Introduction ------------ Secure AVIC is a new hardware feature in the AMD64 architecture to allow SEV-SNP guests to prevent hypervisor from generating unexpected interrupts to a vCPU or otherwise violate architectural assumptions around APIC behavior. One of the significant differences from AVIC or emulated x2APIC is that Secure AVIC uses a guest-owned and managed APIC backing page. It also introduces additional fields in both the VMCB and the Secure AVIC backing page to aid the guest in limiting which interrupt vectors can be injected into the guest. Guest APIC Backing Page ----------------------- Each vCPU has a guest-allocated APIC backing page of size 4K, which maintains APIC state for that vCPU. The x2APIC MSRs are mapped at their corresposing x2APIC MMIO offset within the guest APIC backing page. All x2APIC accesses by guest or Secure AVIC hardware operate on this backing page. The backing page should be pinned and NPT entry for it should be always mapped while the corresponding vCPU is running. MSR Accesses ------------ Secure AVIC only supports x2APIC MSR accesses. xAPIC MMIO offset based accesses are not supported. Some of the MSR accesses such as ICR writes (with shorthand equal to self), SELF_IPI, EOI, TPR writes are accelerated by Secure AVIC hardware. Other MSR accesses generate a #VC exception. The #VC exception handler reads/writes to the guest APIC backing page. As guest APIC backing page is accessible to the guest, the Secure AVIC driver code optimizes APIC register access by directly reading/writing to the guest APIC backing page (instead of taking the #VC exception route). In addition to the architected MSRs, following new fields are added to the guest APIC backing page which can be modified directly by the guest: a. ALLOWED_IRR ALLOWED_IRR vector indicates the interrupt vectors which the guest allows the hypervisor to send. The combination of host-controlled REQUESTED_IRR vectors (part of VMCB) and ALLOWED_IRR is used by hardware to update the IRR vectors of the Guest APIC backing page. #Offset #bits Description 204h 31:0 Guest allowed vectors 0-31 214h 31:0 Guest allowed vectors 32-63 ... 274h 31:0 Guest allowed vectors 224-255 ALLOWED_IRR is meant to be used specifically for vectors that the hypervisor is allowed to inject, such as device interrupts. Interrupt vectors used exclusively by the guest itself (like IPI vectors) should not be allowed to be injected into the guest for security reasons. b. NMI Request #Offset #bits Description 278h 0 Set by Guest to request Virtual NMI LAPIC Timer Support ------------------- LAPIC timer is emulated by hypervisor. So, APIC_LVTT, APIC_TMICT and APIC_TDCR, APIC_TMCCT APIC registers are not read/written to the guest APIC backing page and are communicated to the hypervisor using SVM_EXIT_MSR VMGEXIT. IPI Support ----------- Only SELF_IPI is accelerated by Secure AVIC hardware. Other IPIs require writing (from the Secure AVIC driver) to the IRR vector of the target CPU backing page and then issuing VMGEXIT for the hypervisor to notify the target vCPU. Driver Implementation Open Points --------------------------------- The Secure AVIC driver only supports physical destination mode. If logical destination mode need to be supported, then a separate x2apic driver would be required for supporting logical destination mode. Setting of ALLOWED_IRR vectors is done from vector.c for IOAPIC and MSI interrupts. ALLOWED_IRR vector is not cleared when an interrupt vector migrates to different CPU. Using a cleaner approach to manage and configure allowed vectors needs more work. Testing ------- This series is based on top of commit 196145c606d0 "Merge tag 'clk-fixes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/clk/linux." Host Secure AVIC support patch series is at [1]. Following tests are done: 1) Boot to Prompt using initramfs and ubuntu fs. 2) Verified timer and IPI as part of the guest bootup. 3) Verified long run SCF TORTURE IPI test. 4) Verified FIO test with NVME passthrough.
