[PATCH v4 00/16] Secure Virtual Machine Enablement

Hello,

This is a minor update of this patch series. It addresses review comments
made to v3. Details are in the changelog. The sysfs patch is updated and
included here but as I mentioned earlier can be postponed. It is marked
RFC for that reason.

As with the previous version, the patch introducing ucall_norets() (patch 1)
and the one adding documentation on the Ultravisor (patch 15) are copied
from v5 of Claudio Carvalho's KVM on Ultravisor series and don't yet address
the review comments made there. They are included here so that this series
can stand on its own.

The patches apply on top of v4 of the <asm/mem_encrypt.h> cleanup series:

https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/20190806044919.10622-1-bauerman@linux.ibm.com/

Everything is available in branch ultravisor-secure-vm (applied on top of
today's powerpc/next) at this repo:

https://github.com/bauermann/linux.git

Original cover letter below, and changelog at the bottom:

This series enables Secure Virtual Machines (SVMs) on powerpc. SVMs use the
Protected Execution Facility (PEF) and request to be migrated to secure
memory during prom_init() so by default all of their memory is inaccessible
to the hypervisor. There is an Ultravisor call that the VM can use to
request certain pages to be made accessible to (or shared with) the
hypervisor.

The objective of these patches is to have the guest perform this request
for buffers that need to be accessed by the hypervisor such as the LPPACAs,
the SWIOTLB memory and the Debug Trace Log.

Patch 3 ("powerpc: Add support for adding an ESM blob to the zImage
wrapper") is posted as RFC because we are still finalizing the details on
how the ESM blob will be passed along with the kernel. All other patches are
(hopefully) in upstreamable shape and don't depend on this patch.

Unfortunately this series still doesn't enable the use of virtio devices in
the secure guest. This support depends on a discussion that is currently
ongoing with the virtio community:

https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/87womn8inf.fsf@morokweng.localdomain/

I was able to test it using Claudio's patches in the host kernel, booting
normally using an initramfs for the root filesystem.

This is the command used to start up the guest with QEMU 4.0:

qemu-system-ppc64				\
	-nodefaults				\
	-cpu host				\
	-machine pseries,accel=kvm,kvm-type=HV,cap-htm=off,cap-cfpc=broken,cap-sbbc=broken,cap-ibs=broken \
	-display none				\
	-serial mon:stdio			\
	-smp 1					\
	-m 4G					\
	-kernel /root/bauermann/vmlinux		\
	-initrd /root/bauermann/fs_small.cpio	\
	-append 'debug'

Changelog

  - Changed to check MSR_S on the current CPU. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
  - Added documentation for new sysfs file. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.

- Patch "powerpc/pseries/iommu: Don't use dma_iommu_ops on secure guests"
  - Changed to only call set_pci_dma_ops() on non-secure guests. Suggested
    by Christoph Hellwig.

- Patch "powerpc/pseries/svm: Force SWIOTLB for secure guests"

    Michael Ellerman.

- Patch "Documentation/powerpc: Ultravisor API"
  - Use updated patch from Claudio Carvalho's KVM series v5.

Since v2:

- Patch "powerpc/kernel: Add ucall_norets() ultravisor call handler"
  - Borrowed unchanged from Claudio's "kvmppc: Paravirtualize KVM to support
    ultravisor" series.

- Patch "powerpc/prom_init: Add the ESM call to prom_init"
  - Briefly mention in the commit message why we pass the kernel base address
    and FDT to the Enter Secure Mode ultracall. Suggested by Alexey
    Kardashevskiy.
  - Use enter_secure_mode() version provided by Segher Boessenkool.

- Patch "powerpc/pseries/svm: Add helpers for UV_SHARE_PAGE and UV_UNSHARE_PAGE"
  - Use ucall_norets() which doesn't need to be passed a return buffer.
    Suggested by Alexey Kardashevskiy.

- Patch "powerpc: Introduce the MSR_S bit"
  - Moved from Claudio's "kvmppc: Paravirtualize KVM to support ultravisor"
    series to this series.

- Patch "Documentation/powerpc: Ultravisor API"
  - New patch from Sukadev Bhattiprolu. Will also appear on Claudio's
    kvmppc series.

Since v1:

- Patch "powerpc/pseries: Introduce option to build secure virtual machines"
  - Dropped redundant "default n" from CONFIG_PPC_SVM. Suggested by Christoph
    Hellwig.

- Patch "powerpc: Add support for adding an ESM blob to the zImage wrapper"
  - Renamed prom_rtas_os_term_hcall() to prom_rtas_hcall(). Suggested by Alexey
    Kardashevskiy.
  - In prom_rtas_hcall(), changed prom_printf() calls to prom_debug(), and
    use H_RTAS constant instead of raw value.
  - Changed enter_secure_mode() to new ABI passing ucall number in r3.
    Also changed it to accept kbase argument instead of ESM blob address.
  - Changed setup_secure_guest() to only make the ESM ultracall if svm=1 was
    passed on the kernel command line.

- Patch "powerpc/pseries/svm: Unshare all pages before kexecing a new kernel"
  - New patch from Ram Pai.

- Patch "powerpc/pseries/svm: Force SWIOTLB for secure guests"
  - No need to define sme_me_mask, sme_active() and sev_active() anymore.
  - Add definitions for mem_encrypt_active() and force_dma_unencrypted().
  - Select ARCH_HAS_FORCE_DMA_UNENCRYPTED in CONFIG_PPC_SVM.
