The Definitive SEV Guest API Documentation
|
|
===================================================================
|
|
|
|
1. General description
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
The SEV API is a set of ioctls that are used by the guest or hypervisor
|
|
to get or set a certain aspect of the SEV virtual machine. The ioctls belong
|
|
to the following classes:
|
|
|
|
- Hypervisor ioctls: These query and set global attributes which affect the
|
|
whole SEV firmware. These ioctl are used by platform provisioning tools.
|
|
|
|
- Guest ioctls: These query and set attributes of the SEV virtual machine.
|
|
|
|
2. API description
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
This section describes ioctls that is used for querying the SEV guest report
|
|
from the SEV firmware. For each ioctl, the following information is provided
|
|
along with a description:
|
|
|
|
Technology:
|
|
which SEV technology provides this ioctl. SEV, SEV-ES, SEV-SNP or all.
|
|
|
|
Type:
|
|
hypervisor or guest. The ioctl can be used inside the guest or the
|
|
hypervisor.
|
|
|
|
Parameters:
|
|
what parameters are accepted by the ioctl.
|
|
|
|
Returns:
|
|
the return value. General error numbers (-ENOMEM, -EINVAL)
|
|
are not detailed, but errors with specific meanings are.
|
|
|
|
The guest ioctl should be issued on a file descriptor of the /dev/sev-guest device.
|
|
The ioctl accepts struct snp_user_guest_request. The input and output structure is
|
|
specified through the req_data and resp_data field respectively. If the ioctl fails
|
|
to execute due to a firmware error, then fw_err code will be set otherwise the
|
|
fw_err will be set to 0x00000000000000ff.
|
|
|
|
The firmware checks that the message sequence counter is one greater than
|
|
the guests message sequence counter. If guest driver fails to increment message
|
|
counter (e.g. counter overflow), then -EIO will be returned.

2.1 SNP_GET_REPORT
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
:Technology: sev-snp
|
|
:Type: guest ioctl
|
|
:Parameters (in): struct snp_report_req
|
|
:Returns (out): struct snp_report_resp on success, -negative on error
|
|
|
|
The SNP_GET_REPORT ioctl can be used to query the attestation report from the
|
|
SEV-SNP firmware. The ioctl uses the SNP_GUEST_REQUEST (MSG_REPORT_REQ) command
|
|
provided by the SEV-SNP firmware to query the attestation report.
|
|
|
|
On success, the snp_report_resp.data will contains the report. The report
|
|
contain the format described in the SEV-SNP specification. See the SEV-SNP
|
|
specification for further details.
|
|
|
|
2.2 SNP_GET_DERIVED_KEY
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
:Technology: sev-snp
|
|
:Type: guest ioctl
|
|
:Parameters (in): struct snp_derived_key_req
|
|
:Returns (out): struct snp_derived_key_resp on success, -negative on error
|
|
|
|
The SNP_GET_DERIVED_KEY ioctl can be used to get a key derive from a root key.
|
|
The derived key can be used by the guest for any purpose, such as sealing keys
|
|
or communicating with external entities.
|
|
|
|
The ioctl uses the SNP_GUEST_REQUEST (MSG_KEY_REQ) command provided by the
|
|
SEV-SNP firmware to derive the key. See SEV-SNP specification for further details
|
|
on the various fields passed in the key derivation request.
|
|
|
|
On success, the snp_derived_key_resp.data contains the derived key value. See
|
|
the SEV-SNP specification for further details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2.3 SNP_GET_EXT_REPORT
|
|
----------------------
|
|
:Technology: sev-snp
|
|
:Type: guest ioctl
|
|
:Parameters (in/out): struct snp_ext_report_req
|
|
:Returns (out): struct snp_report_resp on success, -negative on error
|
|
|
|
The SNP_GET_EXT_REPORT ioctl is similar to the SNP_GET_REPORT. The difference is
|
|
related to the additional certificate data that is returned with the report.
|
|
The certificate data returned is being provided by the hypervisor through the
|
|
SNP_SET_EXT_CONFIG.
|
|
|
|
The ioctl uses the SNP_GUEST_REQUEST (MSG_REPORT_REQ) command provided by the SEV-SNP
|
|
firmware to get the attestation report.
|
|
|
|
On success, the snp_ext_report_resp.data will contain the attestation report
|
|
and snp_ext_report_req.certs_address will contain the certificate blob. If the
|
|
length of the blob is smaller than expected then snp_ext_report_req.certs_len will
|
|
be updated with the expected value.
|
|
|
|
See GHCB specification for further detail on how to parse the certificate blob.
|
|
|
|
3. SEV-SNP CPUID Enforcement
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
SEV-SNP guests can access a special page that contains a table of CPUID values
|
|
that have been validated by the PSP as part of the SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE firmware
|
|
command. It provides the following assurances regarding the validity of CPUID
|
|
values:
|
|
|
|
- Its address is obtained via bootloader/firmware (via CC blob), and those
|
|
binaries will be measured as part of the SEV-SNP attestation report.
|
|
- Its initial state will be encrypted/pvalidated, so attempts to modify
|
|
it during run-time will result in garbage being written, or #VC exceptions
|
|
being generated due to changes in validation state if the hypervisor tries
|
|
to swap the backing page.
|
|
- Attempts to bypass PSP checks by the hypervisor by using a normal page, or
|
|
a non-CPUID encrypted page will change the measurement provided by the
|
|
SEV-SNP attestation report.
|
|
- The CPUID page contents are *not* measured, but attempts to modify the
|
|
expected contents of a CPUID page as part of guest initialization will be
|
|
gated by the PSP CPUID enforcement policy checks performed on the page
|
|
during SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE, and noticeable later if the guest owner
|
|
implements their own checks of the CPUID values.
|
|
|
|
It is important to note that this last assurance is only useful if the kernel
|
|
has taken care to make use of the SEV-SNP CPUID throughout all stages of boot.
|
|
Otherwise, guest owner attestation provides no assurance that the kernel wasn't
|
|
fed incorrect values at some point during boot.
