Hi Brijesh:
Do me a favor please and learn not to top-post on a public mailing list. Also, take the time to read Documentation/process/ before you send upstream patches and how to work with the community in general.
We find this patch breaks AMD SEV support in the Hyper-V Isolation VM. Hyper-V code also uses sev_es_ghcb_hv_call() to read or write msr value. The sev_es_check_cpu_features() isn't called in the Hyper-V code and so the ghcb_version is always 0.
If hyperv is going to expose hypervisor features, then it better report GHCB v2. If not, then I guess < 2 or 1 or so, depending on how this is defined.
Could you add a new parameter ghcb_version for sev_es_ghcb_hv_call() and then caller may input ghcb_version?
No, your hypervisor needs to adhere to the spec and report proper ghcb
version. We won't be doing any accomodate-hyperv hacks.
