This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
x86/sev: Guard sev_evict_cache() with CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPTto the 6.12-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git%3Ba=su...
The filename of the patch is: x86-sev-guard-sev_evict_cache-with-config_amd_mem_encrypt.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.12 subdirectory.
If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let stable@vger.kernel.org know about it.
Maybe I didn't use the tag correctly, but I put 6.16.x on the stable tag to indicate that the patch only applied to 6.16 and above. Before 6.16, there isn't a stub version of the function, so all off those releases are fine.
So this patch doesn't need to be part of the 6.12 stable tree.
Thanks, Tom

[ Upstream commit 7f830e126dc357fc086905ce9730140fd4528d66 ]
The sev_evict_cache() is guest-related code and should be guarded by CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT, not CONFIG_KVM_AMD_SEV.
CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT=y is required for a guest to run properly as an SEV-SNP guest, but a guest kernel built with CONFIG_KVM_AMD_SEV=n would get the stub function of sev_evict_cache() instead of the version that performs the actual eviction. Move the function declarations under the appropriate #ifdef.
