Subject: [PATCH v9 4/6] x86/coco: Add cc_decrypted_alloc/free() interfaces
Confidential computing platforms, such as AMD SEV and Intel TDX,
protect memory from VMM access. Any memory that is required for
communication with the VMM must be explicitly shared. It involves
adjusting page table entries to indicate that the memory is shared and
notifies VMM about the change.
set_memory_decrypted() converts memory to shared. Before freeing
memory it has to be converted back with set_memory_encrypted().
The interface works fine for long-term allocations, but for frequent
short-lived allocations it causes problems. Conversion takes time and
direct mapping modification leads to its fracturing and performance
degradation over time.
Direct mapping modifications can be avoided by creating a vmap that
maps allocated pages as shared while direct mapping is untouched.
But having private mapping of a shared memory causes problems too.
Any access of such memory via private mapping in TDX guest would
trigger unrecoverable SEPT violation and termination of the virtual
machine. It is known that load_unaligned_zeropad() can issue such
unwanted loads across page boundaries that can trigger the issue.
It can also be fixed by allocating a guard page in front of any memory
that has to be converted to shared, so load_unaligned_zeropad() will
roll off to the guard page instead. But it is wasteful and does not
address cost of the memory conversion.
The next logical step is to introduce a pool of shared memory that can
share a single guard page and makes conversion less frequent.
Fortunately, the kernel already has such a pool of memory: SWIOTLB
buffer is used by the DMA API to allocate memory for I/O. The buffer is
allocated once during the boot, so direct mapping fracturing is not an
issue and no need for vmap tricks.
Tapping into the SWIOTLB pool requires a device structure and using DMA
API. Provide a couple of simple helpers to allocate and free shared
memory that hide required plumbing.
