Subject: [PATCH v4 0/9] mshv: add SEV-SNP support for MSHV root partitions
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 11:26:38 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260831112704.2851147-1-weh@linux.microsoft.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260825040505.826600-1-weh@linux.microsoft.com>

This series adds support for creating and managing AMD SEV-SNP
confidential virtual machines through the Microsoft Hypervisor root
partition driver.

The series adds fixed-size MSHV UAPI definitions, the required Microsoft
Hypervisor ABI definitions and hypercall helpers, partition ioctls,
capability discovery, processor-feature handling, ordered encrypted-memory
teardown, and nested-root SynIC handling.

Two prerequisite fixes now lead the series. The first makes memory-region
unmap ownership explicit and retains mappings, pinned pages, the partition,
and the module whenever checked hypervisor unmap cannot prove cleanup. The
second publishes and withdraws per-CPU SynIC pointers so interrupt readers
cannot observe mappings after initialization failure or CPU teardown.

The patches are based on the current hyperv-next branch.

Testing:

  - Built all four affected x86 MSHV objects at every commit.
  - Built the complete x86_64 kernel and the affected objects with W=1.
  - Ran scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict on every patch with zero findings.
  - Verified installed UAPI layouts in 64-bit and 32-bit userspace builds.
  - Generated rust-vmm MSHV bindings from the installed kernel headers.
  - Built the affected ARM64 objects with W=1 and no warnings.
  - Passed Cloud Hypervisor's common_cvm::test_focal_simple_launch.
  - Booted a four-vCPU SEV-SNP guest to login.

The development host needs two additional local runtime patches to boot
as a nested MSHV root partition: EFI HvLoader root-partition boot
enablement and the non-upstreamable nested-VMBus interrupt-vector
workaround. Neither patch is part of this series.

Changes since v3:

  - Add checked memory-region unmap ownership as prerequisite patch 1. Keep
    pages pinned and quarantine uncertain setup or teardown instead of
    freeing memory that may remain child-accessible.
  - Add SynIC pointer publication/withdrawal cleanup as prerequisite
    patch 2.
  - Rate-limit guest-triggerable PSP and isolated-page hypercall errors.
  - Publish and consume driver readiness with release/acquire ordering.
  - Make both array ioctls _IOWR interfaces with an MBZ input/completed
    output
    field, exact resumable progress, and defined no-rollback semantics.
  - Preserve the exact asynchronous completion result, encode only bounded
    repetition progress, and keep the distinct substatus out of result
    bits.
  - Check setup, explicit unmap, and teardown transitions; preserve list
    and
    kref ownership and quarantine any state whose safe release is
    uncertain.
  - Unmap child mappings before restoring host access for uninitialized as
    well as initialized SNP partitions.
  - Map hypervisor SynIC pages as decrypted shared-GPA mappings and
    withdraw
    per-CPU pointers before unmapping or freeing them.
  - Validate VMSA and PSP GPAs before PFN conversion and retain the
    existing
    large-page alignment and physical-contiguity checks.
  - Reject SNP isolation in intermediate commits until its complete ioctl
    and
    lifecycle implementation is present.
  - Guard the SNP-only GPFN conversion helper so ARM64 W=1 builds do not
    emit
    an unused-function warning.
  - Resolve additional adversarial-review findings: initialize common
    region
    locks for every region type, avoid mmap/remap lock inversion, validate
    zero/oversized REP progress, and initialize all common copyout paths.

Two Sashiko findings were investigated and dismissed rather than papered
over.
Hyper-V consumes the PSP request input synchronously before returning
HV_STATUS_CALL_PENDING, so the shared per-CPU input page need not remain
reserved while waiting for completion. Also, MSHV's modify-SPA-host-access
operation transfers root-to-child SPA/SLAT ownership in Hyper-V; it does
not
perform an in-place SNP RMP transition on Linux-owned direct-map pages, so
kernel direct-map invalidation, encryption-attribute changes, and
shared-bit
rewrites would be incorrect here.
