Subject: [PATCH v2 1/8] x86/sev: Make SVSM calls preemption-safe
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:57:17 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <a5bc0d4a2c462a0089109e145c21626b244b2ff0.1789345277.git.huibo.wang@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1789345277.git.huibo.wang@amd.com>

Two functions in the the SVSM vTPM guest implementation do not disable
preemption when fetching the SVSM Calling Area Address (CAA).

The SVSM CAA is a per-CPU structure. When a thread is preempted and
migrated to a different CPU after fetching the per-CPU CAA, the SVSM
call will execute on the new CPU with the original CPU's CAA. Which is
wrong.

Move the CAA fetching operation inside svsm_perform_call_protocol()
which disables interrupts around the SVSM call and thus runs
preemption-safe.

Fixes: 770de678bc28 ("x86/sev: Add SVSM vTPM probe/send_command functions")
