Subject: [PATCH v6 69/76] x86/realmode: Setup AP jump table
Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2020 10:55:04 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200824085511.7553-70-joro@8bytes.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200824085511.7553-1-joro@8bytes.org>

From: Tom Lendacky <thomas.lendacky@amd.com>

As part of the GHCB specification, the booting of APs under SEV-ES
requires an AP jump table when transitioning from one layer of code to
another (e.g. when going from UEFI to the OS). As a result, each layer
that parks an AP must provide the physical address of an AP jump table
to the next layer via the hypervisor.

Upon booting of the kernel, read the AP jump table address from the
hypervisor. Under SEV-ES, APs are started using the INIT-SIPI-SIPI
sequence. Before issuing the first SIPI request for an AP, the start
CS and IP is programmed into the AP jump table. Upon issuing the SIPI
request, the AP will awaken and jump to that start CS:IP address.

[ jroedel@suse.de: - Adapted to different code base
                   - Moved AP table setup from SIPI sending path to
		     real-mode setup code
		   - Fix sparse warnings ]
