[PATCH v2] x86/sev: Update ghcb_version only once

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

 



From: Ashwin Dayanand Kamat <ashwin.kamat@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

kernel crash was observed because of page fault, while running
cpuhotplug ltp testcases on SEV-ES enabled systems. The crash was
observed during hotplug after the CPU was offlined and the process
was migrated to different cpu. setup_ghcb() is called again which
tries to update ghcb_version in sev_es_negotiate_protocol(). Ideally this
is a read_only variable which is initialised during booting.
This results in pagefault.

Fix is to call sev_es_negotiate_protocol() only in the BSP boot phase (and
it only needs to be done once)
