Tom Lendacky and Brijesh Singh reported two issues with launching SEV
guests with the -kernel QEMU option when an old [1] or wrongly configured [2]
OVMF images are used.
To fix these issues, these series "hides" the whole kernel hashes
additions behind a kernel-hashes=on option (with default value of
"off"). This allows existing scenarios to work without change, and
explicitly forces kernel hashes additions for guests that require that.
Patch 1 introduces a new boolean option "kernel-hashes" on the sev-guest
object, and patch 2 causes QEMU to add kernel hashes only if its
explicitly set to "on". This will mitigate both experienced issues
because the default of the new setting is off, and therefore is backward
compatible with older OVMF images (which don't have a designated hashes
table area) or with guests that don't wish to measure the kernel/initrd.
Patch 3 fixes the wording on the error message displayed when no hashes
table is found in the guest firmware.
Patch 4 detects incorrect address and length of the guest firmware
hashes table area and fails the boot.
Patch 5 is a refactoring of parts of the same function
sev_add_kernel_loader_hashes() to calculate all padding sizes at
compile-time. Patch 6 also changes the same function and replaces the
call to qemu_map_ram_ptr() with address_space_map() to allow for error
detection. Patches 5-6 are not required to fix the issues above, but
are suggested as an improvement (no functional change intended).
To enable addition of kernel/initrd/cmdline hashes into the SEV guest at
launch time, specify:
qemu-system-x86_64 ... -object sev-guest,...,kernel-hashes=on

Changes in v2:
- Instead of trying to figure out whether to add hashes or not,
explicity declare an option (kernel-hashes=on) for that. When that
option is turned on, fail if the hashes cannot be added.
- Rephrase error message when no hashes table GUID is found.
- Replace qemu_map_ram_ptr with address_space_map
