[Patch v3 4/4] x86/hyperv: Add guest support for Enhanced SMT Protection

From: Pratik R. Sampat

Date: Fri Oct 16 2026 - 17:59:23 EST


Add corresponding hyperv support for Enhanced SMT protection. A fully
enlightened SEV-SNP guest on Hyper-V builds the VMSA itself when
bringing up an AP, so populate both fields there, before the page is
turned into a VMSA and while it is still writable.

Similar to KVM, fully set the sibling mask so that all threads of the
same guest trust each other.
