Subject: [PATCH v16 00/13] Add Secure TSC support for SNP guests

This patchset is also available at:

  https://github.com/AMDESE/linux-kvm/tree/sectsc-guest-latest

and is based on tip/master

Overview
--------

Secure TSC allows guests to securely use RDTSC/RDTSCP instructions as the
parameters being used cannot be changed by hypervisor once the guest is
launched. More details in the AMD64 APM Vol 2, Section "Secure TSC".

In order to enable secure TSC, SEV-SNP guests need to send a TSC_INFO guest
message before the APs are booted. Details from the TSC_INFO response will
then be used to program the VMSA before the APs are brought up. See "SEV
Secure Nested Paging Firmware ABI Specification" document (currently at
https://www.amd.com/system/files/TechDocs/56860.pdf) section "TSC Info"

SEV-guest driver has the implementation for guest and AMD Security
Processor communication. As the TSC_INFO needs to be initialized during
early boot before APs are started, move the guest messaging code from
sev-guest driver to sev/core.c and provide well defined APIs to the
sev-guest driver.

Patches:
01-02: Prepatch
03-04: Patches moving SNP guest messaging code from SEV guest driver to
       SEV common code
05-10: SecureTSC enablement patches
11-12: Generic TSC improvements
   15: SecureTSC enablement.

Testing SecureTSC
-----------------

SecureTSC hypervisor patches based on top of SEV-SNP Guest MEMFD series:
https://github.com/AMDESE/linux-kvm/tree/sectsc-host-latest

QEMU changes:
https://github.com/nikunjad/qemu/tree/snp-securetsc-latest

QEMU commandline SEV-SNP with SecureTSC:

  qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu EPYC-Milan-v2 -smp 4 \
    -object memory-backend-memfd,id=ram1,size=1G,share=true,prealloc=false,reserve=false \
    -object sev-snp-guest,id=sev0,cbitpos=51,reduced-phys-bits=1,secure-tsc=on \
    -machine q35,confidential-guest-support=sev0,memory-backend=ram1 \
    ...

Changelog:
----------
