    SEV: disable SEV-ES DebugSwap by default · 5abf6dce
    Paolo Bonzini authored
    The DebugSwap feature of SEV-ES provides a way for confidential guests to use
    data breakpoints.  However, because the status of the DebugSwap feature is
    recorded in the VMSA, enabling it by default invalidates the attestation
    signatures.  In 6.10 we will introduce a new API to create SEV VMs that
    will allow enabling DebugSwap based on what the user tells KVM to do.
    Contextually, we will change the legacy KVM_SEV_ES_INIT API to never
    enable DebugSwap.
    
    For compatibility with kernels that pre-date the introduction of DebugSwap,
    as well as with those where KVM_SEV_ES_INIT will never enable it, do not enable
    the feature by default.  If anybody wants to use it, for now they can enable
    the sev_es_debug_swap_enabled module parameter, but this will result in a
    warning.
