[PATCH v2 0/9] Move initializing SEV/SNP functionality to KVM

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

 



From: Ashish Kalra <ashish.kalra@xxxxxxx>

Remove initializing SEV/SNP functionality from PSP driver and instead add
support to KVM to explicitly initialize the PSP if KVM wants to use
SEV/SNP functionality.

This removes SEV/SNP initialization at PSP module probe time and does
on-demand SEV/SNP initialization when KVM really wants to use 
SEV/SNP functionality. This will allow running legacy non-confidential
VMs without initializating SEV functionality. 

This will assist in adding SNP CipherTextHiding support and SEV firmware
hotloading support in KVM without sharing SEV ASID management and SNP
guest context support between PSP driver and KVM and keeping all that
support only in KVM.

The on-demand SEV initialization support requires a fix in QEMU to 
remove check for SEV initialization to be done prior to launching
SEV/SEV-ES VMs. 
NOTE: With the above fix for QEMU, older QEMU versions will be broken
with respect to launching SEV/SEV-ES VMs with the newer kernel/KVM as
older QEMU versions require SEV initialization to be done before
launching SEV/SEV-ES VMs.

v2:
- Added support for separate SEV and SNP platform initalization, while
SNP platform initialization is done at KVM module load time, SEV 
platform initialization is done on demand at SEV/SEV-ES VM launch.
- Added support for separate SEV and SNP platform shutdown, both 
SEV and SNP shutdown done at KVM module unload time, only SEV
shutdown down when all SEV/SEV-ES VMs have been destroyed, this
allows SEV firmware hotloading support anytime during system lifetime.
- Updated commit messages for couple of patches in the series with
reference to the feedback received on v1 patches.
