Subject: [PATCH v2 3/4] KVM: SEV: Add the kvm-amd.rapl_disable module parameter
Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2026 14:48:46 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260427204847.112899-4-tycho@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260427204847.112899-1-tycho@kernel.org>
From: "Tycho Andersen (AMD)" <tycho@kernel.org>
Add a user-visible way to set the RAPL_DIS bit for SNP init.
Since setting RAPL_DIS affects the whole system, put the module parameter
in kvm_amd instead of in the CCP driver to hopefully make it more obvious
to admins.
Signed-off-by: Tycho Andersen (AMD) <tycho@kernel.org>
