No, nothing guarantees that @certs is on the stack and will never be reloaded.
sev_snp_certs_get() is in full view of sev_snp_global_certs_get(), so it's entirely
possible that it can be inlined.  Then you end up with:

	struct sev_device *sev;

	if (!psp_master || !psp_master->sev_data)
		return NULL;

	sev = psp_master->sev_data;
	if (!sev->snp_initialized)
		return NULL;

	if (!sev->snp_certs)
		return NULL;

	if (!kref_get_unless_zero(&sev->snp_certs->kref))
		return NULL;

	return sev->snp_certs;

At which point the compiler could choose to omit a local variable entirely, it
could store @certs in a register and reload after kref_get_unless_zero(), etc.
If psp_master->sev_data->snp_certs is changed at any point, odd thing can happen.

That atomic operation in kref_get_unless_zero() might prevent a reload between
getting the kref and the return, but it wouldn't prevent a reload between the
!NULL check and kref_get_unless_zero().

Why?  The cert ultimately comes from userspace, no?  Make userspace deal with it.

That's a solvable problem.  I'm not sure I like the most obvious solution, but it
is a solution: let userspace define a KVM-wide blob pointer, either via .mmap()
or via an ioctl().

FWIW, there's no need to do .mmap() shenanigans, e.g. an ioctl() to set the
userspace pointer would suffice.  The benefit of a kernel controlled pointer is
that it doesn't require copying to a kernel buffer (or special code to copy from
userspace into guest).

Actually, looking at the flow again, AFAICT there's nothing special about the
target DATA_PAGE.  It must be SHARED *before* SVM_VMGEXIT_EXT_GUEST_REQUEST, i.e.
KVM doesn't need to do conversions, there's no kernel priveleges required, etc.
And the GHCB doesn't dictate ordering between storing the certificates and doing
the request.  That means the certificate stuff can be punted entirely to usersepace.

Heh, typing up the below, there's another bug: KVM will incorrectly "return" '0'
for non-SNP guests:

	unsigned long exitcode = 0;
	u64 data_gpa;
	int err, rc;

	if (!sev_snp_guest(vcpu->kvm)) {
		rc = SEV_RET_INVALID_GUEST; <= sets "rc", not "exitcode"
		goto e_fail;
	}

e_fail:
	ghcb_set_sw_exit_info_2(svm->sev_es.ghcb, exitcode);

Which really highlights that we need to get test infrastructure up and running
for SEV-ES, SNP, and TDX.

Anyways, back to punting to userspace.  Here's a rough sketch.  The only new uAPI
is the definition of KVM_HC_SNP_GET_CERTS and its arguments.

static void snp_handle_guest_request(struct vcpu_svm *svm)
{
	struct vmcb_control_area *control = &svm->vmcb->control;
	struct sev_data_snp_guest_request data = {0};
	struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu = &svm->vcpu;
	struct kvm *kvm = vcpu->kvm;
	struct kvm_sev_info *sev;
	gpa_t req_gpa = control->exit_info_1;
	gpa_t resp_gpa = control->exit_info_2;
	unsigned long rc;
	int err;

	if (!sev_snp_guest(vcpu->kvm)) {
		rc = SEV_RET_INVALID_GUEST;
		goto e_fail;
	}

	sev = &to_kvm_svm(kvm)->sev_info;

	mutex_lock(&sev->guest_req_lock);

	rc = snp_setup_guest_buf(svm, &data, req_gpa, resp_gpa);
	if (rc)
		goto unlock;

	rc = sev_issue_cmd(kvm, SEV_CMD_SNP_GUEST_REQUEST, &data, &err);
	if (rc)
		/* Ensure an error value is returned to guest. */
		rc = err ? err : SEV_RET_INVALID_ADDRESS;

	snp_cleanup_guest_buf(&data, &rc);

unlock:
	mutex_unlock(&sev->guest_req_lock);

e_fail:
	ghcb_set_sw_exit_info_2(svm->sev_es.ghcb, rc);
}

static int snp_complete_ext_guest_request(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu)
{
	u64 certs_exitcode = vcpu->run->hypercall.args[2];
	struct vcpu_svm *svm = to_svm(vcpu);

	if (certs_exitcode)
		ghcb_set_sw_exit_info_2(svm->sev_es.ghcb, certs_exitcode);
	else
		snp_handle_guest_request(svm);
	return 1;
}

static int snp_handle_ext_guest_request(struct vcpu_svm *svm)
{
	struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu = &svm->vcpu;
	struct kvm *kvm = vcpu->kvm;
	struct kvm_sev_info *sev;
	unsigned long exitcode;
	u64 data_gpa;

	if (!sev_snp_guest(vcpu->kvm)) {
		ghcb_set_sw_exit_info_2(svm->sev_es.ghcb, SEV_RET_INVALID_GUEST);
		return 1;
	}

	data_gpa = vcpu->arch.regs[VCPU_REGS_RAX];
	if (!IS_ALIGNED(data_gpa, PAGE_SIZE)) {
		ghcb_set_sw_exit_info_2(svm->sev_es.ghcb, SEV_RET_INVALID_ADDRESS);
		return 1;
	}

	vcpu->run->hypercall.nr		 = KVM_HC_SNP_GET_CERTS;
	vcpu->run->hypercall.args[0]	 = data_gpa;
	vcpu->run->hypercall.args[1]	 = vcpu->arch.regs[VCPU_REGS_RBX];
	vcpu->run->hypercall.flags	 = KVM_EXIT_HYPERCALL_LONG_MODE;
	vcpu->arch.complete_userspace_io = snp_complete_ext_guest_request;
	return 0;
}
