Currently, the CCP driver assumes that the SEV command issued to the PSP will always return (i.e. it will never hang). But recently, firmware bugs have shown that a command can hang. Since of the SEV commands are used in probe routines, this can cause boot hangs and/or loss of virtualization capabilities. To protect against firmware bugs, add a timeout in the SEV command execution flow. If a command does not complete within the specified timeout then return -ETIMEOUT and stop the driver from executing any further commands since the state of the SEV firmware is unknown.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
