AMD SEV and Intel TDX guests allocate shared buffers for performing I/O. This is done by allocating pages normally from the buddy allocator and then converting them to shared using set_memory_decrypted(). On kexec, the second kernel is unaware of which memory has been converted in this manner. It only sees E820_TYPE_RAM. Accessing shared memory as private is fatal. Therefore, the memory state must be reset to its original state before starting the new kernel with kexec. The process of converting shared memory back to private occurs in two steps: - enc_kexec_begin() stops new conversions. - enc_kexec_finish() unshares all existing shared memory, reverting it back to private.

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.
