When SEV-SNP is globally enabled on a system, the VMRUN instruction
performs additional security checks on AVIC backing, VMSA, and VMCB page.
On a successful VMRUN, these pages are marked "in-use" by the
hardware in the RMP entry, and any attempt to modify the RMP entry for
these pages will result in page-fault (RMP violation check).
While performing the RMP check, hardware will try to create a 2MB TLB
entry for the large page accesses. When it does this, it first reads
the RMP for the base of 2MB region and verifies that all this memory is
safe. If AVIC backing, VMSA, and VMCB memory happen to be the base of
2MB region, then RMP check will fail because of the "in-use" marking for
the base entry of this 2MB region.
e.g.
1. A VMCB was allocated on 2MB-aligned address.
2. The VMRUN instruction marks this RMP entry as "in-use".
3. Another process allocated some other page of memory that happened to be
within the same 2MB region.
4. That process tried to write its page using physmap.
If the physmap entry in step #4 uses a large (1G/2M) page, then the
hardware will attempt to create a 2M TLB entry. The hardware will find
that the "in-use" bit is set in the RMP entry (because it was a
VMCB page) and will cause an RMP violation check.
See APM2 section 15.36.12 for more information on VMRUN checks when
SEV-SNP is globally active.
A generic allocator can return a page which are 2M aligned and will not
be safe to be used when SEV-SNP is globally enabled. Add a
snp_safe_alloc_page() helper that can be used for allocating the
SNP safe memory. The helper allocated 2 pages and splits them into order-1
allocation. It frees one page and keeps one of the page which is not
2M aligned.
