[pve-devel] [PATCH qemu-server v5 2/3] config: QEMU AMD SEV enable

This patch is for enabling AMD SEV (Secure Encrypted
Virtualization) support in QEMU

VM-Config-Examples:
amd_sev: type=std,nodbg=1,noks=1
amd_sev: es,nodbg=1,kernel-hashes=1

Node-Config-Example (gets generated automatically):
amd_sev: cbitpos=47,reduced-phys-bios=1

kernel-hashes, reduced-phys-bios & cbitpos correspond to the varibles
with the same name in qemu.

kernel-hashes=1 adds kernel-hashes to enable measured linux kernel
launch since it is per default off for backward compatibility.

reduced-phys-bios and cbitpos are system specific and are read out by
the amd-sev-support.service on boot and saved to the /run/amd-sev-params
file. This file is parsed and than used by qemu-server to correctly
start a AMD SEV VM.

type=std stands for standard sev to differentiate it from sev-es (es)
or sev-snp (snp) when support is upstream.

QEMU's sev-guest policy gets calculated with the parameters nodbg & noks
These parameters correspond to policy-bits 0 & 1.
If type is 'es' than policy-bit 2 gets set to 1 to activate SEV-ES.
Policy bit 3 (nosend) is always set to 1, because migration
features for sev are not upstream yet and are attackable.

SEV-ES is highly experimental since it could not be tested.

---
v5:
* parse /run/amd-sev-params for hardware parameters
* removed NodeConfig dependency
* only disallow live-migration and snapshots with vmstate
  -> allow offline migration and snapshots without vmstate

v4:
* reduced lines of code
* added text that SEV-ES is experimental
