Fix issues with enabling SNP host support and effectively SNP support
which is broken with respect to the KVM module being built-in.
SNP host support is enabled in snp_rmptable_init() which is invoked as
device_initcall(). SNP check on IOMMU is done during IOMMU PCI init
(IOMMU_PCI_INIT stage). And for that reason snp_rmptable_init() is
currently invoked via device_initcall() and cannot be invoked via
subsys_initcall() as core IOMMU subsystem gets initialized via
subsys_initcall().
Now, if kvm_amd module is built-in, it gets initialized before SNP host
support is enabled in snp_rmptable_init() :
[ 10.131811] kvm_amd: TSC scaling supported
[ 10.136384] kvm_amd: Nested Virtualization enabled
[ 10.141734] kvm_amd: Nested Paging enabled
[ 10.146304] kvm_amd: LBR virtualization supported
[ 10.151557] kvm_amd: SEV enabled (ASIDs 100 - 509)
[ 10.156905] kvm_amd: SEV-ES enabled (ASIDs 1 - 99)
[ 10.162256] kvm_amd: SEV-SNP enabled (ASIDs 1 - 99)
[ 10.171508] kvm_amd: Virtual VMLOAD VMSAVE supported
[ 10.177052] kvm_amd: Virtual GIF supported
...
...
[ 10.201648] kvm_amd: in svm_enable_virtualization_cpu
And then svm_x86_ops->enable_virtualization_cpu()
(svm_enable_virtualization_cpu) programs MSR_VM_HSAVE_PA as following:
wrmsrl(MSR_VM_HSAVE_PA, sd->save_area_pa);
So VM_HSAVE_PA is non-zero before SNP support is enabled on all CPUs.
snp_rmptable_init() gets invoked after svm_enable_virtualization_cpu()
as following :
...
[ 11.256138] kvm_amd: in svm_enable_virtualization_cpu
...
[ 11.264918] SEV-SNP: in snp_rmptable_init
This triggers a #GP exception in snp_rmptable_init() when snp_enable()
is invoked to set SNP_EN in SYSCFG MSR:

This #GP exception is getting triggered due to the following errata for
AMD family 19h Models 10h-1Fh Processors:
Processor may generate spurious #GP(0) Exception on WRMSR instruction:
Description:
The Processor will generate a spurious #GP(0) Exception on a WRMSR
instruction if the following conditions are all met:
- the target of the WRMSR is a SYSCFG register.
- the write changes the value of SYSCFG.SNPEn from 0 to 1.
- One of the threads that share the physical core has a non-zero
value in the VM_HSAVE_PA MSR.
The document being referred to above:
https://www.amd.com/content/dam/amd/en/documents/processor-tech-docs/revision-guides/57095-PUB_1_01.pdf
To summarize, with kvm_amd module being built-in, KVM/SVM initialization
happens before host SNP is enabled and this SVM initialization
sets VM_HSAVE_PA to non-zero, which then triggers a #GP when
SYSCFG.SNPEn is being set and this will subsequently cause
SNP_INIT(_EX) to fail with INVALID_CONFIG error as SYSCFG[SnpEn] is not
set on all CPUs.
Essentially SNP host enabling code should be invoked before KVM
initialization, which is currently not the case when KVM is built-in.
Add fix to call snp_rmptable_init() early from iommu_snp_enable()
directly and not invoked via device_initcall() which enables SNP host
support before KVM initialization with kvm_amd module built-in.
Add additional handling for `iommu=off` or `amd_iommu=off` options.
Note that IOMMUs need to be enabled for SNP initialization, therefore,
if host SNP support is enabled but late IOMMU initialization fails
then that will cause PSP driver's SNP_INIT to fail as IOMMU SNP sanity
checks in SNP firmware will fail with invalid configuration error as
below:
[ 9.723114] ccp 0000:23:00.1: sev enabled
[ 9.727602] ccp 0000:23:00.1: psp enabled
[ 9.732527] ccp 0000:a2:00.1: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)
[ 9.739098] ccp 0000:a2:00.1: no command queues available
[ 9.745167] ccp 0000:a2:00.1: psp enabled
[ 9.805337] ccp 0000:23:00.1: SEV-SNP: failed to INIT rc -5, error 0x3
[ 9.866426] ccp 0000:23:00.1: SEV API:1.53 build:5
...
and that will cause CC_ATTR_HOST_SEV_SNP flag to be cleared.

I think we should clear when `amd_iommu_snp_en` is true. May be below check is
enough?

That doesn't address the case where amd_iommu_prepare() fails, because amd_iommu_snp_en
will be %false (its init value) and the RMP will be uninitialized, i.e.
CC_ATTR_HOST_SEV_SNP will be incorrectly left set.
And conversely, IMO clearing CC_ATTR_HOST_SEV_SNP after initializing the IOMMU
and RMP is wrong as well. Such a host is probably hosed regardless, but from
the CPU's perspective, SNP is supported and enabled.

You are right. I missed early failure scenarios :-(

So we don't want to clear CC_ATTR_HOST_SEV_SNP after RMP initialization -OR-
clear for all failures?

I honestly don't know, because the answer largely depends on what happens with hardware. I asked in an earlier version of this series if IOMMU initialization failure after the RMP is configured is even survivable. For this series, I think it makes sense to match the existing behavior, unless someone from AMD can definitively state that we should do something different. And the existing behavior is that amd_iommu_snp_en and CC_ATTR_HOST_SEV_SNP will be left set if the IOMMU completes iommu_snp_enable(), and the kernel completes RMP setup.

Yes, that is true and this behavior is still consistent with this series. Again to reiterate, if iommu_snp_enable() and host SNP enablement is successful, any late IOMMU initialization failures should cause SNP_INIT to fail and that means IOMMU RMP enforcement will never get enabled and RMP table will remain configured for all memory marked as HV/host owned.

So the kernel should be able to limp along, but CC_ATTR_HOST_SEV_SNP will be in a half-baked state. Would it make sense to WARN if the RMP has been configured? E.g. as a follow-up change: /* * SNP platform initilazation requires IOMMUs to be fully configured. * If the RMP has NOT been configured, simply mark SNP as unsupported. * If the RMP is configured, but RMP enforcement has not been enabled * in IOMMUs, then the system is in a half-baked state, but can limp * along as all memory should be Hypervisor-Owned in the RMP. WARN, * but leave SNP as "supported" to avoid confusing the kernel. */ if (ret && cc_platform_has(CC_ATTR_HOST_SEV_SNP) && !WARN_ON_ONCE(amd_iommu_snp_en)) cc_platform_clear(CC_ATTR_HOST_SEV_SNP);
