We can surely *do* this with cc_something() helpers. It's just not as

Sure, that's easy: cc_pgprot_{enc,dec}() or so.

So, I've ended up with this in <asm/pgtable.h>

/*
* Macros to add or remove encryption attribute
*/
#ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CC_PLATFORM
pgprotval_t cc_enc(pgprotval_t protval);
pgprotval_t cc_dec(pgprotval_t protval);
#define pgprot_encrypted(prot) __pgprot(cc_enc(pgprot_val(prot)))
#define pgprot_decrypted(prot) __pgprot(cc_dec(pgprot_val(prot)))
#else
#define pgprot_encrypted(prot) (prot)
#define pgprot_decrypted(prot) (prot)
#endif

A couple of things. I think cc_pgprot_enc() and cc_pgprot_dec() would be
more descriptive/better names to use here.

Also, can they be defined in include/linux/cc_platform.h (with two versions
based on CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CC_PLATFORM) and have that included here? Or is
there some header file include issues when trying to include it? That would
clean this block up into just two lines.

Well, pgprotval_t is x86-specific. It cannot be used in generic headers.

Ah, right.

We can use u64 here instead. It is wider than pgprotval_t on 2-level
paging x86, but should work.

Hmm..., yeah. Maybe unsigned long? CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CC_PLATFORM is X86_64 only, so 2-level paging wouldn't be applicable when an unsigned long is 64-bits?

I'll let the maintainers weigh in on that.


But with u64 as type, I'm not sure 'pgprot' in the name is jutified.

Maybe cc_mask_{enc,dec}()? It just sounds like cc_{enc,dec}() is actually performing encryption or decryption and can be confusing.

Thanks,

Hm?
