Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y] x86/sev: Allow IBPB-on-Entry feature for SNP guests
Date: Mon, 9 Mar 2026 09:06:48 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260309130648.871470-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026030937-dumping-dodgy-a0cb@gregkh>
From: Kim Phillips <kim.phillips@amd.com>
[ Upstream commit 9073428bb204d921ae15326bb7d4558d9d269aab ]
The SEV-SNP IBPB-on-Entry feature does not require a guest-side
implementation. It was added in Zen5 h/w, after the first SNP Zen
implementation, and thus was not accounted for when the initial set of SNP
features were added to the kernel.
In its abundant precaution, commit
8c29f0165405 ("x86/sev: Add SEV-SNP guest feature negotiation support")
included SEV_STATUS' IBPB-on-Entry bit as a reserved bit, thereby masking
guests from using the feature.
Allow guests to make use of IBPB-on-Entry when supported by the hypervisor, as
the bit is now architecturally defined and safe to expose.
Fixes: 8c29f0165405 ("x86/sev: Add SEV-SNP guest feature negotiation support")
