[PATCH v6 34/42] x86/boot: add a pointer to Confidential Computing blob in bootparams

From: Brijesh Singh <hidden>
Date: 2021-10-08 18:08:41
Also in: kvm, linux-efi, linux-mm, lkml, platform-driver-x86
Subsystem: the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

From: Michael Roth <redacted>

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 SEV-SNP CPUID enforcement for the run-time kernel,
similar early 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 uglyness.

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.
