[PATCH v13 3/5] x86/sev: Initialize RMPOPT configuration MSRs

From: Ashish Kalra

Date: Wed Sep 02 2026 - 17:39:26 EST


From: Ashish Kalra <ashish.kalra@xxxxxxx>

The new RMPOPT instruction helps manage per-CPU RMP optimization
structures inside the CPU. It takes a 1GB-aligned physical address
and either returns the status of the optimizations or tries to enable
the optimizations.

Per-CPU RMPOPT tables support at most 2 TB of addressable memory for
RMP optimizations.

Initialize the per-CPU RMPOPT table base to the starting physical
address. This enables RMP optimization for up to 2 TB of system RAM on
all CPUs.

Additionally, add support to setup and enable RMPOPT once SNP is
enabled and initialized.
