KVM: x86: Add capability to grant VM access to privileged SGX attribute
Add a capability, KVM_CAP_SGX_ATTRIBUTE, that can be used by userspace
to grant a VM access to a priveleged attribute, with args[0] holding a
file handle to a valid SGX attribute file.

The SGX subsystem restricts access to a subset of enclave attributes to
provide additional security for an uncompromised kernel, e.g. to prevent
malware from using the PROVISIONKEY to ensure its nodes are running
inside a geniune SGX enclave and/or to obtain a stable fingerprint.

To prevent userspace from circumventing such restrictions by running an
enclave in a VM, KVM restricts guest access to privileged attributes by
default.

7.25 KVM_CAP_SGX_ATTRIBUTE
----------------------

:Architectures: x86
:Target: VM
:Parameters: args[0] is a file handle of a SGX attribute file in securityfs
:Returns: 0 on success, -EINVAL if the file handle is invalid or if a requested
attribute is not supported by KVM.

KVM_CAP_SGX_ATTRIBUTE enables a userspace VMM to grant a VM access to one or
more priveleged enclave attributes. args[0] must hold a file handle to a valid
SGX attribute file corresponding to an attribute that is supported/restricted
by KVM (currently only PROVISIONKEY).

The SGX subsystem restricts access to a subset of enclave attributes to provide
additional security for an uncompromised kernel, e.g. use of the PROVISIONKEY
is restricted to deter malware from using the PROVISIONKEY to obtain a stable
system fingerprint. To prevent userspace from circumventing such restrictions
by running an enclave in a VM, KVM prevents access to privileged attributes by
default.

See Documentation/x86/sgx/2.Kernel-internals.rst for more details.
