(1) Please split this in two patches -- the PlatformPei changes should
be a separate patch. And, I think those should come second, the
ResetVector + header file change should come first.

(2) Please mention in the commit message (of the ResetVector patch),
and/or a comment here in the code, that SEV-SNP is never enabled if
SEV-ES is disabled.
Section "15.34.10 SEV_STATUS MSR" in the APM (doc#24593 v3.37) does not
spell out this dependency.
Furthermore, the mSevStatus / mSevEsStatus / mSevSnpStatus variable
assignments in patch#2 do not form a "dependency cascade" like the one
seen here in the reset vector code.
While "SEV-ES depends on SEV" seems obvious to me (and so the related,
existent jumps in the assembly code are not surprising), the statement
"SEV-SNP depends on SEV-ES" is not *that* obvious to me. Thus a comment
would be welcome.
For *both* patches split out of this one:

(3) Actually, no.
This patch should be reduced to the following files only:
- OvmfPkg/PlatformPei/AmdSev.c
- OvmfPkg/PlatformPei/PlatformPei.inf
and the following changes should be dropped completely:
- OvmfPkg/Include/Library/MemEncryptSevLib.h
- OvmfPkg/ResetVector/Ia32/PageTables64.asm
- OvmfPkg/ResetVector/ResetVector.nasmb
Specifically, the "SEC_SEV_ES_WORK_AREA.SevSnpEnabled" field should
never be introduced.
The reason is apparent only from patch #10 -- "OvmfPkg/PlatformPei:
register GHCB gpa for the SEV-SNP guest".
The core idea is that in patch#10, in the SEC module, you can implement
SevSnpIsEnabled() by just reading MSR_SEV_STATUS, and checking the SNP
bit. Namely, while the SevSnpIsEnabled() call is made in
SevEsProtocolCheck(), i.e., before exception handling is set up in the
SEC module -- and so you indeed cannot call CPUID --, you don't *have*
to call CPUID at that call site. Where you call SevSnpIsEnabled() in
SevEsProtocolCheck(), you already know that SEV-ES is enabled, so it's
safe to just read the exact same SEV status MSR that the SEV-ES status
comes from in the first place, without any CPUID safety check.
(
General request: please be explicit in the commit messages about the
data flow between modules, and why you are doing what you are doing.
Arriving at the above analysis took me 3+ hours this morning, when --
while reviewing patch#4 -- I took issue with the proliferation of the
new fields in SEC_SEV_ES_WORK_AREA. SEC_SEV_ES_WORK_AREA is *not* a
convenience dump. We should restrict its use as much as possible.
I double-checked how SEC_SEV_ES_WORK_AREA had evolved historically:
* SEC_SEV_ES_WORK_AREA.SevEsEnabled:
1 43c3df78460d OvmfPkg: Reserve a page in memory for the SEV-ES usage
2 0731236fc108 OvmfPkg/PlatformPei: Reserve SEV-ES work area if S3 is supported
3 8a2732186a53 OvmfPkg/ResetVector: Add support for a 32-bit SEV check
4 13e5492bfdf3 OvmfPkg/Sec: Add #VC exception handling for Sec phase
The "SEC_SEV_ES_WORK_AREA.SevEsEnabled" field is important for the
following reason:
- in an SEV-ES guest, just learning about SEV requires exception
handling; thus, the Reset Vector sets up exception handling
*unconditionally*,
- in SEC, we deal with exception handling regardless of SEV-ES, but
*how* we do that is conditional on SEV-ES.
This means that caching the SEV-ES presence from the Reset Vector to
SEC makes a lot of sense. Given that in the Reset Vector we have
unconditional exception handling, and then in SEC we have a cached
result, we are allowed to only have conditional exception handling in
SEC.
* SEC_SEV_ES_WORK_AREA.RandomData, SEC_SEV_ES_WORK_AREA.EncryptionMask:
1 7cb96c47a94e OvmfPkg/ResetVector: Validate the encryption bit position for SEV/SEV-ES
2 bd0c1c8e225b OvmfPkg/ResetVector: Perform a simple SEV-ES sanity check
3 3b32be7e7192 OvmfPkg/ResetVector: Save the encryption mask at boot time
4 b97dc4b92ba1 OvmfPkg/MemEncryptSevLib: Add an interface to retrieve the encryption mask
The "RandomData" and "EncryptionMask" fields in the
SEC_SEV_ES_WORK_AREA structure seem justified because they implement
some serious work (which must be done as early as possible, i.e., in
the Reset Vector), *and* caching the result of that work for the rest
of the firmware saves significant complexity (and the result is
security-related even).
"SEC_SEV_ES_WORK_AREA.SevSnpEnabled" is unlike any of these three
fields.

We must check the SNP Enabled inside the assembly code for the page
invalidate functions, and I decided to cache the value. A similar
SNP-enabled check is required in SEC phase before the
ProcessLibraryConstrctorList() is called. There are two options on how
we can go about doing the SNP enabled check inside the SEC phase
1. Call the SEV_STATUS MSR after reading the
SEC_SEV_ES_WORK_AREA.SevEnabled. As you said, we need to be sure that ES
is enabled before calling the SEV_STATUS MSR.
2. SEV_STATUS MSR is read in Reset vector for the SNP enabled check
purpose. Extend the SevEsWorkArea to cache the state.
I chose #2 because it avoids checking for ES enabled before checking
the SNP enabled. I understand that in the current code path, SNP check
is called inside the SevEsProtocolCheck() -- ES is already enabled, and
its safe to call SEV_STATUS MSR. What if we need to check for the SNP
state outside the ES-specific code block in the future? Then we will
need to extend the SevEsWorkArea. So I went ahead with option #2. I have
no problem reverting to option #1 and simplify the patch. I hope you
understand that sometimes it's difficult to foresee which option will be
preferred by the community, so I, as a contributor, can do one thing
and, based on the feedback, change the course.

What would be the reason for this, ever?
I think this ties in with another point (or question) I raised
elsewhere: the assembly code in the reset vector suggests *anyway* that
SNP is only available if ES is available, but I couldn't verify that
from any specs. If this dependency is an architectural fact (that is, if
ES is absent, then SNP may never be present), then I wouldn't like to
introduce a separate field for SNP presence in the SEC_SEV_ES_WORK_AREA
structure.
I consider "data" the backbone (I consider "information flow" in a
somewhat declarative, not imperative, sense). Code just organizes itself

I *entirely* agree with you that it's impossible to predict what the
community will prefer. Yet it doesn't hurt to ask questions (or propose
approaches) in natural language, when facing a (likely important) choice.
More importantly: ahead-of-time discussion is not indispensable, as long
as you present your choices in code at once, but also document your
choices in natural language, at the same time. I think I'd have been
less frustrated and exhausted if your above 2-3 paragraphs had been
included anywhere near your patches. Then, I wouldn't have had to
reverse-engineer the data flow (the declarative backbone) bottom-up from
the code, and dig down the history and original justification of
SEC_SEV_ES_WORK_AREA.
If you *did* describe all this somewhere, before, and I missed it, then
I sincerely apologize.
I do unconditionally apologize about my tone; I've been spread thin for
a long time now, and heavy context switches are virtually unbearable.
It's an explanation, but not an excuse, for sure. So please forgive me
for being rude. I'll try to remedy that with some time away from work.
Thanks

One reason I can think of is if we ever decided validate the pages before the SevEsProtocolCheck(). The version 2 of GHCB spec adds few new NAE's that are SNP specific such as Page State Change. They are not applicable to the ES guests. Currently, we do the page validation much later and by then ProcessorConstructList() is called. Anyway, this is not an important thing to consider right now.

The SEV-SNP builds upon existing SEV and SEV-ES support and provides an additional protection from the hypervisor. The SEV-SNP feature requires both the SEV and SEV-ES must be enabled.

Thanks.
I agree there are conflicting goals here (and by that I don't mean my
goals conflict with yours). One goal is to avoid speculative generality,
as (in my experience) actual usage of such generality rarely
materializes, but we keep paying the price of a more complex data flow
in maintenance. The conflicting goal is to lay a future-proof foundation
(also known as "let's not code ourselves into a corner").
Personally, I'm really bad at predicting the future, while (I feel)
more-complex-than-necessary data flow tends to sound my alarm quickly.
(Perhaps because that can make debugging difficult.) I know I'm going
out on a limb here and that I might eat my words later, but right now, I
think we should not extend the work area.
Thanks for putting up with me.

Perfect, the first paragraph is exactly what I needed:
The SEV-SNP features enable additional protection for encrypted VMs
designed to achieve stronger isolation from the hypervisor. SEV-SNP
is used with the SEV and SEV-ES features described in Section 15.34
and Section 15.35 respectively and requires the enablement and use
of these features.
Thanks!
