4.109 KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_OP
Capability: basic
Architectures: x86
Type: system
Parameters: an opaque platform specific structure (in/out)
Returns: 0 on success; -1 on error
If the platform supports creating encrypted VMs then this ioctl can be used
for issuing platform-specific memory encryption commands to manage those
encrypted VMs.
Currently, this ioctl is used for issuing Secure Encrypted Virtualization
(SEV) commands on AMD Processors. The SEV commands are defined in
Documentation/virtual/kvm/amd-memory-encryption.txt.
