[PATCH v3 2/2] x86 KVM:SVM: Provide "nosnp" boot option for sev kernel command line

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

 



Provide a "nosnp" kernel command line option to prevent enabling of the
RMP and SEV-SNP features in the host/hypervisor. Not initializing the
RMP removes system overhead associated with RMP checks.
