[PATCH v7 04/20] x86/virt/tdx: Add skeleton to initialize TDX on demand

From: Kai Huang
Date: Sun Nov 20 2022 - 19:27:48 EST


Before the TDX module can be used to create and run TDX guests, it must
be loaded and properly initialized. The TDX module is expected to be
loaded by the BIOS, and to be initialized by the kernel.

TDX introduces a new CPU mode: Secure Arbitration Mode (SEAM). The host
kernel communicates with the TDX module via a new SEAMCALL instruction.
The TDX module implements a set of SEAMCALL leaf functions to allow the
host kernel to initialize it.

The TDX module can be initialized only once in its lifetime. Instead
of always initializing it at boot time, this implementation chooses an
"on demand" approach to initialize TDX until there is a real need (e.g
when requested by KVM). This approach has below pros:

1) It avoids consuming the memory that must be allocated by kernel and
given to the TDX module as metadata (~1/256th of the TDX-usable memory),
and also saves the CPU cycles of initializing the TDX module (and the
metadata) when TDX is not used at all.

2) It is more flexible to support TDX module runtime updating in the
future (after updating the TDX module, it needs to be initialized
again).

3) It avoids having to do a "temporary" solution to handle VMXON in the
core (non-KVM) kernel for now. This is because SEAMCALL requires CPU
being in VMX operation (VMXON is done), but currently only KVM handles
VMXON. Adding VMXON support to the core kernel isn't trivial. More
importantly, from long-term a reference-based approach is likely needed
in the core kernel as more kernel components are likely needed to
support TDX as well. Allow KVM to initialize the TDX module avoids
having to handle VMXON during kernel boot for now.

Add a placeholder tdx_enable() to detect and initialize the TDX module
on demand, with a state machine protected by mutex to support concurrent
calls from multiple callers.

The TDX module will be initialized in multi-steps defined by the TDX
module:

1) Global initialization;
2) Logical-CPU scope initialization;
3) Enumerate the TDX module capabilities and platform configuration;
4) Configure the TDX module about TDX usable memory ranges and global
KeyID information;
5) Package-scope configuration for the global KeyID;
6) Initialize usable memory ranges based on 4).

The TDX module can also be shut down at any time during its lifetime.
In case of any error during the initialization process, shut down the
module. It's pointless to leave the module in any intermediate state
during the initialization.

Both logical CPU scope initialization and shutting down the TDX module
require calling SEAMCALL on all boot-time present CPUs. For simplicity
just temporarily disable CPU hotplug during the module initialization.

Note TDX architecturally doesn't support physical CPU hot-add/removal.
A non-buggy BIOS should never support ACPI CPU hot-add/removal. This
implementation doesn't explicitly handle ACPI CPU hot-add/removal but
depends on the BIOS to do the right thing.

---

v6 -> v7:
- No change.

v5 -> v6:
- Added code to set status to TDX_MODULE_NONE if TDX module is not
loaded (Chao)
- Added Chao's Reviewed-by.
- Improved comments around cpus_read_lock().

- v3->v5 (no feedback on v4):
- Removed the check that SEAMRR and TDX KeyID have been detected on
all present cpus.
- Removed tdx_detect().
- Added num_online_cpus() to MADT-enabled CPUs check within the CPU
hotplug lock and return early with error message.
- Improved dmesg printing for TDX module detection and initialization.
