[RFC PATCH v2] x86/sev-es: Include XSS value in GHCB CPUID request

From: John Allen
Date: Wed May 24 2023 - 11:59:01 EST


When a guest issues a cpuid instruction for Fn0000000D_x0B (CetUserOffset), the
hypervisor may intercept and access the guest XSS value. For SEV-ES, this is
encrypted and needs to be included in the GHCB to be visible to the hypervisor.
The rdmsr instruction needs to be called directly as the code may be used in
early boot in which case the rdmsr wrappers should be avoided as they are
incompatible with the decompression boot phase.

v2:
- Do not expose XSS state for ECX > 1
- Direct MSR read was left as is for now. Using __rdmsr produces a warning
during kernel build as the __ex_table section used by __rdmsr isn't used
during decompression boot. Additionally, we can see other code
performing a similar direct msr read in this file in commit
ee0bfa08a3453.
