[PATCH kernel v5 2/6] KVM: SEV: Move SEV's GP_VECTOR intercept setup to SEV

From: Alexey Kardashevskiy
Date: Tue Apr 11 2023 - 08:58:30 EST


Currently SVM setup is done sequentially in
init_vmcb() -> sev_init_vmcb() -> sev_es_init_vmcb() and tries
keeping SVM/SEV/SEV-ES bits separated. One of the exceptions
is #GP intercept which init_vmcb() skips setting for SEV guests and
then sev_es_init_vmcb() needlessly clears it.

Remove the SEV check from init_vmcb(). Clear the #GP intercept in
sev_init_vmcb(). SEV-ES will use the SEV setting.

No functional change intended.
