2021-06-03ppc/pef.c: initialize cgs->ready in kvmppc_svm_init()Daniel Henrique Barboza1-2/+4
QEMU is failing to launch a CGS pSeries guest in a host that has PEF support: qemu-system-ppc64: ../softmmu/vl.c:2585: qemu_machine_creation_done: Assertion `machine->cgs->ready' failed. Aborted This is happening because we're not setting the cgs->ready flag that is asserted in qemu_machine_creation_done() during machine start. cgs->ready is set in s390_pv_kvm_init() and sev_kvm_init(). Let's set it in kvmppc_svm_init() as well.

2021-02-08spapr: PEF: prevent migrationDavid Gibson1-0/+7
We haven't yet implemented the fairly involved handshaking that will be needed to migrate PEF protected guests. For now, just use a migration blocker so we get a meaningful error if someone attempts this (this is the same approach used by AMD SEV).

2021-02-08spapr: Add PEF based confidential guest supportDavid Gibson1-0/+133
Some upcoming POWER machines have a system called PEF (Protected Execution Facility) 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 having 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 confidential-guest-support 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. Qemu has no direct way of knowing if the guest is in secure mode, and certainly can't know until well after machine creation time. To start a PEF-capable guest, use the command line options: -object pef-guest,id=pef0 -machine confidential-guest-support=pef0 Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Reviewed-by: Greg Kurz <groug@kaod.org>
