Subject: [PATCH 0/4 v3] x86: AMD: Don't flush cache if hardware enforces cache coherency across encryption domains
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2020 19:25:57 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200911192601.9591-1-krish.sadhukhan@oracle.com> (raw)
In some hardware implementations, coherency between the encrypted and
unencrypted mappings of the same physical page is enforced. In such a system,
it is not required for software to flush the page from all CPU caches in the
system prior to changing the value of the C-bit for a page. This hardware-
enforced cache coherency is indicated by EAX[10] in CPUID leaf 0x8000001f.
Add this as a CPUID feature and skip flushing caches if the feature is present.
v2 -> v3:
Patch# 2: Moves the addition of the CPUID feature from
early_detect_mem_encrypt() to scattered.c.
Patch# 3,4: These two are the split of patch# 3 from v2. Patch# 3
is for non[PATCH 0/4 v3] x86: AMD: Don't flush encrypted pages if hardware enforces cache coherency-SEV encryptions while patch#4 is for SEV
encryptions.
