The io-specific memcpy/memset functions use string mmio accesses to do their work. Under SEV, the hypervisor can't emulate these instructions because they read/write directly from/to encrypted memory. KVM will inject a page fault exception into the guest when it is asked to emulate string mmio instructions for an SEV guest: BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffc90000065068 #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page PGD 8000100000067 P4D 8000100000067 PUD 80001000fb067 PMD 80001000fc067 PTE 80000000fed40173 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 5.17.0-rc7 #3 As string mmio for an SEV guest can not be supported by the hypervisor, unroll the instructions for CC_ATTR_GUEST_UNROLL_STRING_IO enabled kernels. This issue appears when kernels are launched in recent libvirt-managed SEV virtual machines, because virt-install started to add a tpm-crb device to the guest by default and proactively because, raisins: |

README
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
