"
x86/kvmclock: Remove memblock dependency

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=368a540e0232ad446931f5a4e8a5e06f69f21343
"

introduced SEV guest regression.

The guest physical address holding the wall_clock and hv_clock_boot
are shared with the hypervisor must be mapped with C=0 when SEV
is active. To clear the C-bit we use  kernel_physical_mapping_init() to
split the large pages. The above commit moved the kvmclock initialization
very early and kernel_physical_mapping_init() fails to allocate memory
while spliting the large page.

To solve it, we add a special .data..decrypted section, this section can be
used to hold the shared variables. Early boot code maps this section with
C=0. The section is pmd aligned and sized to avoid the need to split the pages.
Caller can use __decrypted attribute to add the variables in .data..decrypted
section.

Changes since v3:
 - commit message improvements (based on Sean's feedback)

Changes since v2:
 - commit message and code comment improvements (based on Boris feedback)
 - move sme_populate_pgd fixes in new patch.
 - drop stable Cc - will submit to stable after patch is upstreamed.

Changes since v1:
 - move the logic to re-arrange mapping in new patch
 - move the definition of __start_data_* in mem_encrypt.h
 - map the workarea buffer as encrypted when SEV is enabled
 - enhance the sme_populate_pgd to update the pte/pmd flags when mapping exist

Brijesh Singh (4):
  x86/mm: Restructure sme_encrypt_kernel()
  x86/mm: fix sme_populate_pgd() to update page flags
  x86/mm: add .data..decrypted section to hold shared variables
  x86/kvm: use __decrypted attribute in shared variables
