For SEV-ES guests, the interception of EFER write access is not recommended. EFER interception occurs prior to EFER being modified and the hypervisor is unable to modify EFER itself because the register is located in the encrypted register state. SEV-ES support introduces a new EFER write trap. This trap provides intercept support of an EFER write after it has been modified. The new EFER value is provided in the VMCB EXITINFO1 field, allowing the hypervisor to track the setting of the guest EFER. Add support to track the value of the guest EFER value using the EFER write trap so that the hypervisor understands the guest operating mode.

README
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.
