Right, running the tests/qemucapsprobe on my system I see that
query-sev-capabilities command returns a valid data. In my local branch,
I updated the caps_2.12.0.x86_64.replies with response. With those
changes I no longer get the internal error but
tests/qemucapabilitiestest still fails for me with below error message:
29) caps_2.12.0(x86_64) ...
In
'/home/amd/workdir/upstream/libvirt/tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_2.12.0.x86_64.xml':
Offset 7143
Expect [060]
Actual [306]
It is basically pointing to microcode version change, do I need to
update the cap with new version ?
After you've tweaked the .replies file, you can just run
$ VIR_TEST_REGENERATE_OUTPUT=1 make check
and the .xml file will be refreshed, microcode version and all.

I am not able to follow this comment, let me explain the situation.
The QEMU_CAPS_SEV flag was set to indicate QEMU supports the
'query-sev-capabilities' QMP command and sev-guest object. That merely
indicates that command exist but does not means that command will always
execute successfully. e.g If hypervisor does not support the SEV feature
then query-sev-capabilities will return error. That means if
tests/qemucapsprobe is used to generate the replies on non-SEV capable
system then .replies will not contain output of query-sev-capabilities
command. Will this be an issue ?
Not at all. That's already the case for a lot of features.
My comment was merely pointing out that the capabilities data we
have in the tree right now is for QEMU 2.12.0-rc0, and once QEMU
2.12 is officially released we will want to collect it again.
It's not something you need to worry about, really :)
