crorafJeremy31, thanks07:12
crorafIn the mirror it should be noted as hwe-edge kernel flavor.07:13
apwRikMills, yes i would expect that to be the last hwe kernel in 20.0411:01
RikMillsapw: thanks!11:02
caribouHello, I'm currently investigating a few issues related to the use of "Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV)" on recent kernel. The first one is that the -kvm kernel flavor does not boot when SEV is enabled (LP: #1955395)11:08
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1955395 in linux (Ubuntu Jammy) "KVM flavor of Jammy kernel 5.13 does not boot when Secure Encrypted Virtualization( SEV) is enabled" [Undecided, Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/195539511:08
caribouThe second one is that kernels starting with 5.11 will not boot with SEV enabled unless swiotlb is forced to be 512Mb (LP but soon to be filed)11:10
caribouThis comes following this commit : https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=e998879d4fb7991856916972168cf27c0d86ed1211:10
ubottuCommit e998879 in kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git "x86,swiotlb: Adjust SWIOTLB bounce buffer size for SEV guests"11:10
caribouThis sets the SWIOTLB value to 1024Mb and the lowmem allocation fails on recent Ubuntu kernels. The same commit on Fedora 34 kernels (5.13) succeed with the 1024Mb allocation11:11
caribouoh, just realized that I did create the second bug : LP: #195565511:12
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1955655 in linux (Ubuntu) "kernel-5.13.0-23-generic : Unable to boot when Secure Encrypted Virtualization( SEV) is enabled without setting swiotlb boot param" [Undecided, Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/195565511:12
caribouI'm currently trying to identify why the lowmem allocation fails on Jammy kernels11:13
