Subject: [PATCH qemu-server 2/7] sev: Detect SEV-
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2026 16:14:04 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <64d1760116eab24690f674738cc6ef63a9213710.1790236014.git@genua.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <chipid.1790235905.git@genua.de>
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2638 bytes --]
CPUID only announces what the silicon is capable of. SEV, SEV-ES and SNP
can all still be disabled by firmware/platform config. If KVM signals
support, Qemu is able launch VMs with that feature.
