[PATCH v5 25/32] x86, realmode: Check for memory encryption on the APs

Tom Lendacky thomas.lendacky at amd.com
Tue Apr 18 14:20:44 PDT 2017


Add support to check if memory encryption is active in the kernel and that
it has been enabled on the AP. If memory encryption is active in the kernel
but has not been enabled on the AP, then set the memory encryption bit (bit
23) of MSR_K8_SYSCFG to enable memory encryption on that AP and allow the
AP to continue start up.
