2021-02-04KVM/SVM: add support for SEV attestation commandBrijesh Singh
The SEV FW version >= 0.23 added a new command that can be used to query the attestation report containing the SHA-256 digest of the guest memory encrypted through the KVM_SEV_LAUNCH_UPDATE_{DATA, VMSA} commands and sign the report with the Platform Endorsement Key (PEK). See the SEV FW API spec section 6.8 for more details. Note there already exist a command (KVM_SEV_LAUNCH_MEASURE) that can be used to get the SHA-256 digest. The main difference between the KVM_SEV_LAUNCH_MEASURE and KVM_SEV_ATTESTATION_REPORT is that the latter can be called while the guest is running and the measurement value is signed with PEK.

2020-09-09docs: kvm: fix referenced ioctl symbolConnor Kuehl
The actual symbol that is exported and usable is 'KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_OP', not 'KVM_MEM_ENCRYPT_OP' $ git grep -l KVM_MEM_ENCRYPT_OP Documentation/virt/kvm/amd-memory-encryption.rst $ git grep -l KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_OP Documentation/virt/kvm/api.rst arch/x86/kvm/x86.c include/uapi/linux/kvm.h tools/include/uapi/linux/kvm.h While we're in there, update the KVM API category for KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_OP. It is called on a VM file descriptor.

2020-07-13docs: kvm: Replace HTTP links with HTTPS onesAlexander A. Klimov
Rationale: Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate. Deterministic algorithm: For each file: If not .svg: For each line: If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`: For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`: If neither `\bgnu\.org/license`, nor `\bmozilla\.org/MPL\b`: If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions return 200 OK and serve the same content: Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

2020-03-20KVM: SVM: document KVM_MEM_ENCRYPT_OP, let userspace detect if SEV is availablePaolo Bonzini
Userspace has no way to query if SEV has been disabled with the sev module parameter of kvm-amd.ko. Actually it has one, but it is a hack: do ioctl(KVM_MEM_ENCRYPT_OP, NULL) and check if it returns EFAULT. Make it a little nicer by returning zero for SEV enabled and NULL argument, and while at it document the ioctl arguments.

2019-07-24Documentation: move Documentation/virtual to Documentation/virtChristoph Hellwig
Renaming docs seems to be en vogue at the moment, so fix on of the grossly misnamed directories. We usually never use "virtual" as a shortcut for virtualization in the kernel, but always virt, as seen in the virt/ top-level directory. Fix up the documentation to match that.
