KVM implements the following commands to support common lifecycle events of SEV
guests, such as launching, running, snapshotting, migrating and decommissioning.
-1. KVM_SEV_INIT
----------------
+1. KVM_SEV_INIT2
+----------------
-The KVM_SEV_INIT command is used by the hypervisor to initialize the SEV platform
+The KVM_SEV_INIT2 command is used by the hypervisor to initialize the SEV platform
context. In a typical workflow, this command should be the first command issued.
+For this command to be accepted, either KVM_X86_SEV_VM or KVM_X86_SEV_ES_VM
+must have been passed to the KVM_CREATE_VM ioctl. A virtual machine created
+with those machine types in turn cannot be run until KVM_SEV_INIT2 is invoked.
+
+Parameters: struct kvm_sev_init (in)
Returns: 0 on success, -negative on error
+::
+
+ struct kvm_sev_init {
+ __u64 vmsa_features; /* initial value of features field in VMSA */
+ __u32 flags; /* must be 0 */
+ __u16 ghcb_version; /* maximum guest GHCB version allowed */
+ __u16 pad1;
+ __u32 pad2[8];
+ };
+
+It is an error if the hypervisor does not support any of the bits that
+are set in ``flags`` or ``vmsa_features``. ``vmsa_features`` must be
+0 for SEV virtual machines, as they do not have a VMSA.
+
+``ghcb_version`` must be 0 for SEV virtual machines, as they do not issue GHCB
+requests. If ``ghcb_version`` is 0 for any other guest type, then the maximum
+allowed guest GHCB protocol will default to version 2.
+
+This command replaces the deprecated KVM_SEV_INIT and KVM_SEV_ES_INIT commands.
+The commands did not have any parameters (the ```data``` field was unused) and
+only work for the KVM_X86_DEFAULT_VM machine type (0).
+
+They behave as if:
+
+* the VM type is KVM_X86_SEV_VM for KVM_SEV_INIT, or KVM_X86_SEV_ES_VM for
+ KVM_SEV_ES_INIT
+
+* the ``flags`` and ``vmsa_features`` fields of ``struct kvm_sev_init`` are
+ set to zero, and ``ghcb_version`` is set to 0 for KVM_SEV_INIT and 1 for
+ KVM_SEV_ES_INIT.
+
+If the ``KVM_X86_SEV_VMSA_FEATURES`` attribute does not exist, the hypervisor only
+supports KVM_SEV_INIT and KVM_SEV_ES_INIT. In that case, note that KVM_SEV_ES_INIT
+might set the debug swap VMSA feature (bit 5) depending on the value of the
+``debug_swap`` parameter of ``kvm-amd.ko``.

+18. KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_START
+----------------------------
+
+The KVM_SNP_LAUNCH_START command is used for creating the memory encryption
+context for the SEV-SNP guest. It must be called prior to issuing
+KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE or KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_FINISH;
+
+Parameters (in): struct kvm_sev_snp_launch_start
+
+Returns: 0 on success, -negative on error
+
+::
+
+ struct kvm_sev_snp_launch_start {
+ __u64 policy; /* Guest policy to use. */
+ __u8 gosvw[16]; /* Guest OS visible workarounds. */
+ __u16 flags; /* Must be zero. */
+ __u8 pad0[6];
+ __u64 pad1[4];
+ };
+
+See SNP_LAUNCH_START in the SEV-SNP specification [snp-fw-abi]_ for further
+details on the input parameters in ``struct kvm_sev_snp_launch_start``.
+
+19. KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE
+-----------------------------
+
+The KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE command is used for loading userspace-provided
+data into a guest GPA range, measuring the contents into the SNP guest context
+created by KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_START, and then encrypting/validating that GPA
+range so that it will be immediately readable using the encryption key
+associated with the guest context once it is booted, after which point it can
+attest the measurement associated with its context before unlocking any
+secrets.
+
+It is required that the GPA ranges initialized by this command have had the
+KVM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_PRIVATE attribute set in advance. See the documentation
+for KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES for more details on this aspect.
+
+Upon success, this command is not guaranteed to have processed the entire
+range requested. Instead, the ``gfn_start``, ``uaddr``, and ``len`` fields of
+``struct kvm_sev_snp_launch_update`` will be updated to correspond to the
+remaining range that has yet to be processed. The caller should continue
+calling this command until those fields indicate the entire range has been
+processed, e.g. ``len`` is 0, ``gfn_start`` is equal to the last GFN in the
+range plus 1, and ``uaddr`` is the last byte of the userspace-provided source
+buffer address plus 1. In the case where ``type`` is KVM_SEV_SNP_PAGE_TYPE_ZERO,
+``uaddr`` will be ignored completely.
+
+Parameters (in): struct kvm_sev_snp_launch_update
+
+Returns: 0 on success, < 0 on error, -EAGAIN if caller should retry
+
+::
+
+ struct kvm_sev_snp_launch_update {
+ __u64 gfn_start; /* Guest page number to load/encrypt data into. */
+ __u64 uaddr; /* Userspace address of data to be loaded/encrypted. */
+ __u64 len; /* 4k-aligned length in bytes to copy into guest memory.*/
+ __u8 type; /* The type of the guest pages being initialized. */
+ __u8 pad0;
+ __u16 flags; /* Must be zero. */
+ __u32 pad1;
+ __u64 pad2[4];
+
+ };
+
+where the allowed values for page_type are #define'd as::
+
+ KVM_SEV_SNP_PAGE_TYPE_NORMAL
+ KVM_SEV_SNP_PAGE_TYPE_ZERO
+ KVM_SEV_SNP_PAGE_TYPE_UNMEASURED
+ KVM_SEV_SNP_PAGE_TYPE_SECRETS
+ KVM_SEV_SNP_PAGE_TYPE_CPUID
+
+See the SEV-SNP spec [snp-fw-abi]_ for further details on how each page type is
+used/measured.
+
+20. KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_FINISH
+-----------------------------
+
+After completion of the SNP guest launch flow, the KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_FINISH
+command can be issued to make the guest ready for execution.
+
+Parameters (in): struct kvm_sev_snp_launch_finish
+
+Returns: 0 on success, -negative on error
+
+::
+
+ struct kvm_sev_snp_launch_finish {
+ __u64 id_block_uaddr;
+ __u64 id_auth_uaddr;
+ __u8 id_block_en;
+ __u8 auth_key_en;
+ __u8 vcek_disabled;
+ __u8 host_data[32];
+ __u8 pad0[3];
+ __u16 flags; /* Must be zero */
+ __u64 pad1[4];
+ };
+
+
+See SNP_LAUNCH_FINISH in the SEV-SNP specification [snp-fw-abi]_ for further
+details on the input parameters in ``struct kvm_sev_snp_launch_finish``.
+
+Device attribute API
+====================
+
+Attributes of the SEV implementation can be retrieved through the
+``KVM_HAS_DEVICE_ATTR`` and ``KVM_GET_DEVICE_ATTR`` ioctls on the ``/dev/kvm``
+device node, using group ``KVM_X86_GRP_SEV``.
+
+Currently only one attribute is implemented:
+
+* ``KVM_X86_SEV_VMSA_FEATURES``: return the set of all bits that
+ are accepted in the ``vmsa_features`` of ``KVM_SEV_INIT2``.
