[PATCH v3 2/2] x86/sev-es: Include XSS value in GHCB CPUID request

From: John Allen
Date: Wed Sep 24 2025 - 16:09:55 EST


When a guest issues a cpuid instruction for Fn0000000D_x01, the hypervisor may
be intercepting the CPUID instruction and need to access the guest XSS value.
For SEV-ES, the XSS value is encrypted and needs to be included in the GHCB to
be visible to the hypervisor.

v3:
- Only CPUID.0xD.1 consumes XSS. Limit including XSS in GHCB for this
case.
