Subject: [PATCH v2 5/5] x86/virt/tdx: Add TDX memory reset notifier to reset other private pages
TL;DR:
To cover both normal kexec and crash kexec, add a TDX specific memory
reset notifier to let "in-kernel TDX users" use their own way to convert
TDX private pages (that they manage respectively) in tdx_reset_memory().
Long version:
On the platforms with TDX "partial write machine check" erratum, during
kexec, the kernel needs to convert TDX private memory back to normal
before jumping to the second kernel to avoid the second kernel seeing
potential machine check.
For now tdx_reset_memory() only resets PAMT pages. KVM will be the
first in-kernel TDX user to support running TDX guests, and by then
other TDX private pages will start to exist. They need to be covered
too.
Currently the kernel doesn't have a unified way to tell whether a given
page is TDX private page or not. One choice is to add such unified way,
and there are couple of options to do it:
1) Use a bitmap, or Xarray, etc to track TDX private page for all PFNs;
2) Use a "software-only" bit in the direct-mapping PTE to mark a given
page is TDX private page;
3) Use a new flag in 'struct page' to mark TDX private page;
4) ... potential other ways.
Option 1) consumes additional memory. E.g., if using bitmap, the
overhead is "number of total RAM pages / 8" bytes.
Option 2) would cause splitting large-page mapping to 4K mapping in the
direct mapping when one page is allocated as TDX private page, and cause
additional TLB flush etc. It's not ideal for such use case.
Option 3) apparently contradicts to the effort to reduce the use of the
flags of 'struct page'.
None of above is ideal.
Therefore, instead of providing a unified way to tell whether a given
page is TDX private page or not, leave "resetting TDX private pages" to
the "in-kernel user" of TDX.
This is motivated by the fact that KVM is already maintaining an Xarray
to track "memory attributes (e.g., private or shared)" for each GFN for
each guest. Thus KVM can use its own way to find all TDX private pages
that it manages and convert them back to normal.
For the normal kexec the reboot notifier could be used, but it doesn't
cover the cash kexec.
Add a TDX specific memory reset notifier to achieve this. The in-kernel
TDX users will need to register their own notifiers to reset TDX private
pages. Call these notifiers in tdx_reset_memory() right before
resetting PAMT pages.
KVM will be the first user of this notifier. Export the "register" and
"unregister" APIs for KVM to use.
