RIP_REL_REF() has no effect on code residing in arch/x86/boot/startup,
as it is built with -fPIC. So remove any occurrences from the SME
startup code.

Note the SME is the only caller of cc_set_mask() that requires this, so
drop it from there as well.

When extra warnings are enabled, the cc_mask definition in &lt;asm/coco.h&gt;
causes a build failure with GCC:

  arch/x86/include/asm/coco.h:28:18: error: 'cc_mask' defined but not used [-Werror=unused-const-variable=]
     28 | static const u64 cc_mask = 0;

Add a cc_get_mask() function mirroring cc_set_mask() for the one
user of the variable outside of the CoCo implementation.

The TDX guest platform takes one bit from the physical address to
indicate if the page is shared (accessible by VMM). This bit is not part
of the physical_mask and is not preserved during mprotect(). As a
result, the 'shared' bit is lost during mprotect() on shared mappings.

_COMMON_PAGE_CHG_MASK specifies which PTE bits need to be preserved
during modification. AMD includes 'sme_me_mask' in the define to
preserve the 'encrypt' bit.

To cover both Intel and AMD cases, include 'cc_mask' in
_COMMON_PAGE_CHG_MASK instead of 'sme_me_mask'.

<title>x86/coco: Require seeding RNG with RDRAND on CoCo systems</title>

<id>urn:sha1:99485c4c026f024e7cb82da84c7951dbe3deb584</id>
<content type='text'>
There are few uses of CoCo that don't rely on working cryptography and
hence a working RNG. Unfortunately, the CoCo threat model means that the
VM host cannot be trusted and may actively work against guests to
extract secrets or manipulate computation. Since a malicious host can
modify or observe nearly all inputs to guests, the only remaining source
of entropy for CoCo guests is RDRAND.

If RDRAND is broken -- due to CPU hardware fault -- the RNG as a whole
is meant to gracefully continue on gathering entropy from other sources,
but since there aren't other sources on CoCo, this is catastrophic.
This is mostly a concern at boot time when initially seeding the RNG, as
after that the consequences of a broken RDRAND are much more
theoretical.

So, try at boot to seed the RNG using 256 bits of RDRAND output. If this
fails, panic(). This will also trigger if the system is booted without
RDRAND, as RDRAND is essential for a safe CoCo boot.

Add this deliberately to be "just a CoCo x86 driver feature" and not
part of the RNG itself. Many device drivers and platforms have some
desire to contribute something to the RNG, and add_device_randomness()
is specifically meant for this purpose.

Any driver can call it with seed data of any quality, or even garbage
quality, and it can only possibly make the quality of the RNG better or
have no effect, but can never make it worse.

Rather than trying to build something into the core of the RNG, consider
the particular CoCo issue just a CoCo issue, and therefore separate it
all out into driver (well, arch/platform) code.

Pull x86 SEV updates from Borislav Petkov:

 - Add the x86 part of the SEV-SNP host support.

   This will allow the kernel to be used as a KVM hypervisor capable of
   running SNP (Secure Nested Paging) guests. Roughly speaking, SEV-SNP
   is the ultimate goal of the AMD confidential computing side,
   providing the most comprehensive confidential computing environment
   up to date.

   This is the x86 part and there is a KVM part which did not get ready
   in time for the merge window so latter will be forthcoming in the
   next cycle.

 - Rework the early code's position-dependent SEV variable references in
   order to allow building the kernel with clang and -fPIE/-fPIC and
   -mcmodel=kernel

 - The usual set of fixes, cleanups and improvements all over the place

<content type='text'>
The early startup code executes from a 1:1 mapping of memory, which
differs from the mapping that the code was linked and/or relocated to
run at. The latter mapping is not active yet at this point, and so
symbol references that rely on it will fault.

Given that the core kernel is built without -fPIC, symbol references are
typically emitted as absolute, and so any such references occuring in
the early startup code will therefore crash the kernel.

While an attempt was made to work around this for the early SEV/SME
startup code, by forcing RIP-relative addressing for certain global
SEV/SME variables via inline assembly (see snp_cpuid_get_table() for
example), RIP-relative addressing must be pervasively enforced for
SEV/SME global variables when accessed prior to page table fixups.

__startup_64() already handles this issue for select non-SEV/SME global
variables using fixup_pointer(), which adjusts the pointer relative to a
`physaddr` argument. To avoid having to pass around this `physaddr`
argument across all functions needing to apply pointer fixups, introduce
a macro RIP_RELATIVE_REF() which generates a RIP-relative reference to
a given global variable. It is used where necessary to force
RIP-relative accesses to global variables.

For backporting purposes, this patch makes no attempt at cleaning up
other occurrences of this pattern, involving either inline asm or
fixup_pointer(). Those will be addressed later.

  [ bp: Call it "rip_rel_ref" everywhere like other code shortens
    "rIP-relative reference" and make the asm wrapper __always_inline. ]

After commit a9ef277488cf ("x86/kvm: Fix SEV check in
sev_map_percpu_data()"), there is a build error when building
x86_64_defconfig with GCOV using LLVM:

  ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: cc_vendor
  &gt;&gt;&gt; referenced by kvm.c
  &gt;&gt;&gt;               arch/x86/kernel/kvm.o:(kvm_smp_prepare_boot_cpu) in archive vmlinux.a

which corresponds to

  if (cc_vendor != CC_VENDOR_AMD ||
      !cc_platform_has(CC_ATTR_GUEST_MEM_ENCRYPT))
            return;

Without GCOV, clang is able to eliminate the use of cc_vendor because
cc_platform_has() evaluates to false when CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CC_PLATFORM is
not set, meaning that if statement will be true no matter what value
cc_vendor has.

With GCOV, the instrumentation keeps the use of cc_vendor around for
code coverage purposes but cc_vendor is only declared, not defined,
without CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CC_PLATFORM, leading to the build error above.

Provide a macro definition of cc_vendor when CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CC_PLATFORM
is not set with a value of CC_VENDOR_NONE, so that the first condition
can always be evaluated/eliminated at compile time, avoiding the build
error altogether. This is very similar to the situation prior to
commit da86eb961184 ("x86/coco: Get rid of accessor functions").

Pull x86 APIC updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Fix the incorrect handling of atomic offset updates in
   reserve_eilvt_offset()

   The check for the return value of atomic_cmpxchg() is not compared
   against the old value, it is compared against the new value, which
   makes it two round on success.

   Convert it to atomic_try_cmpxchg() which does the right thing.

 - Handle IO/APIC less systems correctly

   When IO/APIC is not advertised by ACPI then the computation of the
   lower bound for dynamically allocated interrupts like MSI goes wrong.

   This lower bound is used to exclude the IO/APIC legacy GSI space as
   that must stay reserved for the legacy interrupts.

   In case that the system, e.g. VM, does not advertise an IO/APIC the
   lower bound stays at 0.

   0 is an invalid interrupt number except for the legacy timer
   interrupt on x86. The return value is unchecked in the core code, so
   it ends up to allocate interrupt number 0 which is subsequently
   considered to be invalid by the caller, e.g. the MSI allocation code.

   A similar problem was already cured for device tree based systems
   years ago, but that missed - or did not envision - the zero IO/APIC
   case.

   Consolidate the zero check and return the provided "from" argument to
   the core code call site, which is guaranteed to be greater than 0.

 - Simplify the X2APIC cluster CPU mask logic for CPU hotplug

   Per cluster CPU masks are required for X2APIC in cluster mode to
   determine the correct cluster for a target CPU when calculating the
   destination for IPIs

   These masks are established when CPUs are borught up. The first CPU
   in a cluster must allocate a new cluster CPU mask. As this happens
   during the early startup of a CPU, where memory allocations cannot be
   done, the mask has to be allocated by the control CPU.

   The current implementation allocates a clustermask just in case and
   if the to be brought up CPU is the first in a cluster the CPU takes
   over this allocation from a global pointer.

   This works nicely in the fully serialized CPU bringup scenario which
   is used today, but would fail completely for parallel bringup of
   CPUs.

   The cluster association of a CPU can be computed from the APIC ID
   which is enumerated by ACPI/MADT.

   So the cluster CPU masks can be preallocated and associated upfront
   and the upcoming CPUs just need to set their corresponding bit.

   Aside of preparing for parallel bringup this is a valuable
   simplification on its own.

 - Remove global variables which control the early startup of secondary
   CPUs on 64-bit

   The only information which is needed by a starting CPU is the Linux
   CPU number. The CPU number allows it to retrieve the rest of the
   required data from already existing per CPU storage.

   So instead of initial_stack, early_gdt_desciptor and initial_gs
   provide a new variable smpboot_control which contains the Linux CPU
   number for now. The starting CPU can retrieve and compute all
   required information for startup from there.

   Aside of being a cleanup, this is also preparing for parallel CPU
   bringup, where starting CPUs will look up their Linux CPU number via
   the APIC ID, when smpboot_control has the corresponding control bit
   set.

 - Make cc_vendor globally accesible

   Subsequent parallel bringup changes require access to cc_vendor
   because confidental computing platforms need special treatment in the
   early startup phase vs. CPUID and APCI ID readouts.

   The change makes cc_vendor global and provides stub accessors in case
   that CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CC_PLATFORM is not set.

   This was merged from the x86/cc branch in anticipation of further
   parallel bringup commits which require access to cc_vendor. Due to
   late discoveries of fundamental issue with those patches these
   commits never happened.

   The merge commit is unfortunately in the middle of the APIC commits
   so unraveling it would have required a rebase or revert. As the
   parallel bringup seems to be well on its way for 6.5 this would be
   just pointless churn. As the commit does not contain any functional
   change it's not a risk to keep it.
