[PATCH] i386/sev: Don't allow automatic fallback to legacy KVM_SEV*_INIT


From: Michael Roth
Subject: [PATCH] i386/sev: Don't allow automatic fallback to legacy KVM_SEV*_INIT
Date: Wed, 3 Jul 2024 19:00:19 -0500

Currently if the 'legacy-vm-type' property of the sev-guest object is
left unset, QEMU will attempt to use the newer KVM_SEV_INIT2 kernel
interface in conjunction with the newer KVM_X86_SEV_VM and
KVM_X86_SEV_ES_VM KVM VM types.

This can lead to measurement changes if, for instance, an SEV guest was
created on a host that originally had an older kernel that didn't
support KVM_SEV_INIT2, but is booted on the same host later on after the
host kernel was upgraded.
