[RFC PATCH] x86/insn: support decode MOVSXD instruction for MMIO

[Wu Zongyong]

It seems MOVSXD which opcode is 0x63 is not handled, support
to decode it in insn_decode_mmio().

Aren't there some caveats to worry about with this instruction based on 
the presence of the REX prefix 64-bit operand size bit? Sometimes it can 
be a sign extended and sometimes it can be a zero extended.

Thanks,

To be honest, I don't find a specific user which uses the MOVSXD.

But both Intel and AMD's instructions reference contains MOVSXD and lots
of MOVSXD instructions occur when I "objdump -S vmlinux", so I think it
may be useful to support it in insn_decode_mmio().

Are there some special consideration about this instruction?

It is a sign-extending memory read (32bit to 64bit).
You pretty much never want to do that to a device register.
Also kernel code should be using readl() (etc) which do
unsigned reads.
So they should never happen for mmio.

Of course, if you mmap() PCIe space directly into a program's
address space anything might happen ...

There are two users of the interface: TDX and SEV. TDX doesn't allow
userspace MMIO. SEV *seems* allows it, but I am not sure how it is safe.

The insn_decode_mmio() function is only called by the SEV/TDX related code 
and is specifically MMIO oriented. As David said, this instruction is 
likely not being used for that in the kernel. If we come across a case 
where this is used, we can look at how it is being used in that situation 
and it can be addressed then.

I was asking if SEV supports userspace MMIO. And if yes, how do you make
it safe?

But where do you filter out userspace MMIO? AFAICS, it goes straight from
from #VC to insn_decode_mmio(). Hm?

The userspace mapping would have the encryption bit set and MMIO to 
encrypted memory is detected and not allowed.

Probably by making vm_iomap_memory() fail.

Otherwise MOVSXD is the least of your problems.
You'd need to worry about all the AVX opcodes as well.

Although you might even find kernel code that is using
kernel_fpu_begin/end() to wrap mmio copies that use the
big AVX512 registers.
When each PCIe read takes about 1us (measured into our fpga)
increasing the TLP to 64 bytes (from 8) makes a massive
difference to buffer reads.
(Mostly we try to get the fpga to do writes instead.)

The kernel does not support _arbitrary_ memory access instructions
messing with MMIO.

Before even considering this, I'd want to see a very concrete
explanation for why _this_ instruction in particular is required.  I'd
also want to make sure this doesn't set us off down a slippery slope
trying to make the MMIO decoder more expansive.
