KVM: SVM: Add support for booting APs in an SEV-ES guest
Typically under KVM, an AP is booted using the INIT-SIPI-SIPI sequence,
where the guest vCPU register state is updated and then the vCPU is VMRUN
to begin execution of the AP. For an SEV-ES guest, this won't work because
the guest register state is encrypted.
Following the GHCB specification, the hypervisor must not alter the guest
register state, so KVM must track an AP/vCPU boot. Should the guest want
to park the AP, it must use the AP Reset Hold exit event in place of, for
example, a HLT loop.
First AP boot (first INIT-SIPI-SIPI sequence):
Execute the AP (vCPU) as it was initialized and measured by the SEV-ES
support. It is up to the guest to transfer control of the AP to the
proper location.
Subsequent AP boot:
KVM will expect to receive an AP Reset Hold exit event indicating that
the vCPU is being parked and will require an INIT-SIPI-SIPI sequence to
awaken it. When the AP Reset Hold exit event is received, KVM will place
the vCPU into a simulated HLT mode. Upon receiving the INIT-SIPI-SIPI
sequence, KVM will make the vCPU runnable. It is again up to the guest
to then transfer control of the AP to the proper location.
To differentiate between an actual HLT and an AP Reset Hold, a new MP
state is introduced, KVM_MP_STATE_AP_RESET_HOLD, which the vCPU is
placed in upon receiving the AP Reset Hold exit event. Additionally, to
communicate the AP Reset Hold exit event up to userspace (if needed), a
new exit reason is introduced, KVM_EXIT_AP_RESET_HOLD.
A new x86 ops function is introduced, vcpu_deliver_sipi_vector, in order
to accomplish AP booting. For VMX, vcpu_deliver_sipi_vector is set to the
original SIPI delivery function, kvm_vcpu_deliver_sipi_vector(). SVM adds
a new function that, for non SEV-ES guests, invokes the original SIPI
delivery function, kvm_vcpu_deliver_sipi_vector(), but for SEV-ES guests,
implements the logic above.
