Subject: [PATCH 3/9] x86/hyperv: Mark Hyper-V vp assist page unencrypted in SEV-SNP enlightened guest

From: Tianyu Lan <[email protected]>

hv vp assist page needs to be shared between SEV-SNP guest and Hyper-V.
So mark the page unencrypted in the SEV-SNP guest.

Why do we need to set the page as decrypted here and not when we
allocate the page (a few lines above)? And why do we need to clear it
_after_ we made it decrypted? In case we care about not leaking the
stale content to the hypervisor, we should've cleared it _before_, but
the bigger problem I see is that memset() is problemmatic e.g. for KVM
which uses enlightened VMCS. You put a CPU offline and then back online
and this path will be taken. Clearing VP assist page will likely brake
things. (AFAIU SEV-SNP Hyper-V guests don't expose SVM yet so the
problem is likely theoretical only, but still).

If Linux root partition boots in the SEV-SNP guest, the page still needs
to be decrypted.

The page will be made dirt by hardware after decrypting operation and so
memset the page after that.

I'd suggest we add a flag to indicate that VP assist page was actually
set (on the first invocation of hv_cpu_init() for guest partitions and
all invocations for root partition) and only call
set_memory_decrypted()/memset() then: that would both help with the
potential issue with KVM using enlightened vmcs and avoid the unneeded
hypercall.

We have code in place that prevents this scenario. We don't allow Linux
in the root partition to run in SEV-SNP mode. See commit f8acb24aaf89.

I think there's actually a more immediate problem with the code as
written. The VP assist page for a CPU is not re-encrypted or freed when
a CPU goes offline (for reasons that have been discussed elsewhere). So
if a CPU in an SEV-SNP VM goes offline and then comes back online, the
originally allocated and already decrypted VP assist page will be reused.
But bad things will happen if we try to decrypt the page again.

Given that we disallow the root partition running in SEV-SNP mode,
can we avoid the complexity of a flag, and just do the decryption and
zero'ing when the page is allocated?

Sure, makes perfect sense but let's leave a [one line] comment why we
don't do any decryption for root partition then.
