Paolo Bonzini 28224ef02b KVM: TDX: Report supported optional TDVMCALLs in TDX capabilities
Allow userspace to advertise TDG.VP.VMCALL subfunctions that the
kernel also supports.  For each output register of GetTdVmCallInfo's
leaf 1, add two fields to KVM_TDX_CAPABILITIES: one for kernel-supported
TDVMCALLs (userspace can set those blindly) and one for user-supported
TDVMCALLs (userspace can set those if it knows how to handle them).

Intel Trust Domain Extensions (TDX)
===================================
Overview
========
Intel's Trust Domain Extensions (TDX) protect confidential guest VMs from the
host and physical attacks. A CPU-attested software module called 'the TDX
module' runs inside a new CPU isolated range to provide the functionalities to
manage and run protected VMs, a.k.a, TDX guests or TDs.
Please refer to [1] for the whitepaper, specifications and other resources.
This documentation describes TDX-specific KVM ABIs. The TDX module needs to be
initialized before it can be used by KVM to run any TDX guests. The host
core-kernel provides the support of initializing the TDX module, which is
described in the Documentation/arch/x86/tdx.rst.
API description
===============
KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_OP
---------------------
:Type: vm ioctl, vcpu ioctl
For TDX operations, KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_OP is re-purposed to be generic
ioctl with TDX specific sub-ioctl() commands.
::
/* Trust Domain Extensions sub-ioctl() commands. */
enum kvm_tdx_cmd_id {
KVM_TDX_CAPABILITIES = 0,
KVM_TDX_INIT_VM,
KVM_TDX_INIT_VCPU,
KVM_TDX_INIT_MEM_REGION,
KVM_TDX_FINALIZE_VM,
KVM_TDX_GET_CPUID,
KVM_TDX_CMD_NR_MAX,
};
struct kvm_tdx_cmd {
/* enum kvm_tdx_cmd_id */
__u32 id;
/* flags for sub-command. If sub-command doesn't use this, set zero. */
__u32 flags;
/*
* data for each sub-command. An immediate or a pointer to the actual
* data in process virtual address. If sub-command doesn't use it,
* set zero.
*/
__u64 data;
/*
* Auxiliary error code. The sub-command may return TDX SEAMCALL
* status code in addition to -Exxx.
*/
__u64 hw_error;
};
KVM_TDX_CAPABILITIES
--------------------
:Type: vm ioctl
:Returns: 0 on success, <0 on error
Return the TDX capabilities that current KVM supports with the specific TDX
module loaded in the system. It reports what features/capabilities are allowed
to be configured to the TDX guest.
- id: KVM_TDX_CAPABILITIES
- flags: must be 0
- data: pointer to struct kvm_tdx_capabilities
- hw_error: must be 0
::
struct kvm_tdx_capabilities {
__u64 supported_attrs;
__u64 supported_xfam;
/* TDG.VP.VMCALL hypercalls executed in kernel and forwarded to
* userspace, respectively
*/
__u64 kernel_tdvmcallinfo_1_r11;
__u64 user_tdvmcallinfo_1_r11;
/* TDG.VP.VMCALL instruction executions subfunctions executed in kernel
* and forwarded to userspace, respectively
*/
__u64 kernel_tdvmcallinfo_1_r12;
__u64 user_tdvmcallinfo_1_r12;
__u64 reserved[250];
/* Configurable CPUID bits for userspace */
struct kvm_cpuid2 cpuid;
};
KVM_TDX_INIT_VM
---------------
:Type: vm ioctl
:Returns: 0 on success, <0 on error
Perform TDX specific VM initialization. This needs to be called after
KVM_CREATE_VM and before creating any VCPUs.
- id: KVM_TDX_INIT_VM
- flags: must be 0
- data: pointer to struct kvm_tdx_init_vm
- hw_error: must be 0
::
struct kvm_tdx_init_vm {
__u64 attributes;
__u64 xfam;
__u64 mrconfigid[6]; /* sha384 digest */
__u64 mrowner[6]; /* sha384 digest */
__u64 mrownerconfig[6]; /* sha384 digest */
/* The total space for TD_PARAMS before the CPUIDs is 256 bytes */
__u64 reserved[12];
/*
* Call KVM_TDX_INIT_VM before vcpu creation, thus before
* KVM_SET_CPUID2.
* This configuration supersedes KVM_SET_CPUID2s for VCPUs because the
* TDX module directly virtualizes those CPUIDs without VMM. The user
* space VMM, e.g. qemu, should make KVM_SET_CPUID2 consistent with
* those values. If it doesn't, KVM may have wrong idea of vCPUIDs of
* the guest, and KVM may wrongly emulate CPUIDs or MSRs that the TDX
* module doesn't virtualize.
*/
struct kvm_cpuid2 cpuid;
};
KVM_TDX_INIT_VCPU
-----------------
:Type: vcpu ioctl
:Returns: 0 on success, <0 on error
Perform TDX specific VCPU initialization.
- id: KVM_TDX_INIT_VCPU
- flags: must be 0
- data: initial value of the guest TD VCPU RCX
- hw_error: must be 0
KVM_TDX_INIT_MEM_REGION
-----------------------
:Type: vcpu ioctl
:Returns: 0 on success, <0 on error
Initialize @nr_pages TDX guest private memory starting from @gpa with userspace
provided data from @source_addr.
Note, before calling this sub command, memory attribute of the range
[gpa, gpa + nr_pages] needs to be private. Userspace can use
KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES to set the attribute.
If KVM_TDX_MEASURE_MEMORY_REGION flag is specified, it also extends measurement.
- id: KVM_TDX_INIT_MEM_REGION
- flags: currently only KVM_TDX_MEASURE_MEMORY_REGION is defined
- data: pointer to struct kvm_tdx_init_mem_region
- hw_error: must be 0
::
#define KVM_TDX_MEASURE_MEMORY_REGION (1UL << 0)
struct kvm_tdx_init_mem_region {
__u64 source_addr;
__u64 gpa;
__u64 nr_pages;
};
KVM_TDX_FINALIZE_VM
-------------------
:Type: vm ioctl
:Returns: 0 on success, <0 on error
Complete measurement of the initial TD contents and mark it ready to run.
- id: KVM_TDX_FINALIZE_VM
- flags: must be 0
- data: must be 0
- hw_error: must be 0
KVM_TDX_GET_CPUID
-----------------
:Type: vcpu ioctl
:Returns: 0 on success, <0 on error
Get the CPUID values that the TDX module virtualizes for the TD guest.
When it returns -E2BIG, the user space should allocate a larger buffer and
retry. The minimum buffer size is updated in the nent field of the
struct kvm_cpuid2.
- id: KVM_TDX_GET_CPUID
- flags: must be 0
- data: pointer to struct kvm_cpuid2 (in/out)
- hw_error: must be 0 (out)
::
struct kvm_cpuid2 {
__u32 nent;
__u32 padding;
struct kvm_cpuid_entry2 entries[0];
};
struct kvm_cpuid_entry2 {
__u32 function;
__u32 index;
__u32 flags;
__u32 eax;
__u32 ebx;
__u32 ecx;
__u32 edx;
__u32 padding[3];
};
KVM TDX creation flow
=====================
In addition to the standard KVM flow, new TDX ioctls need to be called. The
control flow is as follows:
#. Check system wide capability
* KVM_CAP_VM_TYPES: Check if VM type is supported and if KVM_X86_TDX_VM
is supported.
#. Create VM
* KVM_CREATE_VM
* KVM_TDX_CAPABILITIES: Query TDX capabilities for creating TDX guests.
* KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION(KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS): Query maximum VCPUs the TD can
support at VM level (TDX has its own limitation on this).
* KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ: Configure TD's TSC frequency if a different TSC frequency
than host is desired. This is Optional.
* KVM_TDX_INIT_VM: Pass TDX specific VM parameters.
#. Create VCPU
* KVM_CREATE_VCPU
* KVM_TDX_INIT_VCPU: Pass TDX specific VCPU parameters.
* KVM_SET_CPUID2: Configure TD's CPUIDs.
* KVM_SET_MSRS: Configure TD's MSRs.
#. Initialize initial guest memory
* Prepare content of initial guest memory.
* KVM_TDX_INIT_MEM_REGION: Add initial guest memory.
* KVM_TDX_FINALIZE_VM: Finalize the measurement of the TDX guest.
#. Run VCPU
