[PATCH 0/5 V5] Support kdump for AMD secure memory encryption(SME)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When sme enabled on AMD server, we also need to support kdump. Because
the memory is encrypted in the first kernel, we will remap the old memory
encrypted to the second kernel(crash kernel), and sme is also enabled in
the second kernel, otherwise the old memory encrypted can not be decrypted.
Because simply changing the value of a C-bit on a page will not
automatically encrypt the existing contents of a page, and any data in the
page prior to the C-bit modification will become unintelligible. A page of
memory that is marked encrypted will be automatically decrypted when read
from DRAM and will be automatically encrypted when written to DRAM.

For the kdump, it is necessary to distinguish whether the memory is
encrypted. Furthermore, we should also know which part of the memory is
encrypted or decrypted. We will appropriately remap the memory according
to the specific situation in order to tell cpu how to deal with the
data(encrypted or decrypted). For example, when sme enabled, if the old
memory is encrypted, we will remap the old memory in encrypted way, which
will automatically decrypt the old memory encrypted when we read those data
from the remapping address.

This patch is only for SME kdump, it is not support SEV kdump.

For kdump(SME), there are two cases that doesn't support:
1. SME is enabled in the first kernel, but SME is disabled in the
second kernel
Because the old memory is encrypted, we can't decrypt the old memory
if SME is off in the second kernel.

2. SME is disabled in the first kernel, but SME is enabled in the
second kernel
Maybe it is unnecessary to support this case, because the old memory
is unencrypted, the old memory can be dumped as usual, we don't need
to enable sme in the second kernel, furthermore the requirement is
rare in actual deployment. Another, If we must support the scenario,
it will increase the complexity of the code, we will have to consider
how to transfer the sme flag from the first kernel to the second kernel,
in order to let the second kernel know that whether the old memory is
encrypted.
There are two manners to transfer the SME flag to the second kernel, the
first way is to modify the assembly code, which includes some common
code and the path is too long. The second way is to use kexec tool,
which could require the sme flag to be exported in the first kernel
by "proc" or "sysfs", kexec will read the sme flag from "proc" or
"sysfs" when we use kexec tool to load image, subsequently the sme flag
will be saved in boot_params, we can properly remap the old memory
according to the previously saved sme flag. Although we can fix this
issue, maybe it is too expensive to do this. By the way, we won't fix
the problem unless someone thinks it is necessary to do it.

Some changes:
1. remove the sme_active() check in __ioremap_caller().
2. remove the '#ifdef' stuff throughout this patch.
3. put some logic into the early_memremap_pgprot_adjust() and clean the
previous unnecessary changes, for example: arch/x86/include/asm/dmi.h,
arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c, drivers/acpi/tables.c.
4. add a new file and modify Makefile.
5. clean compile warning in copy_device_table() and some compile error.
6. split the original patch into five patches, it will be better for
review.
7. add some comments.

Some known issues:
1. about SME
Upstream kernel doesn't work when we use kexec in the follow command. The
system will hang on 'HP ProLiant DL385Gen10 AMD EPYC 7251'. But it can't
reproduce on speedway.
(This issue doesn't matter with the kdump patch.)

Reproduce steps:
 # kexec -l /boot/vmlinuz-4.18.0-rc3+ --initrd=/boot/initramfs-4.18.0-rc3+.img --command-line="root=/dev/mapper/rhel_hp--dl385g10--03-root ro mem_encrypt=on rd.lvm.lv=rhel_hp-dl385g10-03/root rd.lvm.lv=rhel_hp-dl385g10-03/swap console=ttyS0,115200n81 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 earlyprintk=serial debug nokaslr"
 # kexec -e (or reboot)

The system will hang:

2. about SEV
Upstream kernel(Host OS) doesn't work in host side, some drivers about
SEV always go wrong in host side. We can't boot SEV Guest OS to test
kdump patch. Maybe it is more reasonable to improve SEV in another
patch. When some drivers can work in host side and it can also boot
Virtual Machine(SEV Guest OS), it will be suitable to fix SEV for kdump.

    is enabled.
  Help to dump the old memory encrypted into vmcore file
