Add support for Secure TSC in SNP-enabled guests. Secure TSC allows guests
to securely use RDTSC/RDTSCP instructions, ensuring that the parameters used
cannot be altered by the hypervisor once the guest is launched.
Secure TSC-enabled guests need to query TSC information from the AMD Security
Processor. This communication channel is encrypted between the AMD Security
Processor and the guest, with the hypervisor acting merely as a conduit to
deliver the guest messages to the AMD Security Processor. Each message is
protected with AEAD (AES-256 GCM).

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 reStructuredText 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.
