Commit

  7ffeb2fc2670 ("x86/sev: Document requirement for linear mapping of guest request buffers")

added a check that requires the guest request buffers to be in the linear
mapping. The get_derived_key() function was passing a buffer that was
allocated on the stack, resulting in the call to snp_send_guest_request()
returning an error.

Update the get_derived_key() function to use an allocated buffer instead
of a stack buffer.

Pull x86 SEV updates from Borislav Petkov:

 - Map the SNP calling area pages too so that OVMF EFI fw can issue SVSM
   calls properly with the goal of implementing EFI variable store in
   the SVSM - a component which is trusted by the guest, vs in the
   firmware, which is not

 - Allow the kernel to handle #VC exceptions from EFI runtime services
   properly when running as a SNP guest

 - Rework and cleanup the SNP guest request issue glue code a bit

<content type='text'>
In the past %pK was preferable to %p as it would not leak raw pointer
values into the kernel log.
Since commit ad67b74d2469 ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p")
the regular %p has been improved to avoid this issue.
Furthermore, restricted pointers ("%pK") were never meant to be used
through printk(). They can still unintentionally leak raw pointers or
acquire sleeping locks in atomic contexts.

Switch to the regular pointer formatting which is safer and
easier to reason about.

SNP Guest Request uses only exitinfo2 which is a return value from GHCB, has
meaning beyond ioctl and therefore belongs to struct snp_guest_req.

Move exitinfo2 there and remove snp_guest_request_ioctl from the SEV platform
code.

No functional change intended.

securityfs_remove() does take care of entire subtree now; no need
to mess with them individually.

NB: -&gt;i_op replacement in there is still buggy.  One shouldn't
ever modify -&gt;i_op of live accessible inode.

We used to need securityfs_remove() to undo simple_pin_fs() done when
the file had been created and to drop the second extra reference
taken at the same time.  Now that neither is needed (or done by
securityfs_remove()), we can simply call simple_unlink() and be done
with that - the broken games with locking had been there only for the
sake of securityfs_remove().
