Subject: [PATCH 1/5] x86/sme: Clear decrypted BSS separately
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2026 23:02:52 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260724030256.232690-2-brgerst@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260724030256.232690-1-brgerst@gmail.com>
The decrypted BSS section needs to be cleared after it is remapped as
decrypted memory. Separate it so that the normal BSS section can be
cleared earlier.
