Commit1958b5fc40("x86/boot: Add early boot support when running with SEV active") can occasionally cause system resets when kexec-ing a second kernel even if SEV is not active. That's because get_sev_encryption_bit() uses 32-bit rIP-relative addressing to read the value of enc_bit - a variable which caches a previously detected encryption bit position - but kexec may allocate the early boot code to a higher location, beyond the 32-bit addressing limit. In this case, garbage will be read and get_sev_encryption_bit() will return the wrong value, leading to accessing memory with the wrong encryption setting. Therefore, remove enc_bit, and thus get rid of the need to do 32-bit rIP-relative addressing in the first place.

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 Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
