Tom Lendacky 24be2b7956 KVM: SVM: Allow SNP guest policy to specify SINGLE_SOCKET
KVM currently returns -EINVAL when it attempts to create an SNP guest if
the SINGLE_SOCKET guest policy bit is set. The reason for this action is
that KVM would need specific support (SNP_ACTIVATE_EX command support) to
achieve this when running on a system with more than one socket. However,
the SEV firmware will make the proper check and return POLICY_FAILURE
during SNP_ACTIVATE if the single socket guest policy bit is set and the
system has more than one socket:

 - System with one socket
   - Guest policy SINGLE_SOCKET == 0 ==> SNP_ACTIVATE succeeds
   - Guest policy SINGLE_SOCKET == 1 ==> SNP_ACTIVATE succeeds

 - System with more than one socket
   - Guest policy SINGLE_SOCKET == 0 ==> SNP_ACTIVATE succeeds
   - Guest policy SINGLE_SOCKET == 1 ==> SNP_ACTIVATE fails with
     POLICY_FAILURE

Remove the check for the SINGLE_SOCKET policy bit from snp_launch_start()
and allow the firmware to perform the proper checking.

This does have the effect of allowing an SNP guest with the SINGLE_SOCKET
policy bit set to run on a single socket system, but fail when run on a
system with more than one socket. However, this should not affect existing
SNP guests as setting the SINGLE_SOCKET policy bit is not allowed today.

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.
