KVM currently returns -EINVAL when it attempts to create an SNP guest if the SMT guest policy bit is not set. However, there is no reason to check this, as there is no specific support in KVM that is required to support this. The SEV firmware will determine if SMT has been enabled or disabled in the BIOS and process the policy in the proper way: - SMT enabled in BIOS - Guest policy SMT == 0 ==> SNP_LAUNCH_START fails with POLICY_FAILURE - Guest policy SMT == 1 ==> SNP_LAUNCH_START succeeds - SMT disabled in BIOS - Guest policy SMT == 0 ==> SNP_LAUNCH_START succeeds - Guest policy SMT == 1 ==> SNP_LAUNCH_START succeeds Remove the check for the SMT policy bit from snp_launch_start() and allow the firmware to perform the proper checking.

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 reStructuredText 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.
