The SEV FW version >= 0.23 added a new command that can be used to query
the attestation report containing the SHA-256 digest of the guest memory
encrypted through the KVM_SEV_LAUNCH_UPDATE_{DATA, VMSA} commands and
sign the report with the Platform Endorsement Key (PEK).
See the SEV FW API spec section 6.8 for more details.
Note there already exist a command (KVM_SEV_LAUNCH_MEASURE) that can be
used to get the SHA-256 digest. The main difference between the
KVM_SEV_LAUNCH_MEASURE and KVM_SEV_ATTESTATION_REPORT is that the latter
can be called while the guest is running and the measurement value is
signed with PEK.

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.
