Merge tag 'x86_sev_for_v6.9_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 SEV updates from Borislav Petkov:
- Add the x86 part of the SEV-SNP host support.
This will allow the kernel to be used as a KVM hypervisor capable of
running SNP (Secure Nested Paging) guests. Roughly speaking, SEV-SNP
is the ultimate goal of the AMD confidential computing side,
providing the most comprehensive confidential computing environment
up to date.
This is the x86 part and there is a KVM part which did not get ready
in time for the merge window so latter will be forthcoming in the
next cycle.
- Rework the early code's position-dependent SEV variable references in
order to allow building the kernel with clang and -fPIE/-fPIC and
-mcmodel=kernel
- The usual set of fixes, cleanups and improvements all over the place
