[PATCH kernel v4 3/3] x86/sev: Do not handle #VC for DR7 read/write

From: Alexey Kardashevskiy
Date: Sun Jan 29 2023 - 19:58:24 EST


With MSR_AMD64_SEV_DEBUG_SWAP enabled, the VM should not get #VC
events for DR7 read/write which it rather avoided.

Update the SNP_FEATURES_PRESENT mask with MSR_AMD64_SNP_DEBUG_SWAP so
an SNP guest can gracefully terminate during SNP feature negotiation.
For SEV-ES (which does not negotiate features) and enabled DebugSwap,
fail to handle DR7's #VC and return en error which in turn causes
panic() as there is no goot reason for the HV to keep intercepting DR7.

1/3 and 2/3 are the same as in v3 and fairly independent from this one.

The question now is what should SNP-feature-negotiation-aware guest do
when KVM enables DebugSwap.

"x86/sev: Add SEV-SNP guest feature negotiation support" is going to
reach the upstream long before any of these three from this thread.

It does not matter now as there is no SNP in upstream KVM.

Changes:
v4:
* rebased on top of SNP feature negotiation

v2:
* use new bit definition
