From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@xxxxxxx>
A malicious hypervisor could disable the CPUID intercept for an SEV or
SEV-ES guest and trick it into the no-SEV boot path, where it could
potentially reveal secrets. This is not an issue for SEV-SNP guests,
as the CPUID intercept can't be disabled for those.
Remove the Hypervisor CPUID bit check from the SEV detection code to
protect against this kind of attack and add a Hypervisor bit equals
zero check to the SME detection path to prevent non-SEV guests from
trying to enable SME.
This handles the following cases:
1) SEV(-ES) guest where CPUID intercept is disabled. The guest
will still see leaf 0x8000001f and the SEV bit. It can
retrieve the C-bit and boot normally.
2) Non-SEV guests with intercepted CPUID will check SEV_STATUS
MSR and find it 0 and will try to enable SME. This will
fail when the guest finds MSR_K8_SYSCFG to be zero, as it
is emulated by KVM. But we can't rely on that, as there
might be other hypervisors which return this MSR with bit
23 set. The Hypervisor bit check will prevent that the
guest tries to enable SME in this case.
3) Non-SEV guests on SEV capable hosts with CPUID intercept
disabled (by a malicious hypervisor) will try to boot into
the SME path. This will fail, but it is also not considered
a problem because non-encrypted guests have no protection
against the hypervisor anyway.
