Subject: [PATCH 1/3] x86/coco: Add CC_ATTR_GUEST_SEV
Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2026 14:58:25 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260803125827.718024-2-joro@8bytes.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260803125827.718024-1-joro@8bytes.org>
From: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com>
Add a new attribute to the CC platform code to check whether the
kernel runs in an environment using SEV memory encryption. This will
be used to establish the an sev/ directory in SYSFS (which is
currently SEV-SNP-only).
