[PATCH v9 1/2] x86/mm: add .bss..decrypted section to hold shared variables

[Brijesh Singh]

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

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

Currently, we use kernel_physical_mapping_init() to split large pages
before clearing the C-bit on shared pages. But it fails when called from
the kvmclock initialization (mainly because the memblock allocator is
not ready that early during boot).

Add a __bss_decrypted section attribute which can be used when defining
such shared variable. The so-defined variables will be placed in the
.bss..decrypted section. This section will be mapped with C=0 early
during boot.

The .bss..decrypted section has a big chunk of memory that may be unused
when memory encryption is not active, free it when memory encryption is
not active.
