Some questions and RFC regarding this patch:
I'm not really fond of the command and function names and would appreciate suggestions :-).
I'm honestly not too fussed about the naming. THis command is really just about feature complete API coverage. I doubt many people will actually use virsh for this, instead they'll want a program that queries the measurement, verifies it and injects secret all in one go.
Also, is reading the secret header and secret from a file sufficient? The sev-tool 'package_secret' command writes the secret to a file.
Fine IMHO.
Lastly, I'm not sure what sizes to expect for secret and secret header. I may have overlooked it, but didn't find anything related to the size in the docs. I've temporarily set it to VSH_MAX_XML_FILE until we know a reasonable value.
I'm not too sure either, but as a general point, IMHO, almost all our use of virFileReadAll has no functional or security need for us to supply a limit at all. We really ought to just make it accept '-1' as a limit and treat that as unlimited. Meanwhile I'd suggest just letting it be 1 MB which is way bigger than i expect this data will be. You can only DoS yourself with virsh, and you'll be limited by the RPC protocol wire limit.
