Validation of the GHCB is susceptible to time-of-check/time-of-use vulnerabilities.
To avoid them, we would like to always snapshot the fields that are read in
sev_es_validate_vmgexit(), and not use the GHCB anymore after it returns.
This means:
- invoking sev_es_sync_from_ghcb() before any GHCB access, including before
sev_es_validate_vmgexit()
- snapshotting all fields including the valid bitmap and the sw_scratch field,
which are currently not caching anywhere.
The valid bitmap is the first thing to be copied out of the GHCB; then,
further accesses will use the copy in svm->sev_es.

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.
