@@ -247,3 +247,22 @@ The multifd VFIO device state transfer is controlled by
 "x-migration-multifd-transfer" VFIO device property. This property defaults to
 AUTO, which means that VFIO device state transfer via multifd channels is
 attempted in configurations that otherwise support it.
+
+Since the target QEMU needs to load device state buffers in-order it needs to
+queue incoming buffers until they can be loaded into the device.
+This means that a malicious QEMU source could theoretically cause the target
+QEMU to allocate unlimited amounts of memory for such buffers-in-flight.
+
+The "x-migration-max-queued-buffers-size" property allows capping the total size
+of these VFIO device state buffers queued at the destination.
+
+Because a malicious QEMU source causing OOM on the target is not expected to be
+a realistic threat in most of VFIO live migration use cases and the right value
+depends on the particular setup by default this queued buffers size limit is
+disabled by setting it to UINT64_MAX.
+
+Some host platforms (like ARM64) require that VFIO device config is loaded only
+after all iterables were loaded, during non-iterables loading phase.
+Such interlocking is controlled by "x-migration-load-config-after-iter" VFIO
+device property, which in its default setting (AUTO) does so only on platforms
+that actually require it.

 Headings and subheadings
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
-A free-form documentation comment containing a line which starts with
-some ``=`` symbols and then a space defines a section heading::
+Free-form documentation does not start with ``@SYMBOL`` and can contain
+arbitrary rST markup. Headings can be marked up using the standard rST
+syntax::
 
     ##
-    # = This is a top level heading
+    # *************************
+    # This is a level 2 heading
+    # *************************
     #
     # This is a free-form comment which will go under the
     # top level heading.

+    # ^^^^^^^
+    #
+    # Level 6
+    # """""""
     ##
 
-A heading line must be the first line of the documentation
-comment block.
-
-Section headings must always be correctly nested, so you can only
-define a third-level heading inside a second-level heading, and so on.
+Level 1 headings are reserved for use by the generated documentation
+page itself, leaving level 2 as the highest level that should be used.

-qapidoc is a Sphinx extension that implements the qapi-doc directive
-
-The purpose of this extension is to read the documentation comments
-in QAPI schema files, and insert them all into the current document.
-
-It implements one new rST directive, "qapi-doc::".
-Each qapi-doc:: directive takes one argument, which is the
-pathname of the schema file to process, relative to the source tree.
-
-The docs/conf.py file must set the qapidoc_srctree config value to
-the root of the QEMU source tree.
-
-The Sphinx documentation on writing extensions is at:

+Independent Guest Virtual Machine (IGVM) support
+================================================
+
+IGVM files are designed to encapsulate all the information required to launch a
+virtual machine on any given virtualization stack in a deterministic way. This
+allows the cryptographic measurement of initial guest state for Confidential
+Guests to be calculated when the IGVM file is built, allowing a relying party to
+verify the initial state of a guest via a remote attestation.
+
+Although IGVM files are designed with Confidential Computing in mind, they can
+also be used to configure non-confidential guests. Multiple platforms can be
+defined by a single IGVM file, allowing a single IGVM file to configure a
+virtual machine that can run on, for example, TDX, SEV and non-confidential
+hosts.
+
+QEMU supports IGVM files through the user-creatable ``igvm-cfg`` object. This
+object is used to define the filename of the IGVM file to process. A reference
+to the object is added to the ``-machine`` to configure the virtual machine
+to use the IGVM file for configuration.
+
+Confidential platform support is provided through the use of
+the ``ConfidentialGuestSupport`` object. If the virtual machine provides an
+instance of this object then this is used by the IGVM loader to configure the
+isolation properties of the directives within the file.
+
+Further Information on IGVM
+---------------------------
+
+Information about the IGVM format, including links to the format specification
+and documentation for the Rust and C libraries can be found at the project
+repository:
+
+https://github.com/microsoft/igvm
+
+
+Supported Platforms
+-------------------
+
+Currently, IGVM files can be provided for Confidential Guests on host systems
+that support AMD SEV, SEV-ES and SEV-SNP with KVM. IGVM files can also be
+provided for non-confidential guests.
+
+
+Limitations when using IGVM with AMD SEV, SEV-ES and SEV-SNP
+------------------------------------------------------------
+
+IGVM files configure the initial state of the guest using a set of directives.
+Not every directive is supported by every Confidential Guest type. For example,
+AMD SEV does not support encrypted save state regions, therefore setting the
+initial CPU state using IGVM for SEV is not possible. When an IGVM file contains
+directives that are not supported for the active platform, an error is generated
+and the guest launch is aborted.
+
+The table below describes the list of directives that are supported for SEV,
+SEV-ES, SEV-SNP and non-confidential platforms.

+     - Setting of the initial CPU state for the boot CPU and additional CPUs is
+       supported with limitations on the fields that can be provided in the
+       VMSA. See below for details on which fields are supported.
+
+Initial CPU state with VMSA
+---------------------------
+
+The initial state of guest CPUs can be defined in the IGVM file for AMD SEV-ES
+and SEV-SNP. The state data is provided as a VMSA structure as defined in Table
+B-4 in the AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual, Volume 2 [1].
+
+The IGVM VMSA is translated to CPU state in QEMU which is then synchronized
+by KVM to the guest VMSA during the launch process where it contributes to the
+launch measurement. See :ref:`amd-sev` for details on the launch process and
+guest launch measurement.
+
+It is important that no information is lost or changed when translating the
+VMSA provided by the IGVM file into the VSMA that is used to launch the guest.
+Therefore, QEMU restricts the VMSA fields that can be provided in the IGVM
+VMSA structure to the following registers:
+
+RAX, RCX, RDX, RBX, RBP, RSI, RDI, R8-R15, RSP, RIP, CS, DS, ES, FS, GS, SS,
+CR0, CR3, CR4, XCR0, EFER, PAT, GDT, IDT, LDTR, TR, DR6, DR7, RFLAGS, X87_FCW,
+MXCSR.
+
+When processing the IGVM file, QEMU will check if any fields other than the
+above are non-zero and generate an error if this is the case.
+
+KVM uses a hardcoded GPA of 0xFFFFFFFFF000 for the VMSA. When an IGVM file
+defines initial CPU state, the GPA for each VMSA must match this hardcoded
+value.
+
+Firmware Images with IGVM
+-------------------------
+
+When an IGVM filename is specified for a Confidential Guest Support object it
+overrides the default handling of system firmware: the firmware image, such as
+an OVMF binary should be contained as a payload of the IGVM file and not
+provided as a flash drive or via the ``-bios`` parameter. The default QEMU
+firmware is not automatically populated into the guest memory space.
+
+If an IGVM file is provided along with either the ``-bios`` parameter or pflash
+devices then an error is displayed and the guest startup is aborted.
+
+Running a guest configured using IGVM
+-------------------------------------
+
+To run a guest configured with IGVM you firstly need to generate an IGVM file
+that contains a guest configuration compatible with the platform you are
+targeting.
+
+The ``buildigvm`` tool [2] is an example of a tool that can be used to generate
+IGVM files for non-confidential X86 platforms as well as for SEV, SEV-ES and
+SEV-SNP confidential platforms.
+
+Example using this tool to generate an IGVM file for AMD SEV-SNP::
+
+    buildigvm --firmware /path/to/OVMF.fd --output sev-snp.igvm \
+              --cpucount 4 sev-snp
+
+To run a guest configured with the generated IGVM you need to add an
+``igvm-cfg`` object and refer to it from the ``-machine`` parameter:
+
+Example (for AMD SEV)::
+
+    qemu-system-x86_64 \
+        <other parameters> \
+        -machine ...,confidential-guest-support=sev0,igvm-cfg=igvm0 \
+        -object sev-guest,id=sev0,cbitpos=47,reduced-phys-bits=1 \
+        -object igvm-cfg,id=igvm0,file=/path/to/sev-snp.igvm
