[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [PATCH 3/8] x86/svm: VMEntry/Exit logic for MSR_SPEC_CTRL
Hardware maintains both host and guest versions of MSR_SPEC_CTRL, but guests
run with the logical OR of both values. Therefore, in principle we want to
clear Xen's value before entering the guest. However, for migration
compatibiltiy, and for performance reasons with SEV-SNP guests, we want the
ability to use a nonzero value behind the guest's back. Use vcpu_msrs to hold
this value, with the guest value in the VMCB.
On the VMEntry path, adjusting MSR_SPEC_CTRL must be done after CLGI so as to
be atomic with respect to NMIs/etc. The loading of spec_ctrl_raw into %eax
was also stale from the unused old code, so can be dropped too.
Implement both pieces of logic as small pieces of C, and alternative the call
to get there based on X86_FEATURE_SC_MSR_HVM. While adjusting the clobber
lists, drop the stale requirements on the VMExit side.
The common case is that host and "guest-protection" values are both 0, so
maintain a per-cpu last_spec_ctrl value to allow us to skip redundant WRMSRs.
The value needs to live in the cpu_info block for subsequent use with PV
guests, and compatibility with XPTI.

Several points:
1) It would be slightly more efficient to pass curr and cpu_info into
vm{entry,exit}_spec_ctrl(), but setup of such state can't be in the
ALTERNATIVE block because then the call displacement won't get fixed up.
All the additional accesses are hot off the stack, so almost certainly
negligible compared to the WRMSR.
2) The RAS[:32] flushing side effect is under reconsideration. It is actually
a very awkward side effect in practice, and not applicable to any
implementations (that I'm aware of), but for now, it's the documented safe
action to take. Furthermore, it avoids complicating the logic with an
lfence in the else case for Spectre v1 safety.
