SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +=================================================================== +The Definitive SEV Guest API Documentation +=================================================================== + +1. General description +====================== + +The SEV API is a set of ioctls that are used by the guest or hypervisor +to get or set a certain aspect of the SEV virtual machine. The ioctls belong +to the following classes: + + - Hypervisor ioctls: These query and set global attributes which affect the + whole SEV firmware. These ioctl are used by platform provisioning tools. + + - Guest ioctls: These query and set attributes of the SEV virtual machine. + +2. API description +================== + +This section describes ioctls that is used for querying the SEV guest report +from the SEV firmware. For each ioctl, the following information is provided +along with a description: + + Technology: + which SEV technology provides this ioctl. SEV, SEV-ES, SEV-SNP or all. + + Type: + hypervisor or guest. The ioctl can be used inside the guest or the + hypervisor. + + Parameters: + what parameters are accepted by the ioctl. + + Returns: + the return value. General error numbers (-ENOMEM, -EINVAL) + are not detailed, but errors with specific meanings are. + +The guest ioctl should be issued on a file descriptor of the /dev/sev-guest device. +The ioctl accepts struct snp_user_guest_request. The input and output structure is +specified through the req_data and resp_data field respectively. If the ioctl fails +to execute due to a firmware error, then fw_err code will be set otherwise the +fw_err will be set to 0x00000000000000ff. + +The firmware checks that the message sequence counter is one greater than +the guests message sequence counter. If guest driver fails to increment message +counter (e.g. counter overflow), then -EIO will be returned. + +:: + + struct snp_guest_request_ioctl { + /* Message version number */ + __u32 msg_version; + + /* Request and response structure address */ + __u64 req_data; + __u64 resp_data; + + /* firmware error code on failure (see psp-sev.h) */ + __u64 fw_err; + }; + +2.1 SNP_GET_REPORT +------------------ + +:Technology: sev-snp +:Type: guest ioctl +:Parameters (in): struct snp_report_req +:Returns (out): struct snp_report_resp on success, -negative on error + +The SNP_GET_REPORT ioctl can be used to query the attestation report from the +SEV-SNP firmware. The ioctl uses the SNP_GUEST_REQUEST (MSG_REPORT_REQ) command +provided by the SEV-SNP firmware to query the attestation report. + +On success, the snp_report_resp.data will contains the report.
