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.

From: Ashish Kalra <ashish.kalra@amd.com>
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.

From: Ashish Kalra <ashish.kalra@amd.com>
The SEV firmware enumerates the CPUs at SNP initialization and is not
aware of the OS bringing CPUs online or offline afterwards, so OS CPU
hotplug can diverge from the firmware's expectations and break SNP.
Disable CPU hotplug while SNP is active.
SNP is fully torn down only on the SNP_SHUTDOWN_EX x86_snp_shutdown
path; the legacy path leaves SNP enabled in hardware while clearing
snp_initialized, so __sev_snp_init_locked() can run again. Track the
disable with a flag so it is balanced by a matching enable rather than
stacked, and re-enable hotplug only on the x86_snp_shutdown path, after
snp_shutdown() has cleared the per-core RMPOPT_BASE MSRs with hotplug
still disabled.
This also keeps the CPU set stable for the asynchronous RMPOPT scan
added later in this series, and ensures cpus_read_lock() in the scan
is uncontended.

From: Ashish Kalra <ashish.kalra@amd.com>
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.

From: Ashish Kalra <ashish.kalra@amd.com>
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.
The interface uses mod_delayed_work() instead of queue_delayed_work()
so that the delay timer is reset on each call. This provides proper
batching semantics: re-optimization runs 10 seconds after the *last*
VM termination rather than after the first. mod_delayed_work() also
re-queues work that is already in-flight, so a re-scan request
during an active scan is not silently dropped.

From: Ashish Kalra <ashish.kalra@amd.com>
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.

nit.
I believe you can use cpumask_var_t here and do a zalloc_cpumask_var()
during snp_setup_rmpopt(). That way !X86_FEATURE_RMPOPT configs don't
have to needlessly waste space to keep a redundant cpumask around.
Same comment for rmpopt_report_cpumask in Patch 7 which can be
allocated dynamically during rmpopt_debugfs_setup().

nit.
You can use guard(cpus_read_lock)() unless there is a complicated
locking pattern where you need to drop and re-acquire the read lock.

... this_cpu is neither in the "rmpopt_cpumask", nor is any of its
siblings on "rmpopt_cpumask".
How does that happen?

This creates a delayed work and also waits for it to finish execution
which will add more latency than a simple IPI if the comment about IPI
latency above is accurate.
I think there is some corner case in construction of the
"rmpopt_cpumask" that requires this not-so-pretty else block. Can you
elaborate why this is required?
Perhaps the "rmpopt_cpumask" construction needs:
for_each_online_cpu(cpu) {
/* Nominate the first CPU on the sibling mask for RMPOPT */
if (cpu != cpumask_first(topology_sibling_cpumask(cpu)))
continue;
cpumask_set_cpu(cpu, &rmpopt_cpumask);
}
and all you need here is:
/* Do RMPOPt for local core */
for (pa = rmpopt_pa_start; pa < rmpopt_pa_end; pa += SZ_1G)
rmpopt(pa);
/* Skip this core from concurrent RMPOPT */
cpumask_and_not(follower_mask, &rmpopt_cpumask, topology_sibling_cpumask(cpu));
No?
