Yah, coming up with a proper name here hasn't been easy. prot_guest_has() is not the first variant. >From all three things you suggest above, I guess calling it a "platform" is the closest. As in, this is a confidential computing platform which provides host and guest facilities etc. So calling it confidential_computing_platform_has() is obviously too long. ccp_has() clashes with the namespace of drivers/crypto/ccp/ which is used by the technology too. coco_platform_has() is too unserious. So I guess cc_platform_has() ain't all that bad. Unless you have a better idea, ofc. -- Regards/Gruss, Boris. https://people.kernel.org/tglx/notes-about-netiquette _______________________________________________ kexec mailing list kexec@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/kexec
