[PATCH v3 4/4] x86/kvm: use __decrypted attribute in shared variables

From: Brijesh Singh
Date: Wed Aug 29 2018 - 14:25:33 EST


The following commit:

368a540e0232 (x86/kvmclock: Remove memblock dependency)

caused SEV guest regression. When SEV is active, we map the shared
variables (wall_clock and hv_clock_boot) with C=0 to ensure that both
the guest and the hypervisor is able to access the data. To map the
variables we use kernel_physical_mapping_init() to split the large pages,
but this routine fails to allocate a new page. Before the above commit,
kvmclock initialization was called after memory allocator was available
but now its called early during boot.

Recently we added a special .data..decrypted section to hold the shared
variables. This section is mapped with C=0 early during boot. Use
__decrypted attribute to put the wall_clock and hv_clock_boot in
.data..decrypted section so that they are mapped with C=0.
