Kirill A. Shutemov 9a22bf6deb x86/traps: Add #VE support for TDX guest ... Virtualization Exceptions (#VE) are delivered to TDX guests due to specific guest actions which may happen in either user space or the kernel: * Specific instructions (WBINVD, for example) * Specific MSR accesses * Specific CPUID leaf accesses * Access to specific guest physical addresses Syscall entry code has a critical window where the kernel stack is not yet set up. Any exception in this window leads to hard to debug issues and can be exploited for privilege escalation. Exceptions in the NMI entry code also cause issues. Returning from the exception handler with IRET will re-enable NMIs and nested NMI will corrupt the NMI stack. For these reasons, the kernel avoids #VEs during the syscall gap and the NMI entry code. Entry code paths do not access TD-shared memory, MMIO regions, use #VE triggering MSRs, instructions, or CPUID leaves that might generate #VE. VMM can remove memory from TD at any point, but access to unaccepted (or missing) private memory leads to VM termination, not to #VE. Similarly to page faults and breakpoints, #VEs are allowed in NMI handlers once the kernel is ready to deal with nested NMIs. During #VE delivery, all interrupts, including NMIs, are blocked until TDGETVEINFO is called. It prevents #VE nesting until the kernel reads the VE info. TDGETVEINFO retrieves the #VE info from the TDX module, which also clears the "#VE valid" flag. This must be done before anything else as any #VE that occurs while the valid flag is set escalates to #DF by TDX module. It will result in an oops. Virtual NMIs are inhibited if the #VE valid flag is set. NMI will not be delivered until TDGETVEINFO is called. For now, convert unhandled #VE's (everything, until later in this series) so that they appear just like a #GP by calling the ve_raise_fault() directly. The ve_raise_fault() function is similar to #GP handler and is responsible for sending SIGSEGV to userspace and CPU die and notifying debuggers and other die chain users.
