[RFC v2 17/18] spapr: Added PEF based guest memory protection


From: David Gibson
Subject: [RFC v2 17/18] spapr: Added PEF based guest memory protection
Date: Thu, 21 May 2020 13:43:03 +1000

Some upcoming POWER machines have a system called PEF (Protected
Execution Framework) which uses a small ultravisor to allow guests to
run in a way that they can't be eavesdropped by the hypervisor.  The
effect is roughly similar to AMD SEV, although the mechanisms are
quite different.

Most of the work of this is done between the guest, KVM and the
ultravisor, with little need for involvement by qemu.  However qemu
does need to tell KVM to allow secure VMs.

Because the availability of secure mode is a guest visible difference
which depends on havint the right hardware and firmware, we don't
enable this by default.  In order to run a secure guest you need to
create a "pef-guest" object and set the guest-memory-protection machine 
property to point to it.

Note that this just *allows* secure guests, the architecture of PEF is
such that the guest still needs to talk to the ultravisor to enter
secure mode, so we can't know if the guest actually is secure until
well after machine creation time.
