An SEV-ES vCPU requires additional VMCB initialization requirements for
vCPU creation and vCPU load/put requirements. This includes:
General VMCB initialization changes:
- Set a VMCB control bit to enable SEV-ES support on the vCPU.
- Set the VMCB encrypted VM save area address.
- CRx registers are part of the encrypted register state and cannot be
updated. Remove the CRx register read and write intercepts and replace
them with CRx register write traps to track the CRx register values.
- Certain MSR values are part of the encrypted register state and cannot
be updated. Remove certain MSR intercepts (EFER, CR_PAT, etc.).
- Remove the #GP intercept (no support for "enable_vmware_backdoor").
- Remove the XSETBV intercept since the hypervisor cannot modify XCR0.
General vCPU creation changes:
- Set the initial GHCB gpa value as per the GHCB specification.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
