Wouldn't it be more appropriate to use something the PSP can't return, e.g. -1?
'0' is SEV_RET_SUCCESS, which is quite misleading, e.g. the below error message
will print
SEV: failed to INIT error 0, rc -16
which a bit head scratching without looking at the code. AFAICT, the PSP return
codes aren't intrinsically hex, so printing error as a signed demical and thus
SEV: failed to INIT error -1, rc -16
would be less confusing.
And IMO requiring the caller to initialize error is will be neverending game of
whack-a-mole. E.g. sev_ioctl() fails to set "error" in the userspace structure,
and literally every function exposed via include/linux/psp-sev.h has this same
issue. Case in point, the retry path fails to re-initialize "error" and will
display stale information if the second sev_platform_init() fails without reaching
the PSP.
rc = sev_platform_init(&error);
if (rc && (error == SEV_RET_SECURE_DATA_INVALID)) {
/*
* INIT command returned an integrity check failure
* status code, meaning that firmware load and
* validation of SEV related persistent data has
* failed and persistent state has been erased.
* Retrying INIT command here should succeed.
*/
dev_dbg(sev->dev, "SEV: retrying INIT command");
rc = sev_platform_init(&error); <------ error may or may not be set
}
Ideally, error wouldn't be an output param and instead would be squished into the
true return value, but that'd required quite the refactoring, and might yield ugly
code generation on non-64-bit architectures (does this code support those?).
As a minimal step toward sanity, sev_ioctl(), __sev_platform_init_locked(), and
__sev_do_cmd_locked() should initialize the incoming error. Long term, sev-dev
really needs to either have well-defined API for when "error" is meaningful, or
ensure the pointer is initialized in all paths.
