Merge tag 'x86_sev_for_v5.19_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull AMD SEV-SNP support from Borislav Petkov:
"The third AMD confidential computing feature called Secure Nested
Paging.
Add to confidential guests the necessary memory integrity protection
against malicious hypervisor-based attacks like data replay, memory
remapping and others, thus achieving a stronger isolation from the
hypervisor.
At the core of the functionality is a new structure called a reverse
map table (RMP) with which the guest has a say in which pages get
assigned to it and gets notified when a page which it owns, gets
accessed/modified under the covers so that the guest can take an
appropriate action.
In addition, add support for the whole machinery needed to launch a
SNP guest, details of which is properly explained in each patch.
And last but not least, the series refactors and improves parts of the
previous SEV support so that the new code is accomodated properly and
not just bolted on"
