Move SEV sysfs information and expose MSR_SEV_STATUS

[PATCH 1/2] x86/coco/sev: Move SEV SYSFS group to /sys/hypervisor/

Posted by Joerg Roedel 9 months, 1 week ago

From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@suse.de>

Move the SYSFS information about SEV to the /sys/hypervisor/ directory and link
to it from the old location. The /sys/hypervisor/ hierarchy makes more
sense for this information, as it is only relevant in a virtualized
environment and contains values influenced by the hypervisor.

Given hypervisor_kobj is created elsewhere, and the caller of 
hypervisor_init() doesn't check for ENOMEM, would it be worth
adding a check here that it exists before using it?

Hmm, dunno, I guess it would make things slightly more robust. On the
other side all existing users of this object already assume a successful
initialization.

Shouldn't these be /sys/hypervisor/sev ?
