virt/coco/sev-guest: Add throttling awareness
A potentially malicious SEV guest can constantly hammer the hypervisor using this driver to send down requests and thus prevent or at least considerably hinder other guests from issuing requests to the secure processor which is a shared platform resource. Therefore, the host is permitted and encouraged to throttle such guest requests. Add the capability to handle the case when the hypervisor throttles excessive numbers of requests issued by the guest. Otherwise, the VM platform communication key will be disabled, preventing the guest from attesting itself. Realistically speaking, a well-behaved guest should not even care about throttling. During its lifetime, it would end up issuing a handful of requests which the hardware can easily handle. This is more to address the case of a malicious guest. Such guest should get throttled and if its VMPCK gets disabled, then that's its own wrongdoing and perhaps that guest even deserves it. To the implementation: the hypervisor signals with SNP_GUEST_REQ_ERR_BUSY that the guest requests should be throttled. That error code is returned in the upper 32-bit half of exitinfo2 and this is part of the GHCB spec v2. So the guest is given a throttling period of 1 minute in which it retries the request every 2 seconds. This is a good default but if it turns out to not pan out in practice, it can be tweaked later. For safety, since the encryption algorithm in GHCBv2 is AES_GCM, control must remain in the kernel to complete the request with the current sequence number. Returning without finishing the request allows the guest to make another request but with different message contents. This is IV reuse, and breaks cryptographic protections.
