Subject: [PATCH v6 2/3] x86/tdx: Fix arch_safe_halt() execution for TDX VMs
Date: Tue, 25 Feb 2025 00:47:03 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250225004704.603652-3-vannapurve@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250225004704.603652-1-vannapurve@google.com>
Direct HLT instruction execution causes #VEs for TDX VMs which is routed
to hypervisor via TDCALL. If HLT is executed in STI-shadow, resulting #VE
handler will enable interrupts before TDCALL is routed to hypervisor
leading to missed wakeup events.
Current TDX spec doesn't expose interruptibility state information to
allow #VE handler to selectively enable interrupts. To bypass this
issue, TDX VMs need to replace "sti;hlt" execution with direct TDCALL
followed by explicit interrupt flag update.
Commit bfe6ed0c6727 ("x86/tdx: Add HLT support for TDX guests")
prevented the idle routines from executing HLT instruction in STI-shadow.
But it missed the paravirt routine which can be reached like this as an
example:
acpi_safe_halt() =>
raw_safe_halt() =>
arch_safe_halt() =>
irq.safe_halt() =>
pv_native_safe_halt()
To reliably handle arch_safe_halt() for TDX VMs, introduce explicit
dependency on CONFIG_PARAVIRT and override paravirt halt()/safe_halt()
routines with TDX-safe versions that execute direct TDCALL and needed
interrupt flag updates. Executing direct TDCALL brings in additional
benefit of avoiding HLT related #VEs altogether.
