Doh, yes.

Figured out where I went wrong after reading the RMPUDPATE pseudocode. RMPUPDATE
takes the page size as a parameter even though it unconditionally zeros the page
size flag in the RMP entry for unassigned pages.

A wrapper around rmpupdate() would definitely help, e.g. (though level might need
to be an "int" to avoid a bunch of casts).

int rmp_make_shared(u64 pfn, enum pg_level level);

Wrappers for "private" and "firmware" would probably be helpful too. And if you
do that, I think you can bury both "struct rmpupdate", rmpupdate(), and
X86_TO_RMP_PG_LEVEL() in arch/x86/kernel/sev.c. snp_set_rmptable_state() might
need some refactoring to avoid three booleans, but I guess maybe that could be
an exception? Not sure. Anyways, was thinking something like:

int rmp_make_private(u64 pfn, u64 gpa, enum pg_level level, int asid);
int rmp_make_firmware(u64 pfn);

It would consolidate a bit of code, and more importantly it would give visual
cues to the reader, e.g. it's easy to overlook "val = {0}" meaning "make shared".

Side topic, what happens if a firmware entry is configured with page_size=1?

And one architectural question: what prevents a malicious VMM from punching a 4k
shared page into a 2mb private page? E.g.

rmpupdate(1 << 20, [private, 2mb]);
rmpupdate(1 << 20 + 4096, [shared, 4kb]);

I don't see any checks in the pseudocode that will detect this, and presumably the
whole point of a 2mb private RMP entry is to not have to go walk the individual
4kb entries on a private access.

NEW_RMP = READ_MEM.o [NEW_RMP_PTR]

IF ((NEW_RMP.PAGE_SIZE == 2MB) && (SYSTEM_PA[20:12] != 0)) <-- not taken, 4kb entry
EAX = FAIL_INPUT
EXIT

IF (!NEW_RMP.ASSIGNED && (NEW_RMP.IMMUTABLE || (NEW_RMP.ASID != 0)) <-- not taken, new entry valid
EAX = FAIL_INPUT
EXIT

RMP_ENTRY_PA = RMP_BASE + 0x4000 + (SYSTEM_PA / 0x1000) * 16
IF (RMP_ENTRY_PA > RMP_END)
EAX = FAIL_INPUT
EXIT

// System address must have an RMP entry
OLD_RMP = READ_MEM_PA.o [RMP_ENTRY_PA]
IF (OLD_RMP.IMMUTABLE) <-- passes, private entry not immutable
EAX = FAIL_PERMISSION
EXIT

IF (NEW_RMP.PAGE_SIZE == 4KB)
IF ((SYSTEM_PA[20:12] == 0) && (OLD_RMP.PAGE_SIZE == 2MB)) <- not taken, PA[12] == 1
EAX = FAIL_OVERLAP
EXIT
ELSE
IF (Any 4KB RMP entry with (RMP.ASSIGNED == 1) exists in 2MB region)
EAX = FAIL_OVERLAP
EXIT
ELSE
FOR (I = 1; I < 512, I++) {
temp_RMP = 0
temp_RMP.ASSIGNED = NEW_RMP.ASSIGNED
WRITE_MEM.o [RMP_ENTRY_PA + I * 16] = temp_RMP;
}
