Subject: [PATCH v2 0/8] Alternate Injection: Secure Interrupt Delivery for SEV-SNP Guests - Guest Support
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:57:16 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1789345277.git.huibo.wang@amd.com> (raw)

Hi all,

This revision fixes all the review comments from version 1.

The changes include:

1. Changed a few comments for better understanding, deleted some unnecessary
   code, corrected some typos, and some minor code fixes from the review
   comments by Sashiko and Boris.

2. Unified sev_apic_ghcb_msr_write() and sev_apic_ghcb_msr_read(). 

3. Move x2apic_svsm.o after x2apic_savic.o so that the secure AVIC gets
   preferred on machines supporting it.

4. Reworked svsm_apic_probe() as Boris suggested.

5. Updated tools with renamed MSR_AMD64_SNP_ALTERNATE_INJ_BIT and
   MSR_AMD64_SNP_ALT_INJ for completeness' sake.

6. Changed svsm_apic_send_IPI_self() with writing to the dedicated
   APIC_SELF_IPI instead of writing to APIC_ICR.

Thanks,
Melody

The revision fixes all of the review comments from version 0.
 
The changes include:
 
1. Changed a few commit messages, new file names, variables name and order,
   function names and more comments for better understanding.
 
2. Added a pre-patch to fix the problem that in two functions in the the SVSM
   vTPM guest implementation do not disable preemption when fetching CAA. It
   is moving the CAA fetching operation inside svsm_perform_call_protocol().

   This series relies on this fix too.


3. Removed svsm_do_call() helper function and some intermediary layer
   functions in SVSM APIC driver.

4. Removed the Secure AVIC check in SVSM APIC driver since it will never be
   touched. 

5. Terminate boot when Alternate Injection is enabled in vmpl0.

6. Added a common function for SVSM APIC read and write.

7. Added a new SEV_TERM_SET_LINUX value for Alternate Injection and APIC ghcb
   msr read/write.

8. Reworked sev_prepare() to reflect the error conditions correctly. 

9. Moved allowing all of interrupts right after registering the SVSM APIC
   protocol.

Alternate Injection is a method to provide secure interrupt delivery for
SEV-SNP guests against malicious injection attacks. By handing over the
control of the interrupt injection to the guest itself, the security is
applied. Alternate Injection use Secure VM Service Module (SVSM), and APIC
emulation in the SVSM to secure interrupt delivery.

This is the guest side patches. The patch set includes the following:
1. Add support for enabling Alternate Injection.
2. Add support for the SVSM APIC protocol which uses a subset of the
   X2APIC MSRs.
3. Add support to allow the guest OS to request Alternate
   Injection.
