[PATCH v2 1/2] x86/sev-es: Allow copy_from_kernel_nofault in earlier boot

From: Adam Dunlap
Date: Mon Sep 11 2023 - 20:57:36 EST


Previously, if copy_from_kernel_nofault was called before
boot_cpu_data.x86_virt_bits was set up, then it would trigger undefined
behavior due to a shift by 64. This ended up causing boot failures in
the latest version of ubuntu2204 in the gcp project when using SEV-SNP.
Specifically, this function is called during an early #VC handler which
is triggered by a cpuid to check if nx is implemented.

Fixes: 1aa9aa8ee517 ("x86/sev-es: Setup GHCB-based boot #VC handler")
