Version 2 of the GHCB specification provides a Non Automatic Exit (NAE) event type that can be used by the SEV-SNP guest to communicate with the PSP without risk from a malicious hypervisor who wishes to read, alter, drop or replay the messages sent. SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE can insert two special pages into the guest’s memory: the secrets page and the CPUID page. The PSP firmware populates the contents of the secrets page. The secrets page contains encryption keys used by the guest to interact with the firmware. Because the secrets page is encrypted with the guest’s memory encryption key, the hypervisor cannot read the keys. See SEV-SNP firmware spec for further details on the secrets page format. Create a platform device that the SEV-SNP guest driver can bind to get the platform resources such as encryption key and message id to use to communicate with the PSP. The SEV-SNP guest driver provides a userspace interface to get the attestation report, key derivation, extended attestation report etc. Signed-off-by: Brijesh Singh <brijesh.singh@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220307213356.2797205-43-brijesh.singh@amd.com
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.
