kvmclock defines few static variables which are shared with the hypervisor during the kvmclock initialization. When SEV is active, memory is encrypted with a guest-specific key, and if the guest OS wants to share the memory region with the hypervisor then it must clear the C-bit before sharing it. Currently, we use kernel_physical_mapping_init() to split large pages before clearing the C-bit on shared pages. But it fails when called from the kvmclock initialization (mainly because the memblock allocator is not ready that early during boot). Add a __bss_decrypted section attribute which can be used when defining such shared variable. The so-defined variables will be placed in the .bss..decrypted section. This section will be mapped with C=0 early during boot. The .bss..decrypted section has a big chunk of memory that may be unused when memory encryption is not active, free it when memory encryption is not active.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
