[PATCH v3 02/19] x86/boot: Move mem_encrypt= parsing to the decompressor

From: Ard Biesheuvel
Date: Mon Jan 29 2024 - 13:06:05 EST


From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@xxxxxxxxxx>

The early SME/SEV code parses the command line very early, in order to
decide whether or not memory encryption should be enabled, which needs
to occur even before the initial page tables are created.

This is problematic for a number of reasons:
- this early code runs from the 1:1 mapping provided by the decompressor
or firmware, which uses a different translation than the one assumed by
the linker, and so the code needs to be built in a special way;
- parsing external input while the entire kernel image is still mapped
writable is a bad idea in general, and really does not belong in
security minded code;
- the current code ignores the built-in command line entirely (although
this appears to be the case for the entire decompressor)

Given that the decompressor/EFI stub is an intrinsic part of the x86
bootable kernel image, move the command line parsing there and out of
the core kernel. This removes the need to build lib/cmdline.o in a
special way, or to use RIP-relative LEA instructions in inline asm
blocks.

This involves a pair of new xloadflags in the setup header to indicate
that a) mem_encrypt= was provided, and b) whether it was set to on or
off. What this actually means in terms of default behavior when the
command line parameter is omitted is left up to the existing logic -
this permits the same flags to be reused if the need arises.
