When it's not static and has the name snp_init(), then it has to match
the definition in arch/x86/include/asm/sev.h, which is really intended
for the snp_init() in arch/x86/kernel/sev.c when called from
arch/x86/mm/mem_encrypt_identity.c.
So, yes, changing the name would be enough except then it remains not a
static and you can get a compiler warning about not having a prototype
for it if the -Wmissing-prototypes option is ever applied to that file
(I don't believe it is today because it is in the decompressor code, but
that can change). And since nothing calls the snp_init() in
arch/x86/boot/compressed/sev.c from outside of that file, making it
static was appropriate.
Thanks,
Tom
