SEV-SNP VMs can ask the hypervisor to change the page state in the RMP table to be private or shared using the Page State Change MSR protocol as defined in the GHCB specification. When using gmem, private/shared memory is allocated through separate pools, and KVM relies on userspace issuing a KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES KVM ioctl to tell the KVM MMU whether or not a particular GFN should be backed by private memory or not. Forward these page state change requests to userspace so that it can issue the expected KVM ioctls. The KVM MMU will handle updating the RMP entries when it is ready to map a private page into a guest. Use the existing KVM_HC_MAP_GPA_RANGE hypercall format to deliver these requests to userspace via KVM_EXIT_HYPERCALL.

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.
