From: Dov Murik <dovmurik@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Commit cff03145ed3c ("sev/i386: Introduce sev_add_kernel_loader_hashes for measured linux boot", 2021-09-30) introduced measured direct boot with -kernel, using an OVMF-designated hashes table which QEMU fills. However, if OVMF doesn't designate such an area, QEMU would completely abort the VM launch. This breaks launching with -kernel using older OVMF images which don't publish the SEV_HASH_TABLE_RV_GUID. Fix that so QEMU will only look for the hashes table if the sev-guest kernel-hashes option is set to on. Otherwise, QEMU won't look for the designated area in OVMF and won't fill that area. To enable addition of kernel hashes, launch the guest with: -object sev-guest,...,kernel-hashes=on Signed-off-by: Dov Murik <dovmurik@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reported-by: Tom Lendacky <thomas.lendacky@xxxxxxx> Acked-by: Brijesh Singh <brijesh.singh@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
