Subject: [PATCH 3/4] x86/fred: Fix early boot failures on SEV-ES/SNP guests
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 12:54:16 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260320115417.4156-4-bp@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260320115417.4156-1-bp@kernel.org>

From: Nikunj A Dadhania <nikunj@amd.com>

FRED-enabled SEV-(ES,SNP) guests fail to boot due to the following issues
in the early boot sequence:

* FRED does not have a #VC exception handler in the dispatch logic

* Early FRED #VC exceptions attempt to use uninitialized per-CPU GHCBs
  instead of boot_ghcb

Add X86_TRAP_VC case to fred_hwexc() with a new exc_vmm_communication()
function that provides the unified entry point FRED requires, dispatching
to existing user/kernel handlers based on privilege level. The function is
already declared via DECLARE_IDTENTRY_VC().

Fix early GHCB access by falling back to boot_ghcb in
__sev_{get,put}_ghcb() when per-CPU GHCBs are not yet initialized.

Fixes: 14619d912b65 ("x86/fred: FRED entry/exit and dispatch code")
