And still do cc_platform_has() calls in __startup_64() codepath? It's broken. Intel detection in cc_platform_has() relies on boot_cpu_data.x86_vendor which is not initialized until early_cpu_init() in setup_arch(). Given that X86_VENDOR_INTEL is 0 it leads to false-positive. I think opencode these two calls is the way forward. Maybe also move the check from sme_encrypt_kernel() to __startup_64(). -- Kirill A. Shutemov
