Re: [PATCH v6 1/5] x86/kvm: Add AMD SEV specific Hypercall3

From: Ashish Kalra

Hello Paolo,

With reference to Boris's ack below, are you going to go ahead and queue this patch-set to kvm tree ?

Or do you want me to work on improving on or fixing anything on this patch-set?

Thanks,

Ashish

Yes that’s what I mentioned to Boris.
Right, and as far as I'm concerned, the x86 bits look ok to me and I'm
fine with this going through the kvm tree.

There will be a conflict with this:

resulting in:

arch/x86/kernel/kvm.c: In function ‘setup_efi_kvm_sev_migration’:
arch/x86/kernel/kvm.c:563:7: error: implicit declaration of function ‘sev_active’; did you mean ‘cpu_active’? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

but Paolo and I will figure out what to do - I'll likely have a separate
branch out which he can merge and that sev_active() will need to be
converted to

if (!cc_platform_has(CC_ATTR_GUEST_MEM_ENCRYPT))

which is trivial.

Thx.
