Add a flag indicating whether RMPOPT instruction is supported.
RMPOPT is a new instruction that reduces the performance overhead of
RMP checks for the hypervisor and non-SNP guests by allowing those
checks to be skipped when 1-GB memory regions are known to contain no
SEV-SNP guest memory.
For more information on the RMPOPT instruction, see the AMD64 RMPOPT
technical documentation.

The new RMPOPT instruction helps manage per-CPU RMP optimization
structures inside the CPU. It takes a 1GB-aligned physical address
and either returns the status of the optimizations or tries to enable
the optimizations.
Per-CPU RMPOPT tables support at most 2 TB of addressable memory for
RMP optimizations.
Initialize the per-CPU RMPOPT table base to the starting physical
address. This enables RMP optimization for up to 2 TB of system RAM on
all CPUs.
Additionally, add support to setup and enable RMPOPT once SNP is
enabled and initialized.

[Severity: High]
Does this code trigger a WARN_ON() stack trace?
The function setup_clear_cpu_cap() has an explicit WARN_ON(alternatives_patched).
This path can be executed from initcalls long after arch_cpu_finalize_init()
has set alternatives_patched to 1.

[Severity: High]
Can this also trigger the same alternatives_patched WARN_ON() trace?
Since setup_rmptable() can run as part of rootfs_initcalls (via pci_iommu_init()
and amd_iommu_init()), alternatives will already be patched by the time this runs.

[Severity: High]
Would this also result in a WARN_ON() during boot if the system supports RMPOPT
but segmented RMP is disabled?

When SEV-SNP is enabled, all writes to memory are checked to ensure
integrity of SNP guest memory. This imposes performance overhead on the
whole system.
RMPOPT is a new instruction that minimizes the performance overhead of
RMP checks on the hypervisor and on non-SNP guests by allowing RMP
checks to be skipped for 1GB regions of memory that are known not to
contain any SEV-SNP guest memory.
Add support for performing RMP optimizations asynchronously using a
dedicated workqueue.
Enable RMPOPT optimizations for up to 2TB of system RAM starting from
the lowest physical memory address aligned down to a 1GB boundary at
RMP initialization time. RMP checks can initially be skipped for 1GB
memory ranges that do not contain SEV-SNP guest memory (excluding
preassigned pages such as the RMP table and firmware pages). As SNP
guests are launched, RMPUPDATE will disable the corresponding RMPOPT
optimizations.

commit e93db67a4733d3052f6ffa4972745fd9c571f883
Author: Ashish Kalra <ashish.kalra@amd.com>
Subject: x86/sev: Add support to perform RMP optimizations asynchronously
When SEV-SNP is enabled, all writes to memory are checked to ensure
integrity of SNP guest memory. This imposes performance overhead on the
whole system.

[Severity: High]
Does acquiring cpus_read_lock() while migrate_disable() is active create an
AB-BA deadlock with CPU hotplug?
The worker thread calls migrate_disable(), then attempts to acquire
cpus_read_lock() in the fallback leader path. A CPU hotplug thread acquires
the hotplug write lock and then waits for migration-disabled tasks to leave
the CPU, while the worker thread blocks on the hotplug lock waiting for the
write lock to be released.

[Severity: High]
Will executing the expensive RMP hardware scan via synchronous IPI risk
extreme IRQ latency and hard lockups?
Both here and in the followers path, smp_call_function_single() and
on_each_cpu_mask() execute the rmpopt_smp callback in hardirq (IPI) context.
The commit message states the leader's scan is the most expensive part.
Executing a long-running hardware memory scan in hardirq context blocks all
interrupts on the target CPU for the duration of the scan, violating kernel
context rules.
[Severity: High]
Can ignoring the IPI return value allow the fallback leader scan to silently
fail?
If the leader CPU goes offline prior to the dispatch,
smp_call_function_single() returns an error (like -ENXIO) and rmpopt_smp is
never executed. Because this error is ignored, the required cached result
isn't generated. When the followers execute on_each_cpu_mask(), all primary
threads might simultaneously fall back to the slow, expensive scan path in
hardirq context, causing system-wide lockups.

[Severity: High]
Does holding cpus_read_lock() continuously across the entire multi-gigabyte
memory scan loop cause severe system-wide stalls?
The loop processing up to 2TB of physical memory in 1GB chunks holds
cpus_read_lock(). While the loop calls cond_resched(), this only yields the
CPU and does not release the cpus_read_lock() rwsem. Since the operation
involves thousands of synchronous IPIs and can take multiple seconds, any
attempt by a writer (such as CPU hotplug) to acquire the lock will block,
subsequently blocking all other readers system-wide.

[Severity: Medium]
Could repeatedly calling INIT_DELAYED_WORK() on the statically allocated
rmpopt_delayed_work trigger debugobjects warnings?
The INIT_DELAYED_WORK() macro unconditionally initializes the work structure
and its underlying timer. Because rmpopt_delayed_work is statically
allocated and not dynamically freed, calling it multiple times (which occurs
if SEV-SNP is disabled and re-enabled) re-initializes an already tracked
debug object, triggering an 'ODEBUG: init active' warning.

RMPOPT table is a per-CPU table which indicates if 1GB regions of
physical memory are entirely hypervisor-owned or not.
When performing host memory accesses in hypervisor mode as well as
non-SNP guest mode, the processor may consult the RMPOPT table to
potentially skip an RMP access and improve performance.
Events such as RMPUPDATE can clear RMP optimizations. Add an interface
to re-enable those optimizations.

Pages are converted from shared to private as SNP guests are launched.
This destroys exisiting RMPOPT optimizations in the regions where
pages are converted.
Conversely, guest pages are converted back to shared during SNP guest
termination and their region may become eligible for RMPOPT
optimization.
To take advantage of this, perform RMPOPT after guest termination.
Do it after a delay so that a single RMPOPT pass can be done if
multiple guests terminate in a short period of time.

KVM: SEV: Perform RMP optimizations on SNP guest shutdown
This commit triggers an RMP optimization pass after an SNP guest
terminates to take advantage of pages being converted back to shared.
It batches the work so that a single optimization pass can cover
multiple guests terminating within a short period.

[Severity: Medium]
Does calling snp_rmpopt_all_physmem() here trigger the optimization pass
too early in the KVM teardown sequence?
sev_vm_destroy() runs during kvm_arch_destroy_vm(), which executes before
kvm_free_memslots() where the actual conversion of guest memory from private
to shared occurs.
Additionally, looking at snp_rmpopt_all_physmem() in arch/x86/virt/svm/sev.c,
it appears to use queue_delayed_work() rather than mod_delayed_work():
queue_delayed_work(rmpopt_wq, &rmpopt_delayed_work,
msecs_to_jiffies(RMPOPT_WORK_TIMEOUT));
Because queue_delayed_work() does not reset the timer of an already-queued
work item, the timer is not extended when subsequent guests terminate.
If a second guest terminates just before the pending RMPOPT work item executes,
the optimization pass will run concurrently with or prior to the second guest's
kvm_free_memslots(). Since the second guest's memory is still private at that
point, the RMPOPT pass would skip it, leaving the memory unoptimized and
causing a performance regression for RMP checks.
Would it be safer to use mod_delayed_work() to ensure the timer is properly
extended, and perhaps trigger the pass after the memslots have actually been
freed?

Add a debugfs interface to report per-CPU RMPOPT status across all
system RAM.
To dump the per-CPU RMPOPT status for all system RAM:
/sys/kernel/debug/rmpopt# cat rmpopt-table

Memory @ 2GB: CPU(s): 0-1023
