(putting aside for the moment the other feedback) I think you said you want to know if TME is activated in BIOS. I get that. You don't want the system to be up and the customer can't tell if they actually turned on TME or not. If you only look for MKTME enabled status, you may miss the TME enabled status. We can have TME on and MKTME off. (Can't have opposite) Here are the boot message I observe based on BIOS selections: Se

If we have a way for users to opt out of that, that's fine with me because the default is to provide it and a user must have gone through _some_ hoop to undo the protection. BTW, although the MKTME hardware and architecture support disabling encryption, we don't have any plans to expose that to applications.

What about MKTME platforms that (using hypothetical future kernel support) have encryption enabled for a node but have disabled it for specific pages using madvise()?

It boils down to this: we shouldn't expose low-level, vendor-specific implementation details if we can avoid it. Let's expose something that app can actually use. Something that will work for all of the TME, MKTME and SEV platforms that I know of and continue to work for a while would be to have a per-numa-node (/sys/devices/system/node[X]/file) that says: "user data on this node is protected by memory encryption". SEV guests would always have a 1 in all nodes. TME systems with no platform screwiness like PMEM would always have a 1. Old systems would have a 0 in there. TME systems which also have PMEM-only nodes would set 0 in PMEM nodes and 1 on DRAM nodes. Systems with screwy EFI_MEMORY_CPU_CRYPTO mixing within NUMA nodes would turn it off for the screwy nodes. Is that concrete enough?

This is an important factor for > firmware security related applilcations. We need more specifics than this. It's an important factor for what, exactly? Who will consume this and what will they do with it? I'm also not sure we want to have an Intel product name in the ABI. If we're meaning to tell folks if hardware memory encryption is available on the platform, let's say _that_, rather than talk about MKTME. Also, MKTME enabling isn't all that interesting. TME is much more interesting and much more opaque.

No, we don't want a module driver which, as Dave explained, tells you exactly nothing whether encryption is actually enabled on the system. Didn't that become clear from the thread last time? -- Regards/Gruss, Boris. https://people.kernel.org/tglx/notes-about-netiquette
