Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] Improve error handling during INIT_EX file initialization

Currently the PSP initialization fails when the INIT_EX file is missing
or invalid, while the initialization continues when the OS fails to
write the INIT_EX file. This series handles both cases in a more robust
way by resolving the file read error as well as throwing the write error
to the caller.
---
Changelog since v1:
- refactor around __sev_init_ex_locked() and fix format.

crypto: ccp - Initialize PSP when reading psp data file failed
crypto: ccp - Fail the PSP initialization when writing psp data file
failed

Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] crypto: ccp - Fail the PSP initialization when writing psp data file failed

Currently the OS continues the PSP initialization when there is a write
failure to the init_ex_file. Therefore, the userspace would be told that
SEV is properly INIT'd even though the psp data file is not updated.
This is problematic because later when asked for the SEV data, the OS
won't be able to provide it.

Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] crypto: ccp - Initialize PSP when reading psp data file failed

Currently the OS fails the PSP initialization when the file specified at
'init_ex_path' does not exist or has invalid content. However the SEV
spec just requires users to allocate 32KB of 0xFF in the file, which can
be taken care of by the OS easily.

To improve the robustness during the PSP init, leverage the retry
mechanism and continue the init process:

Before the first INIT_EX call, if the content is invalid or missing,
continue the process by feeding those contents into PSP instead of
aborting. PSP will then override it with 32KB 0xFF and return
SEV_RET_SECURE_DATA_INVALID status code. In the second INIT_EX call,
this 32KB 0xFF content will then be fed and PSP will write the valid
data to the file.

In order to do this, sev_read_init_ex_file should only be called once
for the first INIT_EX call. Calling it again for the second INIT_EX call
will cause the invalid file content overwriting the valid 32KB 0xFF data
provided by PSP in the first INIT_EX call.

Changelog since v1:
- Add the message to indicate the possible file creation.
- Return 0 when the file does not exist in sev_read_init_ex_file().
- Move sev_read_init_ex_file() before the first call to INIT_EX.
- Rephrase the last paragraph of the commit message.

This change doesn't look necessary, but not worth having you submit a v3.
