[PATCH v7 0/9] x86: Confine early 1:1 mapped startup code
Posted by Ard Biesheuvel 1 year, 9 months ago
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>

This is resend #2 of v5 [0] with some touchups applied. 

Changes since v6:
- Drop flawed patch to move some SME/SEV related calls out of the early
  boot path to avoid the potential need for backporting patches #6/#7
  to kernels where SEV support may not be crucial. This problem will be
  dealt with if/when it arises while doing those backports.

Changes since v5:
- drop patches that have been merged
- rebase onto latest tip/x86/boot
- fix comment regarding CR4.PGE wrt flushing of global TLB entries
- avoid adding startup code to .noinstr.text as it triggers objtool
  warnings

For the series, tested bare metal boots with mem_encrypt=on / 
mem_encrypt=off and boots of SVM, SEV, SEV-ES and SEV-SNP guests.

Tested-by: Tom Lendacky <thomas.lendacky@amd.com>

Thanks a lot! I take it this was a kernel built with GCC?

Yes, it was a GCC build, so I went back and rebuilt with Clang-14 and 
everything was fine there, too.

Thanks,

OK, thanks again.
