2022-04-07x86/sev: Add a sev= cmdline optionMichael Roth1-0/+14
For debugging purposes it is very useful to have a way to see the full contents of the SNP CPUID table provided to a guest. Add an sev=debug kernel command-line option to do so. Also introduce some infrastructure so that additional options can be specified via sev=option1[,option2] over time in a consistent manner.

2022-04-04x86/cpu: Remove "noexec"Borislav Petkov1-9/+0
It doesn't make any sense to disable non-executable mappings - security-wise or else. So rip out that switch and move the remaining code into setup.c and delete setup_nx.c Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Lai Jiangshan <jiangshanlai@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220127115626.14179-6-bp@alien8.de
2022-02-23x86/mce: Remove the tolerance level controlBorislav Petkov1-8/+1
This is pretty much unused and not really useful. What is more, all relevant MCA hardware has recoverable machine checks support so there's no real need to tweak MCA tolerance levels in order to *maybe* extend machine lifetime. So rip it out.

2021-08-12x86/reboot: Document how to override DMI platform quirksPaul Gortmaker1-0/+7
commit 5955633e91bf ("x86/reboot: Skip DMI checks if reboot set by user") made it so that it's not required to recompile the kernel in order to bypass broken reboot quirks compiled into an image: * This variable is used privately to keep track of whether or not * reboot_type is still set to its default value (i.e., reboot= hasn't * been set on the command line). This is needed so that we can * suppress DMI scanning for reboot quirks. Without it, it's * impossible to override a faulty reboot quirk without recompiling. However, at the time it was not eally documented outside the source code, and so this information isn't really available to the average user out there. The change is a little white lie and invented "reboot=default" since it is easy to remember, and documents well. The truth is that any random string that is *not* a currently accepted string will work. Since that doesn't document well for non-coders, and since it's unknown what the future additions might be, lay claim on "default" since that is exactly what it achieves.
