[PATCH v4 0/2] nosnp sev command line support

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

 



Provide "nosnp" boot option via "sev=nosnp" kernel command line to
prevent SEV-SNP[1] capable host kernel from enabling SEV-SNP and
initializing Reverse Map Table (RMP) [1].

On providing sev=nosnp via kernel command line:
cat /sys/module/kvm_amd/parameters/sev_snp should be "N".

This patchset is based on tip/master.
