BZ: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3275 An SEV-SNP guest requires that private memory (aka pages mapped encrypted) must be validated before being accessed. The validation process consist of the following sequence: 1) Set the memory encryption attribute in the page table (aka C-bit). Note: If the processor is in non-PAE mode, then all the memory accesses are considered private. 2) Add the memory range as private in the RMP table. This can be performed using the Page State Change VMGEXIT defined in the GHCB specification. 3) Use the PVALIDATE instruction to set the Validated Bit in the RMP table. During the guest creation time, the VMM encrypts the OVMF_CODE.fd using the SEV-SNP firmware provided LAUNCH_UPDATE_DATA command. In addition to encrypting the content, the command also validates the memory region. This allows us to execute the code without going through the validation sequence. During execution, the reset vector need to access some data pages (such as page tables, SevESWorkarea, Sec stack). The data pages are accessed as private memory. The data pages are not part of the OVMF_CODE.fd, so they were not validated during the guest creation. There are two approaches we can take to validate the data pages before the access: a) Enhance the OVMF reset vector code to validate the pages as described above (go through step 2 - 3). OR b) Validate the pages during the guest creation time. The SEV firmware provides a command which can be used by the VMM to validate the pages without affecting the measurement of the launch. Approach #b seems much simpler; it does not require any changes to the OVMF reset vector code. Update the OVMF metadata with the list of regions that must be pre-validated by the VMM before the boot.
