From: Joerg Roedel <[email protected]> Hi, Here is a set of patches to support the VMM to provide a VMSA directly to KVM which will then be used by the BSP of the SEV-SNP VM. The use-case is IGVM loading, where the IGVM file contains a VMSA image which must be loaded into the initial memory image of the VM as-is to guarantee the expected launch measurement. The first patch re-works guest-VMSA handling and streamlines the state handling to make it more clear and maintainable. That patch accounts for the biggest part if the changes. I have tested these changes together with the planes patches and COCONUT-SVSM and can confirm that the launch measurment is correct again with these changes. The changes are based on previous work by Roy Hopkins[1]. Please review. Thanks, Joerg [1] https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/e00e081276b2cd9f1400ec5b1a9cd97f8b5c4d58 Joerg Roedel (4): kvm: svm: Streamline VMSA setting for VCPUs kvm: svm: Defer VMSA allocation to LAUNCH_FINISH stage kvm: svm: Support guest-provided VMSA for launching kvm: svm: Support KVM_SEV_SNP_PAGE_TYPE_VMSA at SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h | 1 + arch/x86/kvm/svm/sev.c | 419 +++++++++++++++++++++++--------- arch/x86/kvm/svm/svm.h | 32 ++- arch/x86/kvm/x86.c | 1 + include/uapi/linux/kvm.h | 1 + 5 files changed, 337 insertions(+), 117 deletions(-) -- 2.53.0
