[PATCH kernel v5 5/6] KVM: SEV: Enable data breakpoints in SEV-ES

From: Alexey Kardashevskiy
Date: Tue Apr 11 2023 - 09:00:08 EST


Prior to SEV-ES, KVM saved/restored host debug registers upon switching
to/from a VM. Changing those registers inside a running SEV VM
triggered #VMEXIT to KVM.

SEV-ES added encrypted state (ES) which uses an encrypted page
for the VM state (VMSA). The hardware saves/restores certain registers
on VMRUN/VMEXIT according to a swap type (A, B, C), see
"Table B-3. Swap Types" in the AMD Architecture Programmer’s Manual
volume 2.

The DR6 and DR7 registers have always been swapped as Type A for SEV-ES
guests, but a new feature is available, identified via
CPUID Fn8000001F_EAX[14] "DebugSwap for SEV-ES guests", that provides
support for swapping additional debug registers. DR[0-3] and
DR[0-3]_ADDR_MASK are swapped as Type B when SEV_FEATURES[5] (DebugSwap)
is set.

Enable DebugSwap for a VMSA but only do so if CPUID Fn80000021_EAX[0]
("NoNestedDataBp", "Processor ignores nested data breakpoints") is
supported by the SOC as otherwise a malicious SEV-ES guest can set up
data breakpoints on the #DB IDT entry/stack and cause an infinite loop.
Set the features bit in sev_es_sync_vmsa() which is the last point
when VMSA is not encrypted yet as sev_(es_)init_vmcb() (where the most
init happens) is called not only when VCPU is initialized but also on
intrahost migration when VMSA is encrypted.

Eliminate DR7 and #DB intercepts as:
- they are not needed when DebugSwap is supported;
- #VC for these intercepts is most likely not supported anyway and
kills the VM.

Changes:
v8:
* added CPUID's DebugSwap feature
* commit log, comments updated
* redid the whole thing

v4:
* removed sev_es_is_debug_swap_enabled() helper
* made sev_es_debug_swap_enabled (module param) static
* set sev_feature early in sev_es_init_vmcb() and made intercepts
dependend on it vs. module param
* move set_/clr_dr_intercepts to .c

v3:
* rewrote the commit log again
* rebased on tip/master to use recently defined X86_FEATURE_NO_NESTED_DATA_BP
* s/boot_cpu_has/cpu_feature_enabled/

v2:
* debug_swap moved from vcpu to module_param
* rewrote commit log

Tested with:
===
int x;
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
x = 1;
return 0;
}
===
gcc -g a.c
rsync a.out ruby-954vm:~/
ssh -t ruby-954vm 'gdb -ex "file a.out" -ex "watch x" -ex r'

where ruby-954vm is a VM.

With "/sys/module/kvm_amd/parameters/debug_swap = 0", gdb does not stop
on the watchpoint, with "= 1" - gdb does.
