[RFC PATCH 0/4] SEV-SNP guest policy bit support updates

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This series aims to allow more flexibility in specifying SEV-SNP policy
bits by improving discoverability of supported policy bits from userspace
and enabling support for newer policy bits.

- The first patch adds a new KVM_X86_GRP_SEV attribute group,
  KVM_X86_SNP_POLICY_BITS, that can be used to return the supported
  SEV-SNP policy bits. The initial support for this attribute will return
  the current KVM supported policy bitmask.

- The next 3 patches provide for adding to the known SEV-SNP policy
  bits. Since some policy bits are dependent on specific levels of SEV
  firmware support, the CCP driver is updated to provide an API to return
  the supported policy bits.

  The supported policy bits bitmask used by KVM is generated by taking the
  policy bitmask returned by the CCP driver and ANDing it with the KVM
  supported policy bits. KVM supported policy bits are policy bits that
  do not require any specific implementation support from KVM to allow.

This series has a prereq against the ciphertext hiding patches that were
recently accepted into the cryptodev tree.

The series is based off of:
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm.git next

  with the added the ciphertext hiding patches

Tom Lendacky (4):
  KVM: SEV: Publish supported SEV-SNP policy bits
  KVM: SEV: Consolidate the SEV policy bits in a single header file
  crypto: ccp - Add an API to return the supported SEV-SNP policy bits
  KVM: SEV: Add known supported SEV-SNP policy bits
