[RFC PATCH v4 06/26] x86/cpu/intel: Allow SGX virtualization without Launch Control support

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

 



From: Sean Christopherson <sean.j.christopherson@xxxxxxxxx>

The kernel will currently disable all SGX support if the hardware does
not support launch control.  Make it more permissive to allow SGX
virtualization on systems without Launch Control support.  This will
allow KVM to expose SGX to guests that have less-strict requirements on
the availability of flexible launch control.

Improve error message to distinguish between three cases.  There are two
cases where SGX support is completely disabled:
1) SGX has been disabled completely by the BIOS
2) SGX LC is locked by the BIOS.  Bare-metal support is disabled because
   of LC unavailability.  SGX virtualization is unavailable (because of
   Kconfig).
One where it is partially available:
3) SGX LC is locked by the BIOS.  Bare-metal support is disabled because
   of LC unavailability.  SGX virtualization is supported.

v3->v4:

 - Removed cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_SGX1) check in enable_sgx_any, since it logically
   is not related to KVM SGX series, per Sean.
 - Changed declaration of variables to be in reverse-christmas tree style, per
   Jarkko.

v2->v3:

 - Added to use 'enable_sgx_any', per Dave.
 - Changed to call clear_cpu_cap() directly, rather than using clear_sgx_caps()
   and clear_sgx_lc().
 - Changed to use CONFIG_X86_SGX_KVM, instead of CONFIG_X86_SGX_VIRTUALIZATION.

v1->v2:

 - Refined commit message per Dave's comments.
 - Added check to only enable SGX virtualization when VMX is supported, per
   Dave's comment.
 - Refined error msg print to explicitly call out SGX virtualization will be
   supported when LC is locked by BIOS, per Dave's comment.
