[PATCH v7 00/36] x86: Secure Memory Encryption (AMD)

This patch series provides support for AMD's new Secure Memory Encryption (SME)
feature.

SME can be used to mark individual pages of memory as encrypted through the
page tables. A page of memory that is marked encrypted will be automatically
decrypted when read from DRAM and will be automatically encrypted when
written to DRAM. Details on SME can found in the links below.

The SME feature is identified through a CPUID function and enabled through
the SYSCFG MSR. Once enabled, page table entries will determine how the
memory is accessed. If a page table entry has the memory encryption mask set,
then that memory will be accessed as encrypted memory. The memory encryption
mask (as well as other related information) is determined from settings
returned through the same CPUID function that identifies the presence of the
feature.

The approach that this patch series takes is to encrypt everything possible
starting early in the boot where the kernel is encrypted. Using the page
table macros the encryption mask can be incorporated into all page table
entries and page allocations. By updating the protection map, userspace
allocations are also marked encrypted. Certain data must be accounted for
as having been placed in memory before SME was enabled (EFI, initrd, etc.)
and accessed accordingly.

This patch series is a pre-cursor to another AMD processor feature called
Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV). The support for SEV will build upon
the SME support and will be submitted later. Details on SEV can be found
in the links below.

This patch series is based off of the master branch of tip:
  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git master

  Commit 3d55328fd1f8 ("Merge branch 'WIP.x86/fpu'")

Source code is also available at https://github.com/codomania/tip/tree/sme-v7


Still to do:
- Kdump support, including using memremap() instead of ioremap_cache()

Changes since v6:
- Fixed the asm include file issue that caused build errors on other archs
- Rebased the CR3 register changes on top of Andy Lutomirski's patch
- Added a patch to clear the SME cpu feature if running as a PV guest under
  Xen
- Added a patch to obtain the AMD microcode level earlier in the boot
  instead of directly reading the MSR
- Refactor patch #8 ("x86/mm: Add support to enable SME in early boot
  processing") because the 5-level paging support moved the code into the
  new C-function __startup_64()
- Removed need to decrypt trampoline area in-place (set memory attributes
  before copying the trampoline code)
- General code cleanup based on feedback

Changes since v5:
- Added support for 5-level paging
- Added IOMMU support
- Created a generic asm/mem_encrypt.h in order to remove a bunch of
  #ifndef/#define entries
- Removed changes to the __va() macro and defined a function to return
  the true physical address in cr3
- Removed sysfs support as it was determined not to be needed
- General code cleanup based on feedback
- General cleanup of patch subjects and descriptions

Changes since v4:
- Re-worked mapping of setup data to not use a fixed list. Rather, check
  dynamically whether the requested early_memremap()/memremap() call
  needs to be mapped decrypted.
- Moved SME cpu feature into scattered features
- Moved some declarations into header files
- Cleared the encryption mask from the __PHYSICAL_MASK so that users
  of macros such as pmd_pfn_mask() don't have to worry/know about the
  encryption mask
- Updated some return types and values related to EFI and e820 functions
  so that an error could be returned
- During cpu shutdown, removed cache disabling and added a check for kexec
  in progress to use wbinvd followed immediately by halt in order to avoid
  any memory corruption
- Update how persistent memory is identified
- Added a function to find command line arguments and their values
- Added sysfs support
- General code cleanup based on feedback
- General cleanup of patch subjects and descriptions


Changes since v3:
- Broke out some of the patches into smaller individual patches
- Updated Documentation
- Added a message to indicate why the IOMMU was disabled
- Updated CPU feature support for SME by taking into account whether
  BIOS has enabled SME
- Eliminated redundant functions
- Added some warning messages for DMA usage of bounce buffers when SME
  is active
- Added support for persistent memory
- Added support to determine when setup data is being mapped and be sure
  to map it un-encrypted
- Added CONFIG support to set the default action of whether to activate
  SME if it is supported/enabled
- Added support for (re)booting with kexec

Changes since v2:
- Updated Documentation
- Make the encryption mask available outside of arch/x86 through a
  standard include file
- Conversion of assembler routines to C where possible (not everything
  could be converted, e.g. the routine that does the actual encryption
  needs to be copied into a safe location and it is difficult to
  determine the actual length of the function in order to copy it)
- Fix SME feature use of scattered CPUID feature
- Creation of SME specific functions for things like encrypting
  the setup data, ramdisk, etc.
- New take on early_memremap / memremap encryption support
- Additional support for accessing video buffers (fbdev/gpu) as
  un-encrypted
- Disable IOMMU for now - need to investigate further in relation to
  how it needs to be programmed relative to accessing physical memory

Changes since v1:
- Added Documentation.
- Removed AMD vendor check for setting the PAT write protect mode
- Updated naming of trampoline flag for SME as well as moving of the
  SME check to before paging is enabled.
- Change to early_memremap to identify the data being mapped as either
  boot data or kernel data.  The idea being that boot data will have
  been placed in memory as un-encrypted data and would need to be accessed
  as such.
- Updated debugfs support for the bootparams to access the data properly.
- Do not set the SYSCFG[MEME] bit, only check it.  The setting of the
  MemEncryptionModeEn bit results in a reduction of physical address size
  of the processor.  It is possible that BIOS could have configured resources
  resources into a range that will now not be addressable.  To prevent this,
  rely on BIOS to set the SYSCFG[MEME] bit and only then enable memory
  encryption support in the kernel.
