[PATCH v7 18/45] x86/kernel: Make the bss.decrypted section shared in RMP table

From: Brijesh Singh <hidden>
Date: 2021-11-10 22:09:05
Also in: kvm, linux-efi, linux-mm, lkml, platform-driver-x86
Subsystem: the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

The encryption attribute for the bss.decrypted region is cleared in the
initial page table build. This is because the section contains the data
that need to be shared between the guest and the hypervisor.

When SEV-SNP is active, just clearing the encryption attribute in the
page table is not enough. The page state need to be updated in the RMP
table.
