[PATCH V4] KVM, SEV: Add KVM_EXIT_SYSTEM_EVENT metadata for SEV-ES

From: Peter Gonda
Date: Tue Apr 05 2022 - 20:18:06 EST


SEV-ES guests can request termination using the GHCB's MSR protocol. See
AMD's GHCB spec section '4.1.13 Termination Request'. Currently when a
guest does this the userspace VMM sees an KVM_EXIT_UNKNOWN (-EVINAL)
return code from KVM_RUN. By adding a KVM_EXIT_SYSTEM_EVENT to kvm_run
struct the userspace VMM can clearly see the guest has requested a SEV-ES
termination including the termination reason code set and reason code.

V4
* Switch to using KVM_SYSTEM_EVENT exit reason.

V3
* Add Documentation/ update.
* Updated other KVM_EXIT_SHUTDOWN exits to clear ndata and set reason
to KVM_SHUTDOWN_REQ.

V2
* Add KVM_CAP_EXIT_SHUTDOWN_REASON check for KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION.

Tested by making an SEV-ES guest call sev_es_terminate() with hardcoded
reason code set and reason code and then observing the codes from the
userspace VMM in the kvm_run.system_event fields.
