The encryption attribute for the .bss..decrypted section is cleared in the
initial page table build. This is because the section contains the data

When SEV-SNP is active, just clearing the encryption attribute in the
page table is not enough. The page state need to be updated in the RMP
table.

This breaks SME on Rome and Milan when compiling with clang-13. I haven't been
able to figure out exactly what goes wrong. printk isn't functional at this point,
and interactive debug during boot on our test systems is beyond me. I can't even
verify that the bug is specific to clang because the draconian build system for our
test systems apparently is stuck pointing at gcc-4.9.
I suspect the issue is related to relocation and/or encrypting memory, as skipping
the call to early_snp_set_memory_shared() if SNP isn't active masks the issue.
I've dug through the assembly and haven't spotted a smoking gun, e.g. no obvious
use of absolute addresses.
Forcing a VM through the same path doesn't fail. I can't test an SEV guest at the
moment because INIT_EX is also broken.
The SEV INIT_EX was a PEBKAC issue. An SEV guest boots just fine with a clang-built
kernel, so either it's a finnicky relocation issue or something specific to SME.
I just built and booted 5.19-rc2 with clang-13 and SME enabled without issue:
[ 4.118226] Memory Encryption Features active: AMD SME
Maybe something with your kernel config? Can you send me your config?
Thanks,

The crash incurs a very, very slow reboot, and I was out of cycles to work on this
about three hours ago. If someone on the AMD side can repro, it would be much
appreciated.
