Having read through the docs briefly, some questions:
1. How does the crypto work? Is it straight AES-ECB? Is it a
tweakable mode? If so, what does into the tweak? For example, if I
swap the ciphertext of two pages, does the plaintext of the pages get
swapped? If not, why not?
2. In SEV mode, how does the hypervisor relocate a physical backing
page? Does it simple move it and update the 2nd-level page tables?
If so, is the result of decryption guaranteed to be garbage if it
relocates a page and re-inserts it at the wrong guest physical
address?
3. In SEV mode, does anything prevent the hypervisor from resuming a
guest with the wrong ASID, or is this all relying on the resulting
corruption of the guest code and data to cause a crash?
4. As I understand it, the caches are all unencrypted, and they're
tagged with the physical address, *including* the SME bit (bit 47).
In SEV mode, are they also tagged with the ASID? I.e. if I have a
page in cache for ASID 1 and I try to read it with ASID 2, will I get
a fresh copy decrypted with ASID 2's key? If so, will the old ASID 1
copy be evicted, or will it stay in cache and be non-coherent?
