kvmclock defines few static variables which are shared with hypervisor
during the kvmclock initialization.

When SEV is active, memory is encrypted with a guest-specific key, and
if guest OS wants to share the memory region with hypervisor then it must
clear the C-bit before sharing it.

The '__decrypted' can be used to define a shared variables; the variables
will be put in the .data.decryption section. This section is mapped with
C=0 early in the boot, we also ensure that the initialized values are
updated to match with C=0 (i.e peform an in-place decryption). The
.data..decrypted section is PMD aligned and sized so that we avoid the
need for spliting the pages when map with C=0.

This should probably be broken into a few smaller patches. Maybe a
patch that adds the section and the attribute, a patch that re-arranges
the mapping setup and then the in-place decryption and clearing of the
encryption bit for the area.



OK, I will break the patch. Probably will create a separate patch which
just re-arranges the mapping setup without making any logical changes.

Should find a header for these rather than defining them here.


OK, will move then in mem_encrypt.h. Will that work ?

I think this needs to do the same sev_active() check as above. It might
be working only because of the inherent instruction fetch decryption,
but it would probably be best in case anything changes in this routine
in the future.



In SEV instruction fetches are always decrypted hence I didn't do it.
But I will follow your advice and just to be consistence with SME I
will map this as encrypted.

This doesn't seem correct. The first argument should be the dest,
not the source. I think this is working because the mappings aren't
actually being updated (see sme_populate_pgd() where the page table
entry isn't updated if it exists).



Ah I see, I was under assumption that sme_populate_pgd will update
the flags (if they already exist). I will take a look.


There probably isn't any reason to check if the entry exists, so
you should be able to update sme_populate_pgd() to set the page
table entry no matter what.
