    x86/boot: Add Confidential Computing type to setup_data · 5ea98e01
    Brijesh Singh authored
    While launching encrypted guests, the hypervisor may need to provide
    some additional information during the guest boot. When booting under an
    EFI-based BIOS, the EFI configuration table contains an entry for the
    confidential computing blob that contains the required information.
    
    To support booting encrypted guests on non-EFI VMs, the hypervisor
    needs to pass this additional information to the guest kernel using a
    different method.
    
    For this purpose, introduce SETUP_CC_BLOB type in setup_data to hold
    the physical address of the confidential computing blob location. The
    boot loader or hypervisor may choose to use this method instead of an
    EFI configuration table. The CC blob location scanning should give
    preference to a setup_data blob over an EFI configuration table.
    
    In AMD SEV-SNP, the CC blob contains the address of the secrets and
    CPUID pages. The secrets page includes information such as a VM to PSP
    communication key and the CPUID page contains PSP-filtered CPUID values.
    Define the AMD SEV confidential computing blob structure.
    
    While at it, define the EFI GUID for the confidential computing blob.
