Tom Lendacky c42a92d685 x86/boot/sev: Move SEV decompressor variables into the .data section 
commit 4ca191cec1 upstream.

As part of the work to remove the dependency on calling into the decompressor
code (startup_64()) for a UEFI boot, a call to rmpadjust() was removed from
sev_enable() in favor of checking the value of the snp_vmpl variable.

When booting through a non-UEFI path and calling startup_64(), the call to
sev_enable() is performed before the BSS section is zeroed. With the removal
of the rmpadjust() call and the corresponding check of the return code, the
snp_vmpl variable is checked.

Since the kernel is running at VMPL0, the snp_vmpl variable will not have been
set and should be the default value of 0.  However, since the call occurs
before the BSS is zeroed, the snp_vmpl variable may not actually be zero,
which will cause the guest boot to fail.

Since the decompressor relocates itself, the BSS would need to be cleared both
before and after the relocation, but this would, in effect, cause all of the
changes to BSS variables before relocation to be lost after relocation.

Instead, move the snp_vmpl variable into the .data section so that it is
initialized and the value made safe during relocation. As a pre-caution
against future changes, move other SEV-related decompressor variables into the
.data section, too.

README 

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 reStructuredText markup notation.

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.
