A host/hypervisor will never see GUEST related attributes return true, you
need to verify all uses of X86_FEATURE_SEV* in the kernel. I see two files
where this change will break SEV hypervisor support:
- arch/x86/kvm/svm/sev.c / sev_hardware_setup()
- drivers/crypto/ccp/sev-dev.c / sev_dev_init()
I imagine that some of this has to be re-thought a bit. The current SEV
and SEV-ES feature attributes are intended for hypervsior side usage. For
example, MSR MSR_K7_HWCR_SMMLOCK, which is likely never going to be
provided to a guest, needs to be checked to be certain that an SEV guest
can be launched, even though SEV is advertised in CPUID.
Once in the guest, it is the cc_platform_has() support that determines
feature support and not X86_FEATURE_SEV*
Thanks,
Tom
