Note that I am sending this during the merge window due to the high
level of interest. My current expectation, barring major review
concerns, is that this intercepts Linux-next soon after v6.6-rc1 for a
v6.7 merge. Given the switch to configfs I did not carry forward
Reviewed-by's from v2.

Changes since v2 [1]:
- Switch from sysfs to configfs to scale the interface for containers
  (Jeremi)
- Fix locking in outblob_read() to avoid racing freeing and generation
  of ->outblob (Jeremi)
- Add missing mutex to sev_report_new() (Jeremi)
- Fix incorrect usage of no_free_ptr(), switch to return_ptr() (Peter)
- Drop hex input parsing (configfs bin attributes are not seekable which
  eliminates the concern) (Greg)
- Note why DEFINE_FREE() for kvfree() includes a NULL check (Greg)
- Document the permissible values of privlevel in the ABI documentation
  (Greg)
- Bump column limit to 100 for sev-guest changes, since that's existing
  code, for tsm.c use the .clang_format default. (Tom)
- Drop report buffer size to 4K (Tom)
- Fix uninitialized variable @rc in register_tsm() (Tom)
- Fix collision detection confusion, always increment write_generation
  on successful write regardless if old data is being re-written (Tom)
- Switch to sockptr_t for sharing {get,get_ext}_report() between the
  ioctl and configfs paths (Andy)

An attestation report is signed evidence of how a Trusted Virtual
Machine (TVM) was launched and its current state. A verifying party uses
the report to make judgements of the confidentiality and integrity of
that execution environment. Upon successful attestation the verifying
party may, for example, proceed to deploy secrets to the TVM to carry
out a workload. Multiple confidential computing platforms share this
similar flow.

The approach of adding adding new char devs and new ioctls, for what
amounts to the same logical functionality with minor formatting
differences across vendors [2], is untenable. Common concepts and the
community benefit from common infrastructure. 
 
Use configfs for this facility for maintainability compared to ioctl(),
and for its scalability compared to sysfs. Atomicity can be enforced at
item creation time, and a conflict detection mechanism is included for
scenarios where multiple threads may share a single configuration
instance.
