Why is this an unconditional function? Isn't the mask simply 0 when the MEM
ENCRYPT support is disabled?

I made it unconditional because of the call from head_64.S. I can't make
use of the C level static inline function and since the mask is not a
variable if CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT is not configured (#defined to 0) I
can't reference the variable directly.

I could create a #define in head_64.S that changes this to load rax with
the variable if CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT is configured or a zero if it's
not or add a #ifdef at that point in the code directly. Thoughts on
that?

That does not make any sense. Neither the call to sme_encrypt_kernel() nor
the following call to sme_get_me_mask().

__startup_64() is already C code, so why can't you simply call that from
__startup_64() in C and return the mask from there?

I was trying to keep it explicit as to what was happening, but I can
move those calls into __startup_64(). I'll still need the call to
sme_get_me_mask() in the secondary_startup_64 path, though (depending on
your thoughts to the above response).

Do we really need a call here? The mask is established at this point, so
it's either 0 when the encryption stuff is not compiled in or it can be
retrieved from a variable which is accessible at this point.


Same as above, this can be updated based on the decided approach.

Thanks,
Tom
