[PATCHv8 06/14] efi/x86: Implement support for unaccepted memory
From: Kirill A. Shutemov
Date: Tue Dec 06 2022 - 20:50:54 EST
UEFI Specification version 2.9 introduces the concept of memory
acceptance: Some Virtual Machine platforms, such as Intel TDX or AMD
SEV-SNP, requiring memory to be accepted before it can be used by the
guest. Accepting happens via a protocol specific for the Virtual
Machine platform.
Accepting memory is costly and it makes VMM allocate memory for the
accepted guest physical address range. It's better to postpone memory
acceptance until memory is needed. It lowers boot time and reduces
memory overhead.
The kernel needs to know what memory has been accepted. Firmware
communicates this information via memory map: a new memory type --
EFI_UNACCEPTED_MEMORY -- indicates such memory.
Range-based tracking works fine for firmware, but it gets bulky for
the kernel: e820 has to be modified on every page acceptance. It leads
to table fragmentation, but there's a limited number of entries in the
e820 table
Another option is to mark such memory as usable in e820 and track if the
range has been accepted in a bitmap. One bit in the bitmap represents
2MiB in the address space: one 4k page is enough to track 64GiB or
physical address space.
In the worst-case scenario -- a huge hole in the middle of the
address space -- It needs 256MiB to handle 4PiB of the address
space.
Any unaccepted memory that is not aligned to 2M gets accepted upfront.
The bitmap is allocated and constructed in the EFI stub and passed down
to the kernel via boot_params. allocate_e820() allocates the bitmap if
unaccepted memory is present, according to the maximum address in the
memory map.
The same boot_params.unaccepted_memory can be used to pass the bitmap
between two kernels on kexec, but the use-case is not yet implemented.
The implementation requires some basic helpers in boot stub. They
provided by linux/ includes in the main kernel image, but is not present
in boot stub. Create copy of required functionality in the boot stub.
