+ kvm-amd.ciphertext_hiding_asids=
+ [KVM,AMD] Ciphertext hiding prevents disallowed accesses
+ to SNP private memory from reading ciphertext. Instead,
+ reads will see constant default values (0xff).
+
+ If ciphertext hiding is enabled, the joint SEV-ES and
+ SEV-SNP ASID space is partitioned into separate SEV-ES
+ and SEV-SNP ASID ranges, with the SEV-SNP range being
+ [1..max_snp_asid] and the SEV-ES range being
+ (max_snp_asid..min_sev_asid), where min_sev_asid is
+ enumerated by CPUID.0x.8000_001F[EDX].
+
+ A non-zero value enables SEV-SNP ciphertext hiding and
+ adjusts the ASID ranges for SEV-ES and SEV-SNP guests.
+ KVM caps the number of SEV-SNP ASIDs at the maximum
+ possible value, e.g. specifying -1u will assign all
+ joint SEV-ES and SEV-SNP ASIDs to SEV-SNP. Note,
+ assigning all joint ASIDs to SEV-SNP, i.e. configuring
+ max_snp_asid == min_sev_asid-1, will effectively make
+ SEV-ES unusable.
