The CPU state that contains the wrapping key is in the same power
domain as the cache. So any sleep state that would invalidate the
cache (like S3) also invalidates the state of the wrapping key.
But, since the state is inaccessible to software, it needs a special
mechanism to save and restore the key during deep sleep.
A set of new MSRs are provided as an abstract interface to save and
restore the wrapping key, and to check the key status. The wrapping
key is saved in a platform-scoped state of non-volatile media. The
backup itself and its path from the CPU are encrypted and integrity
protected.
Define those MSRs to be used to save and restore the key for S3/4
sleep states.
But the backup storage's non-volatility is not architecturally
guaranteed across off-states, such as S5 and G3. Then, the kernel may
generate a new key on the next boot.
