Subject: [PATCH] x86/sev: Don't hang but terminate on failure to remap SVSM CA
Date: Mon,  6 Jan 2025 16:57:46 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250106155745.281221-2-ardb+git@google.com> (raw)

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>

Commit

  09d35045cd0f  ("x86/sev: Avoid WARN()s and panic()s in early boot code")

replaced a panic() that could potentially hit before the kernel is even
mapped with a deadloop, to ensure that execution does not proceed when
the condition in question hits.

As Tom suggests, it is better to terminate and return to the hypervisor
in this case, using a newly invented failure code to describe the
failure condition.
