Subject: [PATCH v12 17/22] x86/kexec: Flush cache of TDX private memory
Date:   Tue, 27 Jun 2023 02:12:47 +1200

There are two problems in terms of using kexec() to boot to a new kernel
when the old kernel has enabled TDX: 1) Part of the memory pages are
still TDX private pages; 2) There might be dirty cachelines associated
with TDX private pages.

The first problem doesn't matter on the platforms w/o the "partial write
machine check" erratum.  KeyID 0 doesn't have integrity check.  If the
new kernel wants to use any non-zero KeyID, it needs to convert the
memory to that KeyID and such conversion would work from any KeyID.

However the old kernel needs to guarantee there's no dirty cacheline
left behind before booting to the new kernel to avoid silent corruption
from later cacheline writeback (Intel hardware doesn't guarantee cache
coherency across different KeyIDs).

There are two things that the old kernel needs to do to achieve that:

1) Stop accessing TDX private memory mappings:
   a. Stop making TDX module SEAMCALLs (TDX global KeyID);
   b. Stop TDX guests from running (per-guest TDX KeyID).
2) Flush any cachelines from previous TDX private KeyID writes.

For 2), use wbinvd() to flush cache in stop_this_cpu(), following SME
support.  And in this way 1) happens for free as there's no TDX activity
between wbinvd() and the native_halt().

Flushing cache in stop_this_cpu() only flushes cache on remote cpus.  On
the rebooting cpu which does kexec(), unlike SME which does the cache
flush in relocate_kernel(), flush the cache right after stopping remote
cpus in machine_shutdown().

There are two reasons to do so: 1) For TDX there's no need to defer
cache flush to relocate_kernel() because all TDX activities have been
stopped.  2) On the platforms with the above erratum the kernel must
convert all TDX private pages back to normal before booting to the new
kernel in kexec(), and flushing cache early allows the kernel to convert
memory early rather than having to muck with the relocate_kernel()
assembly.

Theoretically, cache flush is only needed when the TDX module has been
initialized.  However initializing the TDX module is done on demand at
runtime, and it takes a mutex to read the module status.  Just check
whether TDX is enabled by the BIOS instead to flush cache.

v11 -> v12:
 - Changed comment/changelog to say kernel doesn't try to handle fast
   warm reset but depends on BIOS to enable workaround (Kirill)
 - Added Kirill's tag

v10 -> v11:
 - Fixed a bug that cache for rebooting cpu isn't flushed for TDX private
   memory.
 - Updated changelog accordingly.

v9 -> v10:
 - No change.

v8 -> v9:
 - Various changelog enhancement and fix (Dave).
 - Improved comment (Dave).

v7 -> v8:
 - Changelog:
   - Removed "leave TDX module open" part due to shut down patch has been
     removed.

v6 -> v7:
 - Improved changelog to explain why don't convert TDX private pages back
   to normal.
