In some cases, bootloaders will leave boot_params->cc_blob_address
uninitialized rather than zeroing it out. This field is only meant to be
set by the boot/compressed kernel in order to pass information to the
uncompressed kernel when SEV-SNP support is enabled.
Therefore, there are no cases where the bootloader-provided values
should be treated as anything other than garbage. Otherwise, the
uncompressed kernel may attempt to access this bogus address, leading to
a crash during early boot.
Normally, sanitize_boot_params() would be used to clear out such fields
but that happens too late: sev_enable() may have already initialized
it to a valid value that should not be zeroed out. Instead, have
sev_enable() zero it out unconditionally beforehand.
Also ensure this happens for !CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT as well by also
including this handling in the sev_enable() stub function.

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.
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.
