Subject: [PATCH V1 1/1] OvmfPkg/PlatformPei: Skip PlatformInitEmuVariableNvStore in SEV guest
Date: Wed, 29 Mar 2023 13:23:10 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230329052310.27-1-min.m.xu@intel.com> (raw)
From: Min M Xu <min.m.xu@intel.com>
BZ: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4379
PlatformInitEmuVariableNvStore is called to initialize the
EmuVariableNvStore with the content pointed by
PcdOvmfFlashNvStorageVariableBase. This is because when OVMF is launched
with -bios parameter, UEFI variables will be partially emulated, and
non-volatile variables may lose their contents after a reboot. This makes
the secure boot feature not working.
But in SEV guest, this design doesn't work. Because at this point the
variable store mapping is still private/encrypted, OVMF will see
ciphertext. So we skip the call of PlatformInitEmuVariableNvStore in
SEV guest.
