When freeing decrypted memory to the page allocator the memory needs to be
manually re-encrypted beforehand. If this step is skipped, then the next
user of those pages will have the contents inadvertently exposed to
the guest, or cause the guest to crash if the page is used in way
disallowed by HW (i.e. for executable code or as a page table).
Unfortunately, there are many instance of patterns like:
set_memory_encrypted(pages);
free_pages(pages);
...or...
if (set_memory_decrypted(addr, 1))
free_pages(pages);
This is a problem because set_memory_encrypted() and
set_memory_decrypted() can be failed by the untrusted host in such a way
that an error is returned and the resulting memory is shared.
To aid in a tree-wide cleanup of these callers, add a
free_decrypted_pages() function that will first try to encrypt the pages
before returning them. If it is not successful, have it leak the pages and
warn about this. This is preferable to returning shared pages to allocator
or panicking.
In some cases the code path's for freeing decrypted memory handle both
encrypted and decrypted pages. In this case, rely on set_memory() to
handle being asked to convert memory to the state it is already in.
Going forward, rely on cross-arch callers to find and use
free_decrypted_pages() instead of resorting to more heavy handed solutions
like terminating the guest when nasty VMM behavior is observed.
To make s390's arch set_memory_XXcrypted() definitions available in
linux/set_memory.h, add include for s390's asm version of set_memory.h.
