After doing some cleanup work on the EFI code in head_64.S, the mixed
mode code in particular, I noticed that the memory encryption pieces
could use some attention as well, so I cleaned that up too.

Changes since v2:
- add some clarifying comments to the EFI mixed mode changes
- include patch to make the EFI handover protocol optional that was sent
out separately before
- rebase onto tip/master

Changes since v1:
- at Boris's request, split the patches into smaller ones that are
easier to review

This causes an SEV guest to blow up on boot in the early boot code. It
looks like the stack pointer is not valid and it triple faults on a pushq
instruction (pushq $__KERNEL_CS in arch/x86/boot/compressed/head_64.S of
startup_64).


Thanks for the report.

So the mystery here (at least to me) is that all the changes are to
the 32-bit code, and startup_64 reloads the stack pointer from the
symbol

I bisected it to:

99b7f4b23d9f ("x86/boot/compressed, efi: Merge multiple definitions of image_offset into one")

And doing the following fixed it:

diff --git a/drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/x86-stub.c b/drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/x86-stub.c
index cb5f0befee57..a0bfd31358ba 100644

+u32 image_offset __section(".data");
static efi_loaded_image_t *image = NULL;
static efi_status_t

I assume it has to do with being in .data vs .bss and not being explicitly
cleared with the encryption bit set. With the change to put image_offset in
the .data section, it is read as zero, where as when it was in the .bss
section it was reading "ciphertext".

Thanks,

Does your config have CONFIG_EFI_MIXED enabled?

Can I reproduce this fully emulated with QEMU? Or do I need a SEV host?
