Caching the file here is unnecessary, it's used in exactly one function.

Rather than copy-paste _open_kvm_dev_path_or_exit(), it's probably worth factoring
out a helper in a separate patch, e.g.

LOL, I like sanity checks, but asserting that the test itself isn't horrendously
broken is a bit much. And someone manages to screw up that badly, the ioctl()
below will fail.

Rather than cache /dev/sev in a helper, you can do:

int sev_fd = open_path_or_exit(SEV_DEV_PATH, 0);

sev_ioctl(vm, sev_fd, ...);

I had to go spelunking to confirm this is the "ES" policy, please do:

if (es)
start.policy |= SEV_POLICY_ES;

And with sev_fd scoped to this function:

close(sev_fd);

which I think is legal?

Prefix this and LOCK_TESTING_THREAD with NR_ so that it's clear these are arbitrary
numbers of things. And I guess s/MIGRATE_TEST_NUM_VCPUS/NR_MIGRATE_TEST_VCPUS to
be consistent.

It doesn't really matter, but closing these fds tests that KVM doesn't explode
when VMs are destroyed without the process exiting.

For giggles, we can also test migrating back (with some feedback from below
mixed in):

/* Initial migration from the src to the first dst. */
sev_migrate_from(dst_vms[0]->fd, src_vm->fd);

for (i = 1; i < NR_MIGRATE_TEST_VMS; i++)
sev_migrate_from(vms[i]->fd, vms[i - 1]->fd);

/* Migrate the guest back to the original VM. */
sev_migrate_from(src_vm->fd, dst_vms[NR_MIGRATE_TEST_VMS - 1]->fd);

This looks wrong, it's indexing source_fds with a value from source_fds. Did
you intend?

j = i % LOCK_TESTING_THREADS;
cap.args[0] = input->source_fds[j];

For readability and future extensibility, I'd say create a single helper and use
it even in the happy case, e.g.

static int __sev_migrate_from(int dst_fd, int src_fd)
{
struct kvm_enable_cap cap = {
.cap = KVM_CAP_VM_MIGRATE_ENC_CONTEXT_FROM,
.args = { src_fd } // No idea if this is correct syntax
};

return ioctl(dst_fd, KVM_ENABLE_CAP, &cap);
}


static void sev_migrate_from(...)
{
ret = __sev_migrate_from(...);
TEST_ASSERT(!ret, "Migration failed, blah blah blah");
}

With a bit of refactoring, the same VMs from the happy case can be reused for
the locking test, and we can also get concurrent SEV+SEV-ES migration (see below).

With a little refactoring, this can add other tests, e.g. illegal dst. Assuming
KVM requires the dst to be !SEV, SEV and SEV-ES can use the same set of destination
VMs. And the locking test can take 'em all. E.g. something like:

struct kvm_vm *sev_vm, *sev_es_vm;

sev_vm = sev_vm_create(false);
sev_es_vm = sev_vm_create(true);

for (i = 0; i < NR_MIGRATE_TEST_VMS; i++)
dst_vms[i] = sev_dst_vm_create();

test_sev_migrate_from(sev_vms, dst_vms);
test_sev_migrate_from(sev_es_vms, dst_vms);

ret = __sev_migrate_from(sev_es_vms[0], sev_vms[0]);
TEST_ASSERT(ret == -EINVAL, ...);

ret = __sev_migrate_from(sev_vms[0], sev_es_vms[0]);
TEST_ASSERT(ret == -EINVAL, ...);

ret = __sev_migrate_from(dst_vms[0], dst_vms[1]);
TEST_ASSERT(ret == -EINVAL, ....);

test_sev_migrate_locking(sev_vm, sev_es_vm, dst_vms);
