[RFC PATCH v2 00/32] x86: Secure Encrypted Virtualization (AMD)

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

 



This RFC series provides support for AMD's new Secure Encrypted Virtualization
(SEV) feature. This RFC is build upon Secure Memory Encryption (SME) RFCv4 [1].

SEV is an extension to the AMD-V architecture which supports running multiple
VMs under the control of a hypervisor. When enabled, SEV hardware tags all
code and data with its VM ASID which indicates which VM the data originated
from or is intended for. This tag is kept with the data at all times when
inside the SOC, and prevents that data from being used by anyone other than the
owner. While the tag protects VM data inside the SOC, AES with 128 bit
encryption protects data outside the SOC. When data leaves or enters the SOC,
it is encrypted/decrypted  respectively by hardware with a key based on the
associated tag.

SEV guest VMs have the concept of private and shared memory.  Private memory is
encrypted with the  guest-specific key, while shared memory may be encrypted
with hypervisor key.  Certain types of memory (namely instruction pages and
guest page tables) are always treated as private memory by the hardware.
For data memory, SEV guest VMs can choose which pages they would like to be
private. The choice is done using the standard CPU page tables using the C-bit,
and is fully controlled by the guest. Due to security reasons all the DMA
operations inside the  guest must be performed on shared pages (C-bit clear).
Note that since C-bit is only controllable by the guest OS when it is operating
in 64-bit or 32-bit PAE mode, in all other modes the SEV hardware forces the
C-bit to a 1.

SEV is designed to protect guest VMs from a benign but vulnerable (i.e. not
fully malicious) hypervisor. In particular, it reduces the attack surface of
guest VMs and can prevent certain types of VM-escape bugs (e.g. hypervisor
read-anywhere) from being used to steal guest data.

The RFC series also expands crypto driver (ccp.ko) to include the support for
Platform Security Processor (PSP) which is used for communicating with SEV
firmware that runs within the AMD secure processor providing a secure key
management interfaces. The hypervisor uses this interface to encrypt the
bootstrap code and perform common activities such as launching, running,
snapshotting, migrating and debugging encrypted guest.

A new ioctl (KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_OP) is introduced which can be used by Qemu to
issue SEV guest life cycle commands.

The RFC series also includes patches required in guest OS to enable SEV feature.
A guest OS can check SEV support by calling KVM_FEATURE cpuid instruction.

The patch breakdown:
* [1 - 17]: guest OS specific changes when SEV is active
* [18]: already queued in kvm upstream tree but was not in tip tree hence its
  included so that build does not fail
* [19 - 21]: since CCP and PSP shares the same PCIe ID hence the patch expands
  the CCP driver by creating a high level AMD Secure Processor (SP) framework
  to allow integration of PSP device into ccp.ko.
* [22 - 32]: hypervisor changes to support memory encryption

Based on the feedbacks, we have started adding the SEV guest support in OVMF
BIOS. This series has been tested using EDK2/OVMF BIOS, the initial EDK2 patches
has been submmited on edk2 mailing list for discussion.

TODO:
 - add support for migration commands
 - update QEMU RFC's to SEV spec 0.14
 - investigate virtio and vfio support for SEV guest
 - investigate SMM support for SEV guest
 - add support for nested virtualization

Changes since v1:
 - update to newer SEV key management API spec (0.12 -> 0.14)
 - expand the CCP driver and integrate the PSP interface support
 - remove the usage of SEV ref_count and release the SEV FW resources in
   kvm_x86_ops->vm_destroy
 - acquire the kvm->lock before executing the SEV commands and release on exit.
 - rename ioctl from KVM_SEV_ISSUE_CMD to KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_OP
 - extend KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_OP ioctl to require file descriptor for the SEV
   device. A program without access to /dev/sev will not be able to issue SEV
   commands
 - update vmcb on succesful LAUNCH_FINISH to indicate that SEV is active
 - serveral fixes based on Paolo's review feedbacks
 - add APIs to support sharing the guest physical address with hypervisor
 - update kvm pvclock driver to use the shared buffer when SEV is active
 - pin the SEV guest memory
