Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86/sev: Make SEV_STATUS available via SYSFS
Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2025 15:41:07 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250312144107.108451-3-joro@8bytes.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250312144107.108451-1-joro@8bytes.org>
From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@suse.de>
Current user-space tooling which needs access to the SEV_STATUS MSR is
using the MSR module. The use of this module poses a security risk in
any trusted execution environment and is generally discouraged.
Instead, provide an file in SYSFS in the /sys/hypervisor/sev/
directory to provide the value of the SEV_STATUS MSR to user-space.
