[PATCH v2 3/6] pseries/plpks: expose PowerVM wrapping features via the sysfs

Thu Dec 18 04:25:02 AEDT 2025


Starting with Power11, PowerVM supports a new feature called "Key Wrapping"
that protects user secrets by wrapping them using a hypervisor generated
wrapping key. The status of this feature can be read by the
H_PKS_GET_CONFIG HCALL.

Expose the Power LPAR Platform KeyStore (PLPKS) wrapping features config
via the sysfs file /sys/firmware/plpks/config/wrapping_features.
