The run sequence is different for an SEV-ES guest compared to a legacy or even an SEV guest. The guest vCPU register state of an SEV-ES guest will be restored on VMRUN and saved on VMEXIT. There is no need to restore the guest registers directly and through VMLOAD before VMRUN and no need to save the guest registers directly and through VMSAVE on VMEXIT. Update the svm_vcpu_run() function to skip register state saving and restoring and provide an alternative function for running an SEV-ES guest in vmenter.S Additionally, certain host state is restored across an SEV-ES VMRUN. As a result certain register states are not required to be restored upon VMEXIT (e.g. FS, GS, etc.), so only do that if the guest is not an SEV-ES guest.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
