Subject[PATCH v6 4/5] x86/kvm: use __decrypted attribute in shared variables
Date
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 are able to access the data. To map the
variables we use kernel_physical_mapping_init() to split the large pages,
but splitting large pages requires allocating a new PMD, which fails now
that kvmclock initialization is 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.
