+Confidential VMBus
+------------------
+
+The confidential VMBus enables the confidential guest not to interact with the
+untrusted host partition and the untrusted hypervisor. Instead, the guest relies
+on the trusted paravisor to communicate with the devices processing sensitive
+data. The hardware (SNP or TDX) encrypts the guest memory and the register state
+while measuring the paravisor image using the platform security processor to
+ensure trusted and confidential computing.
+
+Confidential VMBus provides a secure communication channel between the guest and
+the paravisor, ensuring that sensitive data is protected from hypervisor-level
+access through memory encryption and register state isolation.
+
+The unencrypted data never leaves the VM so neither the host partition nor the
+hypervisor can access it at all. In addition to that, the guest only needs to
+establish a VMBus connection with the paravisor for the channels that process
+sensitive data, and the paravisor abstracts the details of communicating with
+the specific devices away.
+
+Confidential VMBus is an extension of Confidential Computing (CoCo) VMs
+(a.k.a. "Isolated" VMs in Hyper-V terminology). Without Confidential VMBus,
+guest VMBus device drivers (the "VSC"s in VMBus terminology) communicate
+with VMBus servers (the VSPs) running on the Hyper-V host. The
+communication must be through memory that has been decrypted so the
+host can access it. With Confidential VMBus, one or more of the VSPs reside
+in the trusted paravisor layer in the guest VM. Since the paravisor layer also
+operates in encrypted memory, the memory used for communication with
+such VSPs does not need to be decrypted and thereby exposed to the
+Hyper-V host. The paravisor is responsible for communicating securely
+with the Hyper-V host as necessary. In some cases (e.g. time synchonization,
+key-value pairs exchange) the unencrypted data doesn't need to be communicated
+with the host at all, and a conventional VMBus connection suffices.
+
+Here is the data flow for a conventional VMBus connection and the Confidential
+VMBus connection (C stands for the client or VSC, S for the server or VSP):

++-------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+An implementation of the VMBus relay that offers the Confidential VMBus channels
+is available in the OpenVMM project as a part of the OpenHCL paravisor. Please
+refer to https://openvmm.dev/ and https://github.com/microsoft/openvmm for more
+information about the OpenHCL paravisor.
+
+A guest that is running with a paravisor must determine at runtime if
+Confidential VMBus is supported by the current paravisor. It does so by first
+trying to establish a Confidential VMBus connection with the paravisor using
+standard mechanisms where the memory remains encrypted. If this succeeds,
+then the guest can proceed to use Confidential VMBus. If it fails, then the
+guest must fallback to establishing a non-Confidential VMBus connection with
+the Hyper-V host.
+
+Confidential VMBus is a characteristic of the VMBus connection as a whole,
+and of each VMBus channel that is created. When a Confidential VMBus
+connection is established, the paravisor provides the guest the message-passing
+path that is used for VMBus device creation and deletion, and it provides a
+per-CPU synthetic interrupt controller (SynIC) just like the SynIC that is
+offered by the Hyper-V host. Each VMBus device that is offered to the guest
+indicates the degree to which it participates in Confidential VMBus. The offer
+indicates if the device uses encrypted ring buffers, and if the device uses
+encrypted memory for DMA that is done outside the ring buffer. These settings
+may be different for different devices using the same Confidential VMBus
+connection.
+
+Although these settings are separate, in practice it'll always be encrypted
+ring buffer only or both encrypted ring buffer and external data. If a channel
+is offered by the paravisor with confidential VMBus, the ring buffer can always
+be encrypted since it's strictly for communication between the VTL2 paravisor
+and the VTL0 guest. However, other memory regions are often used for e.g. DMA,
+so they need to be accessible by the underlying hardware, and must be unencrypted
+(unless the device supports encrypted memory). Currently, there are no any VSPs
+in OpenHCL that support encrypted external memory, but we will use it in the
+future.
+
+Because some devices on a Confidential VMBus may require decrypted ring buffers
+and DMA transfers, the guest must interact with two SynICs -- the one provided
+by the paravisor and the one provided by the Hyper-V host when Confidential
+VMBus is not offered. Interrupts are always signaled by the paravisor SynIC, but
+the guest must check for messages and for channel interrupts on both SynICs.
+
+In the case of a confidential VM, regular SynIC access by the guest is
+intercepted by the paravisor (this includes various MSRs such as the SIMP and
+SIEFP, as well as hypercalls like HvPostMessage and HvSignalEvent). If the guest
+actually wants to communicate with the hypervisor, it has to use special mechanisms
+(GHCB page on SNP, or tdcall on TDX). Messages will always be one or the other:
+with confidential VMBus, all messages use the paravisor SynIC, otherwise they all
+use the hypervisor SynIC. For interrupt signaling, though, some channels may be
+running on the host (non-confidential, using the VMBus relay) and use the hypervisor
+SynIC, and some on the paravisor and use its SynIC. The RelIDs are coordinated by
+the OpenHCL VMBus server and are guaranteed to be unique regardless of whether
+the channel originated on the host or the paravisor.

This will generate all kinds of errors during the docs build and will
not give the results you are looking for - please actually build the
docs after making a change like this.
You need to put the diagram into a literal block.

Maybe put this section immediately after the "Guest communication with

Is this statement really true? The VM contains both the guest and the paravisor,
so it's also a statement about the paravisor. I don't know what the paravisor
does for channels it is just proxying. Presumably it must communicate the
unencrypted data to the host.

This statement seems to contradict the statement in the previous paragraph, and
the code. If all messages use the paravisor SynIC when Confidential VMBus is used,
why must the guest check for messages on both SynICs?

The confidential VMBus is supported starting from the protocol
version 6.0 onwards.
Update the relevant definitions, and provide a function that returns
whether VMBus is confidential or not. No functional changes.

I'd like to see a little more detailed explanation for "why" the
new functions. Something like:
The existing Hyper-V wrappers for getting and setting MSRs are
hv_get/set_msr(). Via hv_get/set_non_nested_msr(), they detect
when running in a CoCo VM with a paravisor, and use the TDX or
SNP guest-host communication protocol to bypass the paravisor
and go directly to the host hypervisor for SynIC MSRs. The "set"
function also implements the required special handling for the
SINT MSRs.
But in some Confidential VMBus cases, the guest wants to talk only
with the paravisor. To accomplish this, provide new functions for
accessing SynICs that always do direct accesses (i.e., not via
TDX or SNP GHCB), which will go to the paravisor. The mirroring
of the existing "set" function is also not needed. These functions
should be used only in the specific Confidential VMBus cases that
require them.
And I'm not sure "No functional changes" is correct. This is adding
new functionality. It's not just a cosmetic change or code
refactoring.

To set up and run the confidential VMBus, the guest needs the paravisor
to intercept access to some synthetic MSRs. In the non-confidential case,
the guest continues using the vendor-specific guest-host communication
protocol.
Update the hv_set_non_nested_msr() function to trap access to some
synthetic MSRs.

"trap access" is somewhat generic, and it's not clear what the intent is.
I'd suggest something like:
hv_set_non_nested_msr() has special handling for SINT MSRs
when a paravisor is present. In addition to updating the MSR on the
host, the mirror MSR in the paravisor is updated, including with the
proxy bit. But with Confidential VMBus, the proxy bit must not be
used, so add a special case to skip it.

It seems a bit inconsistent to have this particular MSR treated as
a special case in the generic code path, when the new functions
hv_para_get/set_synic_register() have been introduced to handle
the unique requirements of Confidential VMBus. This MSR is set
only in vmbus_signal_eom(), so maybe vmbus_signal_eom()
should test for confidential VM, and call hv_para_set_synic_register()
instead?

Support for the confidential VMBus requires using SynIC message
and event pages shared with the host and separate ones accessible
only to the paravisor.
Rename the host-accessible SynIC message and event pages to be
able to add the paravisor ones. No functional changes. The field
name is also changed in mshv_root.* for consistency.

Slight tweak -- tie this to having two SynICs:
Confidential VMBus requires interacting with two SynICs -- one
provided by the host hypervisor, and one provided by the paravisor.
Each SynIC requires its own message and event pages.

Rename the existing host-accessible SynIC message and event pages
with the "hyp_" prefix to clearly distinguish them from the paravisor
ones. The field name is also changed in mshv_root.* for consistency.
No functional change.

The paravisor needs the SynIC pages to communicate with the guest
via the confidential VMBus.
Refactor and extaned the exisitng code to account for that.

Suggest adding a bit more context to the commit message:
Confidential VMBus requires interacting with two SynICs -- one
provided by the host hypervisor, and one provided by the paravisor.
Each SynIC requires its own message and event pages.
Refactor and extend the existing code to add allocating and freeing
the message and event pages for the paravisor SynIC when it is
present.

Why have a "cpu" argument to this function? It's not used anywhere.

Don't need a blank line here.

The "when allocating the page" portion of the above message is somewhat redundant.
Compare with the similar message in hv_free_page().

I don't think the page should be freed here. When set_memory_decrypted() fails, the
encryption state of the memory is unknown, so it should not be put back on the free list.
It's the same situation as in hv_free_page().

Shouldn't the "decrypt" parameter just always be passed as "false"? That's the
fundamental tenet of Confidential VMBus -- these pages should not be decrypted.

Refactoring this function with the hv_alloc_page() helper function works out
very nicely! The code is simpler and the error handling is much easier to get right.

As with hv_synic_alloc(), for these two calls, always "false" for the "encrypt"

This comment isn't quite accurate. The hypervisor SynIC and its message/event
pages are used in today's CoCo VMs (without Confidential VMBus) where the host
partition and hypervisor are not trusted. The guest must be prepared for malicious
behavior by the SynIC, but that doesn't prevent today's CoCo VMs from providing
the intended confidentiality.

When the confidential VMBus is available, the guest should post
messages via the paravisor.
Update hv_post_message() to request posting messages from the paravisor
rather than through GHCB or TD calls.

"via the paravisor"? I'm not sure what "from the paravisor" means. And

Does this change make post_msg_page unnecessary when Confidential
VMBus is present? When using Confidential VMBus, the code path will be
to use a normal hypercall, which will go to the paravisor, and hence
doesn't need decrypted memory.
If my thinking is correct, the code in hv_synic_alloc() could be updated to
not allocate post_msg_page when vmbus_is_confidential().

It might happen that some hyp SynIC pages aren't IO mapped.
Use memunmap() that checks for that and only then calls iounmap()

I'm concerned by the lack of symmetry in using io_remap_cache()
to do the mapping, and then memunmap() to remove it. The issue
is presumably that hyp_synic_[message/event]_page might be NULL?
Or is there some other case? But I'm thinking it would be better to
explicitly test for NULL and only call iounmap() if non-NULL. Then there's
no dependence on the implementation of memumap().
Not doing the explicit test for NULL actually caused the problem in
the first place. When the paravisor and root partition code was
introduced, iounmap() did a test and just returned, so everything
worked. Then commit 50c6dbdfd16e was added in the 6.12 kernel,
and iounmap() started generating a WARN if NULL is passed in.

Rename the functions that enable and disable SynIC with the
hypervisor.

Suggest:
Add the functions for configuring the paravisor SynIC. Update
overall SynIC initialization logic to initialize the SynIC if it is present.
Finally, break out SynIC interrupt enable/disable code into separate
functions so that SynIC interrupts can be enabled/disable via the
paravisor instead of the hypervisor if the paravisor SynIC is present.

This looks like a code cleanup that should be part of Patch 6 of this series.

You added "with the hypervisor" to this comment, but not the similar

It would be nice to have some detailed code comments somewhere
describing how VMBus interrupts work with Confidential VMBus. I
see that the SINT is set in hv_hyperv_synic_enable_regs() by calling
hv_set_msr(). hv_set_msr() in turn has special case code for the
SINT MSRs that write to the hypervisor version of the MSR *and*
the paravisor version of the MSR (but *without* the proxy bit when
VMBus is confidential). Then the code above enables interrupts
via the paravisor if VMBus is confidential, and otherwise via the
hypervisor.
Assuming my description is correct, maybe just writing that down
in a comment somewhere will confirm to later developers of this
code about what is supposed to be happening.

Freeing the para_synic_message_page memory here causes problems if a
CPU is taken offline, then back online. This function gets called when the CPU
goes offline, so the para_synic_message_page and para_synic_event_page
memory is freed. Then if the CPU comes back online,
hv_para_synic_enable_regs() runs without the memory being allocated
again.
Be sure to test the CPU offlining/onlining scenario to make sure it
works throughout the stack, including the paravisor.

The ordering of the interrupt handling here is a bit scary to me, but maybe
it's right. hv_hyp_synic_disable_regs() first masks the SINT, and because it's
a SINT MSR, it does so first in the hypervisor and then in the paravisor.
Then hv_para_synic_disable_regs() resets the SIMP and SIEFP. Finally
hv_para_synic_disable_interrupts() does a global interrupt disable via
the paravisor. I worry about there being gaps between steps where bad
things can happen. Might want to confirm with the hypervisor and
paravisor folks.
When VMBus is not confidential, the sequencing is the same as it is
now, which is good. There's presumably no reason to change that.
This is another aspect of my earlier comment about adding comments
that clearly describe how interrupts are to be setup/disabled when both
SynICs are present.

The wording in the comment seems a little weird since the code below isn't setting
the "decrypted" flag. Perhaps:
The "decrypted" flag being true assumes that set_memory_decrypted() succeeds.
But if it fails, the encryption state of the memory is unknown. In that case, leave
"decrypted" as true to ensure the memory is leaked instead of going back on the
free list.

This return is leaking the "msginfo" memory and any "submsginfo" memory that
was allocated by create_gpadl_header(). It looks like that leak is present in the
existing code as well.

There's still a problem here. If VMBus is Confidential, then the buffer memory remains
encrypted. Then later in __vmbus_establish_gpadl() if we get to the "cleanup:" label
with ret != 0 due to some error along the way, set_memory_encrypted() is called on
memory that is already encrypted. That should not be done as
set_memory_encrypted/decrypted() are not idempotent.

To run a confidential VMBus channels, one has to initialize the
co_ring_buffers and co_external_memory fields of the channel
structure.
Advertise support upon negoatiating the version and compute
values for those fields and initialize them.

Use the local variable co_external_memory instead of the function, like with co_ring_buffer?
Consistency .... :-)

The test for valid vmbus_proto_version and VMBus being confidential is duplicated. You
could do:
if (co_ring_buffer || co_external_memory)
and have just one copy of the tests. Also I'd suggest adding an error message like
with the "vmbus_is_valid_offer()" test at the start of vmbus_onoffer(). That way
incoming offers aren't silently ignored. Something is wrong on the paravisor or
host side if the tests fail.
Also, since the combination where co_external_memory = true and
co_ring_buffer = false is not allowed, perhaps a check for that invalid
combination should be made here as well.

To establish the confidential VMBus connection the CoCo VM guest
first attempts to connect to the VMBus server run by the paravisor.
If that fails, the guest falls back to the non-confidential VMBus.
Implement that in the VMBus driver initialization.

The hv_cpu parameter to this function isn't used. Couldn't it be removed? Perhaps there's a
case for making the function API more parallel to vmbus_message_sched(), but in my judgment
that's not enough value to warrant passing an unneeded parameter.

I'd put this comment in vmbus_chan_sched() just before the "for_each_set_bit()"
loop. That's the loop that is doing the scanning.

There's a subtle problem here. As soon as the lock is released, there could be
vCPUs that start coming online (started by the udev daemon), and running
hv_synic_init(). My assumption is that hv_synic_init() might fail if this invocation
of vmbus_alloc_synic_and_connect() is trying to determine if Confidential VMBus
is supported. A failure will abort the new CPU coming online. That suggests that
hv_synic_init() should not return an error in the case where initializing the paravisor
SynIC doesn't work.

When doing vmbus_alloc_synic_and_connect() the first time with "is_confidential"
set to "true", where exactly does the failure occur if the paravisor doesn't support
Confidential VMBus? Since your patches add machinery to detect MSR accesses
against the paravisor that fail, I'm presuming hv_synic_init() will fail for all vCPUs.
But the error return from hv_synic_init() isn't checked (except as I mentioned above
for cpuhp_setup_state). So evidently the failure is detected in vmbus_connect() when
vmbus_negotiate_version() sends the INITIATE_CONTACT message. And presumably
sending the message fails because there's no way to wait for a failure response since
the SynICs didn't initialized. So is it the HV_POST_MESSAGE hypercall that is the
exact point of failure, and if so, what error status is returned? It looks like
vmbus_post_msg() would output an error message. Or is there some other failure
point that I'm missing?
I ask because there's a lot of work done before the failure is detected. Each
vCPU must try to initialize their paravisor SynIC and fail. Then each CPU does
hv_synic_cleanup() as part of cpuhp_remove_state(). Workqueues are created
in vmbus_connect(), and memory is allocated, all of which must be cleaned
up. Then everything is retried with "is_confidential" set to "false". Do you have
any sense of how much elapsed time it takes to get the initial failure and then
cleanup? Consider the case with a large number of vCPUs, all of which must
run hv_synic_init() and then hv_synic_cleanup(). See commit 87c9741a38c4
where this elapsed time was a concern in large VMs.
Can the failure be detected earlier by doing a simple MSR read against
the paravisor for an MSR that's only available if Confidential VMBus is
implemented? Then "is _confidential" could be set correctly before
all the work is done, and the work would only be done once even
if Confidential VMBus isn't supported.

I still have a fairly fundamental question about the value proposition.
The paravisor runs as part of the VM context and so is outside the host.
It should not trust the host any more than the guest does. For operations
that require the host, such as doing disk I/O, does the paravisor provide
any security benefit over the guest just talking directly to the host? Relying
on the paravisor is great, but doesn't that just push the problem from the
guest to the paravisor, which is no better equipped to solve it than the guest?
That's what I'm trying to get clear on.

I have fully reviewed v3 and am sending comments on most of the
individual patches. The split into more granular patches works really
well and was a big help in doing the review. I did not have comments
on a couple of the patches, but I have not given my Reviewed-by yet,
pending resolution of the other issues I've pointed out.
