[PATCH] x86/sev: Add SEV-SNP guest feature negotiation support

[PATCH] x86/sev: Add SEV-SNP guest feature negotiation support

[Nikunj A Dadhania]

SEV_STATUS indicates features that hypervisor has enabled. Guest
kernel may not support all the features that the hypervisor has
enabled. If the hypervisor has enabled an unsupported feature,
notify the hypervisor and terminate the boot.

This sentence needs expanding: why is the policy of the guest kernel
such that it must terminate if the hypervisor has enabled unsupported
features?

You allude to that in the comments below but this needs to be explained
here too.

It seems like you're new to this kernel hacking business - please
remember that it is absolutely mandatory that patches must be properly
tested before sending them upstream.

So I don't like this:

if you're going to enforce those bits, shouldn't that enforcement happen
after *all* those above have been added to the kernel first?

Because right now it will be dead code.

So what's the actual purpose of this patch?

The reserved bits 13 and 15 trivially belong here already no?

And I don't like that AVAILABLE thing either. I think this all should be
concentrated in this single function snp_guest_feature_supported() - it
should be called

snp_guest_supports_all_required_features()

or so, so that the name says what it does and there you can pick those
apart and say yes or no at the end.

I'm also not sure you need each single bit defined separately but rather
test a mask instead first.

Also, having "_ENABLED" at the end of each bit name is too much - the
name is enough.

My bad, was on a separate tree and missed to test it on latest.

Not all feature need guest kernel support so I did not use mask, so added all 
the known bit fields that are published in the APM.

Purpose of this patch is older guests kernel that have SNP enabled (5.19 onward), 
when a particular SNP feature is enabled by the hypervisor that needs enlightened guest, 
older kernel wont be able to support the feature. There is no mechanism that the hypervisor 
can find out what feature is supported by the SNP guest before hand.

For example PREVENT_HOST_IBS needs changes on hypervisor and no changes in the 
guest kernel. In this any guest kernel having SNP support should work.

While for SECURE_TSC, hypervisor and guest kernel changes are required. And older guest 
kernel will not work if hypervisor enables Secure TSC. When secure tsc feature is enabled
following define should be changed:

As they are undefined feature bits, we do not know if it needs enlightened guest, can't add here.

Will removed _ENABLED, kept it for consistency of previous defines MSR_AMD64_SEV_ENABLED, etc.

This all is still veiled in mist to me. What are you trying to do here?

- Make sure older SNP guests boot on newer hypervisors?

- Newer guests boot on older hypervisors?

So, first, pls explain in detail what the goal here is.

I'm reading the above in multiple ways so you need to spell out first
what you wanna do.

PREVENT_HOST_IBS doesn't need any enablement. So why is it in the mask?

SECURE_TSC needs enablement on both. Why aren't you checking only this
one.

IOW, I would expect to check *only* for features which the guest needs
for the hypervisor to support before it boots. But not check everything
wholesale.

IOW, I see it this way: guest boots, sees what the hypervisor has
enabled as SEV_STATUS cannot be intercepted and acts accordingly.

Now, the question how *old* guests should act here is a whole different
story as it depends on whether this gets backported to old guests -
which doesn't make them old anymore as the checking will happen - or to
really old guests without the checking. There it doesn't matter.

And come to think of it, this whole deal is no different than having
feature bits in CPUID and the kernel implementing them.

If the kernel finds a feature bit set in CPUID, it enables the
corresponding code. If it doesn't know about it, then it doesn't do
anything.

Pretty much the same here: if a SNP guest finds a feature flag in
SEV_STATUS, then it enables the code corresponding to it. If it doesn't
find it but it needs it due to enablement, then it stops booting.

So let's define the problem first.

Thx.

Yes and No.

Yes: For feature flags that do not need an enlightened guest, older guests should 
     boot.

No: For feature flags that need an enlightened guest, older guests should detect 
    and fail booting on any hypervisor that sets this feature flag. 

> - Newer guests boot on older hypervisors?

Yes, as the older hypervisor won't enable the new SNP feature flag.

> So, first, pls explain in detail what the goal here is.

The hypervisor can enable various new features flags(in SEV_FEATURES[1:63]) 
and start the guest. The hypervisor does not know beforehand that the guest 
kernel supports the feature that is being enabled.

While booting, SNP guests can discover the hypervisor-enabled features by looking 
at SEV_STATUS MSR. At this point, the SNP guest needs to decide either to 
continue boot or terminate depending on the feature support in the guest kernel.
Otherwise, if we let the guest continue booting with an unsupported feature, 
the guest can fail in non-obvious manner. 

* Primary goal here is to detect such unsupported features beforehand and 
  deterministically terminate the guest.
* Secondary goal is to use this mechanism to future-proof the current guests 
  for newer reserved features flags that may be defined later.

Here is the support matrix per feature that can explain better:

HypervisorEnabled: Feature bit is enabled in SEV_FEATURES
Required: Feature requires enlightened guest
Available: The guest is enlightened for that particular feature.
Boot: The expected behavior of the guest, whether it should boot or fail.

+-------------------+----------+-------------+----------+
| HypervisorEnabled | Required | Available   |   Boot   |
+-------------------+----------+-------------+----------+
| Y                 |  Y       |  N          | N (Fail) |
| Y                 |  Y       |  Y          | Y        |
| Y                 |  N       |  N          | Y        |

PREVENT_HOST_IBS will be defined but shouldn't be part of the 
"Required" mask.

SECURE_TSC should be part of "Required" mask and once secure tsc 
support is up-streamed it should be added to "Available" mask.

Guests need to check for features enabled by the hypervisor that is not 
supported as well, so that we can terminate the guest right there.

Old guests with backport will deny booting with unsupported features.

It does matter for old guests which dont have backport, the behavior will 
be undefined.

Hence fix needs to be back ported till 5.19, where SNP guest support was added.

This is the good case, where the feature flag is enabled and the guest 
kernel has support for the feature. This should boot fine.

Second Case which we are handling in this patch: SNP guest finds the 
feature flag enabled, but it does not have code corresponding to that 
feature. The guest boot should *fail*.

Above is the third case: where the SNP guest does not see the feature flag 
enabled and the  guest should boot fine irrespective of whether it is enlightened 
or not.

What would happen with such old guests nowadays? Wouldn't they explode
anyway?

And how is this supposed to work in practice?

I'm guessing this is supposed to address a case where guest owner goes
to a cloud provider, boots an old guest and it magically survives
booting and then it runs with some false sense of security.

But isn't that part of the whole attestation dance where the guest owner
checks for a minimum set of features it expects to be present?

Because if you do this and the cloud provider updates the hypervisor,
all the guest owner images might stop working all of a sudden because of
this check.

So what is the actual, real-life example where this helps? At all?

This is not the right criterion: it should be more like: can a guest
still continue booting with a new feature it doesn't know about and
still provide the same security.

But see above - you need to think very practically here before even
considering such a thing.

How can an old guest decide when it doesn't even have the intelligence
to do so?

What you're doing is, have old guests immediately stop booting when they
encounter a new feature - even if that new feature doesn't impair their
security.

This means that you need to know those features which would fail an old
guest *upfront*. Like right now. And I hardly doubt that.

So it doesn't need to be mentioned at all.

So when a guest owner gets a new guest which supports SECURE_TSC and
tries to boot it on an older HV - which is very much pretty everywhere
the case - cloud providers won't update their HV kernel whenever - that
new guest won't boot at all.

Which is a bad bad idea. I don't think you want that.

What you want, rather, is to say in the SECURE_TSC enablement code

	pr_warn("HV doesn't support secure TSC - your guest won't be 100% secure\n");

or so.

> Guests need to check for features enabled by the hypervisor that is not 
> supported as well, so that we can terminate the guest right there.

That needs to be done in the feature enablement code of each feature but
not wholesale like this.

Anyway, I think you get my point.

Hi Boris,

I will work on sending a v2 patch that addresses all your questions/concerns.

Yes, and the patch is to prevent that and fail gracefully and so I had 
CC'ed stable.

A cloud provider having the hypervisor and qemu with Secure TSC support
tries to boot an old guest kernel (v5.19):

"-object sev-snp-guest,...,secure-tsc=on -kernel vmlinuz-5.19.0"

As per the current behavior, the guest kernel will hang.

This patch will make sure that if the hypervisor enables this feature, the 
guest kernel will know early that an unsupported SNP feature is enabled. The guest 
then sends a terminate message to the hypervisor, indicating that its not able
to fulfill hypervisor request to enable SecureTSC and cannot move ahead.

That is indeed the criterion. Hence, instead of allowing the guest to 
continue and have it fail randomly later(which would be a debugging nightmare), 
this is to detect the unsupported feature early and fail gracefully.

A slight correction:
a) If the new feature was enabled by the HV/QEMU.
AND
b) The new feature requires guest enablement

" -object sev-snp-guest,...,secure-tsc=on -kernel vmlinuz-5.19.0 "

And it is not done wholesale.

Yes, we could get rid of defines that do not need to be included in 
required mask.

I think you misunderstood, if the HV does not have Secure TSC and new guest 
has Secure TSC, still the guest should boot. As the hypervisor didnt request 
the feature to be enabled (below row in the table)

+-------------------+----------+-------------+----------+
| HypervisorEnabled | Required | Available   |   Boot   |
