What it is

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

crypto: ccp - Do not initialize SNP for ioctl(SNP_CONFIG)

Sashiko notes:

Refuse to re-try initialization if SNP is not already initialized for

SNP_CONFIG.

This is technically an ABI break: before if SNP initialization failed it

could be transparently retriggered by this ioctl, and if no VMs were

running, everything worked fine. Hopefully this is enough of a corner case

that nobody will notice, but someone does, there are a few options:

* do something like symbol_get() for kvm and refuse to initialize if KVM is

loaded

* check each cpu's HSAVE_PA for non-zero data before re-initializing

* once initialization has failed, continue to refuse to initialize until

the ccp module is unloaded
