[v4,2/3] x86/sgx: Fine grained SGX MCA behavior for virtualization

Commit Message

Zhiquan Li June 8, 2022, 3:26 a.m. UTC

When VM guest access a SGX EPC page with memory failure, current
behavior will kill the guest, expected only kill the SGX application
inside it.

To fix it we send SIGBUS with code BUS_MCEERR_AR and some extra
information for hypervisor to inject #MC information to guest, which is
helpful in SGX case.

The rest of things are guest side. Currently the hypervisor like Qemu
already has mature facility to convert HVA to GPA and inject #MC to
the guest OS.

Unlike host enclaves, virtual EPC instance cannot be shared by multiple
VMs.  It is because how enclaves are created is totally up to the guest.
Sharing virtual EPC instance will be very likely to unexpectedly break
enclaves in all VMs.

SGX virtual EPC driver doesn't explicitly prevent virtual EPC instance
being shared by multiple VMs via fork().  However KVM doesn't support
running a VM across multiple mm structures, and the de facto userspace
hypervisor (Qemu) doesn't use fork() to create a new VM, so in practice
this should not happen.

No changes since V3.

Changes since V2:
- Retrieve virtual address from "owner" field of struct sgx_epc_page,
  instead of struct sgx_vepc_page.
- Replace EPC page flag SGX_EPC_PAGE_IS_VEPC with
  SGX_EPC_PAGE_KVM_GUEST as they are duplicated.

Changes since V1:
- Add Acked-by from Kai Huang.
- Add Kai’s excellent explanation regarding to why we no need to
  consider that one virtual EPC be shared by two guests.
