[PATCH] x86/boot: Fix kexec booting failure after SEV early boot support

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Commit 1958b5fc4010 ("x86/boot: Add early boot support when running
with SEV active") is causing kexec becomes sometimes unstable even if
SEV is not active. kexec reboot won't start a second kernel bypassing
BIOS boot process, instead, the system got reset.

That's because, in get_sev_encryption_bit function, we are using
32-bit RIP-relative addressing to read the value of enc_bit, but
kexec may alloc the early boot up code to a higher location, which
is beyond 32-bit addressing limit. Some garbage will be read and
get_sev_encryption_bit will return the wrong value, which leads to
wrong memory page flag.

This patch removes the use of enc_bit, as currently, enc_bit's only
purpose is to avoid duplicated encryption bit reading, but the overhead
of reading encryption bit is so tiny, so no need to cache that.
