x86/virt/tdx: Add SEAMCALL wrappers to manage TDX TLB tracking
TDX module defines a TLB tracking protocol to make sure that no logical
processor holds any stale Secure EPT (S-EPT or SEPT) TLB translations for a
given TD private GPA range. After a successful TDH.MEM.RANGE.BLOCK,
TDH.MEM.TRACK, and kicking off all vCPUs, TDX module ensures that the
subsequent TDH.VP.ENTER on each vCPU will flush all stale TLB entries for
the specified GPA ranges in TDH.MEM.RANGE.BLOCK. Wrap the
TDH.MEM.RANGE.BLOCK with tdh_mem_range_block() and TDH.MEM.TRACK with
tdh_mem_track() to enable the kernel to assist the TDX module in TLB
tracking management.
The caller of tdh_mem_range_block() needs to specify "GPA" and "level" to
request the TDX module to block the subsequent creation of TLB translation
for a GPA range. This GPA range can correspond to a SEPT page or a TD
private page at any level.
Contentions and errors are possible with the SEAMCALL TDH.MEM.RANGE.BLOCK.
Therefore, the caller of tdh_mem_range_block() needs to check the function
return value and retrieve extended error info from the function output
params.
Upon TDH.MEM.RANGE.BLOCK success, no new TLB entries will be created for
the specified private GPA range, though the existing TLB translations may
still persist. TDH.MEM.TRACK will then advance the TD's epoch counter to
ensure TDX module will flush TLBs in all vCPUs once the vCPUs re-enter
the TD. TDH.MEM.TRACK will fail to advance TD's epoch counter if there
are vCPUs still running in non-root mode at the previous TD epoch counter.
So to ensure private GPA translations are flushed, callers must first call
tdh_mem_range_block(), then tdh_mem_track(), and lastly send IPIs to kick
all the vCPUs and force them to re-enter, thus triggering the TLB flush.
Don't export a single operation and instead export functions that just
expose the block and track operations; this is for a couple reasons:
1. The vCPU kick should use KVM's functionality for doing this, which can better
target sending IPIs to only the minimum required pCPUs.
2. tdh_mem_track() doesn't need to be executed if a vCPU has not entered a TD,
which is information only KVM knows.
3. Leaving the operations separate will allow for batching many
tdh_mem_range_block() calls before a tdh_mem_track(). While this batching will
not be done initially by KVM, it demonstrates that keeping mem block and track
as separate operations is a generally good design.
Contentions are also possible in TDH.MEM.TRACK. For example, TDH.MEM.TRACK
may contend with TDH.VP.ENTER when advancing the TD epoch counter.
tdh_mem_track() does not provide the retries for the caller. Callers can
choose to avoid contentions or retry on their own.
