[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH v1 00/12] Add SEV guest live migration support

[Singh, Brijesh]

AMD SEV encrypts the memory of VMs and because this encryption is done using
an address tweak, the hypervisor will not be able to simply copy ciphertext
between machines to migrate a VM. Instead the AMD SEV Key Management API
provides a set of functions which the hypervisor can use to package a
guest encrypted pages for migration, while maintaining the confidentiality
provided by AMD SEV.

The patch series add the support required in Qemu to perform the SEV
guest live migration. Before initiating the live migration a user
should use newly added 'migrate-set-sev-info' command to pass the
target machines certificate chain. See the docs/amd-memory-encryption.txt
for further details.

The patch series depends on kernel patches available here:
