Move the x86 documentation under Documentation/arch/ as a way of cleaning
up the top-level directory and making the structure of our docs more
closely match the structure of the source directories it describes.
All in-kernel references to the old paths have been updated.

The canonical location for the tracefs filesystem is at /sys/kernel/tracing.
But, from Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst:
Before 4.1, all ftrace tracing control files were within the debugfs
file system, which is typically located at /sys/kernel/debug/tracing.
For backward compatibility, when mounting the debugfs file system,
the tracefs file system will be automatically mounted at:
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing
Many parts of Documentation still reference this older debugfs path, so
let's update them to avoid confusion.

Update the documentation for the new features:
1. Slow Memory Bandwidth allocation (SMBA).
With this feature, the QOS enforcement policies can be applied to the
external slow memory connected to the host. QOS enforcement is accomplished
by assigning a Class Of Service (COS) to a processor and specifying
allocations or limits for that COS for each resource to be allocated.
2. Bandwidth Monitoring Event Configuration (BMEC).
The bandwidth monitoring events mbm_total_bytes and mbm_local_bytes are set
to count all the total and local reads/writes respectively. With the
introduction of slow memory, the two counters are not enough to count all the
different types of memory events. With the feature BMEC, the users have the
option to configure mbm_total_bytes and mbm_local_bytes to count the specific
type of events.
Also add configuration instructions with examples.

The hypervisor can enable various new features (SEV_FEATURES[1:63]) and start a
SNP guest. Some of these features need guest side implementation. If any of
these features are enabled without it, the behavior of the SNP guest will be
undefined. It may fail booting in a non-obvious way making it difficult to
debug.
Instead of allowing the guest to continue and have it fail randomly later,
detect this early and fail gracefully.
The SEV_STATUS MSR indicates features which the hypervisor has enabled. While
booting, SNP guests should ascertain that all the enabled features have guest
side implementation. In case a feature is not implemented in the guest, the
guest terminates booting with GHCB protocol Non-Automatic Exit(NAE) termination
request event, see "SEV-ES Guest-Hypervisor Communication Block Standardization"
document (currently at https://developer.amd.com/wp-content/resources/56421.pdf),
section "Termination Request".
Populate SW_EXITINFO2 with mask of unsupported features that the hypervisor can
easily report to the user.
More details in the AMD64 APM Vol 2, Section "SEV_STATUS MSR".
[ bp:
- Massage.
- Move snp_check_features() call to C code.
Note: the CC:stable@ aspect here is to be able to protect older, stable
kernels when running on newer hypervisors. Or not "running" but fail
reliably and in a well-defined manner instead of randomly. ]

Pull x86 tdx updates from Dave Hansen:
"This includes a single chunk of new functionality for TDX guests which

x86/tdx: Add a wrapper to get TDREPORT0 from the TDX Module
|
|
TDX guest driver exposes IOCTL interfaces to service TDX guest
user-specific requests. Currently, it is only used to allow the user to
get the TDREPORT to support TDX attestation.
Details about the TDX attestation process are documented in
Documentation/x86/tdx.rst, and the IOCTL details are documented in
Documentation/virt/coco/tdx-guest.rst.
Operations like getting TDREPORT involves sending a blob of data as
input and getting another blob of data as output. It was considered
to use a sysfs interface for this, but it doesn't fit well into the
standard sysfs model for configuring values. It would be possible to
do read/write on files, but it would need multiple file descriptors,
which would be somewhat messy. IOCTLs seem to be the best fitting
and simplest model for this use case. The AMD sev-guest driver also
uses the IOCTL interface to support attestation.

Commit 5d9db883761a ("efi: Add support for a UEFI variable filesystem")
dated Oct 5, 2012, introduced a new efivarfs pseudo-filesystem to
replace the efivars sysfs interface that was used up to that point to
expose EFI variables to user space.
The main problem with the sysfs interface was that it only supported up
to 1024 bytes of payload per file, whereas the underlying variables
themselves are only bounded by a platform specific per-variable and
global limit that is typically much higher than 1024 bytes.
The deprecated sysfs interface is only enabled on x86 and Itanium, other
EFI enabled architectures only support the efivarfs pseudo-filesystem.
So let's finally rip off the band aid, and drop the old interface
entirely. This will make it easier to refactor and clean up the
underlying infrastructure that is shared between efivars, efivarfs and
efi-pstore, and is long overdue for a makeover.

Design-wise, it differs from AMD's solution considerably: it uses a
software module which runs in a special CPU mode called (Secure
Arbitration Mode) SEAM. As the name suggests, this module serves as
sort of an arbiter which the confidential guest calls for services it
needs during its lifetime.

Add documentation for In-Field Scan (IFS). This documentation
describes the basics of IFS, the loading IFS image, chunk
authentication, running scan and how to check result via sysfs.
The CORE_CAPABILITIES MSR enumerates whether IFS is supported.
The full github location for distributing the IFS images is
still being decided. So just a placeholder included for now
in the documentation.
Future CPUs will support more than one type of test. Plan for
that now by using a "_0" suffix on the ABI directory names.
Additional test types will use "_1", etc.

For debugging purposes it is very useful to have a way to see the full
contents of the SNP CPUID table provided to a guest. Add an sev=debug
kernel command-line option to do so.
Also introduce some infrastructure so that additional options can be
specified via sev=option1[,option2] over time in a consistent manner.

The previously defined Confidential Computing blob is provided to the
kernel via a setup_data structure or EFI config table entry. Currently,
these are both checked for by boot/compressed kernel to access the CPUID
table address within it for use with SEV-SNP CPUID enforcement.
To also enable that enforcement for the run-time kernel, similar
access to the CPUID table is needed early on while it's still using
the identity-mapped page table set up by boot/compressed, where global
pointers need to be accessed via fixup_pointer().
This isn't much of an issue for accessing setup_data, and the EFI config
table helper code currently used in boot/compressed *could* be used in
this case as well since they both rely on identity-mapping. However, it
has some reliance on EFI helpers/string constants that would need to be
accessed via fixup_pointer(), and fixing it up while making it shareable
between boot/compressed and run-time kernel is fragile and introduces a
good bit of ugliness.
Instead, add a boot_params->cc_blob_address pointer that the
boot/compressed kernel can initialize so that the run-time kernel can
access the CC blob from there instead of re-scanning the EFI config
table.
Also document these in Documentation/x86/zero-page.rst. While there,
add missing documentation for the acpi_rsdp_addr field, which serves a
similar purpose in providing the run-time kernel a pointer to the ACPI
RSDP table so that it does not need to [re-]scan the EFI configuration
table.

tl;dr: AMX state is ~8k. Signal frames can have space for this
~8k and each signal entry writes out all 8k even if it is zeros.
Skip writing zeros for AMX to speed up signal delivery by about
4% overall when AMX is in its init state.
This is a user-visible change to the sigframe ABI.
== Hardware XSAVE Background ==
XSAVE state components may be tracked by the processor as being
in their initial configuration. Software can detect which
features are in this configuration by looking at the XSTATE_BV
field in an XSAVE buffer or with the XGETBV(1) instruction.
Both the XSAVE and XSAVEOPT instructions enumerate features s
being in the initial configuration via the XSTATE_BV field in the
XSAVE header, However, XSAVEOPT declines to actually write
features in their initial configuration to the buffer. XSAVE
writes the feature unconditionally, regardless of whether it is
in the initial configuration or not.
Basically, XSAVE users never need to inspect XSTATE_BV to
determine if the feature has been written to the buffer.
XSAVEOPT users *do* need to inspect XSTATE_BV. They might also
need to clear out the buffer if they want to make an isolated
change to the state, like modifying one register.
== Software Signal / XSAVE Background ==
Signal frames have historically been written with XSAVE itself.
Each state is written in its entirety, regardless of being in its
initial configuration.
In other words, the signal frame ABI uses the XSAVE behavior, not
the XSAVEOPT behavior.
== Problem ==
This means that any application which has acquired permission to
use AMX via ARCH_REQ_XCOMP_PERM will write 8k of state to the
signal frame. This 8k write will occur even when AMX was in its
initial configuration and software *knows* this because of
XSTATE_BV.
This problem also exists to a lesser degree with AVX-512 and its
2k of state. However, AVX-512 use does not require
ARCH_REQ_XCOMP_PERM and is more likely to have existing users
which would be impacted by any change in behavior.
== Solution ==
Stop writing out AMX xfeatures which are in their initial state
to the signal frame. This effectively makes the signal frame
XSAVE buffer look as if it were written with a combination of
XSAVEOPT and XSAVE behavior. Userspace which handles XSAVEOPT-
style buffers should be able to handle this naturally.
For now, include only the AMX xfeatures: XTILE and XTILEDATA in
this new behavior. These require new ABI to use anyway, which
makes their users very unlikely to be broken. This XSAVEOPT-like
behavior should be expected for all future dynamic xfeatures. It
may also be extended to legacy features like AVX-512 in the
future.
Only attempt this optimization on systems with dynamic features.
Disable dynamic feature support (XFD) if XGETBV1 is unavailable
by adding a CPUID dependency.
This has been measured to reduce the *overall* cycle cost of
signal delivery by about 4%.

For bare-metal SGX on real hardware, the hardware provides guarantees
SGX state at reboot. For instance, all pages start out uninitialized.
The vepc driver provides a similar guarantee today for freshly-opened
vepc instances, but guests such as Windows expect all pages to be in
uninitialized state on startup, including after every guest reboot.
Some userspace implementations of virtual SGX would rather avoid having
to close and reopen the /dev/sgx_vepc file descriptor and re-mmap the
virtual EPC. For example, they could sandbox themselves after the guest
starts and forbid further calls to open(), in order to mitigate exploits
from untrusted guests.
Therefore, add a ioctl that does this with EREMOVE. Userspace can
invoke the ioctl to bring its vEPC pages back to uninitialized state.
There is a possibility that some pages fail to be removed if they are
SECS pages, and the child and SECS pages could be in separate vEPC
regions. Therefore, the ioctl returns the number of EREMOVE failures,
telling userspace to try the ioctl again after it's done with all
vEPC regions. A more verbose description of the correct usage and
the possible error conditions is documented in sgx.rst.
