Aha, and I was wondering whether "globally" meant the RMP needs to cover
all physical memory but I guess that isn't the case:

"RMP-Covered: Checks that the target page is covered by the RMP. A page
is covered by the RMP if its corresponding RMP entry is below RMP_END.
Any page not covered by the RMP is considered a Hypervisor-Owned page."

So what's the logic here to return 1, i.e., retry?

Why should a fault for a page that gets unmapped be retried? The fault
in that case should be ignored, IMO. It'll have the same effect to
return from do_user_addr_fault() there, without splitting but you need
to have a separate return value definition so that it is clear what
needs to happen. And that return value should be != 0 so that the
current check still works.

What index in the RMP table?

So pte_index(address) and for 1G pages, pmd_index(address).

So no reinventing the wheel if we already have helpers for that.

I see what it is. And I'm saying this looks wrong. You're enforcing page
splitting to be a valid thing to do only for SEV machines. Why?

Why is

        if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT))
                return VM_FAULT_SIGBUS;

there at all?

This is generic code you're touching - not arch/x86/.
