Subject: [PATCH v2] x86/sev: Update ghcb_version only once
Date: Wed, 29 Nov 2023 16:10:29 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1701254429-18250-1-git-send-email-kashwindayan@vmware.com> (raw)

From: Ashwin Dayanand Kamat <ashwin.kamat@broadcom.com>

kernel crash was observed because of page fault, while running
cpuhotplug ltp testcases on SEV-ES enabled systems. The crash was
observed during hotplug after the CPU was offlined and the process
was migrated to different cpu. setup_ghcb() is called again which
tries to update ghcb_version in sev_es_negotiate_protocol(). Ideally this
is a read_only variable which is initialised during booting.
This results in pagefault.

From logs,

Fix is to call sev_es_negotiate_protocol() only in the BSP boot phase (and
it only needs to be done once)
