[PATCH v5 2/7] x86/sev: Create snp_prepare()

From: Tycho Andersen

Date: Thu Mar 26 2026 - 12:19:32 EST


From: "Tycho Andersen (AMD)" <tycho@xxxxxxxxxx>

In preparation for delayed SNP initialization, create a function
snp_prepare() that does the necessary architecture setup.
Export this function for the ccp module to allow it to do the setup as
necessary.

Introduce a cpu_read_lock/unlock() wrapper around the MFDM and SNP enable.
While CPU hotplug is not supported, this makes sure that the bit setting
happens on the same set of CPUs in both cases. This improvement was
suggested by Sashiko:
https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260324161301.1353976-1-tycho%40kernel.org

Also move {mfd,snp}_enable out of the __init section, since these will be
called later.
