+10. KVM_SEV_GET_ATTESTATION_REPORT
+----------------------------------
+
+The KVM_SEV_GET_ATTESTATION_REPORT command can be used by the hypervisor to query the attestation
+report containing the SHA-256 digest of the guest memory and VMSA passed through the KVM_SEV_LAUNCH
+commands and signed with the PEK. The digest returned by the command should match the digest
+used by the guest owner with the KVM_SEV_LAUNCH_MEASURE.

+
+Valid bits in args[0] are::
+
+ #define KVM_BUS_LOCK_DETECTION_OFF (1 << 0)
+ #define KVM_BUS_LOCK_DETECTION_EXIT (1 << 1)
+
+Enabling this capability on a VM provides userspace with a way to select
+a policy to handle the bus locks detected in guest. Userspace can obtain
+the supported modes from the result of KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION and define it
+through the KVM_ENABLE_CAP.
+
+KVM_BUS_LOCK_DETECTION_OFF and KVM_BUS_LOCK_DETECTION_EXIT are supported
+currently and mutually exclusive with each other. More bits can be added in
+the future.
+
+With KVM_BUS_LOCK_DETECTION_OFF set, bus locks in guest will not cause vm exits
+so that no additional actions are needed. This is the default mode.
+
+With KVM_BUS_LOCK_DETECTION_EXIT set, vm exits happen when bus lock detected
+in VM. KVM just exits to userspace when handling them. Userspace can enforce
+its own throttling or other policy based mitigations.
+
+This capability is aimed to address the thread that VM can exploit bus locks to
+degree the performance of the whole system. Once the userspace enable this
+capability and select the KVM_BUS_LOCK_DETECTION_EXIT mode, KVM will set the
+KVM_RUN_BUS_LOCK flag in vcpu-run->flags field and exit to userspace. Concerning
+the bus lock vm exit can be preempted by a higher priority VM exit, the exit
+notifications to userspace can be KVM_EXIT_BUS_LOCK or other reasons.
