Confidential computing (coco) hardware such as AMD SEV (Secure Encrypted
Virtualization) allows a guest owner to inject secrets into the VMs
memory without the host/hypervisor being able to read them.

Firmware support for secret injection is available in OVMF, which
reserves a memory area for secret injection and includes a pointer to it
the in EFI config table entry LINUX_EFI_COCO_SECRET_TABLE_GUID.
However, OVMF doesn't force the guest OS to keep this memory area
reserved.

If EFI exposes such a table entry, efi/libstub will copy this area to a
reserved memory for future use inside the kernel.

A pointer to the new copy is kept in the EFI table under
LINUX_EFI_COCO_SECRET_AREA_GUID.

The new functionality can be enabled with CONFIG_EFI_COCO_SECRET=y.

Why would you want to "copy" secret memory?

This sounds really odd here, it sounds like you are opening up a
security hole.  Are you sure this is the correct text that everyone on
the "COCO" group agrees with?
I understand the security concern: we don't want several copies of the
secrets all around the guest's memory.

I'll try to see if I can just reserve the memory (instruct EFI to leave
it intact) at its current address instead of creating a copy.  I'm open
to suggestions/pointers.


linux-coco list is CC'd on this series; feedback is welcome.

What is "virt/coo/efi_secret"?
Typo: that should be virt/coco/efi_secret (the module introduced in
patch 3).
