[PATCH v10 17/41] KVM: SEV: Make 'uaddr' parameter optional for KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE

Also in: b4-sent, kvm, linux-coco, linux-doc, linux-kselftest, linux-mm, lkml
Subsystem: documentation, kernel virtual machine (kvm), kernel virtual machine for x86 (kvm/x86), the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Paolo Bonzini, Sean Christopherson, Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

From: Michael Roth <redacted>

Make the source page for populating an SNP guest_memfd instance optional
if in-place conversion/population is enabled.  If KVM can convert the page
in-place, then it's possible for guest memory to be initialized directly
from userspace by mmap()'ing the guest_memfd and writing to it while the
corresponding GPA ranges are in a 'shared' state, before converting them
to the 'private' state expected by KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE.

Update the handling/documentation for KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE to allow
for 'uaddr' to be set to NULL when in-place conversion is enabled, which
SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE will then use to determine when it should/shouldn't
copy in data from a separate memory location. Continue to enforce
non-NULL when PRIVATE is tracked per-VM, not per-guest_memfd.
