[PATCH 0/2] KVM: SEV: RECEIVE_UPDATE_DATA bug fixes

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

 



Patch 1 pins the target of RECEIVE_UPDATE_DATA for write instead of read.
The SEV API clearly states that the PSP writes guest memory, which makes
sense given that the guest is receiving data.

Patch 2 adds a CLFLUSH of the guest memory as there is no requirement
that the page already be in an encrypted state before RECEIVE_UPDATE_DATA,
i.e. the cache may have dirty, unencrypted data.

On my end, these patches are compile-tested only as I don't have a
userspace VMM that supports SEV live migration, nor are there tests for
any of this stuff.
