The hypervisor can enable various new features (SEV_FEATURES[1:63]) and start a
SNP guest. Some of these features need guest side implementation. If any of
these features are enabled without it, the behavior of the SNP guest will be
undefined.  It may fail booting in a non-obvious way making it difficult to
debug.

Instead of allowing the guest to continue and have it fail randomly later,
detect this early and fail gracefully.

The SEV_STATUS MSR indicates features which the hypervisor has enabled.  While
booting, SNP guests should ascertain that all the enabled features have guest
side implementation. In case a feature is not implemented in the guest, the
guest terminates booting with GHCB protocol Non-Automatic Exit(NAE) termination
request event, see "SEV-ES Guest-Hypervisor Communication Block Standardization"
document (currently at https://developer.amd.com/wp-content/resources/56421.pdf),
section "Termination Request".

Populate SW_EXITINFO2 with mask of unsupported features that the hypervisor can
easily report to the user.

More details in the AMD64 APM Vol 2, Section "SEV_STATUS MSR".

  [ bp:
    - Massage.
    - Move snp_check_features() call to C code.
    Note: the CC:stable@ aspect here is to be able to protect older, stable
    kernels when running on newer hypervisors. Or not "running" but fail
    reliably and in a well-defined manner instead of randomly. ]

TDX guest driver exposes IOCTL interfaces to service TDX guest
user-specific requests. Currently, it is only used to allow the user to
get the TDREPORT to support TDX attestation.

Details about the TDX attestation process are documented in
Documentation/x86/tdx.rst, and the IOCTL details are documented in
Documentation/virt/coco/tdx-guest.rst.

Operations like getting TDREPORT involves sending a blob of data as
input and getting another blob of data as output. It was considered
to use a sysfs interface for this, but it doesn't fit well into the
standard sysfs model for configuring values. It would be possible to
do read/write on files, but it would need multiple file descriptors,
which would be somewhat messy. IOCTLs seem to be the best fitting
and simplest model for this use case. The AMD sev-guest driver also
uses the IOCTL interface to support attestation.

barebox[1], a bootloader for mostly ARM and MIPS embedded systems, can
also be built as EFI payload for x86[2] to provide redundant power-fail
safe, watchdog-supervised boot up.

Since its v2015.09.0 release, it has been booting Linux on x86 with
type_of_loader=0xff[3]. Reserve 13, the next free id, so that can be
used instead in the future.

started tainting the kernel after microcode late loading.

There is some history behind why x86 microcode started doing the late
loading stop_machine() rendezvous. Document the whole situation.

No functional changes.

Pull x86 SGX updates from Dave Hansen:
 "A set of x86/sgx changes focused on implementing the "SGX2" features,
  plus a minor cleanup:

   - SGX2 ISA support which makes enclave memory management much more
     dynamic. For instance, enclaves can now change enclave page
     permissions on the fly.

   - Removal of an unused structure member"

Pull efivars sysfs interface removal from Ard Biesheuvel:
 "Remove the obsolete 'efivars' sysfs based interface to the EFI
  variable store, now that all users have moved to the efivarfs pseudo
  file system, which was created ~10 years ago to address some
  fundamental shortcomings in the sysfs based driver.

  Move the 'business logic' related to which EFI variables are important
  and may affect the boot flow from the efivars support layer into the
  efivarfs pseudo file system, so it is no longer exposed to other parts
  of the kernel"

  efi: vars: Move efivar caching layer into efivarfs
  efi: vars: Switch to new wrapper layer
  efi: vars: Remove deprecated 'efivars' sysfs interface
