The CPU state that contains the internal wrapping key is in the same power domain as the cache. So any sleep state that would invalidate the cache (like S3) also invalidates the state of the wrapping key. But, since the state is inaccessible to software, it needs a special mechanism to save and restore the key during deep sleep. A set of new MSRs are provided as an abstract interface to save and restore the wrapping key, and to check the key status. The wrapping key is saved in a platform-scoped state of non-volatile media. The backup itself and its path from the CPU are encrypted and integrity protected. But this storage's non-volatility is not architecturally guaranteed across off states, such as S5 and G3. The MSRs will be used to back up the key for S3/4 sleep states. Then the kernel code writes one of them to restore the key in each CPU state. Signed-off-by: Chang S.
