Subject: [PATCH 2/5] x86/boot/compressed/64: Add CPUID sanity check to early #VC handler

From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@...e.de>

The early #VC handler which doesn't have a GHCB can only handle CPUID
exit codes. It is needed by the early boot code to handle #VC
exceptions raised in verify_cpu() and to get the position of the C
bit.

But the CPUID information comes from the hypervisor, which is untrusted
and might return results which trick the guest into the no-SEV boot path
with no C bit set in the page-tables. All data written to memory would
then be unencrypted and could leak sensitive data to the hypervisor.

Add sanity checks to the early #VC handlers to make sure the hypervisor
can not pretend that SEV is disabled.
