[PATCH Part1 RFC v4 11/36] x86/sev: Register GHCB memory when SEV-SNP is active

From: Brijesh Singh
Date: Wed Jul 07 2021 - 14:16:32 EST


The SEV-SNP guest is required to perform GHCB GPA registration. This is
because the hypervisor may prefer that a guest use a consistent and/or
specific GPA for the GHCB associated with a vCPU. For more information,
see the GHCB specification section GHCB GPA Registration.

During the boot, init_ghcb() allocates a per-cpu GHCB page. On very first
VC exception, the exception handler switch to using the per-cpu GHCB page
allocated during the init_ghcb(). The GHCB page must be registered in
the current vcpu context.
