[PATCH v5 09/10] x86/hyperv/vtl: Mark the wakeup mailbox page as private
From: Ricardo Neri
Date: Fri Jun 27 2025 - 23:37:29 EST
From: Yunhong Jiang <yunhong.jiang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
The current code maps MMIO devices as shared (decrypted) by default in a
confidential computing VM.
In a TDX environment, secondary CPUs are booted using the Multiprocessor
Wakeup Structure defined in the ACPI specification. The virtual firmware
and the operating system function in the guest context, without
intervention from the VMM. Map the physical memory of the mailbox as
private. Use the is_private_mmio() callback.

Changes since v4:
- None
Changes since v3:
- Updated to use the renamed function acpi_get_mp_wakeup_mailbox_paddr().
- Added Reviewed-by tag from Michael. Thanks!
Changes since v2:
- Use the new helper function get_mp_wakeup_mailbox_paddr().
- Edited the commit message for clarity.
Changes since v1:
- Added the helper function within_page() to improve readability
- Override the is_private_mmio() callback when detecting a TDX
environment. The address of the mailbox is checked in
hv_is_private_mmio_tdx().
