A key aspect of a launching an SNP guest is initializing it with a known/measured payload which is then encrypted into guest memory as pre-validated private pages and then measured into the cryptographic launch context created with KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_START so that the guest can attest itself after booting. Since all private pages are provided by guest_memfd, make use of the kvm_gmem_populate() interface to handle this. The general flow is that guest_memfd will handle allocating the pages associated with the GPA ranges being initialized by each particular call of KVM_SEV_SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE, copying data from userspace into those pages, and then the post_populate callback will do the work of setting the RMP entries for these pages to private and issuing the SNP firmware calls to encrypt/measure them. For more information see the SEV-SNP specification.

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.
