[RFC v2-fix-v4 1/1] x86/tdx: Skip WBINVD instruction for TDX guest

From: Kuppuswamy Sathyanarayanan
Date: Tue Jun 08 2021 - 21:10:46 EST


Current TDX spec does not have support to emulate the WBINVD
instruction. If any feature that uses WBINVD is enabled/used
in TDX guest, it will lead to un-handled #VE exception, which
will be handled as #GP fault.

ACPI drivers also uses WBINVD instruction for cache flushes in
reboot or shutdown code path. Since TDX guest has requirement
to support shutdown feature, skip WBINVD instruction usage
in ACPI drivers for TDX guest.

Since cache is always coherent in TDX guests, making wbinvd as
noop should not cause any issues in above mentioned code path.
The end-behavior is the same as KVM guest (treat as noops).

In future, once TDX guest specification adds support for WBINVD
hypercall, we can pass the handle to KVM to handle it.

Changes since RFC v2-fix-v3:
* Fixed commit log as per review comments.
* Instead of fixing all usages of ACPI_FLUSH_CPU_CACHE(),
created TDX specific exception for it in its implementation.

Changes since RFC v2-fix-v2:
* Instead of handling WBINVD #VE exception as nop, we skip its
usage in currently enabled drivers.
* Adapted commit log for above change.
