This patch series focuses on setting up a TDX VM and adding all code
necessary to run a basic lifecycle test.
Unlike standard KVM selftests can set up the VM through guest registers,
TDX module protects TDs' register state from the host. This feature of
TDX causes problems on VM boot state initialization and the ucall
implementation.
In standard KVM selftests, the host directly initializes the guest state
by manipulating Special Registers (SREGs) and General Purpose Registers
(GPRs) via IOCTLs (KVM_SET_SREGS, etc.) before the first KVM_RUN.
To bypass direct register initialization by the host, we utilize the
standard x86 reset vector as the default entry point.
The mechanism works as follows:
1. The host places register values into a specific memory region and
inserts boot code at the VM's default starting point.
2. When the VM starts, it executes this boot code to "pull" values from
memory and manually set up its own SREGs and GPRs.
3. Once the environment is ready, the boot code jumps to the guest code.
The standard x86 ucall() implementation uses PIO, but it does not
actually transmit data through the 4-byte PIO data. Instead, it relies
on the host reading the ucall address directly from the guest's RDI
register.
TDX selftests cannot utilize the standard x86 ucall implementation,
because the host is unable to access the guest's RDI register. Based on
this restriction, we used TDCALL with an 8-byte MMIO data to implement
ucall. This method is the cleanest and efficient implementation for the
overall ucall architecture.
v14 revision for TDX KVM selftests based on kvm/next and guest_memfd:
In-place conversion support[1]. This series needs some changes from
in-place conversion v9. For ease of testing, an extra hack commit has
been added. The complete code is available at:
https://github.com/googleprodkernel/linux-cc/commits/tdx-selftests-v14
Changes from v13[2]:
1. Fixed some bugs, including typo and commit messages.
2. Outlined TDCALL from tdx.c to tdx.S.
3. Used HPET(0xfed00000) for ucall GPA address.
4. Supported guest_memfd w/wo in-place conversion support.
Thanks review from Ackerley, Binbin, Chenyi, Sean and Xiaoyao!
Series is organized by:
1. Patches 1 - 4: Initialize the TDX VM
2. Patches 5 - 8: Add the TDX boot code
3. Patches 9 - 13: Set up the boot region
4. Patches 14 - 17: Set up the vCPU
5. Patches 18 - 19: Finalize the TDX VM
6. Patches 20 - 22: Implement the ucall and run the TDX test
