Hmm, why is this ifdeffery creeping in now?

Just supply !CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT versions which don't do anything but
return the address.

No, no sched stuff in here. Just

Let's simplify this (diff ontop of yours). Notice the sme_active() call
in there - I believe we want to do this only when SME is active - not on
any CPU which merely supports SME.

Question: what clears CD back again? The CPU online path?

Ok, so this whole shebang is pretty much crippling the machine.
And, AFAICT, you're doing this now from smp_stop_nmi_callback() and
smp_reboot_interrupt() as they both pass a !NULL arg to stop_this_cpu().

And AFAICT those are not all cases where we kexec.

What you need instead, IMO, is __crash_kexec() ->
machine_crash_shutdown() -> native_machine_crash_shutdown() and put all
the SME special handling there.

I *think*.

Btw, I don't see those things used in modules to justify the
EXPORT_SYMBOL(). And it should be EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() since it is a new
symbol.

So you could put those wrappers in a header and do the ifdeffery there and
__set_memory_enc_dec() you can do like this:

static int __set_memory_enc_dec(unsigned long addr, int numpages, bool enc)
{
if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT))
return 0;

...

}

so that you can save yourself the ifdeffery. The compiler would still
parse the function body so everything else used in there would have to
be defined too, even in the !CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT case.

if (sme_active())

looks ok to me too.
