Added stable to CC since the patch series this patch fixes is in stable-queue.
Oh, it wasn't clear from the commit message. But I guess the "Fixes:" tag would have caught Greg's eye regardless.
Ugh, I am _so_ behind in looking at patches that only have a Fixes: tag in it and not a "Cc: stable@" tag, due to the recent high-volume of the latter.
But they will end up in a mbox that I need to dig out of eventually, but it will take time, so if you know you want a patch in a stable release, it's much easier to just use the "Cc: stable@" tag please.
Just to make it easier, please put this upstream fix into -stable:
91cfc88c66bf: ("x86: Use __nostackprotect for sme_encrypt_kernel")
I believe all the prerequisite upstream commits are in -stable already:
1303880179e6: x86/mm: Clean up register saving in the __enc_copy() assembly code bacf6b499e11: x86/mm: Use a struct to reduce parameters for SME PGD mapping 2b5d00b6c2cd: x86/mm: Centralize PMD flags in sme_encrypt_kernel() cc5f01e28d6c: x86/mm: Prepare sme_encrypt_kernel() for PAGE aligned encryption 107cd2532181: x86/mm: Encrypt the initrd earlier for BSP microcode update
