In general, activating long mode involves setting the EFER_LME bit in the EFER register and then enabling the X86_CR0_PG bit in the CR0 register. At this point, the EFER_LMA bit will be set automatically by hardware. In the case of SVM/SEV guests where writes to CR0 are intercepted, it's necessary for the host to set EFER_LMA on behalf of the guest since hardware does not see the actual CR0 write. In the case of SEV-ES guests where writes to CR0 are trapped instead of intercepted, the hardware *does* see/record the write to CR0 before exiting and passing the value on to the host, so as part of enabling SEV-ES support commit |

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.
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.
