Since this change is specific to AMD, can you replace PATTR_MEM_ENCRYPT with
prot_guest_has(PATTR_SME) || prot_guest_has(PATTR_SEV). It is not used in
TDX.

This is a direct replacement for now. I think the change you're requesting
should be done as part of the TDX support patches so it's clear why it is
being changed.

Ok. I will include it part of TDX changes.


But, wouldn't TDX still need to do something with this shared/unencrypted
area, though? Or since it is shared, there's actually nothing you need to
do (the bss decrpyted section exists even if CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT is not
configured)?

Kirill had a requirement to turn on CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT for adding lazy
accept support in TDX guest kernel. Kirill, can you add details here?


Thanks,
Tom
