commit 5abf6dceb066f2b02b225fd561440c98a8062681 upstream.
The DebugSwap feature of SEV-ES provides a way for confidential guests to use
data breakpoints. However, because the status of the DebugSwap feature is
recorded in the VMSA, enabling it by default invalidates the attestation
signatures. In 6.10 we will introduce a new API to create SEV VMs that
will allow enabling DebugSwap based on what the user tells KVM to do.
Contextually, we will change the legacy KVM_SEV_ES_INIT API to never
enable DebugSwap.
For compatibility with kernels that pre-date the introduction of DebugSwap,
as well as with those where KVM_SEV_ES_INIT will never enable it, do not enable
the feature by default. If anybody wants to use it, for now they can enable
the sev_es_debug_swap_enabled module parameter, but this will result in a
warning.

============
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.
