Add SNP-specific hooks to the unaccepted memory support in the boot
path (__accept_memory()) and the core kernel (accept_memory()) in order
to support booting SNP guests when unaccepted memory is present. Without
this support, SNP guests will fail to boot and/or panic() when unaccepted
memory is present in the EFI memory map.

The process of accepting memory under SNP involves invoking the hypervisor
to perform a page state change for the page to private memory and then
issuing a PVALIDATE instruction to accept the page.

Since the boot path and the core kernel paths perform similar operations,
move the pvalidate_pages() and vmgexit_psc() functions into sev-shared.c
to avoid code duplication.

Create the new header file arch/x86/boot/compressed/sev.h because adding
the function declaration to any of the existing SEV related header files
pulls in too many other header files, causing the build to fail.

Say yes to enable support for the encryption of system memory.
This requires an AMD processor that supports Secure Memory

I think it misses "depends on EFI_STUB".

Ah, good catch, thanks. I'll update the series to add that.

Thanks,
Tom


The code I've submitted contains "select EFI_STUB", but it causes build
issues for some configurations. I've changed it to "depends on" in git.
