Subject: [PATCH v5 2/2] x86 KVM:SVM: Provide "nosnp" boot option for sev kernel command line
Date: Mon, 30 Sep 2024 18:11:02 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240930231102.123403-3-papaluri@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240930231102.123403-1-papaluri@amd.com>

Provide a "nosnp" kernel command line option to prevent enabling of the
RMP and SEV-SNP features in the host/hypervisor. Not initializing the
RMP removes system overhead associated with RMP checks.
