Nah, there's a couple of

MSR_AMD64_SEV*

defines in arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h.

Bit 5 should simply be added there.

Ah, yeah, that's much better.

Sorry, I am not following. How is moving the bit makes SEV_STATUS_TO_FEATURES() not needed?

When I am setting it in VMSA SEV_FEATURES - it is a bit 5.

Inside a SEV VM, it is SEV_STATUS MSR and there it is bit 7. Mentioned MSR_AMD64_SEV* are SEV_STATUS MSR bits.

Since the current patch is bad, I'd rather define the bit twice then:

arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h:
#define MSR_AMD64_SEV_FEAT_DEBUG_SWAP    BIT_ULL(7)

arch/x86/include/asm/svm.h
#define SVM_SEV_FEAT_DEBUG_SWAP         BIT(5)

as nothing really says that SEV_FEATURES is always going to be SEV_STATUS>>2, even though it is now.

Soooo what is acceptable solution here? Thanks,
