Subject: [patch] x86/mm: Free sme_early_buffer after init
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.21.1907101318170.197432@chino.kir.corp.google.com>
User-Agent: Alpine 2.21 (DEB 202 2017-01-01)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

We want to be able to clear the contents of sme_early_buffer after
__sme_early_enc_dec() because it is used to move encrypted and decrypted
data, but since __sme_early_enc_dec() is __init we can simply free this
buffer after init.

This saves a page that is otherwise unreferenced after init.
