+Description:
+		Exposes confidential computing (coco) EFI secrets to
+		userspace via securityfs.
+
+		EFI can declare memory area used by confidential computing
+		platforms (such as AMD SEV and SEV-ES) for secret injection by
+		the Guest Owner during VM's launch.  The secrets are encrypted
+		by the Guest Owner and decrypted inside the trusted enclave,
+		and therefore are not readable by the untrusted host.
+
+		The efi_secret module exposes the secrets to userspace.  Each
+		secret appears as a file under <securityfs>/secrets/coco,
+		where the filename is the GUID of the entry in the secrets
+		table.  This module is loaded automatically by the EFI driver
+		if the EFI secret area is populated.
+
+		Two operations are supported for the files: read and unlink.
+		Reading the file returns the content of secret entry.
+		Unlinking the file overwrites the secret data with zeroes and
+		removes the entry from the filesystem.  A secret cannot be read
+		after it has been unlinked.
+
+		For example, listing the available secrets::
+
+		  # modprobe efi_secret
+		  # ls -l /sys/kernel/security/secrets/coco
+		  -r--r----- 1 root root 0 Jun 28 11:54 736870e5-84f0-4973-92ec-06879ce3da0b
+		  -r--r----- 1 root root 0 Jun 28 11:54 83c83f7f-1356-4975-8b7e-d3a0b54312c6
+		  -r--r----- 1 root root 0 Jun 28 11:54 9553f55d-3da2-43ee-ab5d-ff17f78864d2
+		  -r--r----- 1 root root 0 Jun 28 11:54 e6f5a162-d67f-4750-a67c-5d065f2a9910
+
+		Reading the secret data by reading a file::
+
+		  # cat /sys/kernel/security/secrets/coco/e6f5a162-d67f-4750-a67c-5d065f2a9910
+		  the-content-of-the-secret-data
+
+		Wiping a secret by unlinking a file::
+
+		  # rm /sys/kernel/security/secrets/coco/e6f5a162-d67f-4750-a67c-5d065f2a9910
+		  # ls -l /sys/kernel/security/secrets/coco
+		  -r--r----- 1 root root 0 Jun 28 11:54 736870e5-84f0-4973-92ec-06879ce3da0b
+		  -r--r----- 1 root root 0 Jun 28 11:54 83c83f7f-1356-4975-8b7e-d3a0b54312c6
+		  -r--r----- 1 root root 0 Jun 28 11:54 9553f55d-3da2-43ee-ab5d-ff17f78864d2
+
+		Note: The binary format of the secrets table injected by the
+		Guest Owner is described in
+		drivers/virt/coco/efi_secret/efi_secret.c under "Structure of
+		the EFI secret area".
