[PATCH 0/2] Fix AMD SEV guest boot issue with PCID feature

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

 



SEV guests fail to boot on systems that support the PCID feature.

The problem is observed with SMM enabled OVMF build. The guest
crashes with the following messages on the console while loading.

The issue is root caused to the way kvm tries to validate the cr3
address in kvm_set_cr3(). The cr3 address in SEV guests have the encryption
bit set. KVM fails because the reserved bit check fails on this address.

This series fixes the problem by introducing a new kvm_x86_ops callback
function to detect the encryption bit and mask it during the check.
