Subject: [RFT PATCH v2 11/23] x86/boot: Drop redundant RMPADJUST in SEV SVSM presence check
Date: Sun,  4 May 2025 11:52:41 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250504095230.2932860-36-ardb+git@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250504095230.2932860-25-ardb+git@google.com>

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>

snp_vmpl will be assigned a non-zero value when executing at a VMPL
other than 0, and this is inferred from a call to RMPADJUST, which only
works when running at VMPL0.

This means that testing snp_vmpl is sufficient, and there is no need to
perform the same check again.
