firmware checks that the message sequence counter is one greater than +the guests message sequence counter. If guest driver fails to increment message +counter (e.g. counter overflow), then -EIO will be returned. + +:: + + struct snp_guest_request_ioctl { + /* Message version number */ + __u32 msg_version; + + /* Request and response structure address */ + __u64 req_data; + __u64 resp_data; + + /* bits[63:32]: VMM error code, bits[31:0] firmware error code (see psp-sev.h) */ + union { + __u64 exitinfo2; + struct { + __u32 fw_error; + __u32 vmm_error; + }; + }; + }; + +The host ioctls are issued to a file descriptor of the /dev/sev device. +The ioctl accepts the command ID/input structure documented below. + +:: + + struct sev_issue_cmd { + /* Command ID */ + __u32 cmd; + + /* Command request structure */ + __u64 data; + + /* Firmware error code on failure (see psp-sev.h) */ + __u32 error; + }; + + +2.1 SNP_GET_REPORT +------------------ + +:Technology: sev-snp +:Type: guest ioctl +:Parameters (in): struct snp_report_req +:Returns (out): struct snp_report_resp on success, -negative on error + +The SNP_GET_REPORT ioctl can be used to query the attestation report from the +SEV-SNP firmware. The ioctl uses the SNP_GUEST_REQUEST (MSG_REPORT_REQ) command +provided by the SEV-SNP firmware to query the attestation report. + +On success, the snp_report_resp.data will contains the report. The report +contain the format described in the SEV-SNP specification. See the SEV-SNP +specification for further details. + +2.2 SNP_GET_DERIVED_KEY +----------------------- +:Technology: sev-snp +:Type: guest ioctl +:Parameters (in): struct snp_derived_key_req +:Returns (out): struct snp_derived_key_resp on success, -negative on error + +The SNP_GET_DERIVED_KEY ioctl can be used to get a key derive from a root key. +The derived key can be used by the guest for any purpose, such as sealing keys +or communicating with external entities. + +The ioctl uses the SNP_GUEST_REQUEST (MSG_KEY_REQ) command provided by the +SEV-SNP firmware to derive the key. See SEV-SNP specification for further details +on the various fields passed in the key derivation request. + +On success, the snp_derived_key_resp.data contains the derived key value. See +the SEV-SNP specification for further details. + + +2.3 SNP_GET_EXT_REPORT +---------------------- +:Technology: sev-snp +:Type: guest ioctl +:Parameters (in/out): struct snp_ext_report_req +:Returns (out): struct snp_report_resp on success, -negative on error + +The SNP_GET_EXT_REPORT ioctl is similar to the SNP_GET_REPORT. The difference is +related to the additional certificate data that is returned with the report. +The certificate data returned is being provided by the hypervisor through the +SNP_SET_EXT_CONFIG. + +The ioctl uses the SNP_GUEST_REQUEST (MSG_REPORT_REQ) command provided by the SEV-SNP +firmware to get the attestation report. + +On success, the snp_ext_report_resp.data will contain the attestation report +and snp_ext_report_req.certs_address will contain the certificate blob. If the +length of the blob is smaller than expected then snp_ext_report_req.certs_len will +be updated with the expected value. + +See GHCB specification for further detail on how to parse the certificate blob. + +2.4 SNP_PLATFORM_STATUS +----------------------- +:Technology: sev-snp +:Type: hypervisor ioctl cmd +:Parameters (out): struct sev_user_data_snp_status +:Returns (out): 0 on success, -negative on error + +The SNP_PLATFORM_STATUS command is used to query the SNP platform status. The +status includes API major, minor version and more. See the SEV-SNP +specification for further details. + +2.5 SNP_COMMIT +-------------- +:Technology: sev-snp +:Type: hypervisor ioctl cmd +:Returns (out): 0 on success, -negative on error + +SNP_COMMIT is used to commit the currently installed firmware using the +SEV-SNP firmware SNP_COMMIT command. This prevents roll-back to a previously +committed firmware version. This will also update the reported TCB to match +that of the currently installed firmware. + +2.6 SNP_SET_CONFIG +------------------ +:Technology: sev-snp +:Type: hypervisor ioctl cmd +:Parameters (in): struct sev_user_data_snp_config +:Returns (out): 0 on success, -negative on error + +SNP_SET_CONFIG is used to set the system-wide configuration such as +reported TCB version in the attestation report. The command is similar +to SNP_CONFIG command defined in the SEV-SNP spec. The current values of +the firmware parameters affected by this command can be queried via +SNP_PLATFORM_STATUS. + +2.7 SNP_VLEK_LOAD +----------------- +:Technology: sev-snp +:Type: hypervisor ioctl cmd +:Parameters (in): struct sev_user_data_snp_vlek_load +:Returns (out): 0 on success, -negative on error + +When requesting an attestation report a guest is able to specify whether +it wants SNP firmware to sign the report using either a Versioned Chip +Endorsement Key (VCEK), which is derived from chip-unique secrets, or a +Versioned Loaded Endorsement Key (VLEK) which is obtained from an AMD +Key Derivation Service (KDS) and derived from seeds allocated to +enrolled cloud service providers. + +In the case of VLEK keys, the SNP_VLEK_LOAD SNP command is used to load +them into the system after obtaining them from the KDS, and corresponds +closely to the SNP_VLEK_LOAD firmware command specified in the SEV-SNP +spec. + +3. SEV-SNP CPUID Enforcement +============================ + +SEV-SNP guests can access a special page that contains a table of CPUID values +that have been validated by the PSP as part of the SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE firmware +command. It provides the following assurances regarding the validity of CPUID +values: + + - Its address is obtained via bootloader/firmware (via CC blob), and those + binaries will be measured as part of the SEV-SNP attestation report. + - Its initial state will be encrypted/pvalidated, so attempts to modify + it during run-time will result in garbage being written, or #VC exceptions + being generated due to changes in validation state if the hypervisor tries + to swap the backing page. + - Attempts to bypass PSP checks by the hypervisor by using a normal page, or + a non-CPUID encrypted page will change the measurement provided by the + SEV-SNP attestation report. + - The CPUID page contents are *not* measured, but attempts to modify the + expected contents of a CPUID page as part of guest initialization will be + gated by the PSP CPUID enforcement policy checks performed on the page + during SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE, and noticeable later if the guest owner + implements their own checks of the CPUID values. + +It is important to note that this last assurance is only useful if the kernel +has taken care to make use of the SEV-SNP CPUID throughout all stages of boot. +Otherwise, guest owner attestation provides no assurance that the kernel wasn't +fed incorrect values at some point during boot. + +4. SEV Guest Driver Communication Key +===================================== + +Communication between an SEV guest and the SEV firmware in the AMD Secure +Processor (ASP, aka PSP) is protected by a VM Platform Communication Key +(VMPCK). By default, the sev-guest driver uses the VMPCK associated with the +VM Privilege Level (VMPL) at which the guest is running. Should this key be +wiped by the sev-guest driver (see the driver for reasons why a VMPCK can be +wiped), a different key can be used by reloading the sev-guest driver and +specifying the desired key using the vmpck_id module parameter. + + +Reference +--------- + +SEV-SNP and GHCB specification: developer.amd.com/sev + +The driver is based on SEV-SNP firmware spec 0.9 and GHCB spec version 2.0. diff --git a/Documentation/virt/coco/tdx-guest.rst b/Documentation/virt/coco/tdx-guest.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..46e316db6 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/virt/coco/tdx-guest.rst @@ -0,0 +1,52 @@ +..
