Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] x86/fred: Fix SEV-ES/SNP guest boot failures
Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2026 09:23:47 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260226092349.803491-1-nikunj@amd.com> (raw)

SEV-ES and SNP guests fail to boot when FRED is enabled due to missing #VC
exception handling and a CR-pinning issue that prematurely enables FRED before
its MSRs are configured.

Patch 1 fixes the CR-pinning issue by deferring enforcement during secondary
CPU bringup, preventing FRED from being enabled before it is configured and
able to handle exceptions.

Patch 2 adds #VC exception handling to FRED and fixes early GHCB access to
use boot_ghcb before per-CPU GHCBs are initialized.

These fixes enable SEV-ES/SNP guests to boot successfully with FRED enabled.

Changelog:
v1 -> v2:
* Instead of moving pr_info(), fix the root cause by disabling CR pinning
  during secondary CPU bringup (Dave Hansen)
* Use unified #VC exception handler in fred_hwexc() (Dave Hansen)
* Collect RoB (Sohil Mehta)

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20260205051030.1225975-1-nikunj@amd.com/
