2025-10-30x86/boot: Move boot_*msr helpers to asm/shared/msr.hJohn Allen
The boot_{rdmsr,wrmsr}() helpers are *just* the barebones MSR access functionality, without any tracing or exception handling glue as it is done in kernel proper. Move these helpers to asm/shared/msr.h and rename to raw_{rdmsr,wrmsr}() to indicate what they are. [ bp: Correct the reason why those helpers exist. I should've caught that in the original patch that added them: 176db622573f ("x86/boot: Introduce helpers for MSR reads/writes" but oh well... - fixup include path delimiters to <> ] Signed-off-by: John Allen <john.allen@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov (AMD) <bp@alien8.de> Reviewed-by: Tom Lendacky <thomas.lendacky@amd.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/all/20250924200852.4452-2-john.allen@amd.com
2022-04-06x86/boot: Introduce helpers for MSR reads/writesMichael Roth
The current set of helpers used throughout the run-time kernel have dependencies on code/facilities outside of the boot kernel, so there are a number of call-sites throughout the boot kernel where inline assembly is used instead. More will be added with subsequent patches that add support for SEV-SNP, so take the opportunity to provide a basic set of helpers that can be used by the boot kernel to reduce reliance on inline assembly. Use boot_* prefix so that it's clear these are helpers specific to the boot kernel to avoid any confusion with the various other MSR read/write helpers.
