But I had not thought about TDX.  In the TDX case, it appears that
sme_postprocess_startup() will not decrypt the bss_decrypted section.
The corresponding mem_encrypt_free_decrypted_mem() is a no-op unless
CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT is set.  But maybe if someone builds a
kernel image that supports both TDX and AMD encryption, it could break
at runtime on a TDX system.  I would also note that on a TDX system
without CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT, the unused memory in the
bss_decrypted section never gets freed.

On a TDX system *with* CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT, the unused
memory in the bss_decrypted section also never gets freed due to the
below "return;"

I'd suggest a Fixes tag should be added to make sure the distro vendors
notice the patch and backport it :-)

BTW, I just posted a similar patch as I didn't notice this patch. I have
replied to my patch email, asking people to ignore my patch.

Fixes: b3f0907c71e0 ("x86/mm: Add .bss..decrypted section to hold shared variables")

I think the Fixes: tag should really be:

e9d1d2bb75b2 ("treewide: Replace the use of mem_encrypt_active() with cc_platform_has()")

since mem_encrypt_active() used to return sme_me_mask, so the checks were
balanced at that point.

Thanks,
Tom
