drm/amd/display: Try RGB before YCbCr 4:4:4 in stream validationgrafted
amdgpu_dm_create_validate_stream_for_sink() walks encoding_order[] and uses the first encoding that validates. YCbCr 4:4:4 is listed before RGB, so an HDMI sink that advertises 4:4:4 gets YCbCr 4:4:4 whenever the "color format" property is left at AUTO, even though RGB fits the same link. That contradicts the documented AUTO behaviour for HDMI in enum drm_connector_color_format (RGB, falling back to YCbCr 4:2:0 only when the bandwidth is not available or the mode is 4:2:0-only), which the amdgpu implementation of the property also describes. It also leaves the "Broadcast RGB" property without effect on such sinks, since the quantization range it selects only applies to RGB output. Try RGB first. The mask still holds every encoding the sink supports, so a mode that cannot carry RGB falls back exactly as before. For reference, v7.2 picked RGB here unless YCbCr 4:4:4 was forced through debugfs, while earlier kernels picked YCbCr 4:4:4 for any HDMI sink that advertised it.

+The Definitive SEV Guest API Documentation
+===================================================================
+
+1. General description
+======================
+
+The SEV API is a set of ioctls that are used by the guest or hypervisor
+to get or set a certain aspect of the SEV virtual machine. The ioctls belong
+to the following classes:
+
+ - Hypervisor ioctls: These query and set global attributes which affect the
+ whole SEV firmware. These ioctl are used by platform provisioning tools.
+
+ - Guest ioctls: These query and set attributes of the SEV virtual machine.
+
+2. API description
+==================
+
+This section describes ioctls that is used for querying the SEV guest report
+from the SEV firmware. For each ioctl, the following information is provided
+along with a description:
+
+ Technology:
+ which SEV technology provides this ioctl. SEV, SEV-ES, SEV-SNP or all.
+
+ Type:
+ hypervisor or guest. The ioctl can be used inside the guest or the
+ hypervisor.
+
+ Parameters:
+ what parameters are accepted by the ioctl.
+
+ Returns:
+ the return value. General error numbers (-ENOMEM, -EINVAL)
+ are not detailed, but errors with specific meanings are.
+
+The guest ioctl should be issued on a file descriptor of the /dev/sev-guest
+device. The ioctl accepts struct snp_user_guest_request. The input and
+output structure is specified through the req_data and resp_data field
+respectively. If the ioctl fails to execute due to a firmware error, then
+the fw_error code will be set, otherwise fw_error will be set to -1.
+
+The firmware checks that the message sequence counter is one greater than
+the guests message sequence counter. If guest driver fails to increment message
+counter (e.g. counter overflow), then -EIO will be returned.
+
+::
+
+ struct snp_guest_request_ioctl {
+ /* Message version number */
+ __u32 msg_version;
+
+ /* Request and response structure address */
+ __u64 req_data;
+ __u64 resp_data;
+
+ /* bits[63:32]: VMM error code, bits[31:0] firmware error code (see psp-sev.h) */
+ union {
+ __u64 exitinfo2;
+ struct {
+ __u32 fw_error;
+ __u32 vmm_error;
+ };
+ };
+ };
+
+The host ioctls are issued to a file descriptor of the /dev/sev device.
+The ioctl accepts the command ID/input structure documented below.
+
+::
+
+ struct sev_issue_cmd {
+ /* Command ID */
+ __u32 cmd;
+
+ /* Command request structure */
+ __u64 data;
+
+ /* Firmware error code on failure (see psp-sev.h) */
+ __u32 error;
+ };
+
+
+2.1 SNP_GET_REPORT
+------------------
+
+:Technology: sev-snp
+:Type: guest ioctl
+:Parameters (in): struct snp_report_req
+:Returns (out): struct snp_report_resp on success, -negative on error
+
+The SNP_GET_REPORT ioctl can be used to query the attestation report from the
+SEV-SNP firmware. The ioctl uses the SNP_GUEST_REQUEST (MSG_REPORT_REQ) command
+provided by the SEV-SNP firmware to query the attestation report.
+
+On success, the snp_report_resp.data will contains the report. The report
+contain the format described in the SEV-SNP specification. See the SEV-SNP
+specification for further details.
+
+2.2 SNP_GET_DERIVED_KEY
+-----------------------
+:Technology: sev-snp
+:Type: guest ioctl
+:Parameters (in): struct snp_derived_key_req
+:Returns (out): struct snp_derived_key_resp on success, -negative on error
+
+The SNP_GET_DERIVED_KEY ioctl can be used to get a key derive from a root key.
+The derived key can be used by the guest for any purpose, such as sealing keys
+or communicating with external entities.
+
+The ioctl uses the SNP_GUEST_REQUEST (MSG_KEY_REQ) command provided by the
+SEV-SNP firmware to derive the key. See SEV-SNP specification for further details
+on the various fields passed in the key derivation request.
+
+On success, the snp_derived_key_resp.data contains the derived key value. See
+the SEV-SNP specification for further details.
+
+
+2.3 SNP_GET_EXT_REPORT
+----------------------
+:Technology: sev-snp
+:Type: guest ioctl
+:Parameters (in/out): struct snp_ext_report_req
+:Returns (out): struct snp_report_resp on success, -negative on error
+
+The SNP_GET_EXT_REPORT ioctl is similar to the SNP_GET_REPORT. The difference is
+related to the additional certificate data that is returned with the report.
+The certificate data returned is being provided by the hypervisor through the
+SNP_SET_EXT_CONFIG.
+
+The ioctl uses the SNP_GUEST_REQUEST (MSG_REPORT_REQ) command provided by the SEV-SNP
+firmware to get the attestation report.
+
+On success, the snp_ext_report_resp.data will contain the attestation report
+and snp_ext_report_req.certs_address will contain the certificate blob. If the
+length of the blob is smaller than expected then snp_ext_report_req.certs_len will
+be updated with the expected value.
+
+See GHCB specification for further detail on how to parse the certificate blob.
+
+2.4 SNP_PLATFORM_STATUS
+-----------------------
+:Technology: sev-snp
+:Type: hypervisor ioctl cmd
+:Parameters (out): struct sev_user_data_snp_status
+:Returns (out): 0 on success, -negative on error
+
+The SNP_PLATFORM_STATUS command is used to query the SNP platform status. The
+status includes API major, minor version and more. See the SEV-SNP
+specification for further details.
+
+2.5 SNP_COMMIT
+--------------
+:Technology: sev-snp
+:Type: hypervisor ioctl cmd
+:Returns (out): 0 on success, -negative on error
+
+SNP_COMMIT is used to commit the currently installed firmware using the
+SEV-SNP firmware SNP_COMMIT command. This prevents roll-back to a previously
+committed firmware version. This will also update the reported TCB to match
+that of the currently installed firmware.
+
+2.6 SNP_SET_CONFIG
+------------------
+:Technology: sev-snp
+:Type: hypervisor ioctl cmd
+:Parameters (in): struct sev_user_data_snp_config
+:Returns (out): 0 on success, -negative on error
+
+SNP_SET_CONFIG is used to set the system-wide configuration such as
+reported TCB version in the attestation report. The command is similar
+to SNP_CONFIG command defined in the SEV-SNP spec. The current values of
+the firmware parameters affected by this command can be queried via
+SNP_PLATFORM_STATUS.
+
+2.7 SNP_VLEK_LOAD
+-----------------
+:Technology: sev-snp
+:Type: hypervisor ioctl cmd
+:Parameters (in): struct sev_user_data_snp_vlek_load
+:Returns (out): 0 on success, -negative on error
+
+When requesting an attestation report a guest is able to specify whether
+it wants SNP firmware to sign the report using either a Versioned Chip
+Endorsement Key (VCEK), which is derived from chip-unique secrets, or a
+Versioned Loaded Endorsement Key (VLEK) which is obtained from an AMD
+Key Derivation Service (KDS) and derived from seeds allocated to
+enrolled cloud service providers.
+
+In the case of VLEK keys, the SNP_VLEK_LOAD SNP command is used to load
+them into the system after obtaining them from the KDS, and corresponds
+closely to the SNP_VLEK_LOAD firmware command specified in the SEV-SNP
+spec.
+
+3. SEV-SNP CPUID Enforcement
+============================
+
+SEV-SNP guests can access a special page that contains a table of CPUID values
+that have been validated by the PSP as part of the SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE firmware
+command. It provides the following assurances regarding the validity of CPUID
+values:
+
+ - Its address is obtained via bootloader/firmware (via CC blob), and those
+ binaries will be measured as part of the SEV-SNP attestation report.
+ - Its initial state will be encrypted/pvalidated, so attempts to modify
+ it during run-time will result in garbage being written, or #VC exceptions
+ being generated due to changes in validation state if the hypervisor tries
+ to swap the backing page.
+ - Attempts to bypass PSP checks by the hypervisor by using a normal page, or
+ a non-CPUID encrypted page will change the measurement provided by the
+ SEV-SNP attestation report.
+ - The CPUID page contents are *not* measured, but attempts to modify the
+ expected contents of a CPUID page as part of guest initialization will be
+ gated by the PSP CPUID enforcement policy checks performed on the page
+ during SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE, and noticeable later if the guest owner
+ implements their own checks of the CPUID values.
+
+It is important to note that this last assurance is only useful if the kernel
+has taken care to make use of the SEV-SNP CPUID throughout all stages of boot.
+Otherwise, guest owner attestation provides no assurance that the kernel wasn't
+fed incorrect values at some point during boot.
+
+4. SEV Guest Driver Communication Key
+=====================================
+
+Communication between an SEV guest and the SEV firmware in the AMD Secure
+Processor (ASP, aka PSP) is protected by a VM Platform Communication Key
+(VMPCK). By default, the sev-guest driver uses the VMPCK associated with the
+VM Privilege Level (VMPL) at which the guest is running. Should this key be
+wiped by the sev-guest driver (see the driver for reasons why a VMPCK can be
+wiped), a different key can be used by reloading the sev-guest driver and
+specifying the desired key using the vmpck_id module parameter.

+TDX Guest API Documentation
+===================================================================
+
+1. General description
+======================
+
+The TDX guest driver exposes IOCTL interfaces via the /dev/tdx-guest misc
+device to allow userspace to get certain TDX guest-specific details.
+
+2. API description
+==================
+
+In this section, for each supported IOCTL, the following information is
+provided along with a generic description.
+
+:Input parameters: Parameters passed to the IOCTL and related details.
+:Output: Details about output data and return value (with details about
+ the non common error values).
+
+2.1 TDX_CMD_GET_REPORT0
+-----------------------
+
+:Input parameters: struct tdx_report_req
+:Output: Upon successful execution, TDREPORT data is copied to
+ tdx_report_req.tdreport and return 0. Return -EINVAL for invalid
+ operands, -EIO on TDCALL failure or standard error number on other
+ common failures.
+
+The TDX_CMD_GET_REPORT0 IOCTL can be used by the attestation software to get
+the TDREPORT0 (a.k.a. TDREPORT subtype 0) from the TDX module using
+TDCALL[TDG.MR.REPORT].
+
+A subtype index is added at the end of this IOCTL CMD to uniquely identify the
+subtype-specific TDREPORT request. Although the subtype option is mentioned in
+the TDX Module v1.0 specification, section titled "TDG.MR.REPORT", it is not
+currently used, and it expects this value to be 0. So to keep the IOCTL
+implementation simple, the subtype option was not included as part of the input
+ABI. However, in the future, if the TDX Module supports more than one subtype,
+a new IOCTL CMD will be created to handle it. To keep the IOCTL naming
+consistent, a subtype index is added as part of the IOCTL CMD.
