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]_ + +The main ioctl to access SEV is KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_OP. If the argument +to KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_OP is NULL, the ioctl returns 0 if SEV is enabled +and ``ENOTTY` if it is disabled (on some older versions of Linux, +the ioctl runs normally even with a NULL argument, and therefore will +likely return ``EFAULT``). If non-NULL, the argument to KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_OP +must be a struct kvm_sev_cmd:: + + struct kvm_sev_cmd { + __u32 id; + __u64 data; + __u32 error; + __u32 sev_fd; + }; + + +The ``id`` field contains the subcommand, and the ``data`` field points to +another struct containing arguments specific to command. The ``sev_fd`` +should point to a file descriptor that is opened on the ``/dev/sev`` +device, if needed (see individual commands). + +On output, ``error`` is zero on success, or an error code. Error codes +are defined in ````. + +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. + +KVM_SEV_LAUNCH_START requires the ``sev_fd`` field to be valid. + +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; + }; + +References +========== + + +See [white-paper]_, [api-spec]_, [amd-apm]_ and [kvm-forum]_ for more info. + +..
