[edk2-devel] [PATCH v7 5/6] OvmfPkg/PlatformPei: Mark SEC GHCB page as unencrypted via hypercall

[Ashish Kalra via groups.io]

[AMD Official Use Only - General]

Hello Nikunj,

That is true, but there is no SEV live migration happening before GHCB pages are re-setup and the hypercalls are invoked again for GHCB pages from
the guest kernel after it checks the live migration runtime environment flag setup by OVMF.

Thanks,
Ashish

PcdOvmfSecGhcbSize is set to 2 pages (8192 bytes). AFAIU, only first page needs to be change to shared, second page should be kept private.
