TDX stands for Trust Domain Extensions which isolates VMs from the virtual-machine manager (VMM)/hypervisor and any other software on the platform.
Intel has recently submitted a set of RFC patches for KVM support for TDX and more information can be found on the latest TDX Support Patches: https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/7/2/558
Due to the nature of the confidential computing environment that TDX provides, it is very difficult to verify/test the KVM support. TDX requires UEFI and the guest kernel to be enlightened which are all under development.
We are working on a set of selftests to close this gap and be able to verify the KVM functionality to support TDX lifecycle and GHCI [1] interface.
We are looking for any feedback on: - Patch series itself - Any suggestion on how we should approach testing TDX functionality. Does selftests seems reasonable or should we switch to using KVM unit tests. I would be happy to get some perspective on how KVM unit tests can help us more. - Any test case or scenario that we should add. - Anything else I have not thought of yet.
Current patch series provide the following capabilities:
- Provide helper functions to create a TD (Trusted Domain) using the KVM ioctls - Provide helper functions to create a guest image that can include any testing code - Provide helper functions and wrapper functions to write testing code using GHCI interface - Add a test case that verifies TDX life cycle - Add a test case that verifies TDX GHCI port IO
TODOs: - Use existing function to create page tables dynamically (ie __virt_pg_map()) - Remove arbitrary defined magic numbers for data structure offsets - Add TDVMCALL for error reporting - Add additional test cases as some listed below - Add #VE handlers to help testing more complicated test cases
Other test cases that we are planning to add: (with credit to sagis@google.com)
