Subject: [PATCH v3 0/2] x86/sev: Fix RMPOPT enablement on non-RMPOPT configs
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2026 23:06:32 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1792018839.git.ashish.kalra@amd.com> (raw)
From: Ashish Kalra <ashish.kalra@amd.com>
Two fixes for the RMPOPT series, both for configurations where the
RMPOPT CPUID bit is advertised but RMPOPT is not actually usable:
Patch 1 clears X86_FEATURE_RMPOPT when the platform advertises segmented
RMP but the firmware has it disabled (contiguous RMP) - otherwise the
RMPOPT initcall programs RMPOPT_BASE and issues RMPOPT, which #GP.
Patch 2 gates rmpopt_init() on an active SNP host, so the RMPOPT workqueue
setup and the "optimizations enabled" message only happen on an SNP host -
e.g. not when SNP is disabled in the BIOS.
v3:
- Patch 2: gate rmpopt_init() on cc_platform_has(CC_ATTR_HOST_SEV_SNP)
instead of the X86_FEATURE_SEV_SNP CPUID bit. SNP can be disabled after
feature detection (e.g. when AMD IOMMU init fails to enable it), which
clears CC_ATTR_HOST_SEV_SNP but leaves the CPUID bit set;
CC_ATTR_HOST_SEV_SNP reflects the final host state and matches the gate
in snp_enable_rmpopt().
v2:
- Patch 1: expand the commit message to spell out the CPUID-advertise vs
firmware-enable distinction and how the configuration arises; drop the
trailing sentence; add Tom's Reviewed-by.
- Patch 2: rather than moving the announcement to snp_enable_rmpopt(),
gate rmpopt_init() on an SNP host and keep the message there (Tom).

x86/sev: Clear RMPOPT when segmented RMP is disabled by firmware
x86/sev: Only announce RMPOPT optimizations when SNP is enabled
