[PATCH v6 20/76] x86/boot/compressed/64: Call set_sev_encryption_mask earlier

From: Joerg Roedel <joro@8bytes.org>
Date: 2020-08-24 09:16:05
Also in: kvm, lkml
Subsystem: the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

From: Joerg Roedel <redacted>

Call set_sev_encryption_mask() while still on the stage 1 #VC-handler,
because the stage 2 handler needs our own page-tables to be set up, to
which calling set_sev_encryption_mask() is a prerequisite.
