SEV-SNP builds upon existing SEV and SEV-ES functionality while adding new hardware-based memory protections. SEV-SNP adds strong memory integrity protection to help prevent malicious hypervisor-based attacks like data replay, memory re-mapping and more in order to create an isolated memory encryption environment. The patches to support the SEV-SNP in Linux kernel and OVMF are available: https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20210707181506.30489-1-brijesh.singh@xxxxxxx/ https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20210707183616.5620-1-brijesh.singh@xxxxxxx/ https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/77335?p=,,,20,0,0,0::Created,,posterid%3A5969970,20,2,20,83891508 The Qemu patches uses the command id added by the SEV-SNP hypervisor patches to bootstrap the SEV-SNP VMs. TODO: * Add support to filter CPUID values through the PSP.
