[patch] x86/smpboot: Fix the parallel bringup decision

Thomas Gleixner
2023-05-31T07:44:33Z

The decision to allow parallel bringup of secondary CPUs checks
CC_ATTR_GUEST_STATE_ENCRYPT to detect encrypted guests. Those cannot use
parallel bootup because accessing the local APIC is intercepted and raises
a #VC or #VE, which cannot be handled at that point.

The check works correctly, but only for AMD encrypted guests. TDX does not
set that flag.

As there is no real connection between CC attributes and the inability to
support parallel bringup, replace this with a generic control flag in
x86_cpuinit and let SEV-ES and TDX init code disable it.
