Subject: [PATCH 1/2] KVM: SEV: IBPB-on-Entry guest support
Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2026 16:42:04 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260126224205.1442196-2-kim.phillips@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260126224205.1442196-1-kim.phillips@amd.com>

The SEV-SNP IBPB-on-Entry feature does not require a guest-side
implementation. The feature was added in Zen5 h/w, after the first
SNP Zen implementation, and thus was not accounted for when the
initial set of SNP features were added to the kernel.

In its abundant precaution, commit 8c29f0165405 ("x86/sev: Add SEV-SNP
guest feature negotiation support") included SEV_STATUS' IBPB-on-Entry
bit as a reserved bit, thereby masking guests from using the feature.

Unmask the bit, to allow guests to take advantage of the feature on
hypervisor kernel versions that support it: Amend the SEV_STATUS MSR
SNP_RESERVED_MASK to exclude bit 23 (IbpbOnEntry).

Fixes: 8c29f0165405 ("x86/sev: Add SEV-SNP guest feature negotiation support")
