Intel Trust Domain Extensions (TDX) protects guest VMs from malicious

trusted hypervisor to manage and run protected VMs.

Pre-TDX Intel hardware has support for a memory encryption architecture
called MKTME. The memory encryption hardware underpinning MKTME is also
used for Intel TDX. TDX ends up "stealing" some of the physical address
space from the MKTME architecture for crypto-protection to VMs. The
BIOS is responsible for partitioning the "KeyID" space between legacy
MKTME and TDX. The KeyIDs reserved for TDX are called 'TDX private
KeyIDs' or 'TDX KeyIDs' for short.

TDX doesn't trust the BIOS. During machine boot, TDX verifies the TDX
private KeyIDs are consistently and correctly programmed by the BIOS
across all CPU packages before it enables TDX on any CPU core. A valid
TDX private KeyID range on BSP indicates TDX has been enabled by the
BIOS, otherwise the BIOS is buggy.

So we don't trust the BIOS, but trust the BIOS that it won't hot-remove physical memory or hotplug physical CPUS (if I understood the cover letter correctly)? :)


The TDX module is expected to be loaded by the BIOS when it enables TDX,
but the kernel needs to properly initialize it before it can be used to
create and run any TDX guests. The TDX module will be initialized by
the KVM subsystem when KVM wants to use TDX.

Add a new early_initcall(tdx_init) to detect the TDX by detecting TDX
private KeyIDs. Also add a function to report whether TDX is enabled by
the BIOS. Similar to AMD SME, kexec() will use it to determine whether
cache flush is needed.

The TDX module itself requires one TDX KeyID as the 'TDX global KeyID'
to protect its metadata. Each TDX guest also needs a TDX KeyID for its
own protection. Just use the first TDX KeyID as the global KeyID and
leave the rest for TDX guests. If no TDX KeyID is left for TDX guests,
disable TDX as initializing the TDX module alone is useless.

Does that really happen in practice that we care about that at all? Seems weird and rather like a broken firmware or sth like that ...


To start to support TDX, create a new arch/x86/virt/vmx/tdx/tdx.c for
TDX host kernel support. Add a new Kconfig option CONFIG_INTEL_TDX_HOST
to opt-in TDX host kernel support (to distinguish with TDX guest kernel
support). So far only KVM uses TDX. Make the new config option depend
on KVM_INTEL.

Why not set "tdx_global_keyid" last, such that you don't have to clear when anything goes wrong before that? Seems more straight forward.
