An SEV-ES guest is started by invoking a new SEV initialization ioctl, KVM_SEV_ES_INIT. This identifies the guest as an SEV-ES guest, which is used to drive the appropriate ASID allocation, VMSA encryption, etc. Before being able to run an SEV-ES vCPU, the vCPU VMSA must be encrypted and measured. This is done using the LAUNCH_UPDATE_VMSA command after all calls to LAUNCH_UPDATE_DATA have been performed, but before LAUNCH_MEASURE has been performed. In order to establish the encrypted VMSA, the current (traditional) VMSA and the GPRs are synced to the page that will hold the encrypted VMSA and then LAUNCH_UPDATE_VMSA is invoked. The vCPU is then marked as having protected guest state.

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.
