Libvirtd starts the QEMU process with UID=qemu, but the restriction doesn't come from there. Instead, it seems like the systemd default for "max locked memory" is 64KB on RHEL-7 anyway. I raised it by setting DefaultLimitMEMLOCK=infinity in "/etc/systemd/system.conf". (The documentation is at: - <https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.exec.html>, - <https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-system.conf.html>.) Following your other email, I've now also added "iommu_platform=on,ats=on" to virtio-net-pci, not just virtio-scsi-pci. This got a lot farther: the TianoCore splash screen was dispalyed, but then it got stuck. Looking more at the libvirt-generated command line, I figured maybe "vhost" should be disabled for virtio-net (so that the device implementation would run from QEMU userspace, not in the host kernel). Thus, ultimately I added <interface type='network'> <driver name='qemu' iommu='on' ats='on'/> ^^^^^^^^^^^ </interface> documented at <https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsDriverBackendOptions>. With these settings, the guest boots & works fine for me! I tested the SEV guest with 4 VCPUs, both with and without SMM. (I used the same kernel in the guest as on the host -- you wrote CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT for the guest, and the host requirements imply that.) I'm attaching the full domain XML for reference. Thanks!
