[PATCHv12 06/19] x86/kexec: Keep CR4.MCE set during kexec for TDX guest

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

 



TDX guests run with MCA enabled (CR4.MCE=1b) from the very start. If
that bit is cleared during CR4 register reprogramming during boot or
kexec flows, a #VE exception will be raised which the guest kernel
cannot handle.

Therefore, make sure the CR4.MCE setting is preserved over kexec too and
avoid raising any #VEs.

The change doesn't affect non-TDX-guest environments.
