Introduction
------------

Secure AVIC is a new hardware feature in the AMD64 architecture to
allow SEV-SNP guests to prevent the hypervisor from generating
unexpected interrupts to a vCPU or otherwise violate architectural
assumptions around APIC behavior.

One of the significant differences from AVIC or emulated x2APIC is that
Secure AVIC uses a guest-owned and managed APIC backing page. It also
introduces additional fields in both the VMCB and the Secure AVIC backing
page to aid the guest in limiting which interrupt vectors can be injected
into the guest.

Guest APIC Backing Page
-----------------------
Each vCPU has a guest-allocated APIC backing page of size 4K, which
maintains APIC state for that vCPU. The x2APIC MSRs are mapped at
their corresposing x2APIC MMIO offset within the guest APIC backing
page. All x2APIC accesses by guest or Secure AVIC hardware operate
on this backing page. The backing page should be pinned and NPT entry
for it should be always mapped while the corresponding vCPU is running.


MSR Accesses
------------
Secure AVIC only supports x2APIC MSR accesses. xAPIC MMIO offset based
accesses are not supported.

Some of the MSR accesses such as ICR writes (with shorthand equal to
self), SELF_IPI, EOI, TPR writes are accelerated by Secure AVIC
hardware. Other MSR accesses generate a #VC exception. The #VC
exception handler reads/writes to the guest APIC backing page.
As guest APIC backing page is accessible to the guest, the Secure
AVIC driver code optimizes APIC register access by directly
reading/writing to the guest APIC backing page (instead of taking
the #VC exception route).

In addition to the architected MSRs, following new fields are added to
the guest APIC backing page which can be modified directly by the
guest:

a. ALLOWED_IRR

ALLOWED_IRR reg offset indicates the interrupt vectors which the guest
allows the hypervisor to send. The combination of host-controlled
REQUESTED_IRR vectors (part of VMCB) and ALLOWED_IRR is used by
hardware to update the IRR vectors of the Guest APIC backing page.

#Offset        #bits        Description
204h           31:0         Guest allowed vectors 0-31
214h           31:0         Guest allowed vectors 32-63
...
274h           31:0         Guest allowed vectors 224-255

ALLOWED_IRR is meant to be used specifically for vectors that the
hypervisor is allowed to inject, such as device interrupts.  Interrupt
vectors used exclusively by the guest itself (like IPI vectors) should
not be allowed to be injected into the guest for security reasons.

b. NMI Request
 
#Offset        #bits        Description
278h           0            Set by Guest to request Virtual NMI

Guest need to set NMI Request register to allow the Hypervisor to
inject vNMI to it.

LAPIC Timer Support
-------------------
LAPIC timer is emulated by the hypervisor. So, APIC_LVTT, APIC_TMICT and
APIC_TDCR, APIC_TMCCT APIC registers are not read/written to the guest
APIC backing page and are communicated to the hypervisor using SVM_EXIT_MSR
VMGEXIT. 

IPI Support
-----------
Only SELF_IPI is accelerated by Secure AVIC hardware. Other IPIs require
writing (from the Secure AVIC driver) to the IRR vector of the target CPU
backing page and then issuing VMGEXIT for the hypervisor to notify the
target vCPU.

KEXEC Support
-------------
Secure AVIC enabled guest can kexec to another kernel which has Secure
AVIC enabled, as the Hypervisor has Secure AVIC feature bit set in the
sev_status.

Open Points
-----------

The Secure AVIC driver only supports physical destination mode. If
logical destination mode need to be supported, then a separate x2apic
driver would be required for supporting logical destination mode.


Testing
-------

This series is based on top of v6.17-rc1.

Host Secure AVIC support patch series is at [1].

Qemu support patch is at [2].

QEMU commandline for testing Secure AVIC enabled guest:

qemu-system-x86_64 <...> -object sev-snp-guest,id=sev0,policy=0xb0000,cbitpos=51,
reduced-phys-bits=1,allowed-sev-features=true,secure-avic=true

Following tests are done:

1) Boot to Prompt using initramfs and ubuntu fs.
2) Verified timer and IPI as part of the guest bootup.
3) Verified long run SCF TORTURE IPI test.
