<title>KVM: selftests: sev_init2_tests: Derive SEV availability from KVM</title>

The test asserted that the X86_FEATURE_SEV CPUID bit exactly matches
whether KVM offers KVM_X86_SEV_VM.  That is not an invariant: when all
SEV ASIDs are assigned to SEV-SNP, KVM does not offer the SEV VM type
even though CPUID reports SEV, so the test aborts on an SNP-only host.

Derive SEV availability from KVM_CAP_VM_TYPES (as already done for SEV-ES
and SNP), assert only the one-way implication that a type offered by KVM
is also reported in CPUID, and TEST_REQUIRE() the SEV VM type so the test
skips cleanly when it is unavailable.

sev_smoke_test ran the plain SEV subtest unconditionally, gated only on
the X86_FEATURE_SEV CPUID bit, while gating SEV-ES and SNP on the
KVM_CAP_VM_TYPES bits.  CPUID reporting SEV does not mean KVM offers the
SEV VM type: when all SEV ASIDs are assigned to SEV-SNP, KVM_X86_SEV_VM
is unavailable even though X86_FEATURE_SEV is set.  On such a host the
test aborts in KVM_CREATE_VM instead of exercising the available modes.

Gate the SEV subtest on KVM_CAP_VM_TYPES like the others, so the test
runs the VM types the host actually offers.

Migration and mirroring of SEV-SNP VMs are not supported yet.

Add two selftests that verify KVM rejects intra-host migration and
mirroring when the source VM is an SNP VM, so the restriction stays enforced
until proper SNP state transfer is implemented.

KVM SVM changes for 7.2

 - Add support for virtualizing gPAT (KVM previously just used L1's PAT when
   running L2).

 - Fix goofs where KVM mishandles side effects (e.g. single-step and PMC
   updates) when emulating VMRUN.

 - Fix a variety of bugs in AVIC's handling of x2APIC MSR interception, most
   notably where KVM didn't disable interception of IRR, ISR, and TMR regs.

 - Add support for virtualizing Host-Only/Guest-Only bits in the mediated PMU.

KVM SEV changes for 7.2

 - Don't advertise support for unusuable VM types, and account for VM types
   that are disabled by firmware, e.g. to mitigate security vulnerabilities.

 - Rewrite the SEV {en,de}crypt debug ioctls as they were riddle with bugs and
   unnecessarily complicated, and add comprehensive tests.

 - Clean up and deduplicate the SEV page pinning code.

 - Fix minor goofs related to writing back CPUID information after firmware
   rejects a CPUID page for an SNP vCPU.

KVM misc x86 changes for 7.2

 - Handle EXIT_FASTPATH_EXIT_USERSPACE in vendor code to ensure vendor code
   gets a chance to handle things like reaping the PML buffer.

 - Ensure KVM's copy of CR0 and CR3 are up-to-date on SVM prior to invoking
   fastpath handlers.

 - Update KVM's view of PV async enabling if and only if the MSR write fully
   succeeds.

 - Fix a variety of issues where the emulator doesn't honor guest-debug state,
   and clean up related code along the way.

 - Synthesize EPT Violation and #NPF "error code" bits when injecting faults
   into L1 that didn't originate in hardware (in which case the VMCS/VMCB
   doesn't hold relevant information).

 - Add support for virtualizing (well, emulating) AMD's flavor of CPL&gt;0 CPUID
   faulting.

 - Clean up the GPR APIs so that KVM's use of "raw" is consistent, and fix a
   variety of minor bugs along the way.

 - Fix an OOB memory access due to not checking the VP ID when handling a
   Hyper-V PV TLB flush for L2.

 - Fix a bug in the mediated PMU's handling of fixed counters that allowed the
   guest to bypass the PMU event filter.

 - Allow userspace to return EAGAIN when handling SNP and TDX hypercalls, so
   the KVM can forward a "retry" status code to the guest, and reserve all
   unused error codes for future usage.

 - Misc fixes and cleanups.

When KVM_X86_QUIRK_NESTED_SVM_SHARED_PAT is disabled, verify that KVM
correctly virtualizes the host PAT MSR and the guest PAT register for
nested SVM guests.

With nested NPT disabled:
 * L1 and L2 share the same PAT
 * The vmcb12.g_pat is ignored

With nested NPT enabled:
 * An invalid g_pat in vmcb12 causes VMEXIT_INVALID
 * RDMSR(IA32_PAT) from L2 returns the value of the guest PAT register
 * WRMSR(IA32_PAT) from L2 is reflected in vmcb12's g_pat on VMEXIT
 * RDMSR(IA32_PAT) from L1 returns the value of the host PAT MSR

Verify that save/restore with the vCPU in guest mode behaves as expected in
both cases, e.g. preserves both hPAT and gPAT when NPT is enabled.
