  In a CoCo VM when a page transitions from private to shared, or vice
versa, attributes in the PTE must be updated *and* the hypervisor must
be notified of the change. Because there are two separate steps, there's
a window where the settings are inconsistent.  Normally the code that
initiates the transition (via set_memory_decrypted() or
set_memory_encrypted()) ensures that the memory is not being accessed
during a transition, so the window of inconsistency is not a problem.
However, the load_unaligned_zeropad() function can read arbitrary memory
pages at arbitrary times, which could access a transitioning page during
the window.  In such a case, CoCo VM specific exceptions are taken
(depending on the CoCo architecture in use).  Current code in those
exception handlers recovers and does "fixup" on the result returned by
load_unaligned_zeropad().  Unfortunately, this exception handling and
fixup code is tricky and somewhat fragile.  At the moment, it is
broken for both TDX and SEV-SNP.

There's also a problem with the current code in paravisor scenarios:
TDX Partitioning and SEV-SNP in vTOM mode. The exceptions need
to be forwarded from the paravisor to the Linux guest, but there
are no architectural specs for how to do that.

To avoid these complexities of the CoCo exception handlers, change
the core transition code in __set_memory_enc_pgtable() to do the
following:

1.  Remove aliasing mappings
2.  Remove the PRESENT bit from the PTEs of all transitioning pages
3.  Flush the TLB globally
4.  Flush the data cache if needed
5.  Set/clear the encryption attribute as appropriate
6.  Notify the hypervisor of the page status change
7.  Add back the PRESENT bit

With this approach, load_unaligned_zeropad() just takes its normal
page-fault-based fixup path if it touches a page that is transitioning.
As a result, load_unaligned_zeropad() and CoCo VM page transitioning
are completely decoupled.  CoCo VM page transitions can proceed
without needing to handle architecture-specific exceptions and fix
things up. This decoupling reduces the complexity due to separate
TDX and SEV-SNP fixup paths, and gives more freedom to revise and
introduce new capabilities in future versions of the TDX and SEV-SNP
architectures. Paravisor scenarios work properly without needing
to forward exceptions.

This approach may make __set_memory_enc_pgtable() slightly slower
because of touching the PTEs three times instead of just once. But
the run time of this function is already dominated by the hypercall
and the need to flush the TLB at least once and maybe twice. In any
case, this function is only used for CoCo VM page transitions, and
is already unsuitable for hot paths.

The architecture specific callback function for notifying the
hypervisor typically must translate guest kernel virtual addresses
into guest physical addresses to pass to the hypervisor.  Because
the PTEs are invalid at the time of callback, the code for doing the
translation needs updating.  virt_to_phys() or equivalent continues
to work for direct map addresses.  But vmalloc addresses cannot use
vmalloc_to_page() because that function requires the leaf PTE to be
valid. Instead, slow_virt_to_phys() must be used. Both functions
manually walk the page table hierarchy, so performance is the same.

I'm assuming the TDX handling of the data cache flushing is the
same with this new approach, and that it doesn't need to be paired
with a TLB flush as in the current code.  If that's not a correct
assumption, let me know.

I've left the two hypervisor callbacks, before and after Step 5
above. If the PTEs are invalid, it seems like the order of Step 5
and Step 6 shouldn't matter, so perhaps one of the callback could
be dropped.  Let me know if there are reasons to do otherwise.

It may well be possible to optimize the new implementation of
__set_memory_enc_pgtable(). The existing set_memory_np() and
set_memory_p() functions do all the right things in a very clear
fashion, but perhaps not as optimally as having all three PTE
manipulations directly in the same function. It doesn't appear
that optimizing the performance really matters here, but I'm open
to suggestions.

I've tested this on TDX VMs and SEV-SNP + vTOM VMs.  I can also
test on SEV-SNP VMs without vTOM. But I'll probably need help
covering SEV and SEV-ES VMs.

This RFC patch does *not* remove code that would no longer be
needed. If there's agreement to take this new approach, I'll
add patches to remove the unneeded code.

This patch is built against linux-next20230704.

This all seems reasonable if it allows the paravisor approach to run 
without issues.

I wouldn't think that SEV and SEV-ES VMs would have any issues. However, 
these types of VMs don't make hypercalls at the moment, but I don't know 
that any slow downs would be noticed.

Definitely needs a comment here (and below) that slow_virt_to_phys() is 
being used because of making the page not present.

Is there any case where the TLB wouldn't be flushed when it should? Since, 
for SEV at least, the TLB flush being removed below was always performed.

The TLB is flushed as long as set_memory_np() actually changes some
PTEs.  It doesn’t make any sense to be doing a private<->shared transition
on pages that aren't marked PRESENT, so clearing the PRESENT bit will
always change the PTEs and cause the TLB to be flushed.  The decision is
made several levels down in __change_page_attr() where the CPA_FLUSHTLB
flag is set.  The flush is done in change_page_attr_set_clr() based on that
flag.  The data cache is *not* flushed.

Also, even if the memory *was* already not PRESENT, then the PTEs
would not be cached in the TLB anyway, and the TLB would not need
to be flushed.

I believe it is not fixed for TDX. Is it still a problem for SEV-SNP?

Uhmm.. But why do we expected slow_virt_to_phys() to work on non-present
page table entries? It seems accident for me that it works now. Somebody
forgot pte_present() check.

Generally, if present bit is clear we cannot really assume anything about
the rest of the bits without external hints.

This smells bad.

Maybe the interface has to be reworked to operate on GPAs?

Do you remove the last enc_cache_flush_required() user?
