Ok, I think I see what you mean: you call SME mask the bit in CPUID Fn8000_001F[EBX][5:0], i.e., the C-bit, i.e. sme_me_mask. And the other reduction is the key ASID, i.e., CPUID Fn8000_001F[EBX][11:6], i.e. sme_me_loss. I think we're on the same page - I was simply calling everything SME mask because both are together in the PTE: "Additionally, in some implementations, the physical address size of the processor may be reduced when memory encryption features are enabled, for example from 48 to 43 bits." -- Regards/Gruss, Boris.

Yes, the idea is that the SEV guest will be running encrypted from the
start, including the BIOS/UEFI, and so all of the EFI related data will
be encrypted.

There is a new Transparent SME mode that is now part of the overall SME support, but I'm not alluding to that in the documentation at all. In TSME mode, everything that goes through the memory controller would be encrypted and that would include EFI data, etc. TSME would be enabled through a BIOS option, thus allowing legacy OSes to benefit. > > The EFI regions are unencrypted for obvious reasons and you need to > access them as such. > >> Because the firmware volume is written to high memory in encrypted >> form, and because the PEI phase runs in 32-bit mode, the firmware >> code will be encrypted; on the other hand, data that is placed in low >> memory for the kernel can be unencrypted, thus limiting differences >> between SME and SEV. > > When you run fully encrypted, you still need to access EFI tables in the > clear.

Yeah, I had to ask about that myself and Tom will have it explained better in the next version. The reduction in physical address space happens when SME enabled because you need a couple of bits in the PTE with which to say which key has encrypted that page. So it is an indelible part of the SME machinery.

I suspect this patch is untested, and also wrong. :) The main difference between the SME and SEV encryption, from the point of view of the kernel, is that real-mode always writes unencrypted in SME and always writes encrypted in SEV. But UEFI can run in 64-bit mode and learn about the C bit, so EFI boot data should be unprotected in SEV guests. Because the firmware volume is written to high memory in encrypted form, and because the PEI phase runs in 32-bit mode, the firmware code will be encrypted; on the other hand, data that is placed in low memory for the kernel can be unencrypted, thus limiting differences between SME and SEV. Important: I don't know what you guys are doing for SEV and Windows guests, but if you are doing something I would really appreciate doing things in the open. If Linux and Windows end up doing different things with EFI boot data, ACPI tables, etc. it will be a huge pain. On the other hand, if we can enjoy being first, that's great. In fact, I have suggested in the QEMU list that SEV guests should always use UEFI; because BIOS runs in real-mode or 32-bit non-paging protected mode, BIOS must always write encrypted data, which becomes painful in the kernel. And regarding the above "important" point, all I know is that Microsoft for sure will be happy to restrict SEV to UEFI guests. :) There are still some differences, mostly around the real mode trampoline executed by the kernel, but they should be much smaller.

So this is confusing me. There's this patch which says EFI data is
accessed in the clear:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/2016083738.29880.6909.st...@tlendack-t1.amdoffice.net
but now here it is encrypted when SEV is enabled.
Do you mean, it is encrypted here because we're in the guest kernel?
