+======================================
+Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV)
+======================================
+
+Overview
+========
+
+Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) is a feature found on AMD processors.
+
+SEV is an extension to the AMD-V architecture which supports running
+virtual machines (VMs) under the control of a hypervisor. When enabled,
+the memory contents of a VM will be transparently encrypted with a key
+unique to that VM.
+
+The hypervisor can determine the SEV support through the CPUID
+instruction. The CPUID function 0x8000001f reports information related
+to SEV::
+
+	0x8000001f[eax]:
+			Bit[1] 	indicates support for SEV
+	    ...
+		  [ecx]:
+			Bits[31:0]  Number of encrypted guests supported simultaneously
+
+If support for SEV is present, MSR 0xc001_0010 (MSR_K8_SYSCFG) and MSR 0xc001_0015
+(MSR_K7_HWCR) can be used to determine if it can be enabled::
+
+	0xc001_0010:
+		Bit[23]	   1 = memory encryption can be enabled
+			   0 = memory encryption can not be enabled
+
+	0xc001_0015:
+		Bit[0]	   1 = memory encryption can be enabled
+			   0 = memory encryption can not be enabled
+
+When SEV support is available, it can be enabled in a specific VM by
+setting the SEV bit before executing VMRUN.::
+
+	VMCB[0x90]:
+		Bit[1]	    1 = SEV is enabled
+			    0 = SEV is disabled
+
+SEV hardware uses ASIDs to associate a memory encryption key with a VM.
+Hence, the ASID for the SEV-enabled guests must be from 1 to a maximum value
+defined in the CPUID 0x8000001f[ecx] field.
+
+SEV Key Management
+==================
+
+The SEV guest key management is handled by a separate processor called the AMD
+Secure Processor (AMD-SP). Firmware running inside the AMD-SP provides a secure
+key management interface to perform common hypervisor activities such as
+encrypting bootstrap code, snapshot, migrating and debugging the guest. For more
+information, see the SEV Key Management spec [api-spec]_
+
+KVM implements the following commands to support common lifecycle events of SEV
+guests, such as launching, running, snapshotting, migrating and decommissioning.
+
+1. KVM_SEV_INIT
+---------------
+
+The KVM_SEV_INIT command is used by the hypervisor to initialize the SEV platform
+context. In a typical workflow, this command should be the first command issued.
+
+Returns: 0 on success, -negative on error
+
+2. KVM_SEV_LAUNCH_START
+-----------------------
+
+The KVM_SEV_LAUNCH_START command is used for creating the memory encryption
+context. To create the encryption context, user must provide a guest policy,
+the owner's public Diffie-Hellman (PDH) key and session information.
+
+Parameters: struct  kvm_sev_launch_start (in/out)
+
+Returns: 0 on success, -negative on error
+
+::
+
+        struct kvm_sev_launch_start {
+                __u32 handle;           /* if zero then firmware creates a new handle */
+                __u32 policy;           /* guest's policy */
+
+                __u64 dh_uaddr;         /* userspace address pointing to the guest owner's PDH key */
+                __u32 dh_len;
+
+                __u64 session_addr;     /* userspace address which points to the guest session information */
+                __u32 session_len;
+        };
+
+On success, the 'handle' field contains a new handle and on error, a negative value.
+
+For more details, see SEV spec Section 6.2.
+
+3. KVM_SEV_LAUNCH_UPDATE_DATA
+-----------------------------
+
+The KVM_SEV_LAUNCH_UPDATE_DATA is used for encrypting a memory region. It also
+calculates a measurement of the memory contents. The measurement is a signature
+of the memory contents that can be sent to the guest owner as an attestation
+that the memory was encrypted correctly by the firmware.
+
+Parameters (in): struct  kvm_sev_launch_update_data
+
+Returns: 0 on success, -negative on error
+
+::
+
+        struct kvm_sev_launch_update {
+                __u64 uaddr;    /* userspace address to be encrypted (must be 16-byte aligned) */
+                __u32 len;      /* length of the data to be encrypted (must be 16-byte aligned) */
+        };
+
+For more details, see SEV spec Section 6.3.
+
+4. KVM_SEV_LAUNCH_MEASURE
+-------------------------
+
+The KVM_SEV_LAUNCH_MEASURE command is used to retrieve the measurement of the
+data encrypted by the KVM_SEV_LAUNCH_UPDATE_DATA command. The guest owner may
+wait to provide the guest with confidential information until it can verify the
+measurement. Since the guest owner knows the initial contents of the guest at
+boot, the measurement can be verified by comparing it to what the guest owner
+expects.
+
+Parameters (in): struct  kvm_sev_launch_measure
+
+Returns: 0 on success, -negative on error
+
+::
+
+        struct kvm_sev_launch_measure {
+                __u64 uaddr;    /* where to copy the measurement */
+                __u32 len;      /* length of measurement blob */
+        };
+
+For more details on the measurement verification flow, see SEV spec Section 6.4.
+
+5. KVM_SEV_LAUNCH_FINISH
+------------------------
+
+After completion of the launch flow, the KVM_SEV_LAUNCH_FINISH command can be
+issued to make the guest ready for the execution.
+
+Returns: 0 on success, -negative on error
+
+6. KVM_SEV_GUEST_STATUS
+-----------------------
+
+The KVM_SEV_GUEST_STATUS command is used to retrieve status information about a
+SEV-enabled guest.
+
+Parameters (out): struct kvm_sev_guest_status
+
+Returns: 0 on success, -negative on error
+
+::
+
+        struct kvm_sev_guest_status {
+                __u32 handle;   /* guest handle */
+                __u32 policy;   /* guest policy */
+                __u8 state;     /* guest state (see enum below) */
+        };
+
+SEV guest state:
+
+::
+
+        enum {
+        SEV_STATE_INVALID = 0;
+        SEV_STATE_LAUNCHING,    /* guest is currently being launched */
+        SEV_STATE_SECRET,       /* guest is being launched and ready to accept the ciphertext data */
+        SEV_STATE_RUNNING,      /* guest is fully launched and running */
+        SEV_STATE_RECEIVING,    /* guest is being migrated in from another SEV machine */
+        SEV_STATE_SENDING       /* guest is getting migrated out to another SEV machine */
+        };
+
+7. KVM_SEV_DBG_DECRYPT
+----------------------
+
+The KVM_SEV_DEBUG_DECRYPT command can be used by the hypervisor to request the
+firmware to decrypt the data at the given memory region.
+
+Parameters (in): struct kvm_sev_dbg
+
+Returns: 0 on success, -negative on error
+
+::
+
+        struct kvm_sev_dbg {
+                __u64 src_uaddr;        /* userspace address of data to decrypt */
+                __u64 dst_uaddr;        /* userspace address of destination */
+                __u32 len;              /* length of memory region to decrypt */
+        };
+
+The command returns an error if the guest policy does not allow debugging.
+
+8. KVM_SEV_DBG_ENCRYPT
+----------------------
+
+The KVM_SEV_DEBUG_ENCRYPT command can be used by the hypervisor to request the
+firmware to encrypt the data at the given memory region.
+
+Parameters (in): struct kvm_sev_dbg
+
+Returns: 0 on success, -negative on error
+
+::
+
+        struct kvm_sev_dbg {
+                __u64 src_uaddr;        /* userspace address of data to encrypt */
+                __u64 dst_uaddr;        /* userspace address of destination */
+                __u32 len;              /* length of memory region to encrypt */
+        };
+
+The command returns an error if the guest policy does not allow debugging.
+
+9. KVM_SEV_LAUNCH_SECRET
+------------------------
+
+The KVM_SEV_LAUNCH_SECRET command can be used by the hypervisor to inject secret
+data after the measurement has been validated by the guest owner.
+
+Parameters (in): struct kvm_sev_launch_secret
+
+Returns: 0 on success, -negative on error
+
+::
+
+        struct kvm_sev_launch_secret {
+                __u64 hdr_uaddr;        /* userspace address containing the packet header */
+                __u32 hdr_len;
+
+                __u64 guest_uaddr;      /* the guest memory region where the secret should be injected */
+                __u32 guest_len;
+
+                __u64 trans_uaddr;      /* the hypervisor memory region which contains the secret */
+                __u32 trans_len;
+        };

-KVM/ARM VGIC Forwarded Physical Interrupts
-==========================================
-
-The KVM/ARM code implements software support for the ARM Generic
-Interrupt Controller's (GIC's) hardware support for virtualization by
-allowing software to inject virtual interrupts to a VM, which the guest
-OS sees as regular interrupts.  The code is famously known as the VGIC.
-
-Some of these virtual interrupts, however, correspond to physical
-interrupts from real physical devices.  One example could be the
-architected timer, which itself supports virtualization, and therefore
-lets a guest OS program the hardware device directly to raise an
-interrupt at some point in time.  When such an interrupt is raised, the
-host OS initially handles the interrupt and must somehow signal this
-event as a virtual interrupt to the guest.  Another example could be a
-passthrough device, where the physical interrupts are initially handled
-by the host, but the device driver for the device lives in the guest OS
-and KVM must therefore somehow inject a virtual interrupt on behalf of
-the physical one to the guest OS.
-
-These virtual interrupts corresponding to a physical interrupt on the
-host are called forwarded physical interrupts, but are also sometimes
-referred to as 'virtualized physical interrupts' and 'mapped interrupts'.
-
-Forwarded physical interrupts are handled slightly differently compared
-to virtual interrupts generated purely by a software emulated device.
-
-
-The HW bit
-----------
-Virtual interrupts are signalled to the guest by programming the List
-Registers (LRs) on the GIC before running a VCPU.  The LR is programmed
-with the virtual IRQ number and the state of the interrupt (Pending,
-Active, or Pending+Active).  When the guest ACKs and EOIs a virtual
-interrupt, the LR state moves from Pending to Active, and finally to
-inactive.
-
-The LRs include an extra bit, called the HW bit.  When this bit is set,
-KVM must also program an additional field in the LR, the physical IRQ
-number, to link the virtual with the physical IRQ.
-
-When the HW bit is set, KVM must EITHER set the Pending OR the Active
-bit, never both at the same time.
-
-Setting the HW bit causes the hardware to deactivate the physical
-interrupt on the physical distributor when the guest deactivates the
-corresponding virtual interrupt.
-
-
-Forwarded Physical Interrupts Life Cycle
-----------------------------------------
-
-The state of forwarded physical interrupts is managed in the following way:
-
-  - The physical interrupt is acked by the host, and becomes active on
-    the physical distributor (*).
-  - KVM sets the LR.Pending bit, because this is the only way the GICV
-    interface is going to present it to the guest.
-  - LR.Pending will stay set as long as the guest has not acked the interrupt.
-  - LR.Pending transitions to LR.Active on the guest read of the IAR, as
-    expected.
-  - On guest EOI, the *physical distributor* active bit gets cleared,
-    but the LR.Active is left untouched (set).
-  - KVM clears the LR on VM exits when the physical distributor
-    active state has been cleared.
-
-(*): The host handling is slightly more complicated.  For some forwarded
-interrupts (shared), KVM directly sets the active state on the physical
-distributor before entering the guest, because the interrupt is never actually
-handled on the host (see details on the timer as an example below).  For other
-forwarded interrupts (non-shared) the host does not deactivate the interrupt
-when the host ISR completes, but leaves the interrupt active until the guest
-deactivates it.  Leaving the interrupt active is allowed, because Linux
-configures the physical GIC with EOIMode=1, which causes EOI operations to
-perform a priority drop allowing the GIC to receive other interrupts of the
-default priority.
-
-
-Forwarded Edge and Level Triggered PPIs and SPIs
-------------------------------------------------
-Forwarded physical interrupts injected should always be active on the
-physical distributor when injected to a guest.
-
-Level-triggered interrupts will keep the interrupt line to the GIC
-asserted, typically until the guest programs the device to deassert the
-line.  This means that the interrupt will remain pending on the physical
-distributor until the guest has reprogrammed the device.  Since we
-always run the VM with interrupts enabled on the CPU, a pending
-interrupt will exit the guest as soon as we switch into the guest,
-preventing the guest from ever making progress as the process repeats
-over and over.  Therefore, the active state on the physical distributor
-must be set when entering the guest, preventing the GIC from forwarding
-the pending interrupt to the CPU.  As soon as the guest deactivates the
-interrupt, the physical line is sampled by the hardware again and the host
-takes a new interrupt if and only if the physical line is still asserted.
-
-Edge-triggered interrupts do not exhibit the same problem with
-preventing guest execution that level-triggered interrupts do.  One
-option is to not use HW bit at all, and inject edge-triggered interrupts
-from a physical device as pure virtual interrupts.  But that would
-potentially slow down handling of the interrupt in the guest, because a
-physical interrupt occurring in the middle of the guest ISR would
-preempt the guest for the host to handle the interrupt.  Additionally,
-if you configure the system to handle interrupts on a separate physical
-core from that running your VCPU, you still have to interrupt the VCPU
-to queue the pending state onto the LR, even though the guest won't use
-this information until the guest ISR completes.  Therefore, the HW
-bit should always be set for forwarded edge-triggered interrupts.  With
-the HW bit set, the virtual interrupt is injected and additional
-physical interrupts occurring before the guest deactivates the interrupt
-simply mark the state on the physical distributor as Pending+Active.  As
-soon as the guest deactivates the interrupt, the host takes another
-interrupt if and only if there was a physical interrupt between injecting
-the forwarded interrupt to the guest and the guest deactivating the
-interrupt.
-
-Consequently, whenever we schedule a VCPU with one or more LRs with the
-HW bit set, the interrupt must also be active on the physical
-distributor.
-
-
-Forwarded LPIs
---------------
-LPIs, introduced in GICv3, are always edge-triggered and do not have an
-active state.  They become pending when a device signal them, and as
-soon as they are acked by the CPU, they are inactive again.
-
-It therefore doesn't make sense, and is not supported, to set the HW bit
-for physical LPIs that are forwarded to a VM as virtual interrupts,
-typically virtual SPIs.
-
-For LPIs, there is no other choice than to preempt the VCPU thread if
-necessary, and queue the pending state onto the LR.
-
-
-Putting It Together: The Architected Timer
-------------------------------------------
-The architected timer is a device that signals interrupts with level
-triggered semantics.  The timer hardware is directly accessed by VCPUs
-which program the timer to fire at some point in time.  Each VCPU on a
-system programs the timer to fire at different times, and therefore the
-hardware is multiplexed between multiple VCPUs.  This is implemented by
-context-switching the timer state along with each VCPU thread.
-
-However, this means that a scenario like the following is entirely
-possible, and in fact, typical:
-
-1.  KVM runs the VCPU
-2.  The guest programs the time to fire in T+100
-3.  The guest is idle and calls WFI (wait-for-interrupts)
-4.  The hardware traps to the host
-5.  KVM stores the timer state to memory and disables the hardware timer
-6.  KVM schedules a soft timer to fire in T+(100 - time since step 2)
-7.  KVM puts the VCPU thread to sleep (on a waitqueue)
-8.  The soft timer fires, waking up the VCPU thread
-9.  KVM reprograms the timer hardware with the VCPU's values
-10. KVM marks the timer interrupt as active on the physical distributor
-11. KVM injects a forwarded physical interrupt to the guest
-12. KVM runs the VCPU
-
-Notice that KVM injects a forwarded physical interrupt in step 11 without
-the corresponding interrupt having actually fired on the host.  That is
-exactly why we mark the timer interrupt as active in step 10, because
-the active state on the physical distributor is part of the state
-belonging to the timer hardware, which is context-switched along with
-the VCPU thread.
-
-If the guest does not idle because it is busy, the flow looks like this
-instead:
-
-1.  KVM runs the VCPU
-2.  The guest programs the time to fire in T+100
-4.  At T+100 the timer fires and a physical IRQ causes the VM to exit
-    (note that this initially only traps to EL2 and does not run the host ISR
-    until KVM has returned to the host).
-5.  With interrupts still disabled on the CPU coming back from the guest, KVM
-    stores the virtual timer state to memory and disables the virtual hw timer.
-6.  KVM looks at the timer state (in memory) and injects a forwarded physical
-    interrupt because it concludes the timer has expired.
-7.  KVM marks the timer interrupt as active on the physical distributor
-7.  KVM enables the timer, enables interrupts, and runs the VCPU
-
-Notice that again the forwarded physical interrupt is injected to the
-guest without having actually been handled on the host.  In this case it
-is because the physical interrupt is never actually seen by the host because the
-timer is disabled upon guest return, and the virtual forwarded interrupt is
-injected on the KVM guest entry path.
